Divine Flying General, Lu Bu

Best "no dupes" combo so far

I got this guy last week, evolved and fed him a noel dragon to get him to 67. I use him, DL Vamp, D. Joker, Hera(switching to hera-is after i get her to a better level), D/D Lillith and friend Ronia and it is just ridiculous

Especially if you put some high RCV devils on the team something like

LuBu
D/L Lillith
FA Lucifer
D/D Hades
Maybe a dark orb changer like Vamp or Persphone

Pulled Lu Bu and Red Sonia from Players Choice....

Team will be:
Leader: Lu Bu (2.5x to Devils, 1 HP)
Sub: Hera-Ur (Red/Dark +orbs)
Sub: Red Sonia (Full board of Red/Dark)
Sub: Persephone (Orb change)
Sub: Devil Ceres (100% bind resist, "Full HP & Clear All Binds" active skill)
Friend: Red Sonia

If every card is level 99 (no + eggs), here are the attack numbers when Red Sonia skill is activated (I assumed 2 dark combos & 2 red combos, each using 15 orbs):
Standard Attack (no Lu Bu Skill, no Hera-Ur skill): 427,786
Devil Enhancement Attack (use Lu Bu skill): 1,069,466
Devil Enhance & Plus Orbs (use Lu Bu and Hera-Ur): 2,994,505

These numbers get even bigger when you begin to include the Row Enhances (3 Dark Enhance, 2 Red Enhance), but a lot of that attack boost is dependent upon how you align those 15 orbs (red or dark) on the board, and that will complicate the calculations. The above numbers are rough baselines to use...

Have you used him with amon as a leader? Talk about amazing!!!

How'd you get him? These are in the REM already?

He/she probably plays the JP version.
English version only just got them today I think.

Just pulled him, just found I had enough to put a similar deck together.

DD Lilith
DL hades
DW d.joker
Vamp (any devil dark orb changer)
And friend red Sonia...

Its pretty sick... Recovery using his active has been same turn too, which surprised me.

Just gotta put a king baddie as a sub too

ended up forming basically the same team as you. Ceres for bind remove or a panic button after lu bu's active. since I am not lucky enough to have a red sonia, I'm waiting for Haku's devil ulti instead. great sustain and great output

I'm about to get the evo..so after I have him..can I use him as a leader, and if use him I can get the 2.5 attack, I was wondering, if I use king baddie, will I get that extra? Total of 5.5 ATK? That'll be awesome.if works of cours and yes, using Sonya from my helper, what do you think?

Not mentioning his 3ATK as a leadrr..that'll be..8.5x, right? Right?

No, the actives don't stack like that, however rsonia friend leader + your lubu leader = 7.5x attack, plus the random 2.5 or 3x spike from lubu active skill or king baddie active skill...

does it works the same way with LU BU? or do i really need divine flying?

I use a Lu bu flying general, ult Loki, max skilled awoken Hera is, ronia, haku with a ronia friend everyone max skilled except Loki and lu bu. everyone is max awoken and friend plus 297. I got lucky and during lu bu Godfest I pulled three of him. Haven't lost yet with this team.

I'm not sure how much need there is. You're gimping your team by dropping your stats, and you still have the one turn spike potential from Lu Bu's x2.5 devil boost. I'd rather have some kind of versatility or something with good stats for a more stable team.

I know right. I just sent a suggestion saying so.

Or maybe.......lubu is getting an ultimate. Lets riot

Its been announced. LINK:https://www.facebook.com/PuzzleAndDragonsEurope

ult evo announced, no riot

"CAN ANYONE PROVIDE ME WITH A DECENT CHALLENGE?!"
"CAN ANYONE PROVIDE ME WITH A DECENT CHALLENGE?!"
"CAN ANYONE PROVIDE ME WITH A DECENT CHALLENGE?!"

Personally I'm bummed out that they didn't do the Five Tiger Generals of Shu as a series.

*it would've worked: Guan Yu: Fire, Zhang Fei: Dark, Zhao Yun: Light, Ma Chao: Wood, Huang Zhong: Water.

Sun Shangxiang would be Water-sub-Wood...

As to Lu Bu himself...Might I suggest bringing Evil Ceres along for the ride? Shower of Healing will probably help to deal with the HP loss from Peerless Hammer Crush (Lu Bu's base Recovery of 0 makes things dicier than with Seraph Lucifer), and she's a Devil, so she'll get the attack increase as well.

I think we will see Zhao Yun.. maybe Ma Chao. they have a HUGE list to draw from so it shall be good to see who all gets chosen.

Man YES x1,000,000 to your Five Tiger Generals point and the "HUGE list" fact as well. I can easily picture it: Sima Yi: Dark with blue sub element as his ulti, Zhuge Liang: Light with green sub element as his ulti...maaan I hope they really consider expanding on these guys!.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if Ma Chao's likely to pop up in the next iteration. My guesses for the next set:

--Fire: Xiahou Dun
--Water: Lu Xun (sub-Fire, and not because of Wei sympathies) or Zhou Yu
--Wood: Zhang Fei
--Light: Diaochan (sub-Dark. And yes, I'm aware she's a completely fictitious character.)
--Dark: Sima Yi (sub-Fire)

You called it, zhuge was just released ^.-

Well, you were right about Guan Yu, half right about Zhao Yun and now GungHo needs to introduce the last two. lol

Incorrect. Ares has more than 2000 attack before he UEvos into an attacker. I'd also mention the Wood and Water Dark Skydragons, but they didn't come into the game until way after this comment.

We *want* ultimte evo Lubu. Hes fine the ay he is.

and we just got him

20930 attack?! (I know, i forgot to add his devil att multiplier. Sumimasen!)

Just came out in jp

Link to this announcement?

THIS LOOK INTERESTINGS

^i shall call this team BLACK DEVIL RAINBOW HELL

The recovery issue disappears when you put some subs with good rcv and a friend leader with rcv boost (Luci, Ronia...)

When you're in a dungeon where they hit for 20,000..which prevents that? Recovery or killing it first

That's why ronia is so cool... Double rcv to stall through the dungeon if you want, and dark/red board+lu bu to obliterate the 20000 hitting boss.
Of course, you can also use a luci friend leader to double your mono-dark team hp to tank the 20000 hit and deliver a MS in return.

Oh I didn't say the boss. There are descends where the "mini" boss pack just a mean punch and having to use a sonia skill to beat it is such a waste when you can just as easily pop vampy and make combos...now obviously if that's not enough then it's not the right team to attempt it...and yes we all love luci (yes I occasionally use mine) but he's a grind leader and his skill is only good when you have multiple gravities. If not then you most likely hit him in the danger zone and he's gonna hit for way more damage and now you're stuck with a measly multiplier to try and finish the job (sure you can use more skills) but then what happens next round with no luci (30+ cooldown) sonia (15+ at best)....no different than valk teams, but people seem to understand perfectly how that works and they have like half the hp...oh yeah because they don't take hits lol if you want to hit and recover, dual ronia. If you want permanent ×9, lu bu. I just don't see where mixing leaders is needed unless no dupes maybe

Absolutely. I am talking about a team for normal dungeons. Descends are, in general, a different matter.

Then yes I agree sir...actually just about any sort of ronia devil team can beat everything up to seaway and celestial before it gets complicated. It's what I used to pave the way. Ronia, hera-ur, devil luci, vampy and baddie (before I got lu bu and shiva). I beat seaway once with one stone while trying to get tamadra odin (didn't drop of course) and I don't have the b@lls to attempt celestial yet

Yeah... I'm not lucky enough to own a Ronia, so have to rely on friends, and no dubbies with her.
So since i can't blast everything away, I'm about to grind down starlight last stage with my ult siren+ult grodin friend, once I'm certain that their combined auto recoveries will fully heal up zeus hits. Will see what happens in seaway...

Just occurred to me... I don't have any DFG Lu Bu friend fully awoken and nearly maxed to pair with mine. Do you think that such a team could clear king of the gods with ease?

Oh deud you won't be able to zombie through seaway unfortunately...it's a dual boss and again unfortunately the hard hitting one is on the right. I'm 1 for 5 trying it

Oh, no... No thoughts of zombie teams. Maybe a Gr Odin resist build, but maye not that either.

Well I used vamp and stored up hearts to kill fl 8, Persephone and baddie for fl 9 and ronia lu bu for Zeus

Yeah, any news about an ult evo for The General??

This series is pretty new and not even the jap 2.0 have gotten all ults so it's gonna be a while.

sweet! anyone know what the ult evo materials will be yet? I have develits and jewels of darkness waiting for use!!

Blame this the stories have many alterations, I got confused.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxodaq1djbI

...That's Guan Yu...

EDIT: The original version of the comment referred to Lu Bu being the god of war...

For future reference turn based type enhancements never stack.

Actually his active skill would most definitely attack with his leader skill

If you're running dual luci, do you really want a third reduce to 1 hp ability on a guy that comes with zero rcv? His skill is lackluster with them anyway as a 2.5 multiplier by itself isn't stellar.

In a Ronia team, you have to use her ability for the burst, getting rid of your chance to recoup the lost hp. Sure, in most cases you'll get the ohko, but if you don't, you won't be able to survive a hit. The rcv multiplier doesn't matter if there aren't any heart orbs.

Not really true. Depends on your team set up. If you're leading dual Seraph of Dawn, the 4x RCV makes healing back up very easy. If you're running dual Red Sonia, the 6.25x RCV makes healing up even easier. If you're running 1 LuBu/Sonia or SoD then you get 2 or 2.5x RCV which might be enough to get you back up.

Simple, use Drawn Joker!

If you're running double Luci, you're not really playing for o e thing and secondly why would you even care about a small burst when you're just mindlessly grinding?

Definitely Lu Bu if you have good devils on your team

Loki is an almost perfect sub for lubu

Depends on the rest of your team.

Assuming you're just trading Lu Bu for King Baddie as a sub on an otherwise-identical team, at max lvl, 0 +eggs, you lose total attack if the average attack of the 5 other monsters on your team >1078. Same swap except both with 99 +eggs in attack, you lose total attack if the average attack of the 5 other monsters on your team >979.

Thus: no, Lu Bu's higher attack will likely not make up for the decrease in multiplier.

What about the extra row enhancement? His best use will be on mono-dark devil row enhancement teams, so if u popped his active your going for rows so you'll have to factor that in also.

that is not only more situational as you have to complete a row of 6 for it work at all and its a boost of only 10% instead of king baddie's 50% extra

that being said at the upper end king baddie will be better when you start throwing in a huge combo and multipliers like satan or anubis however at lower combo and multiplier lu bu will be more effective due to his powerful attack and skill damage

It's actually 99 more than Ares, since this is not even UEvos

i beat twinlits first time with my 2 ronias and friend lu bu and dark subs .. i also pulled him on a 1 pull godfest today ... sooo lucky... now i can use him 2 sonias and a sonia friend ... KILLER

Drop Hamahime for almost anything else. Make a king baddie for when you need to burst 2 floors in a row. Hera-Ur is expensive but better than Cerberus for this setup and gives you a bit more fire balance for when RSonia gives lots of fire instead of dark. Vamp is really good when max skilled. Lilith is good but her poison is situational and she mostly brings recovery to the table. I'd use her for when you have a Lu Bu or Hera Ur friend but she isn't really needed when you use RSonia as a friend.

Lu Bu killed Chuck Norris during training.

Apparently, there's a few other officers of the Three Kingdoms era who could possibly give Lu Bu a run for his money. Zhang Liao, Ding Feng, Guo Huai, and possibly Deng Ai come to mind. (Don't let the Dynasty Warriors designs get in the way; look at their historical records instead.)

CHUCK NORRIS IS LUBU REINCARNATED!

Smart! Have yet to get my hands on a leader switch. sigh.

My Lu Bu devil team was very dark heavy too, I use my Belial and Baal for a small boost on light and fire damage, and swap in my marine rider when needed for water and wood damage, since I only recently realized he was devil type, depending on the dungeon. And red Sonia friend Leader.

That's pretty much what I've been doing, but haven't pulled a Belial yet, got him twice on my IOS ( iPhone) but not on my android, same with red Sonia no luck getting her. Thanks for the reply, gonna have to keep at it until I get some better devil's. Been waiting for Baal to drop or get pulled from REM. No luck on that front either. Sometimes I think gungho is watching and laughing at me. :\

Team I use is ronia, lu, devil luci, shiva, dark vamp and ronia...it's my main descend destroyer. Working on getting the new antikythera for basically a 5× baddie

I don't think it's changed... I didn't pay attention when using it recently however.

Edit: No it has not changed at all. I can confirm it.

What I like to do is I run a devil team like this:
Leader: Lu Bu
Subs: Awoken Hera
Minerva (sub dark)
Jester Dragon, Drawn Joker
Vampire (sub blue)
friend: lucie, sonia etc.
I stock up on light/heal orbs, use hera, then minerva, if I have a Lucifer friend then use it (oddly enough lu bu's skill still works at 1HP, that or a glitch in my game), then continue using the rest of my skills, hoping to finish off the boss.

It's even better if instead of Minerva you replace it with Mystic Pentad Dragon, Folklore. So end game scenario looks like (assuming a Sonia friend) Folklore switch's out with Lu Bu, Lu Bu skill, and finishing off with Sonia, (I'm considering putting hera-ur in) for a total of a 31.25x attack

If you have a team of dark devils, mildly leveled up and you are using a friend leader that also boosts devil attack, with some planned orb changing you can pretty much be sure that you will obliterate any boss with lu bu's skill. My team looks like this:

Lead: DFG, Lu Bu
- Persephone (changes light and heal to dark)
- Ult. Siren (for rcv and changing red to heal, a gift to persephone. Sometimes I replace her with Kurone feline of the night, for the dark att.)
- Awaken Hera (Gravity is always nice, but if you don't have her put some other leveled devil, better dark. I used for a while a helldark demon back when i had nothing better)
- Wild spot where u can put whatever fits the dungeon you are going in. Luci fits nice here, also loki, devil Neptune, some dark devil dragon, Sub-dark Minerva, Ronia...

Friends:
Ronia, for attk and rcv boost (plus a killer red/dark board)
Luci, when I want more hp and less damage output (and ms, of course)
Loki, similar to ronia
Batman+Claw, low stats but nice double hp and attk
And double Lu bu, of course, when you just want to destroy everything asap.

Remember that you can also throw in a leveled king baddie. You will have decent stats (specially with the leaders multipliers) and an extra boost, stronger than Lu Bu's and less risky. With him in the team and some orb changers, you will have a double boost that will get you through all the normal dungeons up to clearing Junos island blasting sub-bosses with king baddie and bosses with lu bu.

Thanks for the response!

I'm running Temptress Wicked Lady, Helldark Blood Demon, and Blazing Ice ogre as devil subs. I also have a dark golem MKII for HP (and also because I haven't found other devil sub yet...not blessed enough to get DJ or other devil gods).

What I'm facing is that I don't have enough RCV and HP. Unless I choose a lucifer friend, I pretty much can't heal fast enough to last till boss battle, especially if I run double Lu Bu.

I also notice that a lot of devils have really low RCV or HP. How do devil teams effectively overcome that?

Thats why I have Ult. Siren or Kurone in my team, none of them devils (lets hope for a Kurone devil ult evo!)

In your case, the problem with the Golem and the ogres is not that they are devils but that they are physical. This means crappy rcv. Same problem with attacker devils (helldark and such). So you need healers and/or devils with some other tipe (ideally a devil/healer). Evolved Lilith is a good non rem option. Persephone is not a healer but has decent rcv. You will get a Jester dragon eventually, when the dungeon comes around or from the pal machine. It provides some rcv and hearts.

Friends are very important too. Look for ronias, ult persephones, Liliths... And for another approach on the hp issue in normal dungeons, look also for Green Odin friends.

I see. Thanks! Yea I've been farming Twin Temple Diana for a succubus every time it has 1.5x drop. Tried pal egg too but no luck yet :( will keep trying.

Yeah... Keep trying. Better chances in The Witches'ball probably. Got mine in Banquet of temptation, but I guess you are not there yet. Good luck!

Put a low HP multiplyer skill on your team! I pair my Lu Bu skill with Vrirtra's low Hp/High attack and the pair usually do enough damage to knock down most enemies. Have auto recover on your team as well if you're worried about not killing with the skill combo, like Messenger of god Ult or Amaratsu.

Just one at the time

Well you use lu bu's active the same way as you would use baddie's active, and healing up should be no problem if you have a ronia friend.

Always Lu Bu.
Compare stats and awakenings...

Loki's active won't stack with Lu Bu's. No buff damage type actives will. If anything get rid of Devil Ceres for FAL since he has better color typing and RCV shouldn't be a problem if you team up with a Ronia friend anyway.

yes

Pair him with a friend Ronia for a very powerful team. Pandora is good but I rather have Lu Bu's permanent x3 attack (and his killer stats and x2.5 boost) than her conditional x4 (or x3).

I'm rank 260 and I mainly run a Lubu/Ronia dark-red devil team. I use it to farm KoG, devilits, gold keepers and everything else, along with many descents. A dual color team gives you a lot of control and possibilities while minimizing orb trolling problems. Lubu boosts attk and hp while Ronia boosts attk and rev. Perfect couple.

As for your subs:
Persephone has a permanent spot in my team. Excellent stats, much needed rcv, great orb changing and a devil (her ult evo)
Drawn Joker is useful and his stats have been improved.
Darkseid's skill is situational but good to have and he has good stats.
Ult vamp is excellent.
Berseker z seems a good orb changer too.


If you are an IAP player, you'll keep getting good devils. Ronia as a sub is a must for a team like that. Also good are Belial, Loki and Gryps rider, for instance.

Some good farmable monsters that fit well are Hera, Hera-Ur, Hadar, Satan or Beelzebub.

Also, having a pool of good dark att. monsters allows you to have a side Luci team, which is certainly useful sometimes.

I wouldn't include Amon and other off-color subs as permanents, but it is good to have them for specific dungeons.

Yep.

They did. Also another row and skill boost.

Gung Ho really likes Lu Bu...

Meanwhile Cao Cao is crying in a corner.

Lubu is a normal god, he is always exists in rem, but at a normal rate.

Oh woops! I had no idea that you could roll gods without a godfest! My bad!

It's really only a few particular gods that only can be attained during a Godfest--Odin, Metatron, Sonia (not that I have any idea which mythos she's from...), and Guan Yu.

I am running him as my primary lead right now. A high level Ronia friend is a must. My team thus far is:

Lu Bu / King Baddie / D/W Vamp / Cerberus GoH / Echidna / Ronia (friend)

I am in the process of getting Lilith leveled up to add into the rotation of viable subs (once she gets here devil sub-type).

I honestly don't find RCV to be an issue. At least in the normal dungeons. I'm currently working my way through T6 normals (almost done with Jupiter, City in the Sky). Technical dungeons get a bit more tricky because it's harder to stall, but still quite manageable. I'm currently at Hill of Iris's Rainbow.

Yes, I do agree that the 10x attack is pretty useless, but I don't see why a Lu Bu/Sonia team can't clear most (if not all) dungeons without the devil boost. Double Ronia teams (2.5x2.5=6.25) sometimes go without any enhancer. Lu Bu's ATK multiplier is even higher than Sonia (3.0x2.5=7.5) so therefore a devil boost is most likely going to KO the enemy. And if you're unsure about whether your team can 1hit-KO the boss, there should be a delay on your team regardless of whether it will benefit from your leader skill. That way, you will have 1-5 extra turns to kill or heal up to tank hits from it.

I have very little experience using a Lu Bu (only rolled him in my rank 70 Japanese account a few days ago), but my Lu Bu team will hopefully look a little like this:
Lu Bu/Loki/Persephone/?/?/Ronia
? is 2 of: Byakko, Echidna, Batman, Beelzebub (bye RCV), Max Skill Hades, etc.

On another note: Ultimate Beelzebub x Sonia seems to be a pretty good match too.
Lu Bu vs Beelzebub? What do you think?

One strategy you can use him for is to have him as a sub with an hp conditional leader. Take dmeta for instance. Enemy heals you to full then attacks with all its fury on the next turn? You're kind of boned. If you fire off Lu bu's active, you fall back down within range, and kill the enemy.

As a leader, his active might be less useful... but can still be combo'd with evil ceres or some other mob with healing power. At any rate, he's always useful as a boost on the last floor (when a boss might just kill you anyway) moreso than king baddie usually, especially if his stats are helping you REACH that final floor.
