About
Lu Xun is a recurring playable general in the Dynasty Warriors franchise, appearing in the 1997 original game as well as Dynasty Warriors 5, Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends, and Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires. Depicted as a young, highly intelligent strategist for the Eastern Wu faction, he typically fights using dual sabers. His gameplay across these titles emphasizes high agility, rapid strikes, and fire-based special attacks.
Historically modeled after the Three Kingdoms military chancellor, this character's narrative arc centers on his rise to become the Chief Commander of his state. In the 3D fighting game Dynasty Warriors (1997), he was part of the debut roster, establishing his presence at the franchise's inception.
By the release of Dynasty Warriors 5 (2005), his campaign mode highlighted pivotal engagements, most notably the defense of Lukou and the Battle of Yiling. This narrative depth expanded in Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends (2005) and its Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends [Platinum] (2005) edition, which introduced dedicated Legend Mode scenarios focusing on his early service under Sun Quan. In the strategic spin-off Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires (2006), players could utilize his character within the empire-building simulation, leveraging his high policy statistics to govern territories. Throughout these specific releases, his relationship with his mentor Lu Meng remains a central focus, cementing his legacy as the intellectual successor to the southern realm's military leadership.
