Lu Bu Fengxian's Strengths

A Versatile Attacker with High Solo Damage

Lu Bu has an Attack Up and NP Strength Up from his skills, along with a passive Buster buff. This combination allows him to easily deal high damage on his own. As a Berserker, he holds a class advantage against most enemies, making him a versatile attacker even with an undeveloped roster.

Excels in Short Fights

His skill set is not suited for long battles, making him ideal for short fights like raids or farming single-target enemies. Since he lacks a skill to charge his own NP gauge, he is easier to use with support from Craft Essences or allies who can charge his NP.

Has an Ignore-Defense NP

Lu Bu's Noble Phantasm (NP) ignores enemy defense, making it effective against foes with strong or stacked defense buffs. This can significantly lower the difficulty of certain quests.

Low Chance to Stun

His NP has a low chance to stun the enemy after dealing damage. While increasing the Overcharge (OC) level raises this chance, the stun is never guaranteed. However, a lucky stun can prevent the fragile Berserker from taking a hit.

Skills Have Demerits

His second skill provides a 3-turn defense buff, but it also comes with a demerit that reduces his Attack Buff Success Rate by 50% for 3 turns. Due to this long-lasting demerit, it's crucial to be strategic, such as using this skill only after applying his offensive buffs.

Guide Team	The long duration of this demerit is a significant drawback. It's best to either time its use around ally skill cooldowns or simply avoid using it, as it doesn't directly increase his damage.

Skill 3 Has a Demerit for Allies

His third skill provides an NP Strength Up and increases his Star Absorption. However, it also has a demerit that reduces the defense of all other allies by 20%. Therefore, be mindful of the increased damage your team might take after its activation.

Can Also Be a Crit Attacker

While Berserkers typically have low Star Weight, Lu Bu's third skill increases his Star Absorption, allowing him to gather critical stars. By pairing him with star-generating allies or those who provide Critical Strength buffs, he can unleash powerful critical hits with his three Buster cards.
