divine flying general, lu bu

its happening!

I did exactly the same thing... so sad

An ultimate without a sub element? Now that would be scary

He is better than king baddie,that alone is enough.

For now, yes. But we've all seen how insane Liu Bei's UEVO is, so Lu Bu's will probably also definitively outclass this version by a lot.

After seeing all these downvotes and forgetting what my first comment exactly was (I know I said that the original Lu Bu's awakenings weren't great cause he only had 50% bind proof as well as only one row enhance and one skill boost which I thought wasn't too special, especially since many of his REM devil counterparts had more favorable awakening skills) I've decided to look at this guy and give you a better answer to the original question. No, he's not a bad alternative to his REM version. In fact he's actually a great card that's only "weakness" would be his awakening skills, much like all these mini versions. He's stats don't really take a hit like the other minis especially since his attack is so high for a "free" monster. If I rolled this guy when the machine was around, I would probably end up using him as a sub once the original one's ult evo came out because of his attack and useful active. Sorry about the past negativity, I was a little but hurt getting down voted for a comment that genuinely wasn't stupid, trolling, or malecious; unlike a lot of downvoted comments I regularly see on this site lol.

*lu bu

I finally made a devil with this lol.....

Awakenings make or break cards nowadays, sure lubu really only has the 1 row and maybe i guess the skill boost so this mini isn't so bad.....but the others are definitely so far apart because they had superior awakenings

I wouldn't mind rolling if I was going for a specific monster. They can always be skill up fodder.

Not even close man. Skill boost, bind res, row enhance, and 690 hp is a huge difference when using him in a descend. So please don't minimize the greatness of lu bu. This by far the best of the mini series I'll give him that. Just no where near as effective as the REAL one.

well, maybe not mini LGL. he sucks sooo bad compared to his big version.

There's a definite art style difference between these "mini" cards and the chibis from the Christmas REM. I think that's what Gungho was going for when they named them differently.

Is this in America? Will we get to roll these mini three kingdoms for 1000 pal pts?

It was announced for Europe, so there's a great chance! :3

Is he really better than King Baddie though?

Let's crunch some very basic, soft numbers... say you have a Ronia team with King Baddie, 18,000 hp, 5,000 fire attack, 5,000 dark attack and each team member doing an average 800,000 damage on a full board change + enhance + multiplier combo.

lu bu offers an extra 1000 hp over King Baddie. That's a 5.3% overall hp increase.

lu bu offers an extra 1000 attack over King Baddie. That's a 9.1% attack increase by stats.

lu bu has a 0.5% lower multiplier than King Baddie. This amounts to a 16.7% multiplied attack loss.

Taking both lu bu's attack increase and his multiplied attack loss into account, some basic math shows a spike damage loss of about 9.1%.

tl;dr - lu bu offers 5% more hp than King Baddie. Basic attacks will actually be around 9% stronger on average, but spike damage after active skills goes down by about 9%.

I'd say it's situational who is better. Need a little extra attack to one-shot the boss? Go with Baddie. Need more help getting through the trash floors? Go with mini lu bu.

Big Lu Bu's extra dark row enhance makes him a contender to replace King Baddie in all circumstances, however I don't think you can say the same about mini lu bu.

I don't think comparing stat gains to a generic team stat total is the right way to approach this, since everyone's stat totals will be different.

Comparing max level baddie to lu bu, lu bu is enormously better in stats, at almost 3x attack and 2x hp. I think the tradeoff for slightly lower final burst is well worth having a super-hard hitting 2k attacker instead of king baddie's 700 dark attack. Plenty of descends have "DPS checks" where you have to kill a monster on the first floor before it one shots you in x turns. Lu Bu wins in those situations, and that's a big enough reason to use him instead of k.Baddie

Using sample team stat totals was simply a means by which to do some math. Obviously everybody's team will have slightly different numbers, but that's irrelevant. The findings from the math are consistent across most typical Ronia/Ronia team builds, regardless of minor differences in stats.

Baddie gets 2 +100 attack awakenings putting him at 946 attack, so mini lu bu being "almost 3x [baddie's] attack" is wrong - it's really only a 2x attack difference.

Aside from that, we're saying the same thing - mini lu bu is better at clearing tough trash floors and King Baddie is better at boss burst.

I'd also love to see the illustrators of these and the Christmas (also unlisted) minis given credit. Any of our super-translators up to the challenge of digging this information up? (Many thanks to the PDX translators' efforts, whether yea or nay on this specific request!)

No it doesn't. The horde of mini haku I got before skilled up my adult haku. Same skill. Not same name.

probably no. Need same name.

The monster need to be identical and maxed level for the GUARANTEED skill up. Only the skill name needs to be the same for the chance upon feeding.

Im gonna do the coin dungeon for the skill ups soon,i fed my only shadron it got a skill up

These mini gods came from a limited-time PAL egg machine.

But these cost 1000 Pal Points, not stones. Great deal if you ask me.

Considering the best card I have recieved in the last 4 Godfests (+50 stones) is rei serius I welcome the chance to spend pal points and get any of these lesser Chinese gods. Better than most of my monsters and I'm at level 99.

fun fact. I got him 3 times. XD
