How is Lu Su in Code Name: Slaughter? Introduction to Lu Su's Skills in Code Name: Slaughter

In the world of Sanguosha, a card game with codenames, there is an exceptionally wise strategist from the Eastern Wu faction named Lu Su. If you've ever looked into his ingenious strategies, you'd know that at least in terms of intelligence, there's no need to worry about this general. Moreover, based on the unique deeds of the general, skills related to his life story have been designed in the current game, which also makes many players want to use this card.

Lu Su's initial health is set at 4 points. His first skill is called "Gift of Entrapment," and the timing for using this skill is set at the beginning phase of each turn. When it's Lu Su's turn, he selects 4 cards from the top of the deck and secretly stores them in a special area known as the granary. At the start of other players' turns, Lu Su has the option to trigger a special effect, allowing that player to randomly draw half the number of cards from the granary.

It should be noted that when the number of cards is odd, the half is rounded down, but it ensures that the player receives at least 1 card. Additionally, the cards in the granary not only serve as a resource reserve but are also directly linked to Lu Su's hand limit. Specifically, for every card stored in the granary, Lu Su's hand limit increases by 1 point. This change is immediate, meaning that once the number of cards in the granary changes, Lu Su's hand limit will adjust accordingly. However, this increase in hand limit only takes effect during the discard phase, to determine how many cards Lu Su needs to discard to meet the new limit.

Lu Su also possesses a rather unique and strategic second skill called "Borrowing the State to Forge Alliances." The use of this skill is clearly limited to once per turn, making it a restricted skill. When a player decides to activate "Borrowing the State to Forge Alliances," they can designate two other characters, putting them into a special alliance state. This alliance state lasts until the player's next turn begins, at which point it is lifted.

During this alliance state, a series of unique effects occur. Characters currently in the alliance state, when performing actions during their play phase, are granted a special privilege: they can play the hand cards of their ally. It should be particularly noted that this play action is strictly defined; it can only be actively played and cannot be handled through discarding, destroying, or using skills to give the cards to other characters. In actual gameplay, a more complex situation may arise.

That is, both parties might attempt to operate on the same card simultaneously, such as an "Unmatchable" card. In such cases, the final result is determined by the order of operations; whoever completes the action first successfully plays the card. For example, if one party slightly faster completes the play action, then the card is considered to have been successfully played by that party. It must be clear that playing an ally's card is, in rule judgment, counted as having been played by oneself.

Therefore, during the action phase, players need to pay extra attention to various situations, carefully calculating each step and its potential consequences, to make decisions most favorable to themselves. Additionally, if, outside of his turn, due to certain reasons such as skill effects or trick cards, the number of cards in Lu Su's hand exceeds the current hand limit, it does not immediately trigger a discard reaction, preserving more operational space for Lu Su in the battle.

The above is an introduction to how good Lu Su is in Codename: Sanguo. If you're looking for a general with very high intelligence, then the card introduced today is definitely a choice. Although there isn't an intelligence attribute here, it's not hard to see from the skill effects that this general is quite clever in terms of skills.
