• When defending against Lu Bu with the Eight Trigrams, the judgments are done one by one. If the first judgment fails, the defender must throw an Escape before performing the second judgment.

• A defender must always use an additional Escape when attacked by Lu Bu. Lu Bu does not have the choice. This is also true when a character Duels Lu Bu.

• Lu Bu is a monster when he attacks someone directly. Most of the time, players will rather take the damage than spend two cards to stop it.

• Lu Bu is one of the best characters to use Wine with. When players hold on to an Escape for emergencies, it won't be enough.

• If Lu Bu has the Crossbow, he can punish people since they can't stop all the attacks.

• When a player has only one blood left, they are in big trouble. Keeping a single Escape in their hand will do nothing for them. They will have very limited options for what cards to keep.

• Lu Bu does not have any defensive characteristics to help him when others attack him.

• There isn't much that Lu Bu can do to help his teammates. His role is mainly focused on pounding his enemies.

• Ally or Enemy:
  Diao Chan can be either a fantastic friend or an annoying enemy. When she sends Lu Bu into a Duel, "Matchless" will activate on whoever he is fighting. Since Diao Chan chooses the combatants, she can cause Lu Bu to fight his own teammates, and because fighting back is so costly, they will always suffer damage. When they are teamed up, the couple can punish their enemies through their attacks and "Sow Discord," focusing damage on a single player.

• Synergy with Zhang Jiao:
  Zhang Jiao and Lu Bu can make a powerful team. Lu Bu can pass Zhang Jiao an Escape during his turn and then attack him. When Zhang Jiao uses that Escape, he activates "Lightning Strike." After that, he uses the second Escape to trigger "Lightning Strike" again.

• Counter Duelist:
  Lu Bu is a strong counter to Yan Liang and Wen Chou. When they duel Lu Bu, they must use extra cards to defend. Their power becomes either useless or extremely costly.

King

• • Lu Bu is not an ideal King. He must be constantly on the offensive, attacking enemies, but his lack of defensive options makes him a vulnerable target.

Loyalist

• • Normally, Lu Bu is a poor choice as a Loyalist. His focus on offense means that he can only contribute by attacking while leaving the King alone. However, in certain combinations, such as with Zhang Jiao, he can be a formidable Loyalist.

Rebel

• • Lu Bu shines as a Rebel. Once he gets within range of the King, he can relentlessly attack, leaving the King with no choice but to throw away two cards or take heavy damage.

Spy

• • As a Spy, Lu Bu is mediocre. He has the offensive power to deal with anyone, but without defensive abilities, he is not equipped for a long-term survival strategy.

Lu Bu is one of the strongest characters for launching direct assaults. As long as he can reach his opponent with attacks, they will groan under his immense power. Players facing him will be forced to take damage unless they spend a massive amount of cards defending. However, Lu Bu does not fare well defensively and needs to keep attacking to stay relevant in the game. He is not designed for a defensive or passive approach and thrives in constant combat.

Lu Bu's reputation as an unstoppable force is solidified in the legendary Battle of Hu Lao Gate. After cutting down numerous enemy generals without breaking a sweat, he faced one of the most iconic duels in history: a 3-on-1 battle against the combined might of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. Lu Bu stood alone, deflecting each attack from the three heroes as they coordinated their efforts against him. The clash was fierce, with blows exchanged in rapid succession. Despite their combined strength, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei could not overpower Lu Bu. Ultimately, the battle ended in a stalemate—not because Lu Bu was bested, but because his mighty steed, Red Hare, was exhausted from the relentless fighting. This forced Lu Bu to withdraw, leaving the battlefield still undefeated.

This story ties closely to Lu Bu’s game abilities. His "Matchless" power reflects his overwhelming combat prowess, requiring opponents to use extra resources in duels and attacks, just like how Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei struggled to overpower him despite their numbers.
