Aid the Weak 扶危
At the end of any other character’s turn, if they have 2 or fewer hand cards, you may discard one card to have them draw X cards.
X is the amount of health you are missing.
Suppression 镇压
If damage you deal causes a character to enter the brink of death and they recover, you may flip their general card.
"Aid the Weak" can be triggered even if the other character is at full health; the only condition is that they end their turn with 2 or fewer hand cards.
The number of cards they draw is based on how many health you, Zhu Jun, are missing—not them.
You can use equipment to pay the discard cost for "Aid the Weak."
"Suppression" activates only if the damage you deal causes another player to enter the brink of death and that character survives.
If a character is already flipped face-down and is flipped again by "Suppression," they will return to face-up status.
Can provide burst card draw to struggling allies, helping prevent elimination or recover momentum.
Gains greater utility when wounded, making it more difficult to ignore or control him passively.
"Suppression" can disrupt enemy plans and punish opponents who rely on consistent card access.
Relies on missing health to maximize "Aid the Weak," making him less effective when uninjured.
Requires careful card management due to the discard requirement.
"Suppression" is conditional on a very specific situation and may not trigger often.
Can struggle against characters who avoid hand limit pressure or can heal themselves frequently.
Recovery-Oriented Allies:
Characters like Liu Bei, Hua Tuo, or Jiang Wei can make the most of the draw granted by "Aid the Weak," combining healing or hand-filling effects with Zhu Jun’s support.
Damage Finishers:
Characters like Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, or Gan Ning who reliably deal damage benefit from Zhu Jun’s threat of "Suppression" as a follow-up to critical blows.
Card-Cycling Strategists:
Allies who burn through cards rapidly, such as Fa Zheng or Sima Yi, can frequently end turns with 2 or fewer cards, giving Zhu Jun more opportunities to trigger his ability.
Zhu Jun performs solidly as King thanks to his ability to support Loyalists with hand advantage. However, he may lack the direct control or recovery expected from the role if not carefully protected.
This is Zhu Jun’s best role. He can support his King and fellow allies with reliable card draw while discouraging the enemy with "Suppression." His balanced utility makes him a helpful team member.
As a Rebel, Zhu Jun can capitalize on enemy damage and low-hand states but may struggle to maximize his abilities without allies who consistently drop below 2 hand cards.
He is a mediocre Spy. While subtle in his play and occasionally supportive, Zhu Jun lacks explosive power or deception that makes Spies hard to pin down or eliminate.
Zhu Jun thrives as a battlefield tactician who supports the weak and punishes the overly bold. His strength lies not in overpowering force, but in manipulating recovery and hand economy to shift the tide of play. When wounded, his "Aid the Weak" becomes more potent, rewarding careful damage control. Meanwhile, "Suppression" disrupts characters who rely on surviving lethal damage, making him an effective secondary threat. Though not flashy, Zhu Jun rewards players who think ahead and value subtle but strategic influence over the game’s flow.
Zhu Jun was a well-regarded Han general and official who rose to prominence during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Known for his loyalty to the Han court and his calm but effective command, Zhu Jun served alongside figures like Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi in suppressing the early stages of the rebellion. Despite political interference—especially by the eunuchs of the court—Zhu Jun maintained a strong sense of justice and military discipline. Later, as Dong Zhuo seized control of the central government, Zhu Jun remained aligned with the Han but failed to stop the chaos that followed. His abilities in Sanguosha represent his dual legacy: providing aid to those in need and punishing threats with calm authority. "Aid the Weak" mirrors his support for struggling officers and provinces, while "Suppression" reflects his military success in quelling threats to imperial stability.
