Fighting Style
In Dynasty Warriors 6, Lu Xun wields a single double edge sword and uses several wuxia inspired moves. Specifically, his attacks resemble those seen in single-sword demonstrations for contemporary wushu. He also has a great range attack when the Renbu String reaches its max or infinity. He is a great crowd killer and if his attack connects, the enemy officer will receive massive damage.

Lu Xun possesses high Musou gauge but low defense in the aforementioned title. However, if the player is able to keep up with the Skill Tree, Lu Xun can become one of the characters with highest defense value.By rapidly pressing undefined after jumping (press ) with infinite Renbu, he can deal massive damage to all the enemies below him, ending the assault with a shockwave that always connects afterwards. But because of this, he is especially vulnerable to attacks from behind. He is a balanced character whose initially low defense is compensated by his excellent Musou growth.
