Lu Bu - Rating & Skills

Ideally Transcend to Max if Using in PvP

With Transcendence 2, he gains defense reduction, and at Transcendence 6 he gains HP recovery (priority on self and one back row ally) and gains an increased Defense Ignore multiplier on both skills. He becomes excellent not only as an attacker but also as a supporter, so aim for at least T2, ideally T6 if using in PvP.

Point!

She seems like a character that can be used together with Pascal in scenarios where he excels!

Xiao Qiao has access to Paralysis Immunity making her a great choice for PvE stages. Most notably, she performs best in Iron Devourer. However, her Magic Vulnerability, Increased Magic Attack Boost, and Critical Damage buff are also useful in other PvE content.

Lu Bu's Impact on the Meta

Strengthens Physical Teams

Lu Bu is not only a powerful physical attacker but also an excellent supporter with Defense Ignore, Physical Damage Boost, HP Recovery (priority on one back row ally), and defense ignore rate UP. This is expected to strengthen physical teams and increase their usage in PvP.

Decreased Usage of Freyja/Sun Wukong in Physical Teams

Previously, Freyja and Sun Wukong were often used in physical teams. However, since Lu Bu decreases magic attack by 90%, it becomes difficult to include them. Therefore, physical teams composed solely of physical heroes are likely to increase.

Teams Require Testing

When including Sun Wukong or Freyja, the benefit is high adaptability to the environment such as Sun Wukong being able to counter enemy Freyja's HP conversion. In contrast, Lu Bu formations have the characteristic of physical teams that overwhelm with raw damage, and both have their strengths.

More Options for Farming Characters

With two All Enemy Attacks, paired with Additional Damage on Weakness Hit, Defense Ignore, and cooldown reset upon revival, he excels in Ruby and Nightmare farming. He fits into the role of physical farming characters like Teo and Klahan.

Point!

Lu Bu seems to have an advantage in win rate, while Klahan has an advantage in farming speed.

Xiao Qiao's Impact on the Meta

Increased Efficiency in Iron Devourer Raid

As a direct upgrade to Victoria, Xiao Qiao excels in the Iron Devourer Raid. This is expected to allow clearing in fewer turns and improve farming efficiency.

Other Alternatives

Alternatives include Kyle, who is also an attacker for physical teams in PvP. For farming purposes, Teo and Klahan can also serve as alternatives.
