Crusade & Arena General Purpose Team

The following team is universal for crusades or arenas, no matter what kind of enemies you face.You can't go wrong with this team.

Frontline: Lu Bu (Warlords・Infantry)Zhao Yun (Shu・Infantry)

Backline: Diao Chan (Warlords・Cavalry)Hua Tuo (Warlords・Archery)Liu Bei (Shu・Archery)

Crusade & Arena General Purpose Team

This combination boasts a 20% damage bonus for the Warlords faction. Lu Bu, as a top-tier frontline infantry, pairs perfectly with Diao Chan, whose cavalry can stun and enchant enemies. In the backline, Hua Tuo provides essential healing and sustainability. The dual archers, Liu Bei and Hua Tuo, deliver strong AOE damage.

Warlords Faction Teams

The Warlords Faction Teams are the most unmissable side of the game. The strongest team pairing so far has come from the Warlords Faction Teams.

Awakened Lu Bu Core Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Lu Bu (Infantry) + Awakened Hua Tuo (Archery) + Diao Chan (Cavalry) + Cao Cao (Cavalry) + Liu Bei (Archery)

Warlords Faction Teams

The dual-core synergy boosts Lu Bu's infantry offense and defense by 71.41% post-awakening. Combined with Hua Tuo's ability to convert critical injuries to minor ones, it forms an almost invincible "immortal warrior" duo.

The control chain includes Diao Chan's enchantment and Cao Cao's taunt to draw enemy fire, while Liu Bei provides attack buffs and AOE damage, ensuring a safe output environment for Lu Bu.

Applicable Scenarios:

All scenarios, especially suitable for Arena, Rally Battle, Advanced Crusade.

Hua Tuo Support Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Lu Bu (Infantry) + Awakened Hua Tuo (Archery) + Zhao Yun (Infantry) + Sun Shangxiang (Archery) + Zhu Rong (Cavalry)

This team combines a 20% Warlords faction bonus with a 15% Shu faction bonus, balancing damage output and survivability. Functionally, Zhao Yun absorbs damage, Zhu Rong reaps down low-health enemies, Sun Shangxiang targets the rear to restrict enemy healing, and Hua Tuo ensures team sustainability.

Applicable Scenarios:

Resource scramble, low to medium difficulty crusade.

Shu Kingdom Faction Teams

Shu's strength lies in strategy and synergy. These teams pack a punch with control and speed.

Control and Burst Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Zhuge Liang (Archery) + Guan Yu (Cavalry) + Zhang Fei (Infantry) + Liu Bei (Archery) + Ma Chao (Cavalry)

The skill chain features Zhang Fei taunting to draw aggro, Guan Yu using "Consecutive Slash" to reap enemies, and Zhuge Liang's "group damage reduction" coupled with Liu Bei's "penetration buff" to form a closed loop.

With a 20% Shu faction bonus and an 18% research speed boost post-awakening for Zhuge Liang, this team balances development and combat. It counters Wei's fragile lineups but requires Ma Chao's "burn" effect to penetrate defenses against Warlords' Lu Bu.

*Tip: Prioritize awakening Zhuge Liang, and level up Guan Yu's exclusive weapon to max to boost his critical hit rate.

Quick Attack Archer Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Zhuge Liang (Archery) + Liu Bei (Archery) + Sun Shangxiang (Archery) + Zhu Rong (Cavalry) + Zhao Yun (Infantry)

Maximizes damage output with three archers granting a 45% archery offense and defense bonus. Sun Shangxiang targets the rear, and Zhu Rong's splash damage swiftly clears the battlefield. For survivability, Zhao Yun absorbs damage, Liu Bei heals, and Zhuge Liang's group damage reduction offsets enemy burst attacks.

Applicable Scenarios:

PVE, Low intensity arenas.

Wu Kingdom Faction Teams

Compared to the other teams above, the recommended team for the Wu Kingdom team has more control effects. This is one of the characteristics of Wu.

Burn and Control Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Sun Shangxiang (Archery) + Zhou Yu (Archery) + Sun Quan (Cavalry) + Lu Xun (Archery) + Taishi Ci (Infantry)

This team excels at crowd control with Sun Quan's stun and silence, Zhou Yu's burn damage that ignores defense, and Sun Shangxiang's focus on healing enemies in the backline.

With a 30% Wu faction bonus and a 45% archery offense and defense boost for Zhou Yu after awakening, the damage output is significantly enhanced. It's highly effective against Shu's front line but requires Taishi Ci's counterattack to penetrate Lu Bu's defenses.

*Tip: Sun Shangxiang can be max starred via free gameplay. Zhou Yu requires moderate investment. Sun Quan's fragments are obtained through seasonal events.

Quick Attack Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Sun Shangxiang (Archery) + Sun Ce (Cavalry) + Gan Ning (Cavalry) + Da Qiao (Archery) + Xiao Qiao (Archery)

The team combines rapid strikes with Sun Ce's "Charge" and Gan Ning's "Raid" to quickly penetrate the enemy's rear, while Sun Shangxiang's "Splash Damage" maximizes damage output. Da Qiao's "Group Acceleration" and Xiao Qiao's "Healing" enhance the team's survivability.

Applicable Scenarios:

This team works best against enemies with weak backlines and pairs well with Liu Bei/Cao Cao for added AOE damage.

Wei Kingdom Faction Teams

Generals in Wei Kingdom teams are easier to acquire and train.They can be used as the first choice of F2P players and also have good comb effects.

Attack and Defense Integrated Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Guo Jia (Archery) + Xu Chu (Infantry) + Cao Cao (Cavalry) + Xun Yu (Archery) + Xiahou Dun (Infantry)

Cao Cao's "Chaos Warlord" boosts all Wei heroes' combat attributes by 30%, while Xu Chu's "Iron Wall" reduces enemy offense. Guo Jia's awakening increases archery offense and defense by 45%, and Xun Yu's "Drive the Tiger to Devour the Wolf" removes enemy buffs, enabling a "first - strike suppression".

Applicable Scenarios:

Great for raids, resource wars, and daily tasks.

F2P Team

  • Team Configuration:

Awakened Guo Jia (Archery) + Xu Chu (Infantry) + Cao Cao (Cavalry) + Guan Yincheng (Infantry) + Cheng Pu (Infantry)

Guan Yincheng and Cheng Pu, forms at low cost. Xu Chu's "Rally Buff" boosts team contribution. With daily resource consumption of just 1.2 million, it's ideal for steady development in the early game.

Three Generals Team

REC. Team 1:

Xu Chu (Infantry) + Awakened Guo Jia (Archery) + Cao Cao (Cavalry)

This team pairing is currently the most popular F2P pairing, and is very versatile for both early and mid transition.As well as the demand for resources is not very high

REC. Team 2:

Awakened Sun Shangxiang (Archery) + Awakened Taishi Ci (Infantry) + Gan Ning (Cavalry)

This team is easier to form than the wei team but takes longer to complete. Players may fall behind before season 5. Free-to-play players can skip sun quan and progress slowly until season 6 when taishi ci awakens.
