Note: This playthrough uses a relatively recently discovered patch, which disables the auto lock-on system that normally locks the player onto the first enemy they hit with a normal attack, making it impossible to turn afterwards. (see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHUzuyzu1k4)

----------------
The grand finale (but not really).
Liu Bei is quite solid. C3 is nice and horizontal, and C6 is a 360-degree shockwave attack.
Musou attack is six hits, with a three-hit finisher, so against playable officers, it's better to end the attack earlier. The second hit of the finisher lifts the enemy into the air, so 4 hits + finisher works best.
True Musou lifts the enemies into the air as well, but overall the attack is quite long, so the fire element can deal some good damage as well.

Unlike Cao Cao's busted unique weapon, Liu Bei is the candidate for the worst unique weapon instead. No element, and five stats, only one of which is any good: Speed (the rest is Musou Max, Mounted Attack, Mounted Defense, and Luck)
No attack bonus, no defense bonus, and actively makes the game harder by increasing the musou gauge.
And so naturally I just kept using the third weapon I had.

Just like Sun Jian and Cao Cao, Liu Bei gets 10 stages, so the difficulty goes up slower than for the others with 7 stages.

The unique weapon is at Yiling, with the simple requirement to defeat Sun Shangxiang, and the weapon box spawns in the Wu camp.


This playthrough marks the end of the Story Mode playthroughs, with every character being cleared, and all of them also having obtained their unique weapons.
However, the Other group characters are still missing their weapons, so we're not done quite yet.
