SKILLS
This is the list of skills of Lu Bu
Passive
Bloodthirsty Ancestry
Cooldown: 0s, Cost: 0
When Lubu’s skill strikes an enemy hero, it enchants his weapon for 8 seconds. During this time, his weapon deals true damage. While enchanted, each of Lubu’s basic attacks heals him for 50-100 (+2% extra HP) health.
Tips: Lubu has a longer basic attack range than ordinary warriors. When enchanted, he gains higher damage and health regeneration, ensuring his sustained combat capability and better development.
Skill 01
Impaling Thrust
Cooldown: 5s, Cost: 0
Lubu swings his weapon forward, dealing 550/660/770/880/990/1100 (+240% extra physical attack) physical damage. When enchanted, each time Impaling Thrust hits an enemy hero, Lubu heals for 100-200 (+4% extra HP) health. If the attack misses an enemy hero, the enchantment is immediately lost.
Tips: After hitting an enemy hero, Lubu’s basic attacks can deal true damage and heal him, which is crucial for his sustained damage output in team fights.
Skill 02
Souleater
Cooldown: 8.5/8.2/7.9/7.6/7.3/7s, Cost: 0
Lubu seizes the souls of enemies within range, dealing 100/120/140/160/180/200 (+40% extra physical attack) physical damage and slowing them by 30% for 3 seconds. For each soul seized, Lubu gains a shield of 300/360/420/480/540/600 (+10% extra HP), stacking up to 3 times. Lubu converts 25% of the shield into health per second, with every 2 shield points converting into 1 health point.
Tips: The shield effect becomes stronger when more enemy units are hit, and it also slightly slows down enemies to help with crowd control.
Ultimate
Tremble, Mortals
Cooldown: 50s, Cost: 0
Lubu descends from the sky, creating a kill zone and knocking up enemies within the area for 1 second. Upon landing, Lubu slashes with his weapon, dealing 550/825/1100 (+280% extra physical attack) physical damage. When enchanted, each enemy hero hit by Tremble Mortals restores 100-200 (+4% extra HP) health to Lubu. Lubu gains 150/225/300 physical and magic defense while inside the kill zone. Enemies touching the edge of the zone take 150/225/300 (+75% extra physical attack) physical damage and are slowed by 50% for 2 seconds. If the enemy is a hero, Lubu also gains an additional 100-200 (+4% extra HP) health.
Tips: This is a very powerful crowd control skill with a large area of effect, capable of knocking up all enemies within its range, making it perfect for initiating team fights. It can also be used as a mobility skill to escape when facing an enemy gank.

Recommended Combo Sequence
Slow the enemy with the second skill, enchant the weapon with the first skill followed by a normal attack, then use the third skill to engage and again use the first skill for output.
Lu Bu Best Partners
- Empress Wu Zetian: Her continuous control and damage can synergize well with Lu Bu for output. In team fights, Lu Bu initiates with his ultimate to control the enemy’s backline, followed by Empress Wu Zetian’s ultimate for control and heavy damage output.
- Bai Qi: As a main tank in team fights, Bai Qi absorbs damage and controls enemy heroes, while Lu Bu, an offensive warrior, benefits from a hero who can control and catch enemies.
Lu Bu Counter
- Xiang Yu’s first skill can effectively interrupt Lu Bu’s ultimate casting.
- Wang Zhaojun’s slow and control skills are effective at kiting Lu Bu.
Tactics:
- When Lu Bu is in an enchanted state, avoid his first skill and do not get hit by his slashes.
- Attack Lu Bu during the cooldown gap of his Halberd Slash when his weapon is enchanted.
Usage Tips
Use the second skill to slow opponents, then the first skill for output. The ultimate is mainly for initiating team fights, requiring prediction of enemy movement to affect as many enemies as possible.
Team Fight Strategy
Detail 1: Inflict true damage during weapon enchantment state.
Detail 2: Use the third skill to divide the battlefield in team fights.
During team fights, Lu Bu should focus on the accuracy of his ultimate to affect as many enemies as possible, leveraging his formidable passive ability to absorb damage, recover health, and deal high output even with defensive gear.
