― Han Sung-Gong[source]
Xiang Yu,[1] also known as the "Hegemon King" [1] and referred to as the "Strongest Warrior of Giga",[2] was a member of the Giga Empire. He was a member of Han Sung-Gong's closest aides, The 12 Generals. Among those 12 Generals, he was one of the aces.[1] He is the first known player to hold dual Personal Traits, an ability he acquired from Giga's experiments. He was also the guardian of Charming Castle.[3]
Xiang Yu was chosen as Giga's representative to battle for the alliance leadership. He battled Dark Land's Heart Heater and even overpowered the dragon knight. Xiang Yu was defeated by The Dragon of Evil, who had completely taken over Heart Heater's body. Eventually, Xiang Yu's head was eaten by Dragon of Evil, leading to his character being permanently deleted from the game.[4]

Relationships
Han Sung-Gong
Xiang Yu is a direct subordinate and one of the aces of Han Sung-Gong. According to Han Sung-Gong, Xiang Yu has never once disappointed him which led him to being one of his favourite generals.
Heart Heater
Xiang Yu and Heart Heater dueled for the title of Captain for their leaders. Xiang Yu insulted when he noticed Heart Heater was underestimating him. Nevertheless, Xiang Yu was able to overwhelmingly defeat Heart Heater and would've killed him so were it not for the intervention of the Dragon of Evil.
Dragon of Evil
Xiang Yu feared the Dragon of Evil who had possessed Heart Heater but immediately came back to his senses when Han Sung-Gong shouted his orders. Xiang Yu knew that he was no match for the Dragon of Evil and the vast difference between the two of them but he pressed on regardless. When the Dragon of Evil fully possessed Heart Heater, Xiang Yu sensed an overwhelming dread and greatly feared him once again. When the Dragon of Evil asked him a question, Xiang Yu tried to submit as he thought the Dragon of Evil wanted to see him kneel but this was the wrong answer which led him to being devoured by the Dragon of Evil, deleting his character permanently from Lucid Adventure.

Even the watcher of the world, and arguably the strongest being in the whole game, the Dragon of Evil, found Xiang Yu interesting.[6]
Xiang Yu was able to evenly fight with Heart Heater, even after the latter used Dragon Mana.[5] Xiang Yu's prowess in combat is so high that Heart Heater was forced to use the Dragon of Evil's mana for the first time in decades.[5][6] Even with the aid of the Dragon of Evil's Mana, Heart Heater could not defeat Xiang Yu.[6] In fact, were it not for the direct interference of the Dragon of Evil, Xiang Yu would have killed Heart Heater.[6][7] The caveat to Xiang Yu is that he has special abilities that make him adept at fighting Dragons.[6]
Spearmanship: Xiang Yu is extremely adept at using his Spear. He was able to match Heater blow for blow in close combat and even said that he could not feel that much power from Heart Heater's sword. Using his spear, Xiang Yu can jump to great heights and can even avoid Heart Heater's Dragon's Claw from close range. The force from Xiang Yu's spear attack was strong enough to push Heart Heater's feet into the ground and create a mini crater.[5]

Double Personal Attributes
- Main Articles: Double Attributes
After opening Double Attributes, Xiang Yu is able to use Lu Bu's personal attribute and his personal attribute at the same time. Xiang Yu is the first player shown using dual personal attributes. It is one of Giga's new technology.[7]
Giga had a top secret project where they copied and overlayed personal attributes on top of each other. The success rate of that top secret project was below 0.1%, but the first successful case was born out of the odds was Xiang Yu. When Lu Bu was at Giga, he took a part in different tests and experiments. Dark theorizes that this technology had similarities to Nightmare[7]
After opening the double personal attribute, Xiang Yu grows a pair of black horns with the motif of the real Lu Bu's pheasant tails.[7] A giant Avatar that looks like a combination of Lu Bu and Xiang Yu is behind Xiang Yu. The giant Avatar is controlled by Xiang Yu and wields a sword of its own.[7][9]

- Five-Pronged Attack: After pushing his items and overlapping his skills, Xiang Yu is capable of utilising a powerful five pronged attack. Xiang Yu was even able to add tracking magic to this attack, which allowed the five-pronged attack to home in on the Dragon of Evil Controlled Heart Heater after it was deflected.[7]
- Xiang Yu's Deadly Attack: Xiang Yu desperately put his all into into a deadly strike in hopes of the attack reaching The Dragon of Evil. Xiang Yu's avatar wielding it's giant blue sword delivers a powerful blow to the target. The strike is so powerful that it caused a massive explosion that pushed back the observers of the duel who were standing quite far away. The skill created a massive crater in the earth. The skill was so powerful that the blowback from it caused Xiang Yu himself damage and destroyed his Sword and Gauntlets, leaving him exhausted. The blow was so powerful that had The Dragon of Evil not covered Heart Heater's body with his scales, Heart Heater would have disappeared without a trace.[9]
Overwhelming Attack Speed: Xiang Yu's attack speed was incredibly fast as he was able to strike both Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi, who moved at an incredible speed that they appeared as a streak of light, at the same time and defeated them in one hit without seeming to have moved an inch of his body.[10]
Incredible Defense: Xiang Yu is able to defend against multiple attacks from the three high rankers, Miyamoto Musashi, Sasaki Kojiro, and Beast Form Im Kkeokjeong all at the same time. [10]

History
Hardcore Leveling Warrior Season 2
Summit Arc
After it is decided by the 4 Guild Leaders that a duel between Giga and Dark Land will decide the alliance Leader, Han Sung-Gong picks Xiang Yu to represent Giga in the duel.[1]
Xiang Yu confidently steps up and changes to his combat gear. He cracks his fingers to indicate his readiness. Dacon is summoned to referee the fight between him and Heart Heater. They both start to fight and charged at each other head on. Xiang Yu gives Heart Heater a compliment regarding his powers as Heart Heaters does the same for him.
After Heart Heater used the Dragon of Evil's mana, Xiang Yu remained undaunted and used his buffing skill, Strength Uproots Mountains, Spirit Covers World, immensely boosting his combat stats by fivefold. They both fight to a standstill until Xiang Yu broke it by using a clever strategy that fooled Heart Heater, using his spear as a distraction and dashing in to strike Heart Heater. Before Xiang Yu could even penetrate Heart Heater's heart, he trembled in fear when he felt the Dragon of Evil's watchful gaze and immediately backed away.
After the Dragon of Evil possessed Heart Heater, Xiang Yu was broken out of his fears by Han Sung-Gong's command and activated his Double Personal Attributes, combining his and Lu Bu's. Xiang Yu then relentlessly attacked the Dragon of Evil despite the latter destroying and dodging all of his skills and attacks. Xiang Yu attempts to finish the Dragon of Evil off with his ultimate attack but it proved for naught as the Dragon of Evil fully possessed Heart Heater's body and protected him with his scales.
Xiang Yu had been defeated but was asked a question by the Dragon of Evil if he was willing to fight on or give up. Xiang Yu had answered the Dragon of Evil with the second option and was instantly devoured, deleting him from the game forever by the Dragon of Evil for picking the wrong answer.
