DW6 Questione. What does everyone use for each character? Like blue for Xiahou Dun, or Red for SSX, or Green for Zhao Yun. I'm guess those are the ones everyone uses for those 3, for obvious reasons... But what do you guys use for....Liu Bei? Sima Yi? Tsao Tsao? Huang Gai? Huang Zhong? Xu Huang? ETC? Some of them...well...don't suppose it matters much, but for others, I'm not sure I'm getting the best mileage. |

well, if you noticed, the colours symbolise a skill type...and i pretty much use green for everyone, since thats just standard, and at higher renbu levels, the range of all attacks are increased...and thats what i worry about the most in battles, not having enough reach...so yeah, green for pretty much everyone

(These are the characters I played with and used) Xiao Qiao: Normal. NO MATTER WHAT! She sucks with everything else. Shang Xiang/Yue Ying: Doesn't matter they're good with any. I choose Normal though because it makes their kick in their move set better and I think it makes arrow do farther. Diao Chan/Zhen Ji: Normal. With their whip they get really good range. Ma Chao: Normal. He sucks so the best thing to add to him is range... Cao Pi: Normal: Really helps him not get knocked out... Can't remember anyone else now....though Normal is good for anyone really. |

BOOOOORRRIIIIING.... Everyone with normal weapons, has anyone actually tried to play the game? There are advantages to trying new things. I'll go over some of the more unique characters. LIU BEI - Normal He may be the best character in the game. With his double swords, he covers alot of area with his slashes at higher Renbu levels. And once at infinite, his String is all you need combined with Volley to take out any general, hyper or not. Bases stand no chance either. ZHUGE LIANG - Strength Built in Air Waves on his MS allow him to go for a stronger weapon, and he builds Renbu insanely fast so Skill is not necessary either. The whips on his infinite Renbu are better for breaking guard with a Strength weapon also. ZHANG FEI - Strength This seems wierd when you think about it at first. But Fei is lacking in structure. He's wild, and believe it or not, his attack speed isn't that slow. So with his wild MS, guardbreaking with a Strength weapon makes up for his indirectness. Plus he's second only to Lu Bu in strength, and his charges are really all he needs to mop up anything. GUAN YU - Skill Still a very slow attacker. This makes his String insanely fast, and with his Tome active, he's basically untouched as the enemy cant get an attack off. I'm not sure if this affects his charges, but I think it does slightly, and thats another advantage. SSX/YUE YING - Strength Alot like Zhuge Liang, with arrows, more range isn't necessary, and they with their Tomes build Renbu fast as well. They are also lacking in strength, so any little bit helps. Their hold T with Ice is extremely effective on officers with that weapon, blocking or not. ZHAO YUN - Normal The coverboy is balanced and average, so he deserves a weapon that is the same. More range never hurts Zhao Yun, and this game is no acception. Its really effective on his running charge. He's also decent with a skill weapon, but his attack speed has never really been that slow. ZHOU YU - Skill I know alot of you may say Normal fits him best, but really look at his attack speed, and look at the ammount of movement he has on his string. They override each other, and therefore Skill weapons fit him better. Plus, he seems to build Renbu slow, its needed. The infinite Renbu string's ender is great with Skill and a Fire element, though Ice is good too. ZHANG LIAO - It really doesn't matter This guy is so good, you can give him any weapon and succeed. He's got such a balance between offense and defense you can make him as you wish. I've used him mainly with Strength weapons as his Charge attacks are very direct and take officers down in life quickly after breaking guard or not. But I'm sure most just go Normal and be done with it. CAO CAO - Normal or Skill Avoid Strength like the plague! Cao Cao sucks at lower Renbu levels, so you'll want to get up as quickly as possible. But the strikes on his infinite Renbu slashes are great so you may want Normal weapons if you prefer them to his inferior charges outside his hold T. He would have been a great candidate for Swift Attack, but you have to deal with getting him up to higher levels as is. Those are just some of my takes on characters. I'll post more later, ENJOY! XD |

Depends on whether you're playing for fun or maximization. Giving (mostly) everyone standard weapons may be boring, but it's the way to maximize their effectiveness. Most of the cast sees a significant increase in reach with a standard weapon, meaning that they'll be hitting a lot more of the screen at once. Therefore, long reach translates into more efficient renbu filling and maintenance, faster musou filling, and improved musou destruction. Dian Wei gets a skill weapon because the increased reach of a standard weapon applies to the ball, not the chain, and has little overall effect. He benefits more from faster attack speed. |

What about Sima Yi? Skill I'm guessing? |

Yes, Sima Yi and Skill go well together. He doesnt hit much of the screen even with a Standard weapon, so his Renbu fills up very slow. Any range issues can be made up for with Air Wave on his weapon. I hate his special, he'd been good with True Speed combined with a Skill weapon setup. Giving him those split body attributes would have put him on the Zhuge Liang level IMO. |

Hmmmm....well I guess I'll start with Shu then. Guan Yu Skill for sure. While attacks a bit faster than before, with the major attack speed increase for most of the characters, it puts him on the slower side. With this you really don't need to use his charge attacks as much sense he's got killer attack power anyway. And like GoW said, augment this with his tome and you've got yourself a beast. Zhang Fei I use normal for him. Since he's already got some decent attack speed and is really strong, I decide to increase his already huge range. Couple that with an ice weapon and you've got a screen full of frozen soldiers. Then I just unleash his musou attack and watch them all crumble. Zhuge Liang Normal, he still desperately needs the range. He attacks fast enough and well power really isn't gonna do him much good anyway. With this I don't constantly resort to using his charge attacks. Liu Bei Normal or Skill. Sometimes I like to see him with big range and others even more of a speed demon. I especially like skill because he looks like maniac once you get to the end of his renbu and he starts spinning the sowrds around. He turns into a human buzzsaw. Zhao Yun I actually use power with him more often than not. For me he seems to already have decent range and speed and I just like being able to do a little extra with him. And for some reason it seems to take effect more with him than with ther people for me. |

Mastery over mind and body.

Call me boring if you want, but I play my characters for maximization; therefore, all my lvl50 characters use normal weapons. Even if you clame Xiahou Dun fixes his terrible speed with a tech weapon, that speed boost won't matter if the enemy can find a break to move in on you. Take a close look at the range some of these characters get with a normal weapon. Many of them cover the entire screen with one swing. With a normal weapon, Xiahou Dun has the longest reach of any character in the game. Now what sounds better: killing some enemies with a few quick hits, or killing every enemy with just one hit. |

What about Cao Cao? Use standard for him too? He is my favourite currently, although Zhuge Liang is coming close

If anything, Cao Cao could really use the range. His charge attacks carry more than enough power, and his speed is already fine. |

When you mess with the best, you go down with the rest.

Honestly, I just use my strongest weapon for the character, not matter what the skill is. |

I just use Skill for all my character XD I just like that they get to move faster than normal, a bonus to the heavy hitters. Sometime I go with Power for the already fast ones.

I usually use the Power based weapons because you can get just as good techniques/abilities on them as the others and they have extra power (obviously xD) |

I use whatever weapon I perceive as toughest at the time. I don't use any preference for any particular characters. I usually avoid the skill weapons early on because they're usually more weak, and the attack speed isn't affected much when the renbu level is low. |

Looking back, I think I've equipped everyone with the best Standard/Green weapon I've gotten for them because the the bonus range is really useful. When the going gets tough, you can just roll around to re-shuffle the crowds/get a better angle to start plowing away again with your superior range. |
