Lore
Lu Bu is one of the most iconic figures from the Three Kingdoms period, renowned as the mightiest warrior of his era. In historical and literary accounts, he served multiple lords (including Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo) before being betrayed and executed. He is inseparable from his legendary steed, Red Hare, and his weapon, the Sky Piercer halberd.
In Primaera's reimagined lore, Lu Bu is depicted as a warrior consumed by the hatred in his heart, using his halberd to capture the souls of his enemies. The Flow energy amplifies his already legendary strength, making him one of the most powerful combatants in the world.
Abilities
Lu Bu's combat kit revolves around halberd attacks with wide sweeping arcs, self-healing on hit, and a powerful ultimate. His abilities are adapted from his Honor of Kings MOBA incarnation:
Halberd Enchantment (Passive)
When Lu Bu's halberd attacks hit an enemy, the weapon becomes enchanted for 8 seconds. While enchanted, each normal attack heals Lu Bu based on a percentage of his missing health. This passive gives Lu Bu exceptional self-sustain in prolonged fights, allowing him to trade hits and recover through aggression.
Impaling Thrust
Lu Bu swings his halberd forward in a powerful arc, dealing heavy physical damage to enemies in a wide frontal cone. If the slash does not hit an enemy hero or elite enemy, the enchantment on his halberd immediately fades. This creates an incentive to land every attack and stay in melee range.
Soul Eater
Lu Bu captures the souls of nearby enemies, dealing physical damage and slowing them. For each soul captured, he gains a shield that absorbs damage, stacking up to three layers. This ability provides both defensive shielding and crowd control, making it useful for engaging groups of enemies.
Tremble, Mortals (Ultimate)
Lu Bu leaps into the air and crashes down, defining a "killing field" around the impact zone. Enemies within the area are knocked up for one second and take massive physical damage. While inside the killing field, Lu Bu gains significant bonus physical and magical defense. This ultimate combines burst damage, crowd control, and personal survivability.
