In terms of the early lineup recommendations for the new Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Biography, the most challenging part for new players is often not knowing whether these generals' abilities can be combined. In this introduction, you will see an overview of the combinations in the new Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Biography. If you want to find a suitable lineup for yourself in the game, don't forget the recommendations in this article; these strategies are very suitable for everyone.
Firstly, a good choice would be Guan Yu, Xiahou Yuan, Cai Yan, Cao Cao, and one random general. These generals are relatively easy to obtain, making it easier to form a team. If there is a budget, focusing on cultivating Guan Yu is a great strategy. Guan Yu has high critical hit rates and the ability to cause damage with two moves, which can be incredibly powerful in battle. Prioritizing rare resources for him often yields surprising effects. For those with monthly cards, consider focusing on Xiahou Yuan or Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong has a clear advantage in idle battles, as his attack method makes the battle progress more smoothly.

Low-spending lineups have different pairing ideas at different stages. In the early transition phase, Huang Zhong can serve as the main carry (C), with strong single-target burst damage, capable of delivering a precise, lethal blow to enemies. Tai Shi Ci can act as the secondary carry (sub-C), using his skills to deal area damage, effectively hitting multiple enemies. Lu Su plays a support role, providing healing and various buffs to ensure the team's sustainability and overall combat power. This lineup is extremely cost-effective to cultivate but still possesses formidable strength, allowing players to smoothly advance to around level 200.
In the mid-game phase, Sun Ce becomes the core figure of the burn team. His skills can inflict additional damage on targets in a burning state, making him excellent for prolonged and attrition battles. Sun Quan mainly controls the battlefield, releasing group silence skills to throw the enemy into chaos, preventing them from using their skills normally. Cheng Pu stands at the front as a tank, drawing enemy fire to create a favorable output environment for the backline. This lineup performs well in highly competitive cross-server battles.

In the late-game phase, Cao Cao serves as a support, providing a damage boost to all teammates, elevating the team's overall output. Guo Jia excels at controlling the enemy's skill releases, disrupting their rhythm through various means. Xiahou Dun can absorb damage, protecting the backline. Huang Zhong focuses on dealing damage, using his powerful attacks to finish off weakened enemies. This lineup balances offensive and defensive capabilities, performing strongly in both high-difficulty dungeons and against other powerful players.
In the Conquer Enemy Martial Arts or Conquer Enemy Dominance mode, a recommended lineup is 3 Wu + 2 functional supports, fully utilizing the burning characteristics of Wu generals to slowly deplete the enemy's health. As long as the frontline can withstand the enemy's assault, there is a good chance of outlasting and defeating the opponent. However, the actual lineup should be adjusted based on the results of card draws, as sometimes luck may not be on your side, and some players might end up with only basic and 2-star red generals after four days. Overall, as long as the dual C-position generals are not too far behind the opponent, this lineup has the potential to be effective.

Next, let's discuss the action order and lineup arrangement. The action order can be arranged by dragging the portraits on the right side. Using Zhang Fei, Fa Zheng, Sun Jian, Tai Shi Ci, and Sun Shangxiang as an example, Zhang Fei is placed in the first action position. He uses his skills to apply a shattering armor effect to enemies within a certain range, reducing their physical defense and creating an opening for subsequent attacks. Next, Fa Zheng, in the second action position, reduces the enemy's critical hit resistance, indirectly increasing the critical damage of our forces. Then, Sun Jian in the third action position, after using his skill, grants a Roar buff to friendly units in a diamond-shaped area, increasing all attributes by 10%. Following that, Tai Shi Ci, in the fourth action position, applies a burning effect to the enemy. Finally, Sun Shangxiang, as the main carry, is in the fifth action position. When she initiates an attack, her passive skill activates, increasing her damage if there are friendly units in the diamond-shaped area. Combined with the debuffs from Zhang Fei and Fa Zheng, and the buffs from Sun Jian and Tai Shi Ci, Sun Shangxiang's damage can reach its maximum. Additionally, at the 12th level of military tactics, Sun Shangxiang also inflicts bleeding, allowing her to place both burning and bleeding statuses on the enemy, with the true damage calculated based on her spirit and attack, making her a powerhouse in terms of output.

In this mode, the battlefield consists of three rows, each with five positions. Strategically, it is suggested to place Zhang Fei and Sun Jian in the first row, where they can absorb some pressure and use their skills first, setting up the stage. Place Fa Zheng in the second row, serving as a bridge between the front and back lines, assisting both. Place Tai Shi Ci and Sun Shangxiang in the third row, adjusting their specific positions based on their attack range. For example, a 5th-level general should be placed in a suitable position in the third row.
This positioning is designed so that, as the attacking side, the main and secondary carries, being archers with long attack ranges, do not need to be in the first row to easily hit the enemy. After the first round of attacks, the dual carries remain in the back, ensuring their safety and preventing them from being quickly eliminated in the second round. As the defending side, this positioning also offers advantages. Since the dual carries are positioned at the back, the enemy has a harder time targeting them, thus increasing their survival rate and making the entire team more stable in defense.

The above is an introduction to the lineup combinations in the new Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Biography. There are many lineups introduced here, catering to different needs in the early and late stages, as well as different modes. Everyone can refer to these lineups.
