Dynasty Warriors/Characters/The Forces of Lu Bu: Difference between revisions

Line 90:
{{quote| "Betrayal? No... That man is being true to himself".}}
* [[Cool Horse]] - Red Hare
** [[Hellish Horse]] - Becomes borderline demonic in DW7, complete with a crimson red eyes, a mane and tail of fire, continued in 8.
* [[Dan Woren]] - DW4
* [[The Dragon]]/[[The Brute]]
Line 107:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]] - In all games up to DW5, he can run as fast as most generic horses and has plenty of attacks possessing high power.
* [[Memetic Mutation]] - '''DON'T PURSUE LU BU'''
** [[Ascended Meme]] - An achievement/tropytrophy in the 7th game: "Okay, you can pursue Lu Bu."
*** One character also spouts the very same line in the Wei campaign.
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] - In some games, he kills Dong Zhuo for the sake of Diao Chan.
Line 114:
** As stated in gamebreaker, since ''anyone'' in 7 can have his weapon and moveset, all that makes him different are 2 powerful but uncontrollable musou attacks, as well as an EX grapple move. If you prefer anyone else's musou or EX attacks, it's hard to argue about what makes him so special in 7.
** However, as stated above in gamebreaker, he's the only character that can stack 3x synergy, giving him the highest attack power in the game. Equip 2 halberds, one preferably the black dragon halberd, then use his switch attack and proceed to murder all in your path at super speed.
* [[Overprotective Dad]]: Mild version. Worries about his daughter's safety to the point of telling Zhang Liao to make sure she's safe in his canon route in DW8, but knows she's badass enough to take care of herself otherwise.
* [[Pet the Dog]] - His love and devotion for Diao Chan.
** He gets his own route with two paths in DW8, and in the canon route, {{spoiler|he tells his daughter to flee instead of getting herself killed trying to save him from being executed by Cao Cao}}, and in the hypothetical route, everyone expects him to murder the emperor and be a Dong Zhou style tyrant. Instead, {{spoiler|he bloodlessly deposes the emperor after giving him a spot on [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]], is willing to let Chen Gong be his [[The Man Behind The Man]] instead of trying to kill him for being overambitious, and his ending has him declare as emperor the chaos is over and he will personally put down anyone who wants to sink the land into turmoil again.}}
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: Seriously, who's dumb enough to deny this?
* [[Self-Made Orphan]] - Kills both of his adopted fathers (though the first isn't mentioned or seen in ''Dynasty Warriors'' until DW8). Backfires {{spoiler|fatally}} when {{spoiler|he offers his service after his defeat at Xiapi}}, as {{spoiler|Cao Cao}} almost certainly realized this. (In the novel, Liu Bei pointed it out.)
* [[SNK Boss]] - Subverted: he's not generally a boss character in any of the games beyond the first one, but when he's encountered at Hu Lao Gate (as opposed to later stages) as an enemy officer he's typically rendered twice as stronger than anyone else on the field, including the actual stage boss, Dong Zhuo. At Xiapi he's actually toned down out of necessity, being the stage boss and therefore having to be defeated... unless you [[Berserk Button|defeat Diao Chan first]].
* [[The Starscream]] - If Lu Bu is serving under your command, start making funeral arrangements.
** This however is {{spoiler|what gets him executed after his defeat by Cao Cao at Xiapi}}, though {{spoiler|Cao Cao}} doesn't actually mention this.
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]] - So much so that "Lu Bu's Theme" is effectively the ''de facto'' theme to the series.
* [[Turns Red]]: If you kill Diao Chan in his presence, he gets '''PISSED''' and becomes twice as strong, twice as fast, and nigh-invulnerable.
