Lu Lingqi (onyomi: Ryo Reiki) is a fictional name for Lu Bu's historically unnamed daughter. Not much is known about her, but her father attempted to use her twice for a political marriage with Yuan Shu's son. Her marriage was considered but refused both times due to the warlord's loose trust in her father's integrity. Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes that it was additionally fueled by his loathing for Lu Bu's arrogance.

Before her playable Dynasty Warriors appearance, Lu Bu's daughter is mentioned to be leaving in a carriage at Xiapi during the fourth installment. It is never specified if she is Lu Lingqi or not. The latest character poll for the eighth installment puts her in eighth place. The character poll for overseas fans puts her in second place for the Other division and sixth in the semi-final round. She is the fourth most transcended character in the Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed character poll. She won third place in the Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate popularity poll. This character interpretation has a character image song, SURVIVE.

Her Dynasty Tactics counterpart appears as a fictional bonus character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms IX, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI and Sangokushi 12 Taisenban. She can be used in the first game if the player has Dynasty Tactics 2 save file on their memory card.

Role in Games[]

Dynasty Warriors[]

Dynasty Warriors Lu Lingqi was left behind by her father at the capital when he was forced out by Li Jue and Guo Si. She is only playable in Lu Bu's historical route and participates in many of his campaigns, starting with the Battle of Xiapi. When Liu Bei and Cao Cao overrun her father's forces at Xiapi, she regretfully follows his last wish to escape for her survival. In Guan Yinping's what-if scenario, Lu Lingqi steals Red Hare from Liu Bei's forces, claiming that the horse is her father's legacy. Guan Yinping and her party drive her back.

Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed has her appear as an enemy officer alongside Song Xian in one of the early missions of the Xuzhou campaign.

Lu Lingqi's bond stories show tidbits of her time with Lu Bu during his independent campaigns. Initially resigned to marrying Yuan Shu's son, she is relieved to hear her father calling off the arrangement after learning how much a fool her fiancé is. While many potential suitors find her attractive, none of them are brave enough to cross Lu Bu whose intimidation keeps Lu Lingqi from gaining much companionship. Nevertheless, she is content to remain by her father's side as a full-fledged warrior.

Lu Lingqi's reprises her previous role in Dynasty Warriors 9, and she first joins her father's army after they flee Luoyang. Despite her father's objections, she argues that she will not be a liability and eventually convinces him. The group attempt to join the conflict between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, but the former refuses to give them troops whilst the latter only has them fight a small group of bandits under Zhang Yan before biding their time.

Lu Bu's army joins Cao Cao, but Chen Gong, Lu Bu's strategist, defected and proposes they take the warlord's base. Cao Cao's reserve troops retake Yan Province, and the group flees to Liu Bei of Xu Province. Lu Lingqi joins her father's march to Shouchun to force the battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei to halt. They form an alliance, but Lu Lingqi later reveals she doesn't intend to uphold her end. Despite being captured, Lu Lingqi is spared and left with Zhang Liao in Xuchang. Zhang Liao allows her to practice her father's halberd, and she promises to continue fighting and survive the war.

In other stories, Lu Lingqi is found at Dingtao and Xu Province against Cao Cao and Liu Bei respectively. She later joins Zhang Liao with guarding Liu Bei's escape route after learning he intends meet up with Cao Cao in Xuchang, but can be duped into abandoning her post by taking out Chen Gong in Xiapi, forcing her to re-position herself there, leaving only Zhang Liao to guard the way to Xuchang. In the allied side for Xiapi, she can be found leaving for Yuan Shu's domain to request reinforcements.

In Dong Bai's DLC scenario, Lu Lingqi is spared after Dong Zhuo's granddaughter takes revenge on Lu Bu for her grandfather's death, and serves under Dong Bai as she prepares to go after Zhang Liao and Cao Cao. Assigned with Chen Gong to attack Shouchun, guarded by Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xun Yu, Lingqi is unable to attack the city as Guo Jia sealed the gates. However, Chen Gong sends a decoy force towards Xuchang in the hopes of throwing off Guo Jia. It works, and Guo Jia opens the gates to send some of the garrison troops after the decoy, allowing Lingqi to make her move, making Guo Jia uneasy when he sees the Daughter of the Demon attacking him, and Lingqi and Chen Gong manage to destroy the last of Cao Cao's front line defenses for Dong Bai.

Warriors Orochi[]

Lu Lingqi is a loyal officer of her father in Warriors Orochi 4, accompanying him throughout his battles. Hoping to aid Odin's eventual promise for endless battles for her father to enjoy himself with, Lu Lingqi fights the Coalition multiple times.

At Guangling, however, Ina reveals Odin's wish to destroy the world except for himself. As a destroyed world would mean total annihilation, and no more battles to fight, Lu Lingqi agrees to defect. Her betrayal is quickly followed by her father's, who wished to fight the Coalition more despite Odin's orders to withdraw, and Chen Gong's, who was aware of Odin's true plans.

After the battle, she and the rest of her father's army join the Coalition.

She later participate in Ōsaka Castle with Xingcai and Oichi to defend the central gates by defeating Himiko while the others focus on searching Zeus. In side story, she participates in Guangling with Sun Shangxiang and Lady Hayakawa in order to rescue their each fathers, Sun Jian and Ujiyasu. She also taunt Gyūki to execute volley attack.

Dynasty Tactics[]

She is a general under her father in Dynasty Tactics 2. Wanting to live up to her father's name and respecting her late mother's wishes, she's often eager to prove herself on the battlefield. She hopes to always stay beside Lu Bu and keep an eye on him. Her father however, cares very dearly for her, and would prefer it if she stayed out of warfare for her own safety.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms[]

Lü Lingqi debuted in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms series in the eleventh installment alongside many other female characters. In her debut entry, Lu Lingqi first appears as a secret officer and becomes a regular general in her father's army in subsequent titles. She has very low stats for domestic affairs but her WAR and LDR are among the highest even within the male officers. In every entry she has appeared in she has been the strongest female warrior in the game without comparison. In general, Lu Lingqi is an formidable officer but tends to die before she is 20 years old, making her talents ephemeral.

In the eleventh title, Lu Lingqi has preference for mounted troops with a special skill that confuses the enemy with cavalry tactics.

In the thirteenth title, if Lu Lingqi is the player character than she has the choice to join Cao Cao's army if Lu Bu is defeated through the surrender at Xiapi special event, and will be released if she refuses. Lu Lingqi is expected to die young of unnatural causes, but can live a natural lifespan of around 40 years if she survives and can have her lifespan extended through obtaining medicinal books and items.

Development[]

Since Lu Lingqi is one of many people who has nothing personally written in depth about her, Miyauchi remarks that it was difficult to devise her scenarios. He stressed that her relationship with Diaochan was one of the hardest hurdles for them to tackle.

Personality[]

Dynasty Warriors Lu Lingqi is a courageous woman who shares her father's love for battle. However, she fears being left alone due to being left behind during her father's flight from the capital. Lu Lingqi seems to share a one-sided rivalry with Guan Yinping and often fights to prove not only having the superior training but also the superior father. She also harbors mixed feelings towards Diaochan, acknowledging the maiden's importance in her father's life yet not fully forgiving her for using him.

In the Warriors Orochi series, she starts a rivalry and friendship with Ina, respecting the maiden's skills but becomes bashful at her request to train together. She also becomes fast friends with Lady Hayakawa, who is sympathetic to the contrasting struggles she and her father endured.

  • "I continue to prove what my father has taught me!"
  • "I am not alone... Everyone told me that. I thank all the people who voted for me from the bottom of my heart."
"You always look so tense. How about smiling once in a while?"
"I'm afraid I was born looking like this. I also find it hard to smile when there's nothing to smile about."
"You are very cute. Seriously, you should try to smile more."
"Cute? I am not! Stop it with your jokes."
"See? You look even cuter when you're blushing. I'll help you work on your smile."
~~Sun Shangxiang and Lu Lingqi; Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends
"How do I truly feel about you?... When I look at you like this right in front of me, I feel so torn and confused..."
"You hate me deeply, surely. I was the one who whispered to Lord Lu Bu and led him to kill Lord Dong Zhuo."
"That would be the natural reaction, but for some reason my feelings are more complex. When my father was in Luoyang, he always looked so stern and dissatisfied. He only ever smiled when he was with you. I loved his face at those times. So I find that I don't hate you as much as one might expect."
"Lady Lingqi. Thank you for saying that."
"Yet, I still cannot forgive your deeds. I can only hope that the passage of time will heal these mixed feelings."
~~Lu Lingqi and Diaochan; Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers
"What kind of training do you like to do, Lingqi?"
"I-I just face myself head on and swing my weapon. I don't do anything particularly special."
"What a strong core you have. How lovely! I'm quite moved."
"Wh-What are you talking about, Lady Ina!"
"Even though you have a father everyone calls the strongest, you pay that no mind, simply training yourself. I could learn a lot from you."
~~Ina and Lu Lingi; Warriors Orochi 4

Keys: Square Flow Attack • Triangle Reactive Attack • Circle Musou X Jump/Mount

Lu Lingqi is affiliated with the sword and shield and crossed pike in this title. When equipped with them, Lu Lingqi can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

Unique Attacks
Unique Flow Attack Finisher (Sword and Shield): Enemy Airborne + Square Square Square Square: Drops down to the ground and hits it with a powerful slicing motion, releasing a large mobile shockwave traveling forward. Staggers and dazes nearby foes, though it has the potential to serve as a launching attack depending on the terrain's elevation.
Unique Flow Attack Finisher (Crossed Pike): Enemy Downed + Square Square Square Square: Lu Lingqi finishes up her downed flow attack by doing a clockwise spin slash and unleashing a violent funnel of energy similar to her father's Spirit Bomb Musou attack from previous titles.
Unique Trigger Attack (Sword and Shield): R1 + Triangle: Does a tilting spin before throwing shield vertically like a boomerang, causing enemies near Lu Lingqi to be flung into the air. The motion itself is based more on the crossed pike moveset's fourth charge attack from Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends.
Unique Trigger Attack (Crossed Pike): R1 + Square: Does two pivoting swipes in varying angles before tossing weapon forward like a boomerang, stunning foes within range. The trajectory of the crossed pike can be redirected. Additional button inputs will automatically imbue the attack with the slash element.
Special Technique: R1 + Circle: Pivots around and tosses shield to the air, then delivers a two-handed broad swipe that unleashes a red energy wave forward. Once the attack is done, Lu Lingqi quickly catches her shield before resuming her default fighting stance. Inflicts slash damage and is derived from the sword and shield's sixth charge attack in the eighth game.
Musou Attack: Circle: Runs forward continuously and delivers a series of looping slices from left to right. Lu Lingqi proceeds to lift her victims to the air via diagonal swipe before tossing up her shield and scattering the fallen targets with a wide batting strike. As Lu Lingqi's enemies are slowly suspended in the air from the aftermath of the blow, she catches her shield once it quickly comes down, causing time to revert back to normal. Each hit is imbued with the slash element.
Aerial Musou Attack: X Circle: Lands a harsh downward strike that causes foes below to immediately scatter while inflicting them with slash-based damage. Works well for instantly thinning out crowds to further isolate enemy officers.
Horse Maneuvers
Summon Horse: L2: Summon horse to the battlefield. Holding L2 as the horse approaches will allow the character to automatically mount them.
Auto-Run: Riding Mode + L2: Automatically runs towards a specified destination. If a destination has not been set, the horse will instead run towards the location of the player's currently selected mission.
Sprint: Riding Mode + Direction + R1: Causes horse to run at a faster pace. Doing so depletes their stamina each time.
Jump: Riding Mode + Direction + R2: Causes horse to jump high while running.
Horse Fast Attack: Riding Mode + Square: Performs a fast and seamless attack while mounted. The attack itself varies depending on what type of weapon is equipped and whether the enemy is grounded or airborne.
Horse Trigger Attack: Riding Mode + Triangle: Performs an attack that sends enemies flying into the air. May vary depending on what type of weapon is equipped.
Horse Musou Attack: Riding Mode + Circle: Causes horse to sprint by consuming Musou instead of stamina.
Dismount Horse: Riding Mode + X: Dismounts from horse and resumes default fighting stance.
Bow Maneuvers
Shooting Mode: 🡻: Pulls out bow and assumes archery stance. Can be cancelled by tapping 🡻 again.
Switch Arrows: 🡸 or 🡺: Switches between different types of arrows.
Bow Attack: Shooting Mode + Square: Fires current arrow at a target. Can lock on targets by tapping R3.
Lower Bow: Shooting Mode + X: Lowers bow while squatting down.
