There are 3 types. Red-Power (this gives you a stronger attack and charge as the renbu builds up. But the renbu takes longer to build.) Green-Range (this gets more range out of a built up renbu, the Renbu also builds up quicker, and the weapons swings slightly faster.) Blue-Speed (this one swings alot faster and gets a faster renbu build, but is hard to find a high weapon attack power.) Weapon Abilities ---------------- Real Musuo- Musou is always True musou no matter life Renbu Heart- Renbu harder to decrease Vacuum suck- During attacks, wind swirls around enemy Void Flash- Certain probabilty to get instant kills Drain Commander- HP goes up when hitting enemy generals Hard Lock- Weapon Lock advantage Deflect Arrow- While attacking arrows bounce off Spirit Seal- Elements are stronger Strength in Breath- Musou gage depletes faster but is stronger Water Formation- Attack stronger, defense weaker Getting the best 4th weapon --------------------------- HeiFei New Castle, HELL difficulty. 1P: MAXED LuBu or anyone you feel confident fighting with. 2P: the character you want get weapons for. (it could be a Lv1 character) Equip both of them a fast horse with ‘Acquire Weapon’. Start game, get 2P to ride to the pool in the middle, jump in and stay there. NO one would touch you while you are in water on a horse. 1P run straight to the boat where SunQuan is, there’s a HuaTuo Balm on the south side of the one boat east of SunQuan’s boat. Get that. Run to SunQuan and unleash your musou on him. If you use LuBu with a 90+ weapon with Ice element, One Flash, Spirit Seal, Real Ranbu and Vacuum wave, you would finish SunQuan in one Musou if you hit him every time. If not, just hit the crowd around you and you musou will fill instantly, hit him again. You should finish the stage in under 1 minute. All 3 objectives accomplished, you’d get 4 weapons for each character. ************************ Sec:2.5 SADDLE LOCATIONS ****************************************************************** * Yellow Turban Rebellion: * go to the southwest corner, there should be a narrow path by the * base.

Ya it sucks, but you can still get red hare. To Aquire the rare horses make sure you are playing with a character with the skill that gets you better horses and weapons. Then play a stage like Chang Ban, Hu Lao, Cheng Du, or Yellow Turban and break any pots you find in level to get another saddle. This highly increases your luck of getting a rare horse. When you get them, you are looking for beautiful eyes, and godly body in their description under the horses picture. Good Luck, all you can really do is keep trying! Once you get a red horse with both those descriptions, level him up with a person with the horse ability skill(like Lu Bu has) and at level 5.... Red Hare! Here are the exact methods for some of the rare horses NOTE**** You must use time trick for these First off, for a horse to be a rare horse, it must have the description "His eyes consider the world and has a heavenly physique". Key words here are Considers and Heavenly. There are 6 rare horses, one for each color. *************** Time Tricks ENGLISH VERSION *************** +RED HARE 08/04/2008 12:01 am battle of guan du, wei' force, easy 2 lvl 50s with lady luck both with horses with find saddle complete target 2 and 3. you will get a horse named ginger striker. save this horse and repeat the steps again (same time everything) you will now get red hare named ultimate dream the second time 379 312 142 203 +SHADOW RUNNER 03/01/2008 11:40 PM Shi Ting, Easy, Wei Side 2 lv 50 characters with open luck both with horses with find saddle Kill zhou fang with player 1, take weapon.

Saddle Crate locations Yellow Turban Rebellion - bottom left hand corner of the map on the cliff by the base. Guan Du - bottom left hand corner of the map right by the wall after jumping off the cliff. Shi Ting - by the southern entrance of the base in the center of the map. Leveling The maximum each stat can grow per level is... 39 for speed (minimum 344 for max) 49 for jump (minimum 304 for max) 94 for destruction (minimum 124 for max) 79 for attack (minimum 184 for max) Of course you are going to want higher than the minimum for a higher chance of having a max stat. Abilites that can be learned for each Level 2 - nothing Level 3 - Arrow Dance, Find Saddle, Find Weapon plus an element Level 4 - Renbu Gait, Musou Spirit Level 5 - Special Skill pertaining to horse color AND one of the other skills that hasn't been learned.

It is also possible to get an element on a different level assuming you did not get one at level 3. Thanks go to...

Here's how: (tested) OR ENGLISH: If you got consider the world, heavenly 1) Take your horse to free mode, GuanDu, Easy. Use a maxed character. Do not get off your horse until you kill 50-55 ppl. No less than 50, no more than 55. After you get your KO, get off the horse to avoid killing on the horse. Run straight to Yuan Shao and end the stage. You should acquire 1400 points and your horse is now Level 2. No properties or special ability are added. Good. 2) Take your lv 2 horse to free mode, GuanDu, Easy. Use a maxed character. Do not get off your horse until you kill 40-49 ppl. No less than 40, no more than 49. After you get your KO, get off the horse to avoid killing more on horse. Run straight to Yuan Shao and end the stage. Now your should have LESS than 3000 pts total and your horse will raise to Lv 3. NOW is the critial moment: there's a 50/50 chance that your horse will gain one property (random from ice, lightning and fire) and one special ability. (random from 'Arrow defense', 'Persuasion' and 'Acquire Weapon'). You want to make sure you get the property and the special ability you want right now before you save. So if you didn't get property and ability, don't save, press 'Start + Select' and repeat step 2. If the property and ability is not what you like, don't save, press 'Start + Select' and repeat step 2. Repeat until you get the combination you desired. I always go for ice property and 'arrow defense' 3) Now take your Lv3 horse with property and one special ability to free mode, GuanDu, Easy. Use a maxed character. Do not get off your horse until you kill as many as you want. (don't need to be precise anymore, but more than a 100 is good) After you get your KO, get off the horse to avoid killing more on horse. Run straight to Yuan Shao and end the stage. Now your horse will reach Lv4 and it'd acquire one special ability aside from the one you just got when you reach lv 2, random from 'Acquire weapon', 'Musou increase' and 'Ranbu maintain'. Make sure it's the property you want before you save. Otherwise, reset without save and repeat step 3. I always go for 'Ranbu Maintain' here. 4) Now take your Lv4horse with property and two special abilities to free mode, GuanDu, Easy. Use a maxed character. Do not get off your horse until you kill as many as you want. (don't need to be precise anymore, but more than a 100 is good) After you get your KO, get off the horse to avoid killing more on the horse. Run straight to Yuan Shao and end the stage. Now your horse will be maxed out to Lv 5. and you'll get 'Red Hare Spirit' PLUS another random ability. Make sure it's the one you want before you save. I like to make sure it's 'Musou Increase'. So here you go. Now a red hare with 'Arrow defense', 'Ranbu Maintain', 'Musou Increase' and 'Red Hare Spirit'. The rank of the horse will become Red Hare King and the horse's appearance will change to the huge beast Lubu rides in HuLaoGate. ### Other Notes ### Check the default stats M/G horses you have when you first get it. After much testing, we found out that the category of speed will inrease by 39 units MAXIMUM at each level up. the category of jump will inrease by 49 units MAXIMUM at each level up. the category of breakthrough will inrease by 94 units MAXIMUM at each level up. the category of attack will inrease by 79 units MAXIMUM at each level up. There'd be 4 level-ups until your horse stop growing. THEREFORE, in order to be sure your horse can actually have 500 in all 4 categories: Initial speed stat needs to be: 500 - 39 -39 - 39 -39 = 344 Initial jump stat needs to be: 500 - 49 - 49 -49 - 49 = 304 Initial breakthrough stat needs to be: 500 - 94 - 94 -94 -94 = 124 (140 preferred to To be on the safe side because chances are slim that you will get maximum growth margin of 94 every time.) Initial attack stat needs to be: 500 - 79 - 79 -79 -79 = 184 (200 prefered To be on the safe side because chances are slim that you are get maximum growth margin of 79 every time) ****************** Sec 4: SKILL TREE ****************** (note: due to some width restrictions on gamefaqs the right side will be continued on the next line for main growth line. But dont worry its all explained and I think you can see what happens. The "cont." is where it will leave off and you will see another "cont." where it continues. ---- NOTE ---- First I’ll explain what the Symbol "looks" like for those who cant read Kanji.

He helped in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was a Han Descendant. He later was defeated by Lu Bu and had to seek the aid of Cao Cao who came with a giant army to crush Lu Bu. Liu Bei was made aware that the emporer wanted Cao Cao dead and was in on a plot to assasinate him. This failed becuase Liu Bei was sent to deal with Yuan Shu at the time. Later Liu Bei allied with Yuan Shao after his brother Guan Yu was captured. He saw that Yuan Shao would lose so he took his leave to ally with Liu Biao. After Liao Biao made some horrible mistakes he died of illness and Liu Bei with Zhuge Liang would set out west. At Chang Ban Liu Bei and thousands of pesant followers were chased down by Cao Cao. Later Liu Bei would ally with Sun Quan and fight back the massive Cao Cao fleet at Chi Bi. He even married Sun Quan's sister to streghten the alliance. He later would form Shu and take the Han Zhong province where he would set up his empire. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Liu Bei is unlocked when you beat the game with 2 Shu characters -------- Others -------- Pang Tong- Cheng Du, Keep Pang Tong alive Wei Yan- Wu Zhang Plains, keep Wei Yan alive 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************* Another great improvement on change. Liu Bei is now a beast in this game. He is fast, His combos are sweet, and he got his 2 swords! The only thing I dont like about him is is second renbu charge, cuz if you miss you still jump up into the air. Kinda of annoying sometimes. L1-square= L1-triangle= Musou= swings swords around and stabs, ends with twirling swords fancy then a giant circular shockwave Hold Triangle= Charged up slash and spin Renbu Lv.2= knocks enemy up into air and stabs several times Renbu Lv.3= jumps up with enemy and throws down Renbu Lv. Infinite= add a double foward shockwave Special= Arrows Weapon Lock Win= 5d: STORY MODE ************** Liu Bei ------- Yellow Turban Yuan Shu Battle Chang Ban Cheng Du Yi Ling Wu Zhang Plains Yellow Turban Rebellion ----------------------- Obj.1 (300): In under 5 minutes lower the drawbridge. Obj.2 (300): In under 15 minutes defeat Zhang Liang then Zhang Man Cheng personally Obj.3 (500): In under 20 minutes take out Zhang Jiao with He Jin and Huang Fu in Zhang Jiao's base. This one pretty straight foward. Go through the first base and head to center. Take down the drawbridge. Then go up NE corner and take out officer guarding the flame lions. Proceed to the magician next to the NE pot and destroy pot. Then go around to left magician and take him and his pot out. Think you have to do the right side first. DO NOT take out Zhang Jiao's base until HE Jin is inside it. All 3 done! Yuan Shu Campaign ----------------- Obj.1 (300): In 10 minutes take out south archer base Obj.2 (300): In 15 minutes kill 7 enemy officers Obj.3 (500): 9 allies survive until Yuan Shu base taken Head to NE hill and when you near the peasants they will join you and run off map. They count as part of the 9 you need alive. Take out SE base after that then run back up to middle base where allies are fighting. Jump down and take out that base and guys. Run across the center island and south through a base to get to the archer base. After you take the archer base jump down into the water and cross back to join the onslaught of the main base. Watch for reinforcements in SE! Chang Ban --------- Obj.1 (300): kill 300 Obj.2 (300): 2 peasants reach docks Obj.3 (500): All peasants reach docks Be fast and Have a fast horse! Do this in order if you want ALL the peasants alive. Go save east peasant first. (Also make sure you wait near peasant after saving to hear them mumble something or they WONT follow you!) Now go to SE peasant and save him, then go to near base west of this one and clear it for him. Now very fast rush back middle and save the first peasant again and clear him a path this time. Go west and take out Zhang He and surrounding officers. REMEBER, be quick(NO DUELS). Now go north again and jump down to your base and save this peasant.(Don’t forget to talk to him after you save. This one likes to wait around!) And Finally leave that base and cross the bridge north and then wrap around to the left and cross another bridge. The last Peasant will be getting chased in circles. Save him quick and rush back to center where all you allies will be fighting trying to protect the front line peasants. Get there quick because Xiahou Dun appears soon and you must take him and his friends out before losing any peasants. After this they can safely make it to the exit, so you can go back and play clean up. NOTE, if you take out the double base, your allies use it as a shortcut. Cheng Du -------- Obj.1 (300): In under 10 minutes take out north and south archer bases Obj.2 (300): In under 10 minutes, take over 3rd gate, 2nd, and 1st gates Obj.3 (300): Pang Tong is not defeated This is one of the hardest levels if you are not fast enough. First thing you should do is go around and take all the gates. If you dont do it all at once the enemy WILL take them back. Once you get all 3 it doesnt matter if they get taken cuz you already got the objective. After that you should run across and jump down middle if Pang TOng is in trouble now. Just kill the officers near him and then as quick as you can go get the archer bases. They are in akward spots so pay attention to your map and dont go up the wrong path. Yi Ling ------- Obj.1 (300): For 10 minutes 6 or more allies survive Obj.2 (300): Stone sentinal maze not broken through Obj.3 (500): In under 20 minutes defeat all officers Another one you got to be fast in. Go south and take as many bases and generals out as you can before the fire attack. After the fire attack run back into the fire area and save your allies being attacked by Gan Ning and his buddies. Careful Gan Ning is Fury mode. After this go back south and kill officers on way to stone sentinel maze. Enter from south and find you way through by pressing R2. DO NOT let any enemies enter center of maze. So hunt them down in the outside walls, usually Lu Xun is first then Ling Tong. After clearing the maze, finish the level! Wu Zhang Plains --------------- Obj.1 (300): In 25 minutes, kill 15 officers Obj.2 (300): Wei Yan is not defeated Obj.3 (800): For 10 minutes, all frontline bases are not taken This one is not to bad for being a last level. The generals will be a bit tougher but the progression is pretty straigtfoward. You can jump down in the beginning and finish off the ambushes troops if you want or let the allies do it. Watch Wei Yan becasue he will charge the main enemy base after certain paths are cleared. So I would suggest cleaning up the east side of map first after saving the frontline bases. Then you will see 2 generals trying to go the back way to hit your main camp. Go back and kill them, then go save Wei Yan again and clear his path. Right about now you should get more troops trying to take your frontline bases. So go back and defeat them from left to right or vice versa. Then again, go back and save Wei Yan and finish level. ------- ~Guan Yu~ ------- 5a: HISTORY *********** In his younger years he traveled with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, as their brother. He was appointed a commander after helping squash the Yellow Turban
Rebellion. After Liu Bei had taken over XiaoPei from Cao Cao, Cao Cao retalliated with force and took it back and captured Guan Yu who had been stationed at Xi Pia. Under the short service of Cao Cao he helped crush Yuan Shao at Guan Du by killing his two best officers. When he left Cao Cao to return to his brothers he had to slay 5 of his former Cao Cao allies in order to escape. He then released Cao Cao during the Chi Bi retreat becuase Cao Cao had let him return to his brothers. Guan Yu led many succesful northern campaigns but was defeated later by a plot of Lu Meng. Lu Meng had spread rumors and gotten past his watchtowers and attacked Fan Castle. In Guan Yu's retreat he was surrounded and taken down by a coilition of Wei and Wu. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Guan Yu is a starting character ------- Others ------- Yuan Shao- Guan Du, All frontline bases survive Huang Gai- Chi Bi, All allies survive Guan Ping- Fan Castle, keep him alive Wei Yan- Wu Zhang, keep him alive 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************** Guan Yu hasnt changed to much, he is still strong and kinda slow. I guess when you get him to higher renbu he gets better, but for some reason I couldnt get into him like I use to in the old DW's. L1-square= L1-triangle= Musou= Hold Triangle= Renbu Lv.2= Renbu Lv.3= Renbu Lv. Infinite= Special= Power Weapon Lock Win= 5d: STORY MODE ************** -------- Guan Yu -------- Yellow Turban Hu Lao Gate Guan Du Chi Bi Fan Castle Wu Zhang Plains Yellow Turban Rebellion ----------------------- Obj.1 (300): In under 5 minutes lower the drawbridge. Obj.2 (300): In under 15 minutes defeat Zhang Liang then Zhang Man Cheng personally Obj.3 (500): In under 20 minutes take out Zhang Jiao with He Jin and Huang Fu in Zhang Jiao's base. This one pretty straight foward. Go through the first base and head to center. Take down the drawbridge. Then go up NE corner and take out officer guarding the flame lions. Proceed to the magician next to the NE pot and destroy pot. Then go around to left magician and take him and his pot out. Think you have to do the right side first. DO NOT take out Zhang Jiao's base until HE Jin is inside it. All 3 done! Hu Lao Gate ----------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take out center and NE archer bases Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes open one of the Hu Lao Gates Obj.3 (1000) Kill Lu BU First of all, take out the close officers then circle around to get the closest archer base. I would kill Zhang Liao as you work your way to the second archer base. Then after cleaning up head toward Hu Lao Gate. As soon as you see a ladder go up get up it and take out the 6 arbilists. You will prolly have to take out the gate guards. Once Lu Bu comes out you can go kill him for the 3rd objective. But He is VERY tough in this level, so you might wanna have at least a level 20 guy. Battle of Guan Du ----------------- Obj.1 (300) Kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou personally Obj.2 (300) Guan Du castle gates not broken into Obj.3 (500) Middle forts not taken over This level gave me hell so many times when I first started playing the game. If you have trouble just go level up in a free mode level. First the toughest part is to keep those bases up. They get pounded by massive amounts of generals. BEFORE all this though, run to the far left and take out the guy trying to sneak around to your main base. After killing him head to middle base and clear out everyone except Yan Liang(or Wen Chou, depending which base you do first). While Yan Liang is swimming across go take out EVERYONE on the other base, wait to finish them ALL off. Then return to the first base and take out Yan Liang and whoever else you left. There will be ambush to try to break your main base so watch for it and be fast. But the Middle is priority cuz it falls fast. Battle of Chi Bi ---------------- Obj.1 (300) Huang Gai's fire attack succeeds Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes take center and west tower ships Obj.3 (500) No allies defeated Clear out close by officers, then head to help Zhuge Liang. After he Succeeds you should clear a way for Huang Gai. Then head out for the bases. This one might seem like a lot is goin on, but its pretty easy to keep everyone alive as long as the fire attack succeeds. Also hitting the gongs on the movable ships always helps ally troops move about easier. Battle of FAn Castle -------------------- Obj.1 (300) Water attack works Obj.2 (300) Guan Ping not killed Obj.3 (300) In under 10 minutes take North and West camps, and archer base This level will be VERY hard if the water attack fails. SO be sure to keep good ol Guan Ping alive. After all its the only thing he does in the whole game! You will lose allies to betrayal, kill them quick becuase they will drop morale every 20 seconds they are alive. This one usually ends up with many allies dead but dont worry as long as you keep your bases and Guan PIng you should be fine. Wu Zhang Plains --------------- Obj.1 (300): In 25 minutes, kill 15 officers Obj.2 (300): Wei Yan is not defeated Obj.3 (800): For 10 minutes, all frontline bases are not taken This one is not to bad for being a last level. The generals will be a bit tougher but the progression is pretty straigtfoward. You can jump down in the beginning and finish off the ambushes troops if you want or let the allies do it. Watch Wei Yan becasue he will charge the main enemy base after certain paths are cleared. So I would suggest cleaning up the east side of map first after saving the frontline bases. Then you will see 2 generals trying to go the back way to hit your main camp. Go back and kill them, then go save Wei Yan again and clear his path. Right about now you should get more troops trying to take your frontline bases. So go back and defeat them from left to right or vice versa. Then again, go back and save Wei Yan and finish level. --------- ~Zhang Fei~ --------- 5a: HISTORY *********** Zhang Fei, the loyal Brother of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who started as a simple fighter alongside his brothers in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he later became one of Shu's fiercest generals. As one of the five tiger generals, his name was feared by all on the battlefield. His greatest moment of glory was when he held Chang Ban bridge by himself against Cao Cao’s army with a mighty shout and eyes filled with fiery rage, none dared oppose him. He also used a brilliant tactic where he tied logs to his army’s horses and made them run in order to create dust to trick Cao Cao’s army into thinking that Zhang Fei has a larger army. He married Xiahou Yuan's daughter and had two daughters of his own. They would both end up marrying the incapable Liu Chan, the marriage was arranged by Zhuge Liang. Zhang Fei had an obssesion with alcohol and this led to his death by his own men. One night when he learned of his sworn brother’s, Guan Yu, death he went into a drunken stupor and flogged his own soldiers. Two of the beaten soldiers stabbed and killed him in his sleep afterwards. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Zhang Fei: He is a starting character --------------------------- Others that can be unlocked --------------------------- Zhang He: In Battle of Han Zhong, kill Cao Pi, Zhang He, and Sima Yi in under 15 minutes. 5c: MOVES and SPECIALS ********************** Zhang Fei is AMAZING in this game! They made him really good now. In fact maybe one of my new favs! He has got quick combos, awesome power and great crowd control. Downfall is he really slow on his feet. And his Charge attack when you hold triangle is lame. Other then that he is sweet. In the top 5 for sure when maxed out. L1-square= slams their head into ground 3 times L1-triangle= grabs and throws them Musou= Crowd clearing action, then stabs ground and pulls out with shock wave Hold Triangle= Charged up slash Renbu Lv.2= swings around, thrust down, and around Renbu Lv.3= add another round swing Renbu Lv.

Go back to south gate and there should be a ladder up. Climb up it and destroy BOTH arbalests. Make sure no enemy officers or guards are near the ramming device now. If not you can go kill Zhang Liao and Diao Chan. Your allies should bust through door about 4.5 minutes in. After killing Diao Chan, Lu Bu will charge your main base. Clean up the rest and let allies take all the bases while you hunt down guys. Then go take out Lu BU. He in fury mode so be careful. Yuan Shu Campaign ----------------- Obj.1 (300): In 10 minutes take out south archer base Obj.2 (300): In 15 minutes kill 7 enemy officers Obj.3 (500): 9 allies survive until Yuan Shu base taken Head to NE hill and when you near the peasants they will join you and run off map.

Get there quick because Xiahou Dun appears soon and you must take him and his friends out before losing any peasants. After this they can safely make it to the exit, so you can go back and play clean up. NOTE, if you take out the double base, your allies use it as a shortcut. Yi Ling ------- Obj.1 (300): For 10 minutes 6 or more allies survive Obj.2 (300): Stone sentinal maze not broken through Obj.3 (500): In under 20 minutes defeat all officers Another one you got to be fast in. Go south and take as many bases and generals out as you can before the fire attack. After the fire attack run back into the fire area and save your allies being attacked by Gan Ning and his buddies. Careful Gan Ning is Fury mode. After this go back south and kill officers on way to stone sentinel maze. Enter from south and find you way through by pressing R2.

After go north and back west across another bridge and take out Cao Pi and Zhen Ji, then the near base. When you enter Cao Cao's base reinforcements come in from NE. Dont forget to take out SIMA Yi personally BEFORE Cao Cao; and you will unlock Zhang He! ----------- ~Zhuge Liang~ ----------- 5a: HISTORY *********** Nicknamed "hidden dragon" for his ability to accomplish great deeds while underestimated by most people. Later was called "sleeping dragon" which meant wise among scholars. He started his service with Liu Bei after Liu Bei had taken refuge on the run from Cao Cao. Zhuge was responsible for the plan to ally with Sun Quan in the south agaisnt Cao Cao. He later helped Liu Bei take over Shu and found the Shu kingdom, trying to rebuild the Han dynasty. Zhuge Led a successful expidition agaisnt the Nanman in the south and then many successful campaigns in the north until his death at Wu Zhang Plains. Zhuge Liang was a master of ambushes and strategy and believed to be the smartest person to live in his era among historians. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Zhuge Liang: Unlocked when you beat one Shu story ----------- Others ------ Pang Tong- Cheng Du, Dont let Pang tong die Xiahou Yuan- Mt. Ding Jun, kill him personally; dont let Huang Zhong die Zhang He- Han Zhong- Kill Cao Pi, Sima Yi, Zhang He Wei Yan- Wu Zhang, dont let him die 5c: MOVES and SPECIALS *********************** This character hasnt changed to much from previous DW's. He is still pretty average. I mean for having a fan for a weapon. Some of his charge renbu's are pretty cool with the lasers and effects. I think they crossed him with Zuo Ci, but made him a little slower. Overall not bad when you level him up. His defense is kinda low though.

Cheng Du -------- Obj.1 (300): In under 10 minutes take out north and south archer bases Obj.2 (300): In under 10 minutes, take over 3rd gate, 2nd, and 1st gates Obj.3 (300): Pang Tong is not defeated This is one of the hardest levels if you are not fast enough. First thing you should do is go around and take all the gates. If you dont do it all at once the enemy WILL take them back. Once you get all 3 it doesnt matter if they get taken cuz you already got the objective. After that you should run across and jump down middle if Pang TOng is in trouble now. Just kill the officers near him and then as quick as you can go get the archer bases. They are in akward spots so pay attention to your map and dont go up the wrong path. Mt. Ding Jun ------------ Obj.1 (300) With Huang Zhong alive, kill Xiahou Yuan Obj.2 (300) Take both mountains in under 15 minutes Obj.3 (700) No allies killed Watch your generic ally generals in this level. They will get killed quick if you you dont protect them. In the first couple minutes there should be some enemies that try to take your base. Take out any close ambush then take climb the first mountain. Dont worry about killing guys till you get to the top. Once that mountain is taken then jump down and finish up the close by generals....unless Huang Zhong is struggling. Then go kill Xiahou Yuan in the middle. After this take the other mountain and your as good as done. Watch allies thoughout in case you need to go save them. Han Zhong --------- Obj.1 (400): In 15 minutes take west and northest forts Obj.2 (400): In under 15 minutes kill Sima Yi, Zhang HE, and Cao Pi Obj.3 (500): In 30 minutes kill all officers Rush north and chase down the fleeing officer past the near base.

Wu Zhang Plains --------------- Obj.1 (300): In 25 minutes, kill 15 officers Obj.2 (300): Wei Yan is not defeated Obj.3 (800): For 10 minutes, all frontline bases are not taken This one is not to bad for being a last level. The generals will be a bit tougher but the progression is pretty straigtfoward. You can jump down in the beginning and finish off the ambushes troops if you want or let the allies do it. Watch Wei Yan becasue he will charge the main enemy base after certain paths are cleared. So I would suggest cleaning up the east side of map first after saving the frontline bases. Then you will see 2 generals trying to go the back way to hit your main camp. Go back and kill them, then go save Wei Yan again and clear his path. Right about now you should get more troops trying to take your frontline bases. So go back and defeat them from left to right or vice versa. Then again, go back and save Wei Yan and finish level. Dont worry kongming doesnt really die. ------- ~Cao Cao~ ------- 5a HISTORY ********** Born under a foster family of Cao, he was actually a Xiahou. A crafty young man that helped take part in the yellow turban rebellion. He was in command of a large cavalry force and was later promoted to govenor for his accomplishments. When Dong Zhuo took over the capital and killed the ten eunuchs, Cao Cao joined forces with Yuan Shao to squash the rebellion. Cao Cao secured the emporer and the throne and convinced the capital be moved to Xu Chang. He also recommend that Yuan Shao be made Chief advisor so to keep good relations with him. Yuan Shao took this as an insult and later led to Guan Du. He then united the north but was held at the Yangtze river when Liu Bei and Sun Quan stood agaisnt him. The three kingdoms were formed and Cao Cao would consolidate his power. Forming the basis for a storng army and economy he led the Wei empire to prosper until his death when Cao Pi took over. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Cao Cao: Unlocks with completing 2 Wei stories ------- Others ------ Yuan Shao- Guan Du, make sure bases survive Huang Zhong- Mt. Ding Jun, kill him with Xiahou Yuan alive Yue Ying- Wu Zhang, kill her and Guan Ping under 15 minutes 5c: MOVES and SPECIALS ********************** Cao Cao is an aewsome character. Maybe not as much as some of the revised ones, but is still a beast with a sword. He is fast and lethal. His moveset is fun, and renbu even more fun. I think Sun Jian is a little better but still he is very good. L1-square= L1-triangle= Musou= Hold Triangle= Renbu Lv.2= Renbu Lv.3= Renbu Lv. Infinite= Special= Rocks Weapon Lock Win= 5d: STORY MODE *************** ------- Cao Cao ------- Hu Lao Gate Guan Du Chi Bi Mt. Ding Jun Shi Ting Wu Zhang Plains Hu Lao Gate ----------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take out center and NE archer bases Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes open one of the Hu Lao Gates Obj.3 (1000) Kill Lu BU First of all, take out the close officers then circle around to get the closest archer base. I would kill Zhang Liao as you work your way to the second archer base. Then after cleaning up head toward Hu Lao Gate. As soon as you see a ladder go up get up it and take out the 6 arbilists. You will prolly have to take out the gate guards. Once Lu Bu comes out you can go kill him for the 3rd objective. But He is VERY tough in this level, so you might wanna have at least a level 20 guy. Battle of Guan Du ----------------- Obj.1 (300) Kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou personally Obj.2 (300) Guan Du castle gates not broken into Obj.3 (500) Middle forts not taken over This level gave me hell so many times when I first started playing the game. If you have trouble just go level up in a free mode level. First the toughest part is to keep those bases up. They get pounded by massive amounts of generals. BEFORE all this though, run to the far left and take out the guy trying to sneak around to your main base. After killing him head to middle base and clear out everyone except Yan Liang(or Wen Chou, depending which base you do first). While Yan Liang is swimming across go take out EVERYONE on the other base, wait to finish them ALL off. Then return to the first base and take out Yan Liang and whoever else you left. There will be ambush to try to break your main base so watch for it and be fast. But the Middle is priority cuz it falls fast. Chi Bi ------ Obj.1 (300) In under 5 minutes, take out west archer base Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes take east and north bases Obj.3 (500) Maintain 70% of health Well its not gonna be easy to keep that health that high. First take out the archer base, yes you have to swim there. Dont forget to hit the drum by the near ship to make it move. Then go down and kill Zhuge Liang and move the next closest ship. These ships moving will make it easier to for allies to help you. In fact you might wanna do this first if your fast so you can maintain that health. After killing Zhuge, I would go take the east and north bases, and maybe even Pang Tong if he still around. Then you can either finish off Sun Quan or go clean up the forces on your ally ships. But be careful if you go back to the burning ships, they WILL drop your health below 70% Mt. Ding Jun ------------ Obj.1 (300) With Xiahou Yuan alive kill Huang Zhong Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes take both mountain peak bases Obj.3 (700) No allies defeated Gotta be kinda quick on this one. I would work your way to the closest mountain base and take it. The officers are pretty strong in this level, so be careful. Then I would go get Huang Zhong before he chops Yuan in half. Then you can work your way to the other mountain base keeping an eye on any allies that are struggling. Shi Ting -------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes kill Xiao Qiao, Gan Ning, and Ling Tong Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes take west archer base and south fort Obj.3 (500) 7 or more allies survive including Cao Xiu Run up the near hill and take out nearby officers. Head north to where Xiao Qiao is and kill her. Then follow path to center and rush to save Cao Xiu. Ling Tong should be here, so kill him to. There is a horse box just outside that base on south side if you want it. After this go to the west archer base, then jump down and go get the south base. Then just go get Gan Ning and finish playing clean up and protecting your allies. Sun Quan is kinda tough at the end so be careful. Wu Zhang Plains --------------- Obj.1 (300) Kill Guan Ping and Yue Ying personally Obj.2 (500) Protect all camps on frontline Obj.3 (800) 7 allies survive Jump down and cross river. First save 2 right bases and take out the close officers. Then do the same for the left bases. Follow the left side middle path that should wrap around to Guan Ping. Kill him then go get Yue Ying. Now jump down and save allied troops being ambushed. Soon ambushes will appear and try to take your bases. You must hurry back and defeat them or you wil lose Objective 2. At the end Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are together so be careful. ---------- ~Xiahou Dun~ ---------- 5a: HISTORY *********** A man of great respect, he often gave his extra wealth among the common people. In the battle of Xia Pi he was shot in the eye by Cao Xing. He then pulled the arrow out and ate it to instill fear in the enemy. He later was held hostage by some traitors that worked with Lu Bu to capture him in his own tent. Han Hao later rescued him with a smarter force. He also led many agricultural programs to help the people. Dun fought agaisnt Liu Bei at Bo wang Po and was ambushed by a fire attack. He suffered many losses after his success of the campaign agaisnt Dong Zhou. He later died after Cao Pi became leader.

He has a sweet new look, but his new moveset is clumsy and slow. With a big weapon like this you would think he would be at least strong. He is NOT. In fact most his hits wont even stun the enemy, its like hes tickling them. One of the worst redesigns L1-square= L1-triangle= Musou= Hold Triangle= Renbu Lv.2= Renbu Lv.3= Renbu Lv. Infinite= Special= Power Weapon Lock Win= 5d: STORY MODE ************** ---------- Xiahou Dun ---------- Hu Lao Gate Xia Pi Guan Du Chang Ban He Fei Wu Zhang Plains Hu Lao Gate ----------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take out center and NE archer bases Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes open one of the Hu Lao Gates Obj.3 (1000) Kill Lu BU First of all, take out the close officers then circle around to get the closest archer base. I would kill Zhang Liao as you work your way to the second archer base. Then after cleaning up head toward Hu Lao Gate. As soon as you see a ladder go up get up it and take out the 6 arbilists. You will prolly have to take out the gate guards. Once Lu Bu comes out you can go kill him for the 3rd objective. But He is VERY tough in this level, so you might wanna have at least a level 20 guy. Battle of Xia Pi ---------------- Obj.1 (300): In under 5 minutes take out south or west gate Obj.2 (300): In under 15 minutes take out all bases inside castle Obj.3 (500): In under 10 minutes kill Zhang Liao and Diao CHan Run toward south castle gate and take out the base on the way. This will help allies move quicker to aid. Then go clear the area near south gate of guards. Your ally ladders should start to build. Meanwhile you can go around to west gate and kill officer there. Go back to south gate and there should be a ladder up. Climb up it and destroy BOTH arbalests. Make sure no enemy officers or guards are near the ramming device now. If not you can go kill Zhang Liao and Diao Chan. Your allies should bust through door about 4.5 minutes in. After killing Diao Chan, Lu Bu will charge your main base. Clean up the rest and let allies take all the bases while you hunt down guys. Then go take out Lu BU. He in fury mode so be careful. Battle of Guan Du ----------------- Obj.1 (300) Kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou personally Obj.2 (300) Guan Du castle gates not broken into Obj.3 (500) Middle forts not taken over This level gave me hell so many times when I first started playing the game. If you have trouble just go level up in a free mode level. First the toughest part is to keep those bases up. They get pounded by massive amounts of generals. BEFORE all this though, run to the far left and take out the guy trying to sneak around to your main base. After killing him head to middle base and clear out everyone except Yan Liang(or Wen Chou, depending which base you do first). While Yan Liang is swimming across go take out EVERYONE on the other base, wait to finish them ALL off. Then return to the first base and take out Yan Liang and whoever else you left. There will be ambush to try to break your main base so watch for it and be fast. But the Middle is priority cuz it falls fast. Battle at Chang Ban ------------------- Obj.1 (300) Kill 300 Obj.2 (300) Kill Zhang Fei Obj.3 (500) No pesants killed Be careful not to kill the peasents, they will get in your way when you are taking out other officers. They are also VERY easy to kill. Zhang Fei is a beast, so unless you have a leveled up character, go around him. You can also kill him before he gets to the bridge and he wont be in fury mode. Make sure you cut through the double base so you can cut off Liu Bei. If Liu Bei makes it to the ships its game over. Guan Yu will be guarding the double base but he is not in fury mode so he not that hard. If you decide to go for Zhao Yun when he arrives be careful not to let Liu Bei past. Liu Bei runs even when you are striking him. Battle at He Fei ---------------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take west fort and lower drawbridge Obj.2 (300) In under 20 minutes, kill Sun Quan and Lu Meng Obj.3 (600) In under 20 minutes, finish first 2 objectives This battle starts pretty easy. You must go lower the drawbridge before Gan Ning appears or he will do it, and you lose the chance. Clear the middle area first and take the bases. Lu Meng will be here and he is tough in this level. Gan Ning will be in fury mode so dont let him take out all the allies he runs too. Take the west fort and watch for ambushes. Then go finish off Sun Quan. Wu Zhang Plains --------------- Obj.1 (300) Kill Guan Ping and Yue Ying personally Obj.2 (500) Protect all camps on frontline Obj.3 (800) 7 allies survive Jump down and cross river. First save 2 right bases and take out the close officers. Then do the same for the left bases. Follow the left side middle path that should wrap around to Guan Ping. Kill him then go get Yue Ying. Now jump down and save allied troops being ambushed. Soon ambushes will appear and try to take your bases. You must hurry back and defeat them or you wil lose Objective 2. At the end Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are together so be careful. -------- ~Dian Wei~ -------- 5a: HISTORY *********** Bodyguard of Cao Cao. He once held a huge banner with one hand that several men could not hold up together. AMazing stregth and loyalness. He would always be outside Cao Cao's tent and hardly ever go back to his own home. He had great feats against Dong Zhou and later against Lu Bu. He Served under Xiahou Dun before Cao Cao and then Cao Cao noticed his stregth. Dian Wei and a few men held off all off Zhang Xiu's army as Cao Cao would escape from a burning castle. Cao Cao got away but the men and Dian Wei did not. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Dian Wei: Is a starting character ------ Others ------ Yuan Shao- Guan Du, dont let front bases fall Xu Huang- Fan Castle, dont let him die 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************* Another horrible change for DW fans. This guy is prolly the worst character I have played as. He is slow, and his moveset doesn't even make sense. He has a ball and chain, yet he has short range? I havent played with some of the freemode guys yet, but for the story characters he is the worst. Sorry Dian Wei fans, the old axe might of been better.

Obj.2 (300): In under 15 minutes defeat Zhang Liang then Zhang Man Cheng personally Obj.3 (500): In under 20 minutes take out Zhang Jiao with He Jin and Huang Fu in Zhang Jiao's base. This one pretty straight foward. Go through the first base and head to center. Take down the drawbridge. Then go up NE corner and take out officer guarding the flame lions. Proceed to the magician next to the NE pot and destroy pot. Then go around to left magician and take him and his pot out. Think you have to do the right side first. DO NOT take out Zhang Jiao's base until HE Jin is inside it. All 3 done! Battle of Guan Du ----------------- Obj.1 (300) Kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou personally Obj.2 (300) Guan Du castle gates not broken into Obj.3 (500) Middle forts not taken over This level gave me hell so many times when I first started playing the game.

Fan Castle ---------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take Fan east and west forts Obj.2 (300) Xu Huang not killed Obj.3 (500) All bases inside castle must survive Well Wu and Wei and working together on this one. You have alot more officers then the enemy, but they drop like flies so make sure you dont waste time getting things done. I would start by rushing down and trying to defend your left gate. After clearing out most officers, Xu Huang should be getting wasted. Go save him and then take out the enemy forts. If you have a chance to kill Guan Ping DO IT! It will stop the water attack and save a ton of morale. If not you are gonna have to watch your allied bases from being taken over. You can also get 2 officers to defect if you approach them before the flood. Sometimes it wastes too much time though and doing this you will lose Xu Huang or a chance to get Guan Ping. Either way they are across the bridge of both your gates. THey just sit there. Battle of He Fei CASTLE ----------------------- Obj.1 (300) North trap not broken through Obj.2 (300) Center trap not broken through Obj.3 (300) East trap not broken through If you have been using this level as your weapon harvest level, im sure you know the setup well by now. You will start in the center of map. The enemy is all over the place in this one so you gotta be quick. Get to the near center trap and clear enemies out. Then head west becuase there will be a group of guys running around the backside of castle. Take them and then go over to east side. KNOW YOUR MAP. Its easy to get lost with all the passages in this one and one wrong step could cost you a trap. Dont forget to watch for ambushes. After you clean up just jump down to finish Sun Quan off his boat. ---------- ~Zhang Liao~ ---------- 5a: HISTORY *********** Was a former subject of Dong Zhou, but turned on him with Lu Bu to fight against the tyranny of Dong Zhou. Zhang Liao was later captured alongside Lu Bu at Xia Pi. Showing courage and fearlessness in the face of the execution, Cao Cao let him live. He then vowed his life in Cao Cao's service. He helped in the campaigns against Yuan Shao in the north. His greatest accomplishment was at He Fei, where he would lead several ambushes agaisnt Sun Quan's massive army. Zhang Liao led 7000 men to hold off 200,000 of Sun Quan's men. Zhang Liao later then charged through the vanguard and came within a few meters of cutting off Sun Quan's head. With his success at ambush and tactics, his name became feared on the battlefeild. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Zhang Liao: Unlocked at start ------ Others ------ Yuan Shao- Guan Du, dont let front bases fall Lu Meng- He Fei, Kill Lu Meng and Sun Quan under 20 minutes 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************* I really like his new moveset and weapons. But I feel that not much time was put into him. He seems very average at best and kind of slow for the weapons he has. Far better then the other story mode Wei characters.

Chi Bi ------ Obj.1 (300) In under 5 minutes, take out west archer base Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes take east and north bases Obj.3 (500) Maintain 70% of health Well its not gonna be easy to keep that health that high. First take out the archer base, yes you have to swim there. Dont forget to hit the drum by the near ship to make it move. Then go down and kill Zhuge Liang and move the next closest ship. These ships moving will make it easier to for allies to help you. In fact you might wanna do this first if your fast so you can maintain that health. After killing Zhuge, I would go take the east and north bases, and maybe even Pang Tong if he still around. Then you can either finish off Sun Quan or go clean up the forces on your ally ships. But be careful if you go back to the burning ships, they WILL drop your health below 70% Battle at He Fei ---------------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take west fort and lower drawbridge Obj.2 (300) In under 20 minutes, kill Sun Quan and Lu Meng Obj.3 (600) In under 20 minutes, finish first 2 objectives This battle starts pretty easy.

Head north to where Xiao Qiao is and kill her. Then follow path to center and rush to save Cao Xiu. Ling Tong should be here, so kill him to. There is a horse box just outside that base on south side if you want it. After this go to the west archer base, then jump down and go get the south base. Then just go get Gan Ning and finish playing clean up and protecting your allies. Sun Quan is kinda tough at the end so be careful.

After coming up with the idea of allying with Wu to defeat the unstoppable Guan Yu he was promoted to a high rank of regent. He served many generations of the Cao's and held off many attacks led by southern Shu and was later to defeat many other uprisings as well. After Wei had taken over Shu and Wu Sima Yi laid the foundation for the Jin Dyansty. He faked illness so that Cao Shaung would think he not a threat anymore and then when the main army was away from the capital, Sima Yi moved in and took over making the emporers mother put the Cao's under arrest. They were then executed and the Jin Dynasty formed. 5b: UNLOCKABLES **************** Sima Yi: Is a starting character ------ Others ------ Huang Zhong- Mt Ding Jun, Kill him personally without Xiahou Yuan Dying Xu Huang- Fan Castle, dont let him die Ma Chao- Han Zhong, Kill him, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun personally Yue Ying- Wu ZHang, kill her and Guan Ping personally 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************** Another great improvement, I never really liked Sima Yi cuz he was a clone of kongming before, but now with his new claws he is straight bliss.

Ding Jun ------------ Obj.1 (300) With Xiahou Yuan alive kill Huang Zhong Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes take both mountain peak bases Obj.3 (700) No allies defeated Gotta be kinda quick on this one. I would work your way to the closest mountain base and take it. The officers are pretty strong in this level, so be careful. Then I would go get Huang Zhong before he chops Yuan in half. Then you can work your way to the other mountain base keeping an eye on any allies that are struggling. Fan Castle ---------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take Fan east and west forts Obj.2 (300) Xu Huang not killed Obj.3 (500) All bases inside castle must survive Well Wu and Wei and working together on this one.

Also dont forget to kill the officers you need to personally if you want the Objective, I found the allies takin out some of the officers if your morale is high. Just get the bases and you should be able to get all 3 no problem within 10 minutes! Wu Zhang Plains ---------------

Go back to front gate and take out arbilists and any close officers. Now go clear out area by inner gate and if a ladder is put up try to get over the wall and do some more cleaning up while waiting for the door to come down. Careful of fire attack near inner gate. Now just play clean up and dont let any allies die. -------- ~Sun Jian~ -------- 5a: HISTORY *********** As a boy Sun Jian with his father attacked a band of pirates. They believed they could steal the gold, in fact Sun Jian actually killed one of them at the age of 13. He was promoted to a commander of a cavalry force soon after. He led many successful charges against Zhang Bao, and Zhang Jiao. Later he teamed with Yuan Shao to bring down Dong Zhou. Many say his force was responsible for the death of Hui Xiong, not Guan Yu. Hui Xiong was a feared general under Dong Zhou, his strongest until Lu Bu came along. Sun Jian founded the start of Wu and tried to unite the south. But in a campaign against Liu Biao he was killed in an ambush by arrows and boulders. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Sun Jian: Is unlocked when you beat 2 WU story modes ------ Others ------ Zhang Jiao- Yellow Turban, Take main enemy base with He Jin in it Sun Ce- Xia Pi, dont let Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, or Sun Ce die Cao Pi- He Fei, kill Cao Pi in 5 minutes 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************* Sun Jian is the best one hand sword user.

Obj.2 (300): In under 15 minutes defeat Zhang Liang then Zhang Man Cheng personally Obj.3 (500): In under 20 minutes take out Zhang Jiao with He Jin and Huang Fu in Zhang Jiao's base. This one pretty straight foward. Go through the first base and head to center. Take down the drawbridge. Then go up NE corner and take out officer guarding the flame lions. Proceed to the magician next to the NE pot and destroy pot. Then go around to left magician and take him and his pot out. Think you have to do the right side first. DO NOT take out Zhang Jiao's base until HE Jin is inside it. All 3 done! Hu Lao Gate ----------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take out center and NE archer bases Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes open one of the Hu Lao Gates Obj.3 (1000) Kill Lu BU First of all, take out the close officers then circle around to get the closest archer base. I would kill Zhang Liao as you work your way to the second archer base. Then after cleaning up head toward Hu Lao Gate. As soon as you see a ladder go up get up it and take out the 6 arbilists. You will prolly have to take out the gate guards. Once Lu Bu comes out you can go kill him for the 3rd objective. But He is VERY tough in this level, so you might wanna have at least a level 20 guy. Xia Pi ------ Obj.1 (300) Dont let Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, or Sun Quan die Obj.2 (300) Main ally base not broken into Obj.3 (500) For 15 minutes 6 bases survive Your allies are pretty strong here, so you dont really need to protect them. Just go wreak havoc and watch your ally bases. Those will need help more then anything. Once you have got a lock on your bases then I would scale the wall and clear the arbilists so you can get the gates open. After you enter watch for ambushes outside again. Jing Zhou --------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes kill 500 Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei Obj.3 (500) No allies killed The hardest part will be to take out 500 guys. You can get a large number if you kill peons while near Guan Yu. Then do the same when near Zhang Fei. Be careful when fighting them, because they both have another strong playable general near them. Another easy level. Fan Castle ---------- Obj.1 (300) In under 5 minutes open one of castle gates Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes kill Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei Obj.3 (500) Maintain life over 30% If I remember right, you need to take this level slow. Both Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are in Fury mode and if they work you too much you will lose Obj.3. The First thing is to always get up a ladder and take out the arbilists. So clear out anyone trying to take out your ladder guys. After you clear out the ledge of arbilists you can go for Guan Yu, who will be heading out north. Make sure you get the kills personally. He Fei ------ Obj.1 (200) In under 5 minutes kill Cao Pi Obj.2 (300) In under 20 minutes, take west fort and He Fei castle Obj.3 (500) In under 30 minutes, kill all officers Yes, this is it. The level that everyone couldnt figure out where to get Cao Pi. Well its here. Run north to Cao Pi and kill him quick. He will have a good backup force so use skill or have a built up character. After this the rest of the level you can take your time. Watch for ambush and just dont die. Easy enough? Then you beat the level and should get Cao Pi! --------------- ~Sun Shang Xiang~ --------------- 5a: HISTORY *********** Married to Liu Bei after the alliance between Shu and Wu to sink Cao Cao's fleet. It is said that Liu bei was scared of her because she would always travel with hundreds of women that were skilled in sword arts. During the tension of Jingzhou between Shu and WU, she fled back home to Wu. She tried to take Liu Bei's son Liu Shan with her but was stopped by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. They convinced her it wasnt right and the child stayed. She never saw Liu Bei again and never remarried. Deeply in love with Liu Bei she threw herself in a river when she heard that he had died at Yi Ling. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** SSX: Is a starting character ------ Others ------ Taishi CI- Wu Settlement, kill 500 Huang Gai- Chi Bi, no allies killed 5c: MOVES AND SPECIALS ********************** I really dont like SSX in this one. Her chakrams were so much cooler. Even though the bow fits historically better, it just is slow and weak. And not to mention a clone of Yue Ying. I would say she is very average even when maxed out.

Obj.3 (500) In under 10 minutes take all archer bases This will be one of the hardest level to get all objectives. You MUST be fast, MUST. So get a fast horse and head straight to the gate. At least the music cool in this level. You have 5 minutes to do 3 things. Run to front gate and take out all the guards and if you spot a ladder within the first 45 seconds then get up it and take out those arbilists. Either way, within a 1.5 minutes you need to be headin to the west side fort. Take it then head north and around the back of castle. You will find a path that leads directly to the other fort you need to take. It will have a door you need to break through. DO NOT try taking a path inside castle, it will take way too long. By the time you get both bases, your army should be inside the gate. Now just go get the rest of those archer bases! Battle of Chi Bi ---------------- Obj.1 (300) Huang Gai's fire attack succeeds Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes take center and west tower ships Obj.3 (500) No allies defeated Clear out close by officers, then head to help Zhuge Liang. After he Succeeds you should clear a way for Huang Gai. Then head out for the bases. This one might seem like a lot is goin on, but its pretty easy to keep everyone alive as long as the fire attack succeeds. Also hitting the gongs on the movable ships always helps ally troops move about easier. Cheng Du -------- Obj.1 (300): In under 10 minutes take out north and south archer bases Obj.2 (300): In under 10 minutes, take over 3rd gate, 2nd, and 1st gates Obj.3 (300): Pang Tong is not defeated This is one of the hardest levels if you are not fast enough. First thing you should do is go around and take all the gates. If you dont do it all at once the enemy WILL take them back. Once you get all 3 it doesnt matter if they get taken cuz you already got the objective. After that you should run across and jump down middle if Pang TOng is in trouble now. Just kill the officers near him and then as quick as you can go get the archer bases. They are in akward spots so pay attention to your map and dont go up the wrong path. Yi Ling ------- Obj.1 (300) Enter the stone maze in under 5 minutes Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes, take North fort, NE fort, West fort Obj.3 (500) Lu Xun and Zhu Ran not killed This level is hard even on the winning side. The fire attack starts within the first minute or so of the fight. After this Shu will start to retreat. It is important to take out as many forts and generals you can near the fire attack. You will need to trigger the event where Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang appear inside stone maze. Nearing 3-4 minutes they will appear inside if you took out enough guys on the coast. Head south and enter it from the south side, its the easiest way in. Once inside try to stick to you left then to the inner wall which would be your right. Just remember your trying to go inward if you get lost. This might take a few tries to get within 5 minutes. The forts can be taken after you get objective 1. Battle of Hei Fei CASTLE ------------------------ Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes open any castle door Obj.2 (300) Break through center passage Obj.3 (300) Lu Xun and Gan Ning not killed You got plenty of time for this one so you can pretty much pick any gate you want. Same method as before, take out guards, wait for ladders, then get on top and take out any arbilist devices. The center passage is kinda tricky. Climb the stairs nearby and wait for the platform to stop moving. When it does, rush with you horse to the gate and break into it. If you get thrown into the water by the moving platform, just try again. I think it stops once your are next to the gate you need to break. Watch Gan Ning, he has the tendency to go off by himself. ------- ~Zhou Yu~ ------- 5a: HISTORY *********** At a younger age, Sun Jian's family moved in with Zhou Yu's family during the campaign against Dong Zhou. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had studied together since childhood becoming lifelong friends. Sun Ce worked for Yuan Shu for a short time to defeat Liu Yao. When Yuan Shu decided to claim himself empire, Sun Ce left his army rejoining with Zhou Yu and helping Cao Cao and Liu Bei defeat Yuan Shu. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce married the Qiao sisters and later pacified most of the SE provinces of China. But in 200 A.D. Sun Ce died and the Wu empire was left to Sun Quan. Always a loyal scholar Zhou Yu served him well. He led the attack at Chi Bi, one of the largest naval battles in the history of China. With a combined plan of the fire attack with allies Huang Gai and Zhuge Liang he destoyed Cao Cao's fleet that was 3x the size of Wu's fleet. Zhou Yu had also repelled an attack by Liu Biao and consulted with Sun Quan on many important political matters. He even convinced him to stand agaisnt Cao Cao, when the rest of the officials wanted to surrender. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Zhou Yu: Unlocked at start ------ Others ------ Taishi Ci- Wu settlement, get 500 kills Huang Gai- Chi Bi, dont let any allies die 5c: MOVES and SPECIALS ********************** Yes a GOOD change, a character with a bo staff. Zhou Yu is great in this version. He is pretty quick and is pretty strong too. But the best part is that his moveset is really fun to use. His combos look good and feel good. Wu fans will love the change. L1-square= L1-triangle= Musou= Hold Triangle= Renbu Lv.2= Renbu Lv.3= Renbu Lv. Infinite= Special= Weapon Lock Win= 5d: STORY MODE ************** Hu Lao Gate Wu Settlement Xu Du Chi Bi Jing Zhou Yi Ling Hu Lao Gate ----------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take out center and NE archer bases Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes open one of the Hu Lao Gates Obj.3 (1000) Kill Lu BU First of all, take out the close officers then circle around to get the closest archer base. I would kill Zhang Liao as you work your way to the second archer base. Then after cleaning up head toward Hu Lao Gate. As soon as you see a ladder go up get up it and take out the 6 arbilists. You will prolly have to take out the gate guards. Once Lu Bu comes out you can go kill him for the 3rd objective. But He is VERY tough in this level, so you might wanna have at least a level 20 guy. Wu Settlement Battle -------------------- Obj.1 (300) Sun Quan and Zhou Tai not defeated Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes kill 500 Obj.3 (500) In under 10 minutes, take north fort and south archer base A fairly easy battle, only one playable general you have to face. Remember to not take out all the bases to quick because you need those 500 kills. Sun Quan and Zhou Tai should be okay unless you just really suck or if you playing on expert..........and if thats the case ou prolly wont be able to get any of the Objectives. I would go for the center first and then get the north fort. Around this time you will get enemy troops appear to the NE. Its Yuan Shu, and its also a perfect time to rack up some easy kills. Should be around 350-400 when your done with him. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei also show up as back up for your guys, which makes this level even easier. Then just head down to the south archer base and mop up some more kills and you should be set. Now just to finish off Taishi Ci and head to the end. Xu Du Invasion -------------- Obj.1 (300) In under 5 minutes open front gate Obj.2 (300) In under 5 minutes take West fort and NW fort. Obj.3 (500) In under 10 minutes take all archer bases This will be one of the hardest level to get all objectives. You MUST be fast, MUST. So get a fast horse and head straight to the gate. At least the music cool in this level. You have 5 minutes to do 3 things. Run to front gate and take out all the guards and if you spot a ladder within the first 45 seconds then get up it and take out those arbilists. Either way, within a 1.5 minutes you need to be headin to the west side fort. Take it then head north and around the back of castle. You will find a path that leads directly to the other fort you need to take. It will have a door you need to break through. DO NOT try taking a path inside castle, it will take way too long. By the time you get both bases, your army should be inside the gate. Now just go get the rest of those archer bases! Battle of Chi Bi ---------------- Obj.1 (300) Huang Gai's fire attack succeeds Obj.2 (300) In under 10 minutes take center and west tower ships Obj.3 (500) No allies defeated Clear out close by officers, then head to help Zhuge Liang. After he Succeeds you should clear a way for Huang Gai. Then head out for the bases. This one might seem like a lot is goin on, but its pretty easy to keep everyone alive as long as the fire attack succeeds. Also hitting the gongs on the movable ships always helps ally troops move about easier. Jing Zhou --------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes kill Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes, take all 3 castles Obj.3 (500) 10 or more allies survive. This level is really easy. You have got a ton of allies and tons of time to do everything. Just be careful when you go for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. They always have a backup general lurking around, as does Liu Bei. If any ally is in trouble just go assist them, its pretty straightfoward Yi Ling ------- Obj.1 (300) Enter the stone maze in under 5 minutes Obj.2 (300) In under 15 minutes, take North fort, NE fort, West fort Obj.3 (500) Lu Xun and Zhu Ran not killed This level is hard even on the winning side. The fire attack starts within the first minute or so of the fight. After this Shu will start to retreat. It is important to take out as many forts and generals you can near the fire attack.

The forts can be taken after you get objective 1. ------ ~Lu Xun~ ------ 5a: HISTORY *********** Orginally was married to Sun Ce's daughter and given a provincial rank. He became a skilled leader and a great general. He pacified the eastern tribes of Yue and later became well known for his help with the defeat of Liu Bei. Lu Xun schemed the plot of pretending to be in awe of Guan Yu's power, thus letting Guan Yu drop his guard and move away more troops toward his campaign in the north. Lu Xun and Lu Meng seized the oppurtunity to take control of Jing from Guan Yu while he was gone. Letter were sent in Guan Yu's name to tell his troops they could return home, thus leaving him with less troops. By the time He figured out what was going on, he was forced to retreat. He was caught with his son Guan Ping and executed. Liu Bei sent a huge force to retaliate in revenge, agaisnt Zhuge Liang's advice. Lu Xun set up a camp across from Liu Bei at Yi Ling. He would not let anyone attack Liu Bei and they just sat. After months of doing nothing and Liu Bei's army mocked them, they pretended to attack the front. Liu bei's army thought this it chance but was caught unguarded when it was a trick so Lu Xun could attack the other 3 sides. They set fire to Liu Bei's camp and many were lost that day in the retreat. A huge blow to shu. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Lu Xun: Is unlocked at start ------ Others ------ Xiao Qiao- Shi TIng, 7 allies survive including her 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************* Lu Xun is another good improvement. He loses a sword but gains elegance and some ultra cool moves. I love his new moveset, he is quick and decent in power and combos. I dont know about his new look, but I guess it better then him showing off his belly. Kind of weird how they made all Wu characters kinda fruity in this one.

You have alot more officers then the enemy, but they drop like flies so make sure you dont waste time getting things done. I would start by rushing down and trying to defend your left gate. After clearing out most officers, Xu Huang should be getting wasted. Go save him and then take out the enemy forts. If you have a chance to kill Guan Ping DO IT! It will stop the water attack and save a ton of morale. If not you are gonna have to watch your allied bases from being taken over. You can also get 2 officers to defect if you approach them before the flood. Sometimes it wastes too much time though and doing this you will lose Xu Huang or a chance to get Guan Ping. Either way they are across the bridge of both your gates. THey just sit there.

They also got their traitor in the middle of you center base. I would go clear that center base out first as to not lose it. Remember to watch that life and if you get anywhere close to 50%, I would go back to a base and refill. Go from base to base, taking out officers that are close. Also keep an eye on that Qiao girl, she gets a little brave sometimes. Battle of Hei Fei CASTLE ------------------------ Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes open any castle door Obj.2 (300) Break through center passage Obj.3 (300) Lu Xun and Gan Ning not killed You got plenty of time for this one so you can pretty much pick any gate you want.

If you get thrown into the water by the moving platform, just try again. I think it stops once your are next to the gate you need to break. Watch Gan Ning, he has the tendency to go off by himself. -------- ~Gan Ning~ -------- 5a: HISTORY *********** Started as a pirate looting and robbing villages. He wore bells to warn people that his group was coming. In his 20's he started to read and educate himself. He left his life of crime to enter the service of Liu Biao. Liu Biao rejected his service because of his background. He tried with Huang Zu and was given a lowly position. Gan Ning saved Huang Zu's life from an attack by Sun Quan. Huang Zu still did not respect him, so Gan Ning left. Ling Tong's father had also been killed by Gan Ning in that battle. After being recommended by Zhou Yu and Lu Meng, Gan Ning joined Wu. Sun Quan had to place Gan Ning in a far province becuase Ling TOng had attempted to kill him on several occasions. He led many succesful attacks north agaisnt Cao Cao. He was even put in defense of YiYang and even the great Guan Yu was said to not dare engage him. During the battle of He Fei Ling Tong took 3000 men to attack Zhang Liao but failed. Gan Ning, as to show up Ling Tong said he only need 100 horsemen to attack Cao Cao's base camp, and even if 1 were lost he would count it as failure. Gan Ning's plan worked. It later led to Ling tong fighting in a battle agaisnt Yue Jin. Seeing that Yue Jin was losing Cao Xiu was ordered to shoot an arrow. It knocked Ling Tong on the ground and as Yue Jin was about to finish him, Gan Ning shot an arrow and hit Yue Jin in the face; saving Ling Tong. After this Ling TOng and Gan Ning became best friends. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Gan Ning: Unlocked when you beat with one WU character ------ Others ------ Huang Gai- Chi Bi, all allies survive Xu Chu- He Fei, Personally kill Xu Chu and Cao Ren Xiao Qiao- Shi Ting. 7 allies survive, including her 5c: MOVES AN SPECIALS ********************* Gan Ning has always been a fast character, now with his twin daggers he is one of the fastest characters. His power is still deadly but his combo isnt the greatest. His moveset is still good, but I like Lu Xun and Zhou Yu for Wu better.

Then proceed to the east and take down that draw bridge. If Gan Ning's reinforcements appear first, they will do it and you will lose the objective. If your Gan Ning dotn worry as much. Whe you see Zhang Liao appear get to him quick and kill him quick. As long as you are leveled up enough he isnt to hard. But he is beefed up in this level so be careful.

She worked under cover for her father in a plot to kill Dong Zhou and rid the capital of his tyranny. She fell in love with Dong Zhou's bodyguard Lu Bu. Some say this is why Lu Bu betrayed Dong Zhou. He could not stand to see Diao with Dong Zhou. An elegant women and master of music she would often sit and just play her tunes in the garden secretly for Lu Bu. 5b: UNLOCKABLES *************** Diao Chan: Unlocked when you beat the game with one story mode of each kingdom ------ Others ------ Cao Ren- Fan Castle, take all bases Zhen Ji- Xu Du, 15 minutes, kill Cao Pi, Zhen Ji, Cao Ren, Xu Chu 5c: MOVES an SPECIALS ********************* Well she is a clone of Zhen Ji, but even so her new whip is fun!

Zhang Liao and Diao Chan enter the inner castle in under 10 minutes Objective 2:(300 exp.) Defeat in order personally, Guan Yu then Zhang Fei, THEN go take Liu Bei's Base. (base must be taken after, dont let allies take it either) Objective 3:(500 exp.) Kill 10 enemy generals in under 15 minutes. The hardest part of this level is getting all the objectives. You have to run to the south gate first. Kill the 2 generals on the way. Then clear out all the south gate guards. While waiting for a ladder, I usually go to the west gate and kill that general. After the ladder is up (should be about 2-3 minutes in) then get up the ladder and destroy the arbalests. (the giant arrow launchers) Follow the top of castle around to the other gate and destroy arbalests (call your horse if you can). Jump inside the castle and clear out any close generals so that Zhang and Diao can get through easy. When Guan Yu starts to move north you should go after him, leave the gates, they should be bursting through any time now. After killing Guan, Go finish Zhang, who is now south and prolly blocking Diao, and clear any others that might be in her way. Dont forget to take the main base before killing Liu Bei and you should have all 3 objectives! He Fei ------ Obj.1 (300) In under 15 minutes kill Sun Ce and Sun Quan Obj.2 (400) 6 or more allies survive Obj.3 (500) In under 20 minutes suppress East and West castles This map is pretty easy. With Lu Bu on your side it makes it even easier. Go clear a path for your allies and then go for the castles. You can also lower the east drawbridge, this will help allies move easier. Jing Zhou --------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes take Jing Castle and Chang Sha Obj.2 (400) In under 10 minutes kil 10 officers Obj.3 (500) For 10 minutes, maintain 60% of life This will be prolly the second hardest objective to get. The maintaining life thing sucks. Just remember to take every base and get the health when you take it over. If someone casts fire while you are in a base GET OUT QUICK! The base will catch fire and you will lose life drastically. You do have to be quick as well, becuase all the objectives have to be done in 10 minutes. I would start with the bases and the nearby officers. That should give you close to all complete. And remember you have to play the level for ten minutes to get obj.3 Dont just run to the end. Han Zhong --------- Obj.1 (300) In under 15 minutes take out east archer base and SW fort Obj.2 (400) In 20 minutes, kill 10 officers Obj.3 (500) In 20 minutes, take all bases Dont get lost in the multiple levels of the map. You have plenty of time for all 3 so take your time and watch for ambushes. Fan Castle ---------- Obj.1 (300) In under 10 minutes, open Fan Castle gates Obj.2 (300) take all bases Obj.3 (500) Maintain life at 30% You got 10 minutes to get both gates open. Too bad this is on the same map as Xi Pia with a remix. SO you should know the drill. Get up those ladders as soon as they are put up. Take out the arbilists on top and let the builders gt up those rams. Once your army is inside just take all those bases. Remember to watch you life and if you need go back to a base that spawns life outside castle. Xu Du Castle ------------ Obj.1 (300) In under 15 minutes kill Xu Chu, Cao Pi, Zhen Ji, Cao Ren Obj.2 (300) Main base not broken into Obj.3 (500) Maintain 50% of life The hardest level in this story. Not only will the guys be tougher because its her last level, but she has to keep 50% of her life. There is also the task of taking out all the generals personally if you want Zhen Ji. When you go for Zhen Ji, watch for Cao Pi as well, they are always together and seem to use fire alot. If you see fire near a base...run and try to get them to come to you. Keeping that life up is the hardest part. Watch for fire ambush in the center of map as well. ----- ~Lu Bu~ ----- 5a: HISTORY *********** Lu Bu is a character that lived in the years before 200 AD in ancient China. A feared warrior who mastered horses, archery, and swords; he had no match on the battlefield, the perfect warrior. He served two different lords that had adopted him, but he betrayed both and killed them. The second of his lords was Dong Zhou, who he had killed for his love Diao Chan. After seizing the throne, Dong Zhou's previous govenors ran Lu Bu out of the imperial court and he went into exile. Yuan Shao then took him under his command only to dismiss him after issues of mistrust. Again he ran being chased by assassins of Yuan. He was finally captured in Xia Pi after capturing the castle from Liu Bei. Cao Cao then brought his army to alliance with Liu Bei's to surround Xia Pi and capture the treacherous Lu Bu. Lu Bu then pledged his allegiance to Cao Cao, but was hanged after Cao Cao realized how he would suffer a similar fate like that of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. 5b: UNLOCKABLES **************** Lu Bu: Is unlocked by beating the game with Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Cao Cao and Diao Chan. -------------------------------------- Others that can be unlocked with Lu Bu: -------------------------------------- Dong Zhuo: Beat the game with Lu Bu Sun Quan: In Lu Bu's Chi Bi stage, defeat Cao Cao and Sun Quan in under 10 minutes. 5c: MOVES AND SPECIALS ************************ Lu Bu is a beast as always and then some in this game. His new Dual blade weapon is amazing for clearing crowds and destroying generals. Once you level the renbu meter up he gains some really good combos and charges. RENBU LV 1: Slashes back and forth with blades apart RENBU LV 2: Adds some fancy spin moves RENBU LV Infinite: Crazy crowd clearing and artsy combos Charge LV 1: Pulls blades apart and swings up and down Charge LV 2: Adds a shockwave flying foward with a double blade stab Charge Infinite: Adds a downward thrust that has a circle shockwave Charge HOLD: Throws both blades foward spinning like a boomerang and returns Musou: Works a strong combo foward, then throws the weapon in a large circle L1-square unblockable: Stabs and flips over shoulder L1-Triangle unblockable: Throws in air and gets chopped up by spinning blade Weapon Lock win: Stabs with one blade, pulls out body, spins, then stabs again 5d: STORY MODE and OBJECTIVES ****************************** LU BU Levels: Xia Pi Guan Du Shi Ting Chi Bi Mt. Ding Jun Hu Lao Gate Objectives: The more of these you complete, the more experience you earn and the more skills points you acquire at the end of level. So these should be top priority when trying to max out a character. (O yeah, and always have a fast horse!) XIA PI ------ Objective 1:(300 exp.) Zhang Liao and Diao Chan enter the inner castle in under 10 minutes Objective 2:(300 exp.) Defeat in order personally, Guan Yu then Zhang Fei, THEN go take Liu Bei's Base.

(the giant arrow launchers) Follow the top of castle around to the other gate and destroy arbalests (call your horse if you can). Jump inside the castle and clear out any close generals so that Zhang and Diao can get through easy. When Guan Yu starts to move north you should go after him, leave the gates, they should be bursting through any time now. After killing Guan, Go finish Zhang, who is now south and prolly blocking Diao, and clear any others that might be in her way. Dont forget to take the main base before killing Liu Bei and you should have all 3 objectives! GUAN DU ------- Objective 1:(300 exp.) In under 15 minutes, take 2 middle forts. Objective 2:(300 exp.) Take Yuan's and Cao Cao Main bases. Objective 3(300 exp) get 1000 kills This one pretty straight forward. You can go any way you want. Very cool fight with a 3 way battle so I would work on one army then take the other. Don’t forget to take all the forts, and to get 1000 kills, just feed off an enemy fort before taking it. Still very easy if you just plow through it. SHI TING -------- Objective 1:(300 exp) Kill Taishi Ci Objective 2:(300 exp) In under 15 minutes, take Xiao Castle, and Shi Ting North and South base Objective 3:(500 exp) Beat level with at least 4 allied generals alive Another straight forward level, watch out for taishi ci, he can be pretty buffed, if you playing on a harder difficulty.

Kill Zhuge Liang Objective 3(300 exp.) No allies defeated This one can be tricky. REMEMBER, if you want to unlock Sun Quan, you have to complete the first objective. First try to go take on Zhuge Liang, who is at altar in middle of level. Then I Would take out as many playable generals as possible, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Dian Wei, Pang Tong. Because after you kill their leader, they go in rage mode. But also don’t forget you have to kill the two leaders in under 10, so don’t waste too much time. I would leave at least 4 minutes to kill both and have time to get across map to kill the other one. *You can also go for Huang Gai, who is waiting to north east in a ship. You can wrap around and jump on the ship preventing the fire attack. The only level this can actually be prevented. MT. DING JUN ------------ Objective 1:(300 exp.) In under 15 minutes take both mountain bases Objective 2:(300 exp.) Lu Bu's main base must not be broken into Objective 3:(500 exp.) beat level in under 20 minutes. Careful of reinforcements, and some of the generic enemy generals are REALLY tough. Other then that, just watch to make sure no enemies get close to your main base. If they do run back quick to take them out. HU LAO GATE ----------- Objective 1:(300 xp) In ANY order, take out Liu bei, Sun Quan, Yuan Shao, Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo in under 15 minutes Objective 2:(300xp) Hu Lao's Gates NOT broken into Objective 3:(500xp) No allies killed Wow, a very hard, but also very fun level! You get to take on every one! The first objective is easy. Just work your way through the level and take them out one by one. When you get halfway through, watch for reinforcements from the north, they will try to break your gates open. Keeping all your allies alive is VERY hard. They seem to follow you, but in the end of level all the enemy playable generals come back to life and take you on all at once! And if that is not enough, they are all in rage mode! I lost Diao Chan a couple times, so if allies are getting hurt fall back and regroup at a base. Get some health and so on.
