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

Line 62:
** 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.
* [[Papa Wolf]]: That said, don't expect to keep your limbs attached if you make a point of threatening his daughter's life. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|His love for her is so strong he can't even bring himself to fight her if they meet on the battlefield.]]
* [[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?
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: He's the red to Zhang Liao's blue, lampshaded in one of the stages for Lu Bu's route in DW8.
* [[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]].
