I don't think 2 ancient Greeks and a Cimmerian who don't know a lick of English and don't have knowledge of the modern world are going to have a good job of finding allies.Many of the survivors would probably see them as psychos and would make the choice to just shoot them dead on site and take their belongings.
They won't have knowledge on where to find food or that some exists inside cans. They wouldn't know if that bottle of aspirin or poison is consumable. Or those consumables most people know have expired and are too dangerous to eat.
All the little things normal people leave behind.
Just wanted to weigh in on this. Since we're using movie/tv versions, then everyone of them actually speaks english (because they spoke english in the movies).
It's true that groups 4 and 5 won't know about technology and canned goods and stuff, but that can be worked around when they meet their first survivor as the survivors can be the ones to work for the food. Granted, it's still a disadvantage considering they need to depend on other survivors to "spoon feed" them much of this modern world, but I believe that's countered by the advantages they have in being used to living without technology. They probably know how to make weapons out of woodworks, farm, created fire without lighters, etc.
As for the chakram, although I do remember it being able to decapitate, I don't remember it being able to decapitate multiple opponents at once. I remember it bouncing around and knocking out multiple people and sometimes cutting through the throats of multiple people, but never decapitating multiple people. So yeah, can it kill the zombies? Yes, but nothing more effective than the other weapons the other teams might use. I consider it far inferior to either Hawkeye's or Legolas's bows and arrows. At least with the bows and arrows, angled shots to the head are easier to make (as compared to angled shots to the neck) and they can rapid fire whereas Xena will have to wait for her chakram to come back before launching again. And there's always the possibility that it gets stuck somewhere (it happened multiple times in the series).
