Xiahou Dun + Lu Bu/Zhang Liao/Hua Xiong/Wen Chou: Xiahou Dun's Armored Cavalry greatly increases survivability for Heavy Cavalry.

Xiahou Dun + Cao Cao: Cao Cao can help increase Xiahou Dun’s survivability.

 

Recommended Formation: Xiahou Dun + Lu Bu + Guan Yu + Wen Chou + Diao Chan + Zhang Fei + Cao Cao + Huang Zhong

Reason for Recommendation: Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao match well with the power of Lu Bu and Wen Chou. Guan Yu is the strongest Light Cavalry hero, and Zhang Fei can be placed in front of Cao Cao to increase his survivability. After being defeated, Diao Chan will increase attack for all male heroes.  At the same time, Diao Chan can clone Lu Bu and continuously attack through the clone.
