Lu Bu Item Builds

Key Items
To play Lu Bu as effectively as possible, these things are important. Only very experienced players or those with compelling justifications should deviate from a core item.

Lu Bu gains considerable tankiness from Spear of Longinus, which also comes with a respectable damage bonus and some great cooldown reduction. All of Lu Bu’s attacks as well as those of his physical teammates become more powerful thanks to the armor penetration that its passive provides.

Lu Bu has slightly increased protection from physical harm thanks to the Frost Cape. While keeping him somewhat near to his adversaries, this item gives him respectable quantities of HP and armor numbers.

Typical Item Builds

This build aims to make Lu Bu into a bulky frontliner with the ability to engage in combat and cause havoc for the other side. Each item has attributes that are notably defensive, but their passive abilities change Lu Bu’s damage output and ability to latch onto enemies. Despite the emphasis on durability, he will be very useful when it’s time to deal some damage to the opposing squad.

Here, we prioritize Lu Bu’s destructive potential over his defensive metrics, giving him a greater emphasis on the team’s dps. His standard attacks will be greatly enhanced by Fafnir’s Talon and Omni Arms, while life steal will help him maintain his health. Players will need to be considerably more cautious in their approach since although though he won’t be completely defenseless from opposing assaults when using this build, he will be much squishier than usual.

This build is focused on making the most of his jungle mobility so that he can quickly gank opponents in lanes and keep possession of the Abyssal Dragon.

His go-to jungling item is the Soulreaver, which increases his attack damage by a fixed amount for every jungle minion he kills. Spear of Longinus and Frost Cape both benefit from how frequently Lu Bu casts abilities, with the former tearing through opponents’ armor with each strike and the latter giving Lu Bu a slow each time he does so. Lu Bu is additionally enabled to spam his free abilities by the items’ combined max cooldown speed. Along with the mostly defensive Gaia’s Standard, these items also give him a multitude of defensive stats that prevent him from getting extremely squishy.
