Best Troops
Lu Bu doesn’t care about troops type at all so you can throw him into every march setup you want (if you want).
Best Commander Pairing for Lu Bu
Mehmed II is a viable pair as both of them have a similar kit and go well with each other. I’d actually use Mehmet as the primary commander in that pairing (See full build here).
Attila is also a commander that has a ton of debuffs so you can form a good rally supporting march with them. Again, this is not about making a huge impact on their own, it’s just for support (See full build here).
Chandragupta is similar to Attila a legendary commander to pair up with Lu Bu for supporting the rally with their debuffs on the target (See full build here).
Diaochan is a pairing but primarily because of his 3rd skill that gives extra bonus when she is paired with him. Still, in reality that is still not a good march and pairing a weak legendary commander (Lu Bu) with an epic commander to get some bonus stats on a bad skill you should not invest in anyways doesn’t cut it for me as viable so this is here more in terms of nameing it because I have to (See full build here).

Best Talent Tree Builds For Lu Bu
Below you will find the talent tree builds for Lu Bu that make sense when running as the primary commander in any march in Rise of Kingdoms. Please also refer to the description below each talent tree as I explain a general route on how you should spend your talents there + some additional background for each talent build that I very likely will appreciate.

If you want to run Lu Bu as the primary commander (and I can only say there’s very limited occasions where this makes sense), this is the build you want to use to make the most out of him. It’s not a viable or great buildbut that’s based on the fact that Lu Bu just isn’t a strong or viable commander and his role is primarily being a secondary commander in a supportive rally march.
Best Formation + Armaments
Formation and Armaments are supposed to work perfectly with your commanders kit or you will find yourself very quickly in a disadvantage on the battlefield – and with so many variations it can be tough to stay on top. Here is what the works best in today’s meta:
