Lu Meng's Maximization

Recommended Weapon:
Medium Weight
Attack / Musou / Fill / Speed / Defense
One thing that makes Lu Meng somewhat unique is lack of useful charge attacks (relative to other characters). This is apparent in Dynasty Warriors games (I haven't played DW6). His charge would not be used often for offense or musou filling if maximization is concerned.
What I'm missing here is Fill, and it's a bit sad that I don't have it, because it would make a pretty noticeable difference in his maximization presentation.

Recommended Items:
Ice Orb
Tiger Amulet / Green Scroll / Wind Scroll / True Way of Musou / Ginseng
Equip the Ice Orb for a chance to deal double damage when in Musou Rage or in red health, with his True Musou.

All right, well Im sick of playing Fan Castle, so I didn't play Lu Meng's Musou Mode. Turns out I have an Edit Character made with Lu Meng's moveset with the correct weapon too.

This fact forces Lu Meng to have to fill musou in a more rigid way, but he should still be considered equal enough to all the other characters with similar offenses to earn a placement in the same tier. His normal attack spamming methods work because of the combination of long reach, wide horizontal coverage, and fast recovery time.

Lu Meng's moveset has parts that are identical to Zhang Liao's, so a lot of people might consider them very similar (and they are), and perhaps even compare the two closely. Lu Meng's normal attack spamming loses it's consistency once he has to face large crowds, because of a higher tendency of wasted musous. This is largely because his attacking speed isn't fast enough. It's crucial to waste his third normal attack because it's a jab. Turning away from the crowd during this jab will allow him to take a step away from the crowd, but his attacking speed isn't fast enough to prevent the biggest of crowds to not surround him. The reason why Zhang Liao is better is because he's able to handle officers in massive crowds because of useful charge attacks. His JC can be used to scatter crowds to isolate officers; his C6 is a very good way to musou fill and save his musou. Sun Jian, Yuan Shao, and other characters with the same offensive capabilities all have more consistent methods of musou filling.

One very nice thing is that when the circumstances work out, Lu Meng can execute a fiery regular musou by first using his C1. With his long musou, the cumulative damage is very impressive....far more damaging than anything Zhang Liao can do. However, officers that can take that much damage before often come in crowd sizes that are far too large for Lu Meng put C1 to good use.

nice descriptiong, still gotta ask wut weapon is that man? maybe the difference is big enough to separate him from swordies, or else it's too big a tier

[DW5chaosmodeguide]

nah if I do that I'll have to demote Gan Ning, but you said you like him up there hehe.

Gan Ning is not as good as Zhang Liao too. But Gan Ning vs Lu Meng....hmmmmm

Hey DW5chaos, if you haven't play DW6. It's not great as the rest of the dw games that I've played.

They mess up the characters' weapons. Not only that, there are missing characters as well. It's up to you though, it has nice graphics but the gameplay really sucks. -_-"

His moveset is boring haha.

i kinda have this different setup for ganning which i dunno works or not, it again involves taking out windscroll:

atk musou fill charge speed

tiger green trueway way ginsen

so it's like ganning with 40 fill and 20 charge but a long true musou that has a better ending. does his fire musou hurt more? i forgot but if say small crowd approaching u can use his c6 big/surrounding crowd u can run or c1, he'll need to be played very well in this case, but then again u can argue consistency -.-
