Many players often pair her up with officers who have devastating specials like Mitsunari Ishida and Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Rare Musou Skill - Despair (絶気): ZL or Y + B: Depletes the Musou gauge of nearby enemy officers completely.

Musou Attack: A: Diaochan performs Silver Lotus as their ground Musou attack.

Musou Rush: Hold A: Diaochan duels an enemy officer through one of several mini-games that tests their individual reflexes against one another. Should the opponent lose, Diaochan will fling the opponent into the air with an upward pirouette slash before unleashing two spin slashes with the second one generating a radial shockwave. She then follows it up with another spin attack done while sliding before launching the target up again via upward swing. The attack ends with Diaochan doing an ascending pirouette slash while surrounded by a large pink whirlwind helping propel her to the air. If the opponent wins, Diaochan will tumble back on the ground without hurting their target. This also happens after winning a Musou Rush mini-game initiated by the opponent. Can only be used if a hostile officer happens to be nearby.

Fighting Style

Her Online Z counterpart has some notable differences in her personal moveset compared to those used by chain whip wielders.

Due to the graphical limitations of the game, Diaochan's Musou attack has been made similar to Pang Tong's in terms of utility.

Special Attacks

Musou Attack: : Lu Bu performs Spirit Bomb as their ground Musou attack.

Normal Magic: R1 + : Flings Mjölnir forward towards the ground, emitting a powerful electric burst. Enemies sent airborne by this attack get struck by brief lightning bolts afterwards.

Charge Magic: R1 + : Jumps into the air and conjures a magic circle that calls down lightning to smite foes on a designated spot. Can be aimed by having a target appear on the ground via zoomed-in lock-on view.

Unique Magic: R1 + : Lu Bu charges Mjölnir with enough power to alter its size and appearance before leaping high into the air while shrouded in golden-colored energy. He then drops down and smashes the ground, triggering a thunderous explosion that leaves behind a large crater in its wakes. When under the effects of deification, he enlarges Mjölnir to the point of dwarfing him and swings it down on the earth, producing an electric fissure that easily knocks surrounding opponents to different directions.

Summon Magic: R1 + : Summons mount to Lu Bu's side.

Strong Attack 2: : Does a two-handed swing to the upper left that unleashes a funnel of dark energy forward.

Strong Attack 3: : Unleashes a series of round rightward swipes. Tap to add more swings while finishing the barrage by having Lu Bu rush towards the nearest foe, lift them up briefly, and smash their heads on the ground. The resulting impact produces a violent shockwave with red lightning surging outward. If Lu Bu fails to latch unto his target, he instead smashes his fist on the earth.

If the final grab misses, Lu Bu will instead slam down the halberd without leaving a quake behind.

Strong Attack 6: : Performs two criss-crossing slashes that release two dark red tornadoes, then lets out a fierce roar accompanied by a massive shockwave. Both tornadoes move forward at a considerable distance before merging together.

Normal Attack 1: : Hits enemies with a swing to the right, a leftward cut, an overhead slash to the front, and a wide rightward swipe.

Unique Attacks

Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Standing + : Launches a horizontal swip to the right, then produces a strong quake by stomping the ground and releasing a war cry. This move is derived from his second EX attack in Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends.

Lu Bu then smashes his victim's body on the ground, causing them to fly up while triggering a powerful tremor.

Musou Attack: : Delivers wide alternating slashes with the first one aimed at the upper right and the second one directed to the left.

Base Game

Dong Zhuo is affiliated with the flail in this title. When equipped with it, Dong Zhuo can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

Unique Attacks

Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Stunned + : Dong Zhuo's finisher has him trigger a thermal explosion on the ground via flail slam. Despite its fiery appearance, this move does not actually set enemies on fire. However, it can be used to set up aerial flow attacks.

Special Technique: R1 + : Does a sumo stomp that causes poison sludge to radially splash around the area.

Musou Attack: : Rotates flail around continuously in a counterclockwise motion. Dong Zhuo stops to strike the ground with an overhead swing before resuming his rotating attack which now has him surrounded within a circle of dusty wind. He then proceeds to end the attack by throwing his flail forward as if it was an iron shot. The momentum from Dong Zhuo's continuous spin bolsters the thrown flail's trajectory speed, enabling it to dart a considerable distance while emitting dark-colored energy. Each part of the finisher is imbued with the slash attribute.

Aerial Musou Attack: : Throws a large ball of evil spirits down on the ground, producing a fiery explosion that sends foes below airborne while burning them at the same time. Heavily based on Dong Zhuo's Black Hole Musou attack from previous installments.

Main Attacks

Charge Attack 1: : Plants staff on the ground, causing it to create a transparent wall while splitting into two. Enemies that bump into the wall receive damage while having their guard broken.

Charge Attack 2: : Smacks enemies to the air while facing away from them.

Charge Attack 3: : Levitates staff to the air, then manipulates it into speeding back towards Zhang Jiao while stunning foes blocking its way.

Charge Attack 4: : Conjures a stream of fire to the left and right, knocking away foes while setting them ablaze. If Zhang Jiao is equipped with his fifth weapon in Xtreme Legends, the stream of fire gets altered into electric currents.

Charge Attack 5: : Launches foes up high via ascending horizontal smack. Tap again to have Zhang Jiao follow up the move with an aerial staff bash to the right. Inflicts fire elemental damage if Zhang Jiao is equipped with his fourth weapon.

Charge Attack 6: : Shoots a fireball that sets foes on fire. Tap repeatedly to launch additional fireballs in a row. If Zhang Jiao is equipped with his fifth weapon in Xtreme Legends, the fireballs are replaced by lightning projectiles.

Normal Attack 1: : Does a turning swipe that has the user face the rear, then thrusts staff from behind before delivering an upward spin swipe and downward smack to the front.

Normal Attack 2: : Similar to the first normal attack string, but adds another downward smack to the combo.

Normal Attack 3: : Similar to the second normal attack string, but includes an inward swing to the right.

Musou Attacks

Musou Attack: : Shoots out several fireballs in a row, then finishes the assault with a stream of fire spewing from staff. Though Zhang Jiao remains stationary for the duration of the attack, the trajectory of the fireballs can be manually aimed. If Zhang Jiao is equipped with his fifth weapon in Xtreme Legends, the fires produced by this attack become lightning currents instead.

True Musou Attack: Low Health + : Similar to the normal Musou animation, but has Zhang Jiao release two streams of fire (or lightning if equipped with his fifth weapon) rather than just one.

Auxiliary Attacks

Dash Attack: Dashing + : Slides forth with staff held in front and body arched back, knocking nearby foes aside.

Jump Attack: : Hurls staff downward while leaping in the air.

Power Guard: L1 + : Pushes an attacking enemy back to create some distance from them.

Horse Normal Attack: : Telekinetically swings staff to the right and left repeatedly.

Horse Musou Attack: : Unleashes Musou-powered swipes while riding horse.

Bow Attacks

Normal Shot: Hold R1 + : Shoots a normal arrow.

Charge Shot: Hold R1 + : Fires a charged shot that dazes the target.

Musou Shot: Hold R1 + : Unleashes a Musou-powered arrow that knocks enemies down. Can fire multiple shots rapidly so long as the user has enough Musou.

Fighting Style

Zhang Jiao fights using a staff that can channel fire magic. He fights erratically, reminiscent of a non-human primate, and gives off a sharp, high-pitched battle cry. He is one of the most difficult characters to use, with few adequate crowd clearing moves and poor defense values. He also lacks any crashing knockback attacks to scatter foes.

However, Zhang Jiao can be good for situations where fire is very effective, such as gradually chipping away health. His fourth charge attack in closed spaces and corners can rack up godly damage if aimed right, and his Musou attack is good for crowd clearing as well.

Musou Attacks

Musou Attack: : Shoots out several fireballs in a row, then finishes the assault with a stream of fire spewing from staff. Unlike in the previous game, the fireballs are harder to aim this time around due to Zhang Jiao changing positions at a more gradual pace. Also, the flamethrower effect for the normal Musou no longer inflicts fire damage.

True Musou Attack: Low Health + : Similar to the normal Musou animation, but has Zhang Jiao release two streams of fire rather than just one.

Auxiliary Attacks

Dash Attack: Dashing + : Slides forth with staff held in front and body arched back, knocking nearby foes aside.

Fighting Style

Meng Huo is a very slow attacker and runner, often forcing players to find means to fix his weaknesses. His attack power is perhaps equal to or even higher than Lu Bu's, though it is risky to face large crowds in harder battles without coming prepared. His Musou attack is powerful, yet it is balanced out by his small Musou gauge which can be rectified by equipping a high-leveled Dragon Amulet.

Warriors Orochi

Modified Attacks

Charge Attack 1: : This move can only conjure an ice orb now. In the sequel, it becomes a fire orb instead.

Charge Attack 4: : Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, but can no longer inflict elemental damage. This is rectified in the sequel.

Charge Attack 6: : Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, though the second input attack has been changed into a fiery explosion.

Jump Charge: : Instead of gliding down with flames surrounding Zuo Ci, he hurls five energy waves flying at random directions. The sequel has him release three shadow spheres instead.

New Attacks

Special Attack 1: R1: Sends out five shadow spheres traveling in a fan arc. Enemies struck by them will be made more vulnerable to incoming attacks for 30 seconds. Does not consume Musou. In the original version, this attack suffered from a bug which made it affect both allies and horses as well.

Special Attack 2: Direction + R1: Zuo Ci unleashes a surge of mystical energy while sticking the talismans near his forehead. It bestows him with a buff that heightens his attack power and hit speed. Tapping immediately will have him rear back before delivering a fierce punch infused with enough power to send foes flying. Does not consume Musou. The sequel nerfs this move by making it slower in execution and lessening its damage output.

Aerial Thrust: : Zuo Ci spins forward in mid-air, enabling him to jump cancel attacks or travel further.

Team Abilities

Ability 1 - Acclaim: Increases experience points gained.

Ability 2 - Potence: Increases the team's attack.

Ability 3 - Focus: Increases the team's Musou.

Ability 4 - Technique: Increases attack of Technique-type characters.

Triple Attack 2: Low Health + L2 + R2 + : Releases several lightning bolts simultaneously.

Triple Attack 3: Low Health + L2 + R2 + : Unleashes bolts of lightning radiating from Zuo Ci while levitating in the air.

Triple Attack Finisher: Zuo Ci revolves his talismans around to juggle foes before bombarding them with laser beams shot at a radial pattern just like his fourth charge attack. As the whole team finishes up, a bright pillar of light generates at the intersection of their attack range and engulfs the surrounding area. Enemies caught by the blast sustain massive damage while being flung to the air and set on fire.

Strategy - Shield: Increases the defense of the allied commander.

Warriors Orochi 3

Zuo Ci retains his weapon moveset from Dynasty Warriors 5 albeit with some changes and additions.

Changed Attacks

Charge Attack 1: : Sends out a fire orb, though it can now pass through walls.

Musou Attack: : While this move retains the same animation as before, it can no longer be prolonged by holding like before.

Jump Charge: : Though the animation for this move remains unchanged, it now produces three wind orbs that can interact with destructible objects.

Team Abilities

Ability 1 - Regeneration: Accelerates Musou recovery while inactive.

Ability 2 - Impulse: Increases speed for all team members. Only available in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate.

Special Attacks

Musou Attack: : Zuo Ci performs Bound Deck as their ground Musou attack.

Counter Attack/Break Guard: Counter + L1 + : Quickly swats away an enemy's attack, causing them to stagger briefly.

Assist Attack: Counter + L1 or R1: Zuo Ci performs the fourth charge attack to assist a teammate while surrounded within an updraft of wind for extra coverage.

Grounded Type Action: R1: Zuo Ci readies his deck to levitate while doing a praying focus gesture, then thrusts forward his left palm as the cards float upward in a conal pattern. The sudden impact is enough to send nearbt foes flying while the cards fly back to Zuo Ci's hand afterwards.

Midair Type Action: R1: Rushes forward at a descending angle with cards moving in a spiral, then conjures a field of purple mystic energy upon landing to launch foes.

Shift Step: Direction + L1 + : Performs a sidestep strafe primarily used for evasive purposes. Can be canceled into an instant dash attack by tapping while in shift step position. In Ultimate, pressing upon being hit will cause the user to automatically back away from their attacker.

Normal Strategy Card: Purifier (呪詛解除; lit. "Curse Removal"): Dispels any added attributes or status ailments the current officer has. Works best when paired up with Special cards that inflict status conditions on both player and opponent.

Golden Strategy Card: Curse Lifter (禁呪解放; lit. "Forbidden Spell Unleashed"): Removes the player's CT state, enabling them to use their cards again provided they have enough BP.

Team Attacks

Triple Rush 1: Produces a mobile shockwave traveling forth by aligning each talisman card together to form a chained link.

Triple Rush 2: Causes talisman cards to rapidly revolve around Zuo Ci continuously.

Triple Rush 3: Manipulates all five talisman cards to encircle in front of Zuo Ci to send down a massive energy wave.

Unique Triple Rush: If Zuo Ci is partnered with Kanetsugu Naoe and Seimei Abe, he will be able to perform a unique triple rush attack alongside them. For his part, Zuo Ci creates a large yin yang field to juggle foes for a bit.

Fighting Style

Available after unlocking every character in the game, Zuo Ci is considered the strongest character in terms of moveset and stats. He mainly uses a deck of talisman cards to harness elemental magic to his will. As a result, he is a very effective crowd clearer and officer slayer. His most notable attacks are his third to sixth charge attacks. For some players, conjuring fire or ice spheres with his first charge can give Zuo Ci some room to initiate one of his other charge attacks.

Despite his advantages, he can be easily interrupted by enemies within massive crowds, so giving him a light weapon can help mitigate that. Alternatively, players may opt to equip him with a heavy weapon in Xtreme Legends due to the weight type's anti-flinching properties. His normal Musou attack is almost as good as his True Musou, meaning he won't have much use for the Way of the Musou even in harder battles.

When controlled by the AI in Dynasty Warriors 5, most of Zuo Ci's charge attacks will be imbued with the light element by default.

He retains much of the same quirks from the base game in the Warriors Orochi series, though these can be fixed with the right combination of weapon attributes and team abilities. Due to being a speed-type character in the first two games, he can easily execute multiple combos while canceling them at any time. His special attacks should be employed liberally as they do not consume Musou.

The next two sequels nerf him considerably for balancing purposes, though he is still a formidable character when played right.

Base Game

Zuo Ci is affiliated with the talisman cards in this title. When equipped with it, Zuo Ci can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

EX Attack 1: : Performs a variation of Zuo Ci's old special directional attack from the first two Warriors Orochi games in which he charges up mystic power before delivering a fierce punch that knocks foes into the air. It also grants him a temporary buff that increases his attack power, hit speed, and movement speed. Note that performing this move will override the effects of his weapon moveset's second charge finisher.

EX Attack 2: : Zuo Ci swats his cards forward and downward to fire a purple laser beam that pierces through enemy lines as it travels within a straight trajectory. Introduced in Xtreme Legends.

Musou Attack - Bound Deck (結符; lit. "Binding Charms"): : Paces forth while surrounded by revolving talismans that eventually scatter in different directions to create a shockwave. Acts very similar to Zuo Ci's original Musou Attack.

Alternate Musou Attack - Triple Deck (剛符三連衛; lit. "Rigid Charms Triple Chain Guard"): R1 + : Grapples the closest enemy and knocks them back with a talisman after-image combo. Has a different effect if the grabbing motion fails.

Aerial Musou Attack - Chaotic Deck (乱符; lit. "Turbulent Charms"): : Causes talismans to swarm in various directions before launching a ball of mystic energy on the ground.

Rage Attack: Zuo Ci surrounds himself within a pair of magically chained talismans that repeatedly intersect with one another as he walks forward. In the end, he gathers the talismans back and causes them to spin around him at full-speed, producing a powerful radial shockwave in the process.

True Rage Attack: By performing 100 or more hits during his Rage attack, Zuo Ci will change his attack pattern by reshaping the talisman cards into a large vertical ring used for tackling foes and releasing gusts of wind continuously. It ends with him altering their movements once more to resemble a wave-like halo for the purpose of lifting surviving opponents up into the air.

Base Game

Lu Lingqi is affiliated with the sword and shield and crossed pike in this title. When equipped with them, Lu Lingqi can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

Unique Attacks

Unique Flow Attack Finisher (Sword and Shield): Enemy Airborne + : Drops down to the ground and hits it with a powerful slicing motion, releasing a large mobile shockwave traveling forward. Staggers and dazes nearby foes, though it has the potential to serve as a launching attack depending on the terrain's elevation.

Unique Flow Attack Finisher (Crossed Pike): Enemy Downed + : Lu Lingqi finishes up her downed flow attack by doing a clockwise spin slash and unleashing a violent funnel of energy similar to her father's Spirit Bomb Musou attack from previous titles.

Unique Trigger Attack (Sword and Shield): R1 + : Does a tilting spin before throwing shield vertically like a boomerang, causing enemies near Lu Lingqi to be flung into the air. The motion itself is based more on the crossed pike moveset's fourth charge attack from Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends.

Unique Trigger Attack (Crossed Pike): R1 + : Does two pivoting swipes in varying angles before tossing weapon forward like a boomerang, stunning foes within range. The trajectory of the crossed pike can be redirected. Additional button inputs will automatically imbue the attack with the slash element.

Special Technique: R1 + : Pivots around and tosses shield to the air, then delivers a two-handed broad swipe that unleashes a red energy wave forward. Once the attack is done, Lu Lingqi quickly catches her shield before resuming her default fighting stance. Inflicts slash damage and is derived from the sword and shield's sixth charge attack in the eighth game.

Musou Attack: : Runs forward continuously and delivers a series of looping slices from left to right. Lu Lingqi proceeds to lift her victims to the air via diagonal swipe before tossing up her shield and scattering the fallen targets with a wide batting strike. As Lu Lingqi's enemies are slowly suspended in the air from the aftermath of the blow, she catches her shield once it quickly comes down, causing time to revert back to normal. Each hit is imbued with the slash element.
