![]() | Lu Meng 吕蒙 Enlightened Knight of the Country 圣光之国士 Study 涉猎 During his drawing phase, Lu Meng can not draw to flip over the top five cards of the deck and place one card from each suit into his hand. The rest are discarded. Strike at the Heart 攻心 Once per turn, Lu Meng can look at another player's hand. He then can choose a heart card from their hand and display it. Lu Meng then either discards that card or puts in on the top of the deck. |
Clarification:
- If Lu Meng activates "Strike at the Heart" on a another player who has no heart cards in their hand, he simply looks at their hand and gives it back to them.
- When using "Strike at the Heart," Lu Meng does not have to remove a heart card if they have one in their hand. In effect, he can simply use the power to look at another player's hand.
- When using "Strike at the Heart" on Xiao Qiao, Lu Meng can discard a spade card since her "Beauty" automatically makes these cards heart cards.
- Lu Meng is not guaranteed to take four cards when using "Study." For example, if Lu Meng uses this power and there are no heart cards in the top five cards of the deck, Lu Meng simply takes a diamond, club, and spade card.
- When using "Study," Lu Meng must take one card of each suit of the five cards. For example, if there there is only one heart card in the group of five that Lu Meng is not interested in taking, he still must place it in his hand.

Notable Combinations:
- Liu Bei/Guo Jia/Xun Yu - These characters can give Lu Meng cards that the rest of the characters cannot see. This helps to mitigate the second bullet point in the 'Weaknesses' section.
- Lu Bu/Xu Chu/Zhang Jiao/Dong Zhou/Zhang Fei - The characters can do a large amount of damage in a short amount of time. Due to his lack of defensive abilities, Lu Meng can easily fall prey to these offensive powerhouses.
- Xu Huang - Xu Huang's "Blockade" is damning against Lu Meng since it robs him of his drawing power.
King | Lu Meng is an okay, but not an outstanding king choice. He benefits from the extra unit of health and his powers are valuable when fighting rebels. In addition, it is sometimes possible to 'bully' the spy into acting as a loyalist, lest they feel the wrath of Lu Meng! However, his fragile nature and his lack of defensive abilities make it easier for rebels to damage him. |
Loyalist | Lu Meng makes for a good loyalist. His outstanding offensive powers can do a small amount of damage in a short amount of time. Also, his presence can act as a distraction for the rebels, drawing their fire from the king. |
Rebel | Lu Meng is a good rebel choice. He can focus his powers on the king and deal a lot of damage. However, it should be noted that he could die quickly since everyone who is not a rebel will want him dead, since he will usually be the biggest threat of the rebels. Additionally, the three card bounty will provide an additional incentive to kill him. |
Spy | Lu Meng is a serviceable, but flawed spy choice. He can affect the game quickly to even the balance between the two teams. However, his fragile nature and the fact that he is a high-profile character work against him when trying to last a long time. |
Final Remarks:
Lu Meng is perhaps one of the most fun characters to use. He is very powerful character in terms of draw power and fire power. However, do not let this power go to your head when using him. Sometimes it is better to keep a low profile if you want to last longer.
