• When Du Yu damages players in the Chains using "Search and Destroy," the damage is not elemental, so those players remain in the Chains.

• Du Yu can target himself with "Search and Destroy" and get himself out of the Chains.

• After Du Yu kills someone by any method, he gains the Crossbow effect for the remainder of his turn.

• If Du Yu already has a weapon equipped, it is not replaced, but it becomes inactive for the rest of the turn while the Crossbow effect is in play.

• Du Yu cannot equip a new weapon during the same turn to overwrite the temporary Crossbow effect. Any weapon equipped will only take effect starting next turn.

• Du Yu does not need to kill with "Search and Destroy" to activate the Crossbow effect—any method of killing will suffice.

• Du Yu is capable of punishing tightly grouped Chain formations by damaging all other chained characters with a single weapon discard.

• Gaining the Crossbow effect after any kill allows Du Yu to unleash multiple attacks in a single turn, greatly increasing his burst potential.

• He can remove himself from the Chain status by targeting himself, giving him the flexibility to avoid incoming damage or set up Chain timing.

• Du Yu loses out on powerful equipment effects that other characters rely on.

• Using "Search and Destroy" requires discarding a hand card, which reduces his hand size and limits his ability to respond defensively.

• Du Yu must successfully kill a character to activate his Crossbow effect, so poor damage setup or enemy healing can prevent his explosive potential.

  Characters like Pang Tong who spread Chains set up Du Yu to hit multiple enemies with "Search and Destroy."

• Damage Amplifiers:
  Characters like Huang Zhong and Gan Ning help increase Du Yu's kill potential, enabling Crossbow effects.

• Card Recyclers:
  Characters like Xun Yu and Liu Bei who help draw or recycle cards make the discard cost of "Search and Destroy" less punishing.

Du Yu is a ruthless chain punisher and killer who thrives on disruption and sudden aggression. His ability to temporarily overwrite weapon limitations and gain the Crossbow effect rewards tactical elimination and careful chain manipulation. Though his inability to benefit from weapons limits flexibility, the raw damage potential and control over the Chain mechanic give him sharp offensive teeth.

Du Yu was a famous general and strategist of the Western Jin Dynasty, best known for his military campaigns that ended the state of Eastern Wu and unified China under the Jin. Calm, methodical, and brilliant in logistics, Du Yu’s meticulous warfare and discipline are reflected in his ability "Search and Destroy," where precision strikes through the Chain system mirror his clean and calculated military style. His disregard for weapon bonuses in-game recalls his historical focus on large-scale tactics over personal combat, while the Crossbow effect channels his ability to push momentum once a weakness is found. Du Yu’s control of battlefield flow in history comes alive through his in-game chain manipulation and lethal targeting.
