2.History of Liu Bei
-------------------------
Lifespan: 161-223 A.D.
Style: Xuande
History: Liu Bei was the first ruler of the Shu-Han Kingdom.His goal
was to restore the Han Dynasty. His sworn brothers were Guan Yu and
Zhang Fei. He first started raising his army during the Yellow
Turban rebellion along with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He was
also a officer in theanti-alliance agaist Dong Zhuo. Later after
the battle of Chi Bi Liu Zhang asks for reinforcements from Liu Bei
to stop Zhang Lu from destroying his his request and moved his army
to stop Zhang Lu. When Zhang Lu saw this he retreaded. For a while
Liu Bei stayed in Liu Zhang's territory until he decieded that he
needed his own land so he returns to his one little peice of land
that he had and went to attack Liu Zhang. Despite losing Pang Tong
he took control of all of Liu Zhang's land and with that had enough
land to stand a chance to stand against Sun Quan and Cao Cao.
Thereby starting the Three Kingdoms era. Just a couple of years
later Guan Yu is executed along with Guan Ping his adoapted son by
Sun Quan. This angers Liu Bei and Zhang Fei so muchthat he Liu Bei
executed his adoapted son Liu Feng who didn't send reinforcements
when Guan Yu asked him to. He also executed Mi Fang and Fu Shiren
who joined the Wu forces in the middle of battle. But Zhang Fei
lead to his own downfall... he took it out on his troops which
angerd them so one night after Zhang Fei fell asleep (from being
drunk)his troops killed him.This made Liu Bei twice as angry.
And so he startedto ready his troops to face the Wu army. Before
the battle of Yi Ling the armies engage in many skirmises all
ending in victory for Wu. This puts great stress on Liu Bei.
Then the two armies engage at Yi Ling the last battle between
Shu and Wu since they become allies a little after this battle.
Because of the young but smart Lu Xun, Wu is victorious. This
puts major stress on Liu Bei. A little less than a year after Yi
Ling Liu Bei dies of stress and illness at Yong An leaving all to
Zhuge Liang. He dies at the age of sixty-two.

This is what it says in the game:
"The first Emperor of the Kingdom of Shu. Alon with his sworn
brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei he participates in the campaign
against the Yellow Turbans. After fighting in various battles
he establishes the Shu Kingdom, signifying the beginning of the
Three Kingdoms era. His aim was to restore the Han Dynasty, thereby
bringing peace to the troubled land."

---------------------------------
3.Why should I use him?
--------------------------------
You should use Liu Bei because first of all he is the funest of all
the leaders to use that's what I think anyway. He has good beginning
stats. He also has fun attacks. His mosou is good. His T (triangle)
is cool even though it's hard to master. His swords are cool.
Unlike the other leaders.

And that's about it. In other words he fun to be.

---------------
4.Pros and Cons
---------------
Pros:
1.Good Mosou
2.Good beginning stats except health
3.Not slow
4.Leader of every battle
5.SSSSST is really good at crowd clearing

Cons:
1.His triangle is hard to do (even though it's cool looking)
2.Low beginning health
---------------------
5.Unlocking him

--------------
7.Combos
--------------
T:He moves diagonally to one side and attacks from behind. You can
move in a different direction if you control him but it's sortta
hard to do that.

ST:He just swings his sword upward into the air sending anyone sent
flying into the air ( not high ).

SST:He swings his sword diagonaly back and forth three times on
the right and three times on the left. Then he swings it to the
right and makes everyone who is in the way dizzy.

SSST:He swings his sword vertically and sends anyone in the way
flying backwards.

SSSST:He swings his sword really far back behind him and swings his
sword up sending them really high up into the air and then he jumps
up and hits them back to the ground.

SSSSST:He spins around swinging his sword once,making an energy
wave thing and anyone who gets hit by it will fly back.(his BEST
move!)

Ground Slam: He sticks his sword down and slams the ground making
anyone he hits fall to the ground.

Jump attack: He attacks diaganoly down left.

Horse attack: He strikes back and forth on each side.

Horse charge attack: He attacks on one side then the other more
powerful and faster than the regular attack.

Horse Musou: More powerful and faster strikes.

Musou: He slashes diagonaly on the left side then then swings far
left then far right then far daiagonaly down right.

True Musou: Same thing but with one more final three slash.

--------------------
8. Weapon Info.
--------------------
Level 10 Weapon:
Battle of Ru Nan
Gold Moon Dragon Attack + 52
Meet up with Zhao Yun, get the cut sceen where he meets up with him.
Then kill Li Dian. Then go inside the castle and kill Xiahou Yuan
before Guan Yu appears. Then kill all of the officers before killing
Cao Cao. Then you should have the weapon.
NOTE: Make sure you are playing on Dynasty Warriors 4.

Level 11 Weapon
Liu Bei's Legend Stage
King of Shu Attack + 60
Conditions:
1.Defeat all officers within 8:00 mins.
2.Cannot get cutsceen where Liu Bei kills peasants
3.It's okay to let officers go to base twice.

DO NOT equip wind scroll because you will have a better
chance of killing the peasants,also,your bodyguards can kill as
many peasants as they want. Try to get the officers away from the
peasants.Gate captains and thier bodyguards do not count as
peasants. To get the cutsceen where Liu Bei kills the peasents you
have to get ten K.O.s so be cautious. Two player can kill as many
peasants as he/she wants.
NOTE: Makesure you are playing DW:XL4.

His weapon stats are: Tortoise Amulet Lv.19, Speed Scroll Lv.14,
Horned Helm Lv.9, and SSS Lv.20 (he's  really lucky!)

----------------------------------------
9.What items you should equip
----------------------------------------
Harness: Hex Mark ( it makes more sense than Red Hare or Shadow
Runner)

Orbs: Vorpal- It's usefull when you use SSSSST,since it will
probably kill some of the enemies with one blow.(recomended)

Lightning- You can get enemies away from you easier,which is
usefull since he doesn't have good crowd clearing moves.

Ice- I use this on really hard levels like the Nanman
Campaign, since it is easier to kill enemies when they
are frozen.

Items: Peacock Urn- He needs more health since it starts
pretty low.

Tiger Amulet- His attack is okay but you should still
equip it.

Dragon Amulet- His musou gets even better with this, you should
equip it.

Wind Scroll- His attacks are more better with this, escpecially
his musou.

Elixer- It would be best to have this since is musou is so good.

------------------------
10.Liu Bei's legend mode
------------------------
Skirmish at Cheng Du:
This is probably the shortest legend mode in the game. All you have
to do is defeat the five officers with out killing too many
peasants. Kill ten peasents and you'll get a cutscene where he'll
kill some peasants. But if you kill fifty you will lose. Try
getting the officers away from the peasant. Also it wouldn't be
wise to use your SSSSST since it has a far range and it'll
probably kill some peasants. In the middle of battle it'll
say a officer is going a diferent direction, you don't have to
worry about that. They will just return to their base and I'm not
sure what happens when they do. It's happend to me but nothing
happend. The good thing is that your bodyguards can kill as many
peasants as they want. So baisicaly all you have to do is get the
officers away from the peasants and kill them. This probably one
of the easiest legend modes in the game.

-----------------------------
11.Frequently asked questions
-----------------------------
Q: What's an easier way to get the peasents away? I keep getting
the cutscene where he kills the peasents!

A: Well, ether you can use a horse to push the peasents away or
you can use your bodyguards to kill the peasents for you.
