Fourth Weapon: Falcon - Yi Ling stage, Wu Side. Either Lu Meng or Gan Ning must stay alive while you do this. First, you must break through the stone warrior formation, which is the square area on the south part of the map. You won't see a map on the main screen, but you can pause to see where you are. Enter through the top, then make your way around clockwise until you reach the exit on the west side. Head towards Liu Bei. On the way there, Zhuge Liang's unit will appear. Defeat Zhuge Liang. The precious item will then appear in the northeast side of the maze. Grab it, then make your way back and defeat Liu Bei to finish the stage.

Attacks:

• Attack 1: A spinning attack with both swords. Rather fast, and good for clearing crowds.
• Attack 2: Double upward sword attack. Standard juggling move, but with good width.
• Attack 3: A quick jumping strike. Fast and covers a good distance, dizzying anyone it hits.
• Attack 4: A double flipping attack that clears out anyone it hits. Short range, but it carries the death element once you get his fourth weapon.
• Attack 5: A spinning upward sword strike. Standard high juggling move.
• Attack 6: Sends shockwaves out in two directions in front of him. Good range, and can hit a large group of foes, but won't always hit guys directly in front of you.
• Musou Attack: Rapid fire series of strikes. Very fast, and good for clearing out a crowd or damaging a single tough foe.
• Running Attack: Outward slash with both swords. It has decent horizontal range, and dizzies if it hits.

Overall Assessment: Lu Xun is a good character with well-rounded abilities, emphasis is on speed. He's good at clearing out attackers and becomes an absolute monster with his fourth weapon. His biggest weakness is lack of range, but you can equip items (or his fourth weapon) to improve on that.

Advanced Strategy: Without his fourth weapon, Lu Xun is best played as a hit and run type character. His SSST (Special Strongest Attack, a type of attack combo) is pretty well suited for this, although he can get hit by enemies that aren’t knocked down by it. Once you get his fourth weapon though, he becomes extremely dangerous and can now wade right into the enemy hordes. Using his SSST, he will mow down lots of bad guys at once. He can also take a solid bite out of an enemy general if he connects with this. He’s also got the fastest running speed in the game, which is a useful asset.
