Overview

A Shu campaign hero whose presence restores health to nearby allied units.

Availability and investment

Liu Bei becomes available in Imperial Age. The roster classifies it as Hero unit. The listed cost is 500 Food, 500 Gold and the training time is 60 seconds. This tells you when it can first join an army and which resources must be reserved alongside Villager production, upgrades, and other military lines.

    Combat profile

    The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.

    Field use

    Use it to hold space, protect support units, or pressure an opponent that cannot kite it safely. The listed armor and bonus-attack classes determine which opponents it can trade with efficiently.
