Line 43:
* [[Final Boss]] - In the first game and in ''Strikeforce''
** Inverted in his final stage in ''6'', where the final bosses are ''almost the entire cast'' other than Diao Chan and Zhang Liao.
** And again in DW8, where the Hypothetical route has everyone who was alive who had the slightest reason to want Lu Bu dead all gunning for him at once.
* [[Flanderization]] - Goes from [[Memetic Badass]] in DW3 to almost literally summoning the powers of Hell itself in ''Strikeforce''.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: His card in ''Empires'' is "The One and Only," and its benefit is to power up Lu Bu even further. Many other characters' cards benefit your entire kingdom or army in some way, but Lu Bu's improves only himself, which fits in with his [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]] and general behavior in real life.
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
** in 4 its mainly thanks to how he is incapable of abusing the game's mechanic, thanks to his Slow Charge 5 combined with the way that shockwave attacks(to clarify it is really his Charge 3 that makes Lu Bu broken, but it is weak in this game) is programmed to be unable to kill even peons and Lu Bu only have 4 Item slots turns him into a pretty mediocre character even by normal standards.
** Somewhat inverted in 7. Where Lu Bu's halberd had long range, impressive speed, and unmatched power in all games prior, now ''anyone'' can hold the Halberd. Even if they're bad at it, just slap on a "Halberd Master" seal and they're as good as him. Not to mention that neither of his musou attacks are too impressive compared to others. So the act of giving Lu Bu's halberd to your favorite character potentially makes '''everyone''' a gamebreaker, or Lu Bu ''less'' of a gamebreaker...
*** However he's the only character in the game that can stack 3x synergy, giving him the highest attack power in the game. His C6 combo will kill anything in the game, even on chaos.
** Due to how the [[Warriors Orochi]] games blended game mechanics from [[Dynasty Warriors]] and [[Samurai Warriors]], everyone got a mild to moderate nerfing to prevent game imbalance, which unfortunately robbed Lu Bu of most of his unstoppableness. He's still a very powerful character and can be nightmarish to fight, with only Orochi being harder, but he's not the same god slaying badass he was in the main DW games.
* [[Heartbroken Badass]] - A dead Diao Chan will quickly lead to a painful period of mourning. [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|Painful for his enemies, that is.]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 64 ⟶ 66:
* [[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 ZhouZhuo 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.
Line 105 ⟶ 107:
** [[Whip It Good]]
* [[Honey Trap]] - She sows mistrust between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]] - Beginning with DW6, she receives a [[Bare Your Midriff|more revealing outfit]] of [[Stripperific]] proportions. 7 makes this go [[Up to Eleven]] with more [[Stripperiffic]] outfit and longer, visible hair (rather than tied to smaller buns), 8 goes even farther, with a dress that is borderline [[Vapor Wear]].
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] - With both Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.
* [[Love At First Sight]] - Both Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo fall in love with her the first time they see her. Any man that sees her also seems to fall in love with her.
* [[Manipulative Bitch]] - In DW6, though not so much of a bitch.
* [[Morality Pet]] - To Lu Bu.
* [[Petal Power]] - Her Musou, Charge, and EX attacks in 7 and 8.
* [[Reluctant Warrior]] - On a good day.
* [[The Starscream]] - In DW6: Empires, if you decide to ascend the throne as a ruler and add her into your ranks, she ''will'' turn against you and take the majority of your officers with her.
