Introduction to Lu Bu
▼Lu Bu is a Fighter in Arena of Valor who can play the Top Lane or Jungle. Lu Bu's strength comes from his passive: after each skill cast, he gains an empowered basic attack that releases a shockwave and boosts his attack range and attack speed, stacking several times.
That is why he needs to weave skills between basic attacks. Red Hare lets him dash up to three times in a row, with the third dash knocking enemies airborne; his second skill fires a shockwave that slows and heals him for each target hit. His ultimate, God of War, instantly cleanses crowd control, restores part of his missing health and boosts his attack, keeping him standing firm in fights.
His health, damage and difficulty are all average, but low crowd control means Lu Bu has to pick the right moment to engage and chain skills into empowered attacks smoothly. This Lu Bu guide includes item builds for both Jungle and the Top Lane, Enchantments, Arcana, summoner spells, combos, skill usage and how to play each phase.

Overlord

Use Skill 3
God of War
sensibly to turn the tide and outplay your opponent, since it lets you cleanse crowd control while granting a burst of power and sustain.
How to Use Lu Bu's Skills Effectively
- Save Skill 3 to use exactly when the enemy locks you down with crowd control, to cleanse it and outplay your opponent.
- This skill deals area damage around you, so use it after diving into the middle of the enemy team to optimize damage.
- After activating Skill 3, continuously combo Skill 1

How to Play Lu Bu in the Early Game
In the early game, take advantage of the wide-area damage from
Lu Bu
‘s kit to clear minions fast, reaching level 4 as soon as possible.
With fairly high damage and decent mobility from the start, actively trade skills with the enemy hero and look for a chance to take them down.
How to Play Lu Bu in the Mid Game
Once you reach level 4 and have Skill 3
God of War
,
Lu Bu
becomes extremely strong in both team fights and duels.
Play proactively, clear minions fast, then rotate to gank, secure objectives, and push turrets with your allies.
Use Skill 1’s
Red Hare
mobility to cross terrain quickly to catch the enemy or retreat from a fight.
Activate Skill 3
God of War
at the right moment to deal with enemy heroes who have hard crowd control, then combo continuously to wreck the enemy formation.
How to Play Lu Bu in the Late Game
By the late game, play a bit slower and more carefully, since the enemy tank is fully built, making it harder for
Lu Bu
to reach their backline.
Don’t rush into a full team fight too soon — keep your distance and poke the enemy with the long-range attacks from passive
Overlord
.
When you feel there’s an opportunity to take down the enemy’s core damage dealer, quickly close in and activate Skill 3
God of War
, then burst them down to secure the fight and the whole match.
