LU BU Skills and Abilities

Bloodthirsty Ancestry (Passive): When Lu Bu’s Halberd Slash hits an enemy hero, it enchants the weapon for 8 seconds, dealing equivalent true damage. While enchanted, Lu Bu’s Halberd Slash skills heal him for (+50% additional physical attack) (+4% of missing health) per enemy hero hit. In enchanted state, each of Lu Bu’s normal attacks on enemies heals him for (+25% additional physical attack) (+1% of missing health). Cooldown: 0s Cost: 0
Tips: Lu Bu has a longer normal attack range than typical warriors, offering higher damage and health recovery in enchanted state, ensuring Lu Bu’s sustainability and better development.

Impaling Thrust (Skill 01): Lu Bu swings his halberd forward, dealing 500/635/770/905/1040/1175 (+260% additional physical attack) physical damage. If the slash does not hit an enemy hero, the halberd immediately loses its enchantment. Cooldown: 5s Cost: 0
Tips: Hitting an enemy hero allows for true damage and health recovery on normal attacks, crucial for Lu Bu’s sustained output in team fights.

Soul Eater (Skill 02): Lu Bu seizes the souls of enemies within range, causing a 30% slow for 3 seconds. For each soul seized, Lu Bu gains a 175/220/265/310/355/400 (+150% additional physical attack) point shield, stacking up to 3 layers. Lu Bu converts 25% of the current shield into health every second, with every 2 points of shield converting into 1 point of health.
Cooldown: 8s Cost: 0
Tips: Hitting more enemy units strengthens the shield effect and provides a slight slow for catching enemies.

Tremble, Mortals (Ultimate): Lu Bu descends from the sky, defining a killing field and knocking up enemies within range for 1 second. Upon landing, he vigorously slashes with his halberd, dealing 550/800/1050 (+300% additional physical attack) physical damage. Lu Bu gains 150/200/250 physical and magical defense within the killing field. Enemies touching the field’s edge suffer 150/200/250 (+87% additional physical attack) physical damage and a 50% slow for 2 seconds, and if they are heroes, they also heal Lu Bu for (+50% additional physical attack) (+4% of missing health).
Cooldown: 50s Cost: 0
Tips: A powerful control skill with a large range, suitable for initiating team fights. It can also serve as an escape mechanism against enemy ganks.

Lu Bu Best Partners

• Empress Wu Zetian: Her continuous control and damage can synergize well with Lu Bu for output. In team fights, Lu Bu initiates with his ultimate to control the enemy’s backline, followed by Empress Wu Zetian’s ultimate for control and heavy damage output.
• Bai Qi: As a main tank in team fights, Bai Qi absorbs damage and controls enemy heroes, while Lu Bu, an offensive warrior, benefits from a hero who can control and catch enemies.

Lu Bu Counter

• Xiang Yu’s first skill can effectively interrupt Lu Bu’s ultimate casting.
• Wang Zhaojun’s slow and control skills are effective at kiting Lu Bu.

Tactics:

1. When Lu Bu is in an enchanted state, avoid his first skill and do not get hit by his slashes.
2. Attack Lu Bu during the cooldown gap of his Halberd Slash when his weapon is enchanted.

Usage Tips

Use the second skill to slow opponents, then the first skill for output. The ultimate is mainly for initiating team fights, requiring prediction of enemy movement to affect as many enemies as possible.

Team Fight Strategy

Detail 1: Inflict true damage during weapon enchantment state.
Detail 2: Use the third skill to divide the battlefield in team fights.

During team fights, Lu Bu should focus on the accuracy of his ultimate to affect as many enemies as possible, leveraging his formidable passive ability to absorb damage, recover health, and deal high output even with defensive gear.
