In the Three Kingdoms Fantasy Continent 2: Ballad of the Hawk, Liu Bei is undoubtedly a frequent guest in many players' lineups. As the healer of Shu, he not only has an impressive healing capacity but also forms a synergy with Guan Yu to enhance basic attack output. In the introduction to Liu Bei's lineup in Three Kingdoms Fantasy Continent 2: Ballad of the Hawk, it's clear that when players place him in their team, he usually becomes an indispensable auxiliary core. Below, you can see his effect in the lineup.
Liu Bei, known for his benevolence as the ruler of Shu Han, though named as an auxiliary, still possesses very useful group healing skills. By consuming 94% of his own attack power, he brings hope to all allies. Every time the enemy's turn ends, Liu Bei's healing power can be triggered, providing 30% of the releaser's attack power as life recovery, stackable up to five times. After reaching five stars, the healing value from the people's heart effect increases even more, gaining a 40% healing bonus at this point.
When mentioning Liu Bei, one cannot ignore the effect of the Peach Garden Oath bond. When Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei are in the same lineup, if one of them unfortunately falls, the surviving two will instantly gain a 10% increase in attack power and a 50% boost in action bar. The Heroes' Struggle bond aligns Liu Bei with Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and other warlords, forming a cross-faction alliance. In this alliance, for every additional related general, there is a 2% simultaneous increase in damage and defense for one's own side.
As for the Wu-Shu Alliance bond, it is based on the deep affection between Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang in the original story. When these two generals from different factions join hands on the battlefield, and both Wu and Shu send out three tiger generals, their buffs and debuffs each increase by 15%. So, this seemingly ordinary auxiliary general actually possesses many lineup enhancement abilities. In later stages of team adjustments, finding suitable partners among bonded characters is also a skill in composing lineups.
When Liu Bei forms a lineup with the five mighty generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, and Jian Shuo, they can jointly activate the Shu faction aura, granting a 25% increase in damage and reduction. To maximize the power of this lineup, the job selection for each general is crucial. Guan Yu's reassignment can be as a Harvester, gaining a kill-and-act-again mechanism, which, combined with his single-target burst characteristic, allows him to immediately act again upon successfully killing a target, achieving a terrifying effect of continuous bursts.
Zhang He can be reassigned as a Scout, allowing him to cast his ultimate before Guan Yu, not only triggering his innate 25% reduction in damage taken but also gaining an additional 30% reduction in damage taken from the Scout profession. The stacking of these two reductions significantly boosts Guan Yu's damage output, making each of his attacks lethal. Zhang Fei can be reassigned as a Berserker, converting 50% of his defense into attack, making him both durable and offensive on the battlefield. Liu Bei, on the other hand, can be reassigned as a General, using his basic attack to invite the main DPS for an extra attack, not only enhancing the team's offensive capabilities but also further strengthening the synergy with Guan Yu.
Zhao Yun can be reassigned as a Striker, increasing his sequence in the first few rounds, allowing him to quickly follow up with attacks. It is recommended that Jian Shuo be reassigned as a Leader, providing a 15% increase and reduction in damage for the entire team. In terms of equipment, careful matching is also required. It is recommended that Guan Yu carry the "Thunder Listening at Pass Mountain," so that after his ultimate causes damage, it can inflict an additional 40% derivative damage, effectively multiplying the final output by 1.4. For Zhang He, it is suggested to carry the "Heart of Determination," obtaining a third layer of armor-breaking effect beyond talent and profession, making enemies even more vulnerable against Guan Yu.
It is recommended that Zhang Fei carry the "Golden Voice Shocking Jade," utilizing his initial high speed of 104 to cast his ultimate first, causing a push effect on the entire enemy team and reducing their damage increase by up to 70%. With such equipment combinations, in PVP battles, as long as the attribute gap between players is small and the health cap is not too high, the instant-kill effect of Guan Yu in the lineup becomes easier to trigger. Once the snowball effect starts, it is difficult for opponents to reverse the situation. In PVE battles, facing single BOSS levels, Zhang He's triple armor-breaking mechanism can greatly reduce the BOSS's damage reduction, allowing Guan Yu to deal extremely high damage.
This concludes the introduction to Liu Bei's lineup in Three Kingdoms Fantasy Continent 2: Ballad of the Hawk. The lineup recommended today is definitely effective. However, it should be noted that due to the lack of AOE (Area of Effect) skills, it may struggle in scenarios with large numbers of enemies. Although Liu Bei's healing is considerable, in such situations, his advantages cannot be fully utilized, which is a weakness to be aware of in the lineup.
