• The tool card obtained from "Hidden Blade" is gained after it is successfully negated; you do not gain the effect, only the card itself.

• If the attack from "Hidden Blade" was elemental, you gain that Attack as printed with whatever elemental properties that it had when it was used.

• You may only activate "Furious Strike" multiple times per turn, during your Action Phase.

• Lightning damage from "Furious Strike" is elemental and interacts with characters vulnerable to chained targets.

• The two Attacks discarded for "Furious Strike" must be the same color—both red or both black.

• “Hidden Blade” rewards good timing and defensive play by converting cards used against him into resources.

• Can dish out elemental damage without relying on tool cards, making “Furious Strike” useful against characters weak to elemental effects or who cannot dodge it.

• High potential to turn opponents’ aggression against them and punish single-target actions.

• Very flexible in duels and skirmishes, especially with abundant Attacks.

• Relies on having Negate and Escape at key moments to activate “Hidden Blade,” which may not be reliable every game.

• “Furious Strike” requires two same-color Attacks, making it hand-intensive and situational.

• No natural healing or defensive mechanism beyond disruption—can be overwhelmed by group aggression or damage over time.

• Limited ability synergy when facing multi-target tools or area effects.

• Tool-Based Opponents:
  Wu Fu thrives against opponents who use frequent single-target tools. Generals like Huang Yueying, Gan Ning, or Deng Ai often feed into “Hidden Blade,” allowing Wu Fu to generate card advantage and regain tools mid-play.

• Red Attack Stackers:
  Characters who flood the hand with Attacks, like Zhang Fei or Guang Yu, make it easier to activate “Furious Strike” consistently. The synergy allows Wu Fu to become a burst-damage threat while maintaining strong defense.

King

• • As King, Wu Fu lacks traditional crowd control or healing, making him a high-risk leadership pick. He depends on reactive play—using “Hidden Blade” to deter attackers and “Furious Strike” to punish specific threats—but can be overwhelmed if targeted early. Without Loyalists who supply hand size or protection, he struggles to maintain board presence. However, against enemies who rely heavily on tools and single-target attacks, he can snowball value and control the rhythm of the game.

Loyalist

• • Wu Fu makes a solid Loyalist when paired with a King who draws attention. His reactive nature lets him counter Rebel pressure, especially if the King is targeted by tool cards that he can Negate and recover. He gains additional value from converting defense into resources, while “Furious Strike” can help focus down key threats. Though not protective in a direct sense, his flexible utility allows him to be disruptive in the Loyalist role.

Rebel

• • As a Rebel, Wu Fu is most effective against Kings who use many tools or rely on precision attacks. “Furious Strike” gives him consistent pressure without the need for weapons, and “Hidden Blade” helps him generate value during the skirmish phase. However, his lack of durability can limit his performance in large-scale confrontations. He works best as a second-wave attacker who picks off weakened Loyalists or finishes off a vulnerable King.

Spy

• • Wu Fu is an unpredictable Spy who thrives in slow games. He can play both sides, using “Hidden Blade” to generate card advantage and “Furious Strike” to finish off wounded characters. His abilities allow him to avoid attention early while quietly gaining resources. However, if forced into open conflict, he lacks the sustain or burst damage to win outright. Patience and timing are key to his effectiveness in this role.

Wu Fu is a highly tactical general who excels in skirmish situations and thrives when facing opponents that rely on direct tools and targeted attacks. His ability to convert defense into offense makes him ideal for players who enjoy reading opponents and making sharp counters. However, he is vulnerable to broad area damage and cannot sustain prolonged aggression without the right hand. Played patiently, Wu Fu can transform defense into decisive blows, but he falters if forced into early all-in trades.

Wu Fu was an honorable official of the Eastern Han dynasty known for his loyalty and courage during a time of great political upheaval. In the final years of Emperor Ling’s reign and the power vacuum that followed, Dong Zhuo rose to dominate the imperial court with violence and corruption. Outraged by Dong Zhuo's usurpation of power and tyranny, Wu Fu attempted to assassinate him. However, the plot failed, and Wu Fu was executed for his defiance. Though not a military figure on the battlefield, Wu Fu is remembered for his moral courage, standing as a rare example of resistance to Dong Zhuo’s reign of terror. His game design in Sanguosha reflects this righteous resolve and readiness to sacrifice himself for a just cause—traits embodied in his "Furious Strike" and "Hidden Blade" abilities.
