The final Four Lords hero, 'Lu Bu,' has finally arrived in 'Seven Knights Re:BIRTH' (hereinafter SKRB). After his teaser in the official Thai broadcast and appearing in region 23, he’s hitting the battlefield with the kind of haste you'd expect from the master of the Red Hare. Lu Bu is designed to thrive when paired with other Attack-type heroes, gaining survivability and ramping up damage as the scrap continues. Given his legendary status in the original 'Seven Knights,' we at KookminTree decided to break down what he brings to the table in SKRB.

Q. What kind of hero is Lu Bu?
A. He’s a specialist who leaves marks on every attack and deals bonus damage whenever he lands a Weakness attack.

Lu Bu’s passive, 'Superhuman Strength,' requires you to slot him alongside two other Attack-type heroes—a common team-building constraint for newer SKRB heroes. Fulfill that, and Lu Bu enjoys the 'Blessing' status. He also buffs the entire squad with 'Fearless Dragon,' grants himself a one-time 'Resurrection' (which resets his cooldowns), and peppers all enemies with 'Mark: Wrath of the Sky Piercer' after two basic attacks or one skill usage. We'll dive into the specifics of these buffs and debuffs shortly. It’s worth noting that once you enhance his skills, the damage threshold for 'Blessing' tightens from 40% to 25%, and his resurrection HP jumps from 80% to a full 100%.

His first skill, 'Blood Wind Wall Break,' hits all enemies twice with extra damage on Weakness hits, plus a cheeky 45% chance to stun for 2 turns. Once upgraded, the skill coefficient climbs from 57% to 67%, and the stun chance bumps up to 55%. At 2-transcendence, he adds a 3-turn '29% Defense Reduction' debuff. At 6-transcendence, he grants himself and one back-row ally (prioritized) a 3-turn buff that heals for '40% of physical attack' and boosts 'Defense Ignore efficiency by 10%'.

His second skill, 'Red Hare Gale Strike,' deals two hits of defense-ignoring damage to the entire enemy team, with similar bonus damage conditions to his first skill. If he bags a kill with this, the skill resets with 100% potency. Upgrading it pushes the coefficient from 52% to 60% and bumps the Weakness bonus damage from 27% to 32%. Transcendence bonuses mirror those of the first skill. His basic attacks hit two targets, with damage increasing by 40% for every target fewer than the maximum.

Q. What are Lu Bu's core buffs and debuffs?
A. 'Fearless Dragon' and 'Mark: Wrath of the Sky Piercer' are the ones to watch.

You’ll want to keep Lu Bu’s signature buff in mind for your future SKRB sessions. 'Fearless Dragon' gives your team a nice 31% boost to physical attack, but the catch is a brutal 90% reduction in magic attack. If you’re running Lu Bu, you’re effectively benching all magic-based heroes. If you find your farming runs failing, double-check your team composition—you’ve likely left a magic user in there by mistake.

The 'Mark' stacks up to twice. At two stacks, it deals bonus damage equal to 16% of the target's max HP and grants Lu Bu a 5-turn '28% Weakness Attack Damage' buff. Note that the HP-proportional damage is capped at 350% of Lu Bu's attack power, so plan your gear accordingly. That 'Blessing' threshold change from 40% down to 25% after skill upgrades is exactly why you need to invest in his enhancements.

Q. How should I set up Lu Bu's gear?
A. Make 'Weakness Attack' your top priority.

Lu Bu is all about 'Weakness Attack.' Since both his skills rely on it for bonus damage, you'll want to push that stat as close to 100% as possible. Your first choice for gear sets should be 'Seeker,' followed by 'Assassin.' Seeker’s boost to Weakness hit chance and damage is just too good to ignore. For main options, look for Critical Hit rate and damage. For secondary stats, focus on All Attack (%), Speed, and Weakness Hit chance. Remember, the higher his attack power, the higher the damage ceiling for his marks—so prioritize that raw power.
