I made a mistake with the video editing, so this one is a quick re-upload.
The mighty Lu Bu turns out to be not so mighty in this game. I actually like how Lu Bu is arguably the best in Dynasty Warriors 5. I don’t might him being completely broken even in DW5 Chaos Mode, because he should be unparalleled in this way. In my DW5 full customization tier list, I have Zhuge Liang rivaling him in top tier. Lol, until someone wants to debate about this, these two still stay in the top tier. Anyway, I also like this a lot, as the best warrior and the best strategist of the Three Kingdoms, makes the top tier (trust me, I didnt do it on purpose, the character analyzes just happened to put these two in the top tier). Anyway, there’s my rant on how Lu Bu should deserve to be one of the best in any game like this.
Here’s evidence on why KOEI hates Lu Bu:
1) Late elemental activation (C4). Well…C1 and C2 count as elemental charge attacks but they are useless.
2) All the mightiest warriors (historically) such as Tadakatsu Honda, Musashi Miyamoto, Keiji Maeda, Zuo Ci (I suppose…KOEI just chose to make this guy a really good character), get attack buffs. Lu Bu doesn’t.
3) Zhang Fei’s C4 by default launches enemies, while with Multi it doesnt. But Lu Bu gets to launch his enemies both with and without Multi
4) His R1 is very weak
5) His R1 has control limitations
6) His R1 takes long to execute
7) His R1 costs a lot of musou
With that introduction…it’s easily seen that when fully maximized, Lu Bu is well below average, in this game. He’s not bad, but he’s bad for his name. His FULL C6 is enough to kill a generic, but this move takes so long that it’s slower than characters who need two charge attacks. With C4 and C6 being his strongest and most useful attacks, you can already imagine how long it would take to defeat his evil twin, with double defense. For some reason KOEI allowed Zhang Fei’s C4 to not launch officers far away with Multi equipped. But for Lu Bu’s C4, with Multi, it still launches enemies like 50 feet away. I did think about an Ice weapon for Lu Bu, but this would take him two charge attacks to kill generics, which seriously hurts his offensive speed. So the best would be to use his C4 against double defense Lu Bu in this stage, and hit him up against a wall or something.
I use his R1 twice in this video. I miss the second time (didnt mean to), but its good that I missed, to show how its very limited in massive crowds. It’s easy to aim in the right direction, but what happens, is he’ll grab the first person he meets, so unless the officer is in the lead of a crowd, you wont be able to grab him. And when it did work, against Yan Baihu, you can see how useless the damage is. Awakening won’t even help much.
There are however, two things that Lu Bu is good at, but it doesnt change the fact that Lu Bu is still a low tier character
1) Eliminating hordes of archers
2) Fighting multiple officers
