In the game world of the Three Kingdoms, there are many powerful generals, each with their unique characteristics. The strength of each character in the game varies greatly. Without careful testing and in-depth experience, players can easily go astray in the process of developing their generals. So, to help you choose the right purple generals in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Campaign, today we will summarize in detail those generals worth cultivating carefully.
In the early stages of the game, there is a small tank recognized by many players as being very useful, that is Yue Jin. What makes Yue Jin unique is his ability to recover health when hit. His image as a tough meat shield is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the difficulty of upgrading him is relatively low, making it very easy to cultivate. For the early stages where resources are relatively scarce, this is also a huge advantage. Although Yue Jin's maximum star rating is only 8 stars, this does not affect his outstanding toughness as a tank.
In the early stages of the game, when players do not yet have enough strong main output generals, Yue Jin can rely on his solid defensive capabilities to absorb a large amount of damage for the team, steadily protecting the teammates behind him. Generally speaking, once the player's main output general reaches 12 stars, with a significant increase in output, the need for tanks may decrease relatively. However, before that, Yue Jin is definitely one of the most cost-effective generals in the early stage, serving as a capable assistant for players during the initial phase.
Apart from Yue Jin, in the early stages of the game, there are also some other purple generals worth paying attention to and cultivating, such as Yuan Shu, Ma Teng, Mi Zhu, etc. After all, in the game, purple generals often play a transitional role. The unique mechanism of this game determines that purple generals have their own advantages, which is that they are simple to cultivate. Wanting to obtain enough resources to fully develop orange generals is often beyond reach. In this case, choosing to cultivate some strong purple generals becomes the best choice.
It is noteworthy that high-star purple generals are absolutely not to be underestimated in terms of strength; some even possess the potential to rival orange generals. Among the many purple generals, besides the aforementioned Yue Jin, Mi Zhu stands out as an excellent example, being hailed by many players as having the potential of an orange general. When comparing these two, it is recommended to prioritize Yue Jin. The reason is simple: in the early battles of this game, the importance of tank-type generals goes without saying. Yue Jin's innate abilities are unique and practical. At the start of battle, his attacks will add 10.5% of his defense attribute as damage.
This additional damage bonus allows him to contribute somewhat to the offense, no longer just taking hits without retaliating like traditional tanks. Additionally, he gains a charge effect, and after being attacked, he can recover health based on 10% of his maximum HP. Mi Zhu's battlefield talent increases his maximum HP by 4.8%, enhancing his survivability.
More crucially, before being attacked, he can clear one debuff from all friendly units within two circles around him. When teammates are affected by various negative statuses, such as slow or stun, Mi Zhu can quickly remove these detrimental effects, allowing teammates to regain their combat effectiveness. Meanwhile, he can also recover health based on 7% of his maximum HP. Although the recovery amount is slightly lower compared to Yue Jin, the timing of this skill is very clever, providing certain support at critical moments.
When Yue Jin and Mi Zhu work together, they can produce a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts. In battle, Mi Zhu can bravely step forward to attract enemy fire, as he has the ability to clear debuffs and some self-healing, which can withstand enemy attacks to a certain extent. Meanwhile, Yue Jin can release skills appropriately to protect Mi Zhu. When Mi Zhu takes damage, both of their innate abilities are triggered simultaneously: Yue Jin's attack with added defense attribute damage and protection for Mi Zhu, along with Mi Zhu's self-healing and debuff removal. Such a combination almost ensures that they won't lose health in battle. Additionally, when paired with Wei generals, there is also a Wei faction bonus that benefits the entire team.
As long as the enemies do not instantly kill them upon appearing, they are virtually invincible, creating an extremely stable output environment for their teammates. Moreover, the acquisition difficulty of these two purple generals is relatively low, making them very suitable for use by casual and zero-spending players in the early stages. Even in the later stages of the game, when their roles become relatively smaller, they can still serve as excellent fodder to enhance the star ratings of other generals.
Through the above introduction, I believe everyone now understands who the best purple generals are in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Campaign. If you feel pressured while trying to build an all-orange general lineup, then appropriately adding some purple generals, especially the powerful ones like Yue Jin and Mi Zhu, can effectively reduce resource pressure without compromising overall strength.
