Should You Fight Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors: Origins?
Confronting Lu Bu isn't for the faint of heart. My own battle lasted over an hour! However, there are compelling reasons to take on this challenge. First, the bragging rights. Defeating Lu Bu is a significant accomplishment. Second, sometimes you have no choice. If you align with Shu or Wei, a clash with Lu Bu is unavoidable in Chapter 4 during the Battle of Xiapi. Finally, victory at Hulao Gate unlocks the "The Strongest" trophy. Even better, post-game victory earns you the game's ultimate weapon—the halberd—a powerful incentive indeed.
Lu Bu's First Phase
Before engaging Lu Bu, strategic preparation is crucial. Equip a multi-hit sword to stagger him effectively. Battle Arts with low Bravery requirements, quick activation, and wide range are essential. My setup included Falcon Flurry, Mad Blade Rush, Absconding Slash, and Flying Dragon Slash. Boost your survivability with accessories like Divine Bird's Wing and Divine Turtle's Shell; his attacks are devastating. A weapon that grants Bravery for Perfect Evades is also highly beneficial, as evading will be your primary Bravery source.
Initially, Lu Bu rides Red Hare. This phase is relatively straightforward. He charges around, occasionally pausing. Exploit these pauses to unleash your Battle Arts, then retreat. His attacks, excluding Red Hare's powerful jump attack, have limited area of effect, making evasion manageable. Once his health reaches 80%, he dismounts, and the real fight begins.
Lu Bu's Second Phase
On foot, Lu Bu is a relentless force. His attacks are swift and unpredictable. A red aura indicates an unstoppable combo; evade immediately. He charges in sets of three; anticipate and dodge accordingly. If he charges without his spear, he's attempting a devastating grab—easily evaded.
His most dangerous move involves an orange glow, followed by three devastating ranged arrows, repeated thrice. Absconding Slash can interrupt this attack from a distance; close-range Battle Arts are suicide. Keep your Musou gauge charged for invincibility during emergencies.
Despite his power, Lu Bu is surprisingly juggle-able. Sustained attacks rapidly charge your Battle Arts, breaking his Fortitude meter faster. Maintain close proximity for quicker reactions. Remember: evasion is key.
Lu Bu's Final Phase
Upon reaching a certain health threshold, Lu Bu enters Musou Rage, signaling the final phase. He becomes unstaggerable, unleashing a relentless barrage of attacks. Your goal: deplete his Fortitude before he unleashes his Musou attack. Since staggering is impossible, use every available tool—Musou attacks, Battle Arts—to overwhelm him. Failing to break his Fortitude before his Musou attack forces a restart. Success here brings victory over this seemingly insurmountable foe.
And there you have it—conquering Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors: Origins! Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
