Lu Su can choose to draw an additional two cards. If he has more than five cards afterward, Lu Su must give half of his hand, rounded down, to a character with the least number of hand cards.
Alliance 缔盟
Once per turn, Lu Su can discard X cards to force two characters to exchange hands, where X is the difference in the number of hand cards between the two characters.
If Lu Su is targeted with Starvation and fails the judgment, he cannot activate "Charity."
If there are multiple players tied for having the least number of hand cards when Lu Su activates "Charity," Lu Su chooses to whom the extra cards are given.
To fulfill the discarding requirements of "Alliance," Lu Su can discard any combination of hand cards or equipped cards.
Both "Charity" and "Alliance" give Lu Su and his team significant card advantage, allowing them to manipulate the flow of cards effectively.
"Charity" is especially useful when Lu Su starts his turn with few or no cards, as he can draw four cards without giving any away.
Lu Su’s "Alliance" ability can turn the tide of the game by forcing key opponents to swap hands, potentially disrupting their strategies.
Lu Su has no defensive abilities, making him very vulnerable with only three health.
Improper use of "Charity" can lead to losing most of his cards, weakening his position.
Since Lu Su’s powers can result in him giving away many of his cards, he needs careful planning to avoid becoming an easy target.
Hand Manipulation Specialists:
Characters like Xun Yu can work well with Lu Su by using "Eternal Loyalty" to refill hand cards for enemy characters after Lu Su forces them to exchange hands using "Alliance." This can reverse the impact of the swap, maintaining the card flow for Lu Su’s team.
Hand Redistribution Characters:
Characters like Liu Bei and Xu Shu can benefit greatly from Lu Su’s abilities. They can give away all their cards at the end of their turn, allowing Lu Su to use "Alliance" to swap their empty hand with an enemy holding many cards or "Charity" to supply them with a new hand.
Card Control:
When Lu Xun gives away his hand for "Alliance," his ability "Linked Camps" activates, allowing him to draw additional cards. This combination creates a loop where Lu Xun can recover easily after the hand exchange, making it hard for opponents to maintain control.
Lu Su is not a strong choice as king. With only three health and no defensive capabilities, he is highly vulnerable. Although he can support loyalists with his abilities, he needs strong allies to survive.
Lu Su is an effective loyalist when paired with the right king. He can help redistribute cards among his team, giving the king or other loyalists an edge. However, his low health makes him a target for rebels. Lu Su is particularly useful as a loyalist when the king is Liu Bei, as they can work together using hand-swapping mechanics.
As a rebel, Lu Su can greatly disrupt the king’s strategy. His "Alliance" ability can be used to force the king to exchange hands with a rebel who has few or no cards, significantly weakening the king’s position.
Lu Su is an intriguing choice as a spy. His "Alliance" ability allows him to manipulate both sides, forcing enemies to swap cards and disrupting their plans. However, since he lacks defensive abilities and has low health, he may struggle to survive long enough to capitalize on this.
Lu Su is a highly strategic character with unique abilities that allow him to manipulate the card flow of the game. His "Alliance" power can completely ruin an enemy's plans while greatly benefiting an ally. However, Lu Su’s major flaw is his fragility; with only three health and no defensive skills, he can be easily killed if not used carefully. A smart player must manage his card pool effectively, avoiding the overuse of "Charity" and ensuring that the right cards remain in hand to keep him alive.
Lu Su was a key figure in the history of the Three Kingdoms period, known for his diplomatic skills and generosity.

Similarly, "Alliance" echoes his role as a mediator, facilitating exchanges between different factions to maintain balance and stability in the battlefield. These abilities showcase Lu Su’s diplomatic finesse and his impact on the alliances that shaped the course of history during the Three Kingdoms era.
