Role in Games

Warriors Orochi

During Warriors Orochi 2 and Warriors Orochi Z, Wu Ji is one of the subordinate generals for the Mystics. He is named "Cygnus" in the English versions of the games and appears in Hinokawa. When Taigong Wang issues the petrification spell on Orochi's forces, Wu Ji is the sorcerer responsible for the spell. He needs to be defeated for the troops in the south to proceed. He follows Taigong Wang into Shu and appears in the later stages of the story.

For the Chi Bi dream stage in the latter title, he is the general positioned directly behind the player's start point. The player is given a mission to protect him in order to destroy the center boat between the human and supernatural armies.

Fengshen Yanyi

As the party nears Mount Shouyang, they are stopped by Wu Ji, a resident of a nearby village. He informs them about two troublesome bandits and asks for Taigong Wang's help. Taigong Wang agrees and follows Wu Ji, a woodcutter, to confront the bandits. The bandits, Tu Xing Sun and Long Xu Hu, turn out to be disciples from Kunlun who ran away from training but are not harmful. Wu Ji fights alongside Taigong Wang's party to subdue them and is impressed by Taigong Wang's spell casting abilities. Wu Ji asks to become Taigong Wang's disciple after the two renegades join the party. Taigong Wang initially mentions that he is still in training, but Deng Chanyu defends him. Taigong Wang recognizes the benefits of having the enthusiastic youth with them and agrees to let Wu Ji join their group.

After Ji Fa becomes ruler, Wu Ji, Tu Xing Sun, and Long Xu Hu return to their village together to resume their prosperous lives. Wu Ji asks Taigong Wang to visit him whenever possible.

Personality

Wu Ji is a cheerful and self-motivated man with a unique charm. He admires Taigong Wang's magic skills and calls him "Master". He used to think Tu Xing Sun and Long Xu Hu were villains, but now they are friends. Wu Ji and his friends have a simple brotherly bond. He is kind to Deng Chanyu, but sometimes she gets angry and makes bad food. Wu Ji is very strong because he used to climb mountains for work. People think he has a secret technique, but it's just a rumor.

Fighting Style

Wu Ji is one of the physically strongest party members. He can move the farthest (seven squares) and can traverse water at a quicker rate than other characters. As one of the fastest characters, he can act without much delay between his turns. His glaring fault is his magic proficiency, which is the weakest of the entire cast and limits his usefulness with spells. However, since he possesses a healing magic rating, he can use at least this class of magic to become a self-reliant hard hitter. His shortage of available equipment may bar him from the front lines yet, if the player judges his movements wisely, his natural strengths allow him to become one of the best close ranged fighters.
