Lu Guan

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Lu Guan was originally an ordinary college student on Earth. After a strange message appeared while he was playing Wuthering Waves, he died of cardiac arrest and was reborn as Yu Lan’s unborn child. He retained his previous name and memories. Solaris’s planetary will later revealed that she had deliberately transported his soul and arranged his birth; Lu Guan declined compensation, saying he was grateful for the chance to live a more exciting life 1 28 29.

His father, Lu Yi, is the Lu family head and a senior agriculture official. He chose the name “Guan” to express a broad outlook, clear thinking, and observation of the world, hoping his son would eventually serve the public through the Ming Court. Lu Guan instead became notorious for experiments with his uncontrollable ability 1.

A childhood Mahoraga summoning injured the Sentinel Jué and contributed to Lu Yi’s demotion. Another experiment—using a fan made from Yangyang’s feathers to “borrow the east wind”—combined with a typhoon to create a colossal vortex near the Ming Court. Huanglong’s leaders consequently arranged his education at Stardust Academy, hoping he could master his power without causing further disasters at home 3.

Appearance

• Handsome features: Described as good-looking from childhood; Suisui remarks that he has grown from a handsome boy into a handsome man 1 2.
• White hair: His hair turns deathly white during Overclocking and remains white afterward; he tells Yangyang that it is not dyed 27 31.
• Right-palm Tacet Mark: His mark burns during major power activations. Overclocking causes inscriptions to spread from it across his body 2 27.
• Lean, muscular build: Visible when he returns shirtless from fighting Jué 82.

Personality

Lu Guan is outgoing, irreverent, and fond of teasing people. He casually befriends an interrogating chiliarch, steals a staff meal on his way out of custody, and repeatedly provokes Yangyang with embarrassing childhood memories. His theatrical battle dialogue is also functional: quotations, poses, and dramatic situations help activate his authority 2 3 32.

His approach to combat is deliberately underhanded. He feigns death, manipulates activation conditions, cancels attack preparation, and lets summons occupy opponents while he pursues other objectives. He has little interest in granting enemies a fair contest, but distinguishes them from people who have helped him and treats his teachers with genuine respect 16 19 51 64 81.

Despite the system’s romance mechanics, he resists treating life entirely as a galgame. He rejects completing Dania’s quest secretly while she sleeps and hesitates over an oath whose affection-locking effect does not resolve his concerns about betrayal. He later openly acknowledges that physical attraction drew him to her before their relationship developed into love 9 18 73.

His protectiveness can become extreme brutality. During the Wang Family confrontation, he spares hired guards who show no hostility, but later kills all ninety-six people in the estate after discovering its Fractsidus connection. The narration also identifies his intense aversion to people he considers foolish. Separately, Dania learns that his cheerful manner conceals resentment accumulated during an unhappy childhood 45 64 65.

Abilities & Skills

Command All Things with Words

Lu Guan’s authority produces buffs, techniques, or summoned entities when his words match an appropriate atmosphere or situation. Its source is Solaris’s planetary will 1 28.

• Situational activation: Initially requires a strong atmosphere supplied by external circumstances. At 10% development, he can generate simpler atmospheres himself 3.
• Borrowed powers: Can reproduce abilities associated with other fictional works, though their efficiency and strength initially fall short of the originals 3 10.
• Accidental triggers: Ordinary remarks can activate dangerous effects. “Leave it to me” triggers Dimensional Drift, while a farewell remark produces an uncontrollable black energy sphere 4 6.
• Potential: Its early description suggests that sufficiently developed commands could eventually become law; this is potential, not a demonstrated unrestricted capability 1.
• Energy limits: Powerful techniques initially exhaust his small reserves, and excessive use causes unconsciousness. Resonance stimulants of every tested grade fail to help him 10 14.
• Development imbalance: Increasing development without matching control causes violent energy surges. His Binding Vow converts the uncontrollable portion into efficiency and energy capacity 48 49.

Offensive Techniques

Mahoraga

Mahoraga is an adaptive summoned fighter whose early appearances are dangerous to allies as well as enemies 3 19 80.

• Initial conditions: Lu Guan can summon it when placed under pressure; the untamed version attacks indiscriminately 3 80.
• Adaptive regeneration: Recovers from severe wounds and adjusts to an opponent’s attacks and fighting style 80 81.
• Tactical use: Lu Guan lets it engage major enemies while he withdraws, strengthens himself, or searches for another target 19 81.
• Tamed summoning: At 40% development, he can summon a version that fights alongside him as a genuine ally 80.
• Limits: Napomo defeats an earlier manifestation. Later narration establishes that completely annihilating the summon would prevent its continuing regeneration 19 81.

Time and Action Manipulation

• The World: Manifests a humanoid Stand and apparently stops surrounding time, leaving Lu Guan and the Stand able to move 80.
• King Crimson: Erases time, allowing him to evade attacks and position powerful strikes against Jué’s avatar 81.
• “I've had enough of these formalities!”: Cancels the previous move’s recovery and removes the next move’s startup, allowing immediate follow-up attacks 16.
• Domain counter: Saying “The best way to counter a domain is with Domain Expansion!” lets him deploy a domain against an enemy’s domain-like ability. He demonstrates Unlimited Void against simulated Hecate 16.

Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation

An exceptional formation comprising the Immortal-Slaying, Immortal-Butchering, Immortal-Trapping, and Immortal-Ending swords 27.

• Seals Aleph-1 within the affected space, preventing escape even as a higher-dimensional Threnodian 27.
• Normally exceeds Lu Guan’s energy capacity, regardless of whether the correct atmosphere exists 27.
• Requires Overclocking and outside replenishment to sustain during the Aleph-1 battle 27.
• Remains far weaker and shorter-lived than the formation depicted in Investiture of the Gods 27.

Mobility and Healing

• Dimensional Drift: Enters a dimensional rift through an ability associated with Yoru from VALORANT 6.
• Spatial evasion: Uses rifts to avoid attacks, though Jué’s avatar successfully kicks him out of one 81.
• Polar Reversal: Evades the Goat-Headed Wolf while maneuvering it into a cave 43.
• Flight: Crosses the Stormy Ocean using a simple form of flight to conserve Resonance Power 77.
• Healing oranges: Produces oranges that cure Shen Lang’s seasickness and Chiliarch Zhao’s hidden injuries 4.
• Self-recovery: Quickly heals a facial wound against Balanophora and later repairs severe internal injuries inflicted by Jué 64 81.

Conquest / Walkthrough System

The system rewards increased affection from playable Wuthering Waves characters and provides tools for tracking relationships 1 17.

• Affection profiles: Displays affection values and characters’ current opinions of him 37.
• Milestone rewards: Grants ability development, control, or energy improvements through relationship progress 13 18 48 76.
• Recollection Room: Replays unlocked CGs, including events Lu Guan did not consciously witness 11.
• Oaths: Establish a minimum affection value of 100 that will not decrease because of his actions 18.
• Bond effects: Unlocks linked-character bonds, including Peerless Best Friends between Dania and Sigelika; Sigelika’s affection can rise through his bond with Dania 24 60.
• Purpose: Its hidden mastermind explains that the system gives him reasons to pursue relationships and urges him to act faster because time is running out 67.

Desolation Detection and Suppression

• Detection: Senses the presence of Desolation near Norfall Barrens 47.
• Exorcism: Removes its influence from a contaminated dagger and later supplies Shorekeeper with an exorcised remnant for analysis 53 57.
• Blood suppression: Feeding Chisa his blood temporarily eases her mental erosion; she estimates the protection will last about three days 53.
• Underlying problem: Sora explains that Desolation can create or corrupt Sonoros, and that eliminating it requires destroying what it controls and exposing its source 41.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Book of fables: Summons fable characters by consuming Resonance Power; their strength depends on the energy invested. It becomes entirely his property and can be given to another user 44.
• Jinhsi’s alliance token: Allows free travel within Jinzhou and enables him to call for assistance 47.
• Pacification Bureau Token: Granted on the Magistrate’s authority after the Wang Family massacre 65.
• Lady Xu’s Dagger: Sent by Professor Mornye and delivered by Lynae before his departure for Jinzhou 76.
• Summoned weapons: Uses bows, crossbows, a swift blade, and a golden sniper rifle rather than relying on a single permanent weapon 43 64 65.

Relationships

• Lu Yi — Father and head of the Lu family. Their constant bickering masks paternal concern; years of stopping dangerous chants have given him an exceptionally fast reflex for covering Lu Guan’s mouth 1 3 62 63.
• Yu Lan — Mother and the Lu family matriarch. Affectionate and protective, she approves of Dania and tells Lu Guan never to let her down 1 63.
• Suisui — Older female cousin and president of the Zhaoming Chamber of Commerce. Pays his bail after the shipwreck and exchanges teasing compliments with him 2 3.
• Yangyang — Older female cousin and childhood companion. Their quarrels involve her plucked feathers and a childhood remark about marrying someone like her. Despite teasing her relentlessly, he becomes fiercely protective when she is injured 3 78 79 86.
• Dania — Romantic partner. His defense of her against Aleph-1, the Fractsidus, and the Deep Space Union drives several major conflicts. He eventually promises to love her regardless of how she changes 27 47 51 73.
• Sigelika — Junior and later romantic partner. She invents a rune-searching excuse to spend time alone with him, then begins openly dating him; she and Dania eventually negotiate how to divide his time 67 73 75.
• Chisa — Teacher assigned to help him control his ability. Analyzes its weaknesses and glimpses possible disastrous futures; he later suppresses her Desolation contamination with his blood 9 10 53.
• Lacerta — Academy principal and supporter. Oversees his training, defends Dania’s place at the academy, and authorizes his departure to help Jinzhou 14 53 76.
• Lu Hes — Academy doctor. Treats his training-related exhaustion and receives notably respectful behavior from him 14 51.
• Sora / Solaris’s planetary will — Arranged his reincarnation and serves as his resonance source. Describes herself as his mother in a sense; he challenges that claim but offers to help her resist Desolation 28 29 41.
• Shorekeeper — Ally in protecting Dania and investigating Desolation. Agrees to share Tethys simulations and later alerts him to Jué’s approaching awakening 47 57 76.
• Changli — Family acquaintance who held him as a child. Uses her intelligence network to follow his academy activities and vouches for him and Dania at Jinzhou’s gate 32.
• Jinhsi — Magistrate who attempts to recruit him and grants him an alliance token. Changli’s accounts of his progress previously made him a role model for her 35 47.
• Jiyan — Military collaborator. Receives Lu Guan’s proposal for a two-person decapitation operation, then obtains intelligence from his solo reconnaissance battle 79 83.
• Napomo — Fractsidus enemy who impersonates his dark side. Offers him an overseer-level position after witnessing his tactics; he refuses 18 19.
• Wang Family — Connected to an old childhood engagement that its members attempt to revive for political advantage. The dispute culminates in Lu Guan destroying the family after encountering its Fractsidus associate 62 63 64 65.
