Strike the Halberd 射戟
When Lu Bu attacks, if he is also within the target’s attacking range, the attack is unavoidable.
Final Assault 绝戮
When Lu Bu uses his last hand card to attack, the attack has no range limitations and can target up to two additional players.
"Strike the Halberd" only activates when Lu Bu is within the target’s attacking range. If Lu Bu attacks from outside their range, this ability does not apply, and the target can defend as usual.
"Strike the Halberd" is mandatory when its conditions are met; Lu Bu cannot choose to make the attack avoidable.
"Final Assault" allows Lu Bu to target additional players even if the attack card would normally only affect a single target. When combined with weapons like the Sky Scorcher, the number of targets increases further (e.g., up to five targets total).
"Strike the Halberd" makes Lu Bu’s attacks unavoidable when he’s within the target’s range, forcing opponents to rely on preemptive strategies to avoid taking damage.
"Final Assault" enables Lu Bu to strike multiple opponents simultaneously, making him exceptionally dangerous in team situations or when clearing weakened opponents.
Lu Bu’s abilities complement weapons like Sky Scorcher or Ice Sword, enhancing his offensive capabilities even further.
"Final Assault" requires Lu Bu to have no other cards in hand, which can leave him vulnerable if his attack fails or the targets survive.
"Strike the Halberd" depends on Lu Bu being within the target’s attacking range, making him less effective against characters without long-range capabilities.
Lu Bu’s abilities are entirely offensive, leaving him with few defensive options against coordinated attacks or prolonged battles.
Weapon Synergy:
Lu Bu excels with weapons like Sky Scorcher. It enhances his "Final Assault" by allowing him to target even more players.

Characters like Zhuge Liang or Liu Bei can support Lu Bu by providing him with the cards he needs to attack. If he can use his last card to attack multiple people with Wine, he can devastate the table.
Defensive Targets:
Paired with characters like Zhen Ji or Lu Meng, Lu Bu can create relentless offensive pressure. These unavoidable assaults overwhelm opponents.
As King, Lu Bu's offensive abilities allow him to eliminate threats quickly, but his lack of defense makes him a risky choice.
Lu Bu thrives as a Loyalist, using his abilities to shield the King by pressuring Rebels and eliminating key threats.
As a Rebel, Lu Bu's ability to target multiple opponents with "Final Assault" makes him effective in weakening the King and Loyalists simultaneously.
In the Spy role, Lu Bu’s offensive flexibility enables him to adapt to shifting power balance and take advantage of weakened players.
Lu Bu is an unparalleled offensive force, capable of delivering devastating attacks that are difficult to counter. His abilities reward bold, aggressive play, particularly in team scenarios where his "Final Assault" can target multiple opponents. However, his reliance on positioning and card management requires careful planning to avoid being left vulnerable. Lu Bu excels in roles that prioritize high-impact offense and thrives when supported by allies who can mitigate his defensive weaknesses.
Lu Bu is one of the most infamous figures of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Chinese history. Known for his unmatched martial prowess, he was a formidable warrior whose strength in battle was legendary. However, his treachery and impulsive nature often led to his downfall.
Lu Bu’s most famous moments include slaying his foster father Ding Yuan at Dong Zhuo’s behest and later betraying Dong Zhuo in turn. His exceptional skill with the halberd earned him the nickname "Flying General," and his steed, Red Hare, further added to his mythos. Despite his talents, Lu Bu’s poor judgment and lack of loyalty caused him to fall out of favor repeatedly. He was ultimately defeated and executed after being captured by Cao Cao at Xiapi.
In Sanguosha, "Strike the Halberd" reflects Lu Bu’s prowess in close combat, while "Final Assault" highlights his ability to turn the tide of battle in moments of desperation. His title, "Evil Spirit of the White Gate," alludes to his eventual death outside the White Gate Tower, a tragic end for one of the most iconic warriors of the era.
