We all know if you have a lot of hidden Immu equip pieces its easy. We all know if you have some damage splitters (Cai Wenji, Zhang Fei) it´s not that difficult. But what if you have only two to four pieces of Immu and no splitter or other special hero? Well, this is the right place to find out.
The key to this instance lies in perfect preparation (and great portion of luck in blocking). Do NOT wait until the instance open, start to prepare immediately after got Zhou Yu.The distance of six-seven levels can look long enough, but believe me, it is shorter than short. I honestly recommend you to wait until get Zhang Feiand replace Dian Wei with him. This will protect your psychical health, because Dian Wei is quite useless in Lu Meng stage. I started instance immediatelyafter open, did five stages in the row, then have to strenghten for each stage.If this didn´t discouraged you, try this tutorial. I promise you, you´llgrow strong as hell during this instance. During this tutorial, please have in mind that I prepared to get through with two hidden Immu only, fortunately during the instance I obtained two more by common refine.
General useful tips for Lu Xun instance:
NOTE: this general tips are crucial for last five stages (especially Lu Meng Stage). First five stages are joke comparing to the rest.
1. Armament. All your armament should be full if you have less than four hidden Immu equip. Which means forge and forge again. And forge.There are people who got Lu Xun with lower than full bottom armament, but it´s easier to wait until all arma is full as we talk about getting Lu Xun with less Immu than others had, so in case you have three and less pieces of full Immu equip and no special hero, your armament simply must be full. Please note the spread in attack and defense between Pan Zhang and Lu Meng instance.
2. Trinkets. You should have at least two Lanterns (of course, the higher, the better), the best approach is to make at least one ofthem Superlantern. This is because Xu Chu will need it desperately for enhancing his block capacity so he can use his Immunity as long as possible.Giving him Lantern is followed by canceling abilities of his previous (probably Super-) trinket so it´s better to think of Superlantern to balance this disadvantage. If you are able to make two superlanterns (spending your gold onvouchers is worthier than useless spending thousands of gold on advanced or ultimate refine to get Immu set) give second to Zhou Yu as he is gonna be the main blocker here.
3. Immunity. Get as many Immunity as you can on your equip. The effect of Immu was explained by others so let me just point out that the same effect has Final negation rate ability. Therefore you can polish it on supertrinkets or use Star Atlas Dragon 4. I had only two pieces of 5555 Immu equip in first 5 stages, then three stages 6-8, finally got fourth during Lu Meng stage. One more thing. Do not deify Immu, you can get Lu Xun in other ways. If you have only small amount of Immu equip, invest in superiron and make higher level resist troops horcruxes than recommended in note 5, rather than invest gold in advanced and ultimate refine. These are quite good substitute for Immu and lot of people have it low so they can not protect their generals approprietly.
4. Star Atlas. Give all your generals Star Atlas with at least Dragon 5 level (except of those who has some suits with lots of troops,then 4 is enough I think). Included Final damage rate on Dragon 3 (Damage done bymelee by %) and Final negation rate on Dragon 4 (Immu for all!) will make great service to you.
5. Horcruxes. Resist-x horcruxes should be at 18% (9th level) against Archers and Infantry and 20% against Mechanic and Cavalry (lower if you have lot of immu, but this tutorial is for low immu players, so it should be higher if you have less than four pieces of Immu), Storm 24% (12th level), Rebound on 21% (9th level). Prefer hightening of Resist Cavalry first as long as there is a lot of Cavalry terrain NPC´s. High resist mechanization is necessary for Lu Meng stage. Don´t use Defend hrcrx, it is not for an attacker, whom you´ll be all the instance. I dislike Improve tactics hrcrx and have it only on 5thlevel, so I did not use it except of I didn´t have other choice; feel free to test otherwise, because in some stages you will lack usable horcrux. Why such high numbers on unit resistances ? Because if you fight the right unitit´s something more or less similar to Immu.
6. Equip. Forget about equip that enhances skill damage, except of situation you have to rely on it or if you have really high skill attack. Except of Immu use some Harm on melee warriors (Xu Chu, Dian Wei and Ma Chao) and Attack + Defense on others; prefer huge attack on Zhou Yu (in relation to his terrain negation talent he will be even stronger against terrain NPC).
7. Trial tower test. The lowest level I ever heard of to get Lu Xun was 7th stage of 8th floor with full Immu set. On the other hand,others – and I was no exception - had problem to get Lu Xun although being about ten stages higher, me included. So if you can not pass 6th stage of 8thfloor, do not attempt and collect souls patiently. I started the instance being in 8th stage of 8th floor and get Lu Xun while inhabiting 20th stage of8th floor.
8. Fostering. The higher, the better. Easy. Focus on Attack & Troops.
9. Gems : Prefer higher Gems on Attack arma. After getting av. defense 2350 prefer higher gems on higher Troops arma than on lower Defense Arma. If you have some 12 lvl gem I highly recommend to turn it into Crystal and heighten their capacity by burnishing, especially on Attack arma gems. Heightening is slowly continuous over every 256 burnished lvl1 gems and not just jumping after 4096 gems collected.
10. Liegemen.You should prefer combos raising Lead for Xu Chu because of higher block probability. Otherwise feel free to combine whatever you like as long as it gives you highest stats reachable in Attack & Defense.
11. Terrain.Use Zhou Yu against terrain specialists, do not just follow blindly what otherwrote on fixed formations with Zhou Yu usually fourth. If there are two terrain NPCs one after another, definitely use Zhou Yu in that place. Use Guo Jia against non terrain NPC´s except of cities or if you are able to kill first row of terrain NPC with other general. So if fourth NPC is non terrain use Guo Jia to reflect fifth NPC (like in the Zhou Yu instance), if its worth. Use Plains and City Assault both against Attack and(normal) Assault, and City Attack against both Defense and Attack.
12. Attack/Defense/Troops triangle should be balanced, so as there are as many strategies as players, usestrategy you prefer and are comfortable with. I prefer huge attack and smaller army, however, this resolves in huge dependence on blocking luck (which i didn´t have here) and sometimes my Troops numbers are insufficient.
13. Don´t waste your time and souls. If you fail to do some stage 5 times, let it be and come back after getting stronger about att + 50 def + 30 troops + 80 in average at least. You can prevent heart attack and spend your souls on Dragon Atlas or fostering; remember these achievements will stay with you long after you finish the instance. This instance cost me about 960 k soul which I find not too much since I was experimenting what would be the best tactic.
