Hey, I’m Zathong and this guide is about Lu Bu talent tree build in Rise of Kingdoms. Best Lu Bu build guides for Rise of Kingdoms 2023. Learn more about Lu Bu’s skill, background.

Lu Bu has no troop favorites (that’s nice) and also a nice damage skill and additional troop capacity. On the downside, he’s slow and lacks resistance against certain setups so, bottom line, I don’t really recommend him and I don’t see how he will make his way into the relevant circle of commanders in the future.

- Legendary Commander, good for PVP.
- It has a large troop capacity for both open-field and rally.
- It has a great damage skill in AOE that causes a strong debuff on its enemies affected by this skill.
Cons:
- Doesn’t have healing factor.
- He is a slow commander and his resistance against any specific unit or army is not very good.
- It doesn’t have any skills or talents for PVE, it’s intended to be a PVP commander and only attacking cities.
