Crazy that I beat his ASS in my first playthrough with Zhang Fei 4 on the other hand... I couldn't do it at all even coming back with better weapons and more items I still couldn't beat him. I think it's the peons in 4 felt actually good like they wanted to actually kill you 😂@@RedTank100-f9m
Zuo Ci was so strong in 5 it was so good. I don’t think it was particularly strong but Xiahou Yuan’s rod made a very satisfying sound when you hit people with it
He was. Especially given a load of his attacks had elements built in. I think I remember beating Lu Bu by just repeatedly doing his Jump Charge attack, though I can't remember what Difficulty that was on tbh.
Dynasty Warriors 4 was my Intro. Rented it from Blockbuster, never returned it. They capped it at 20 bucks per Rental in late fees. It was practically brand new when I grabbed it. Loved this game. Played with my cousin on 4, much later on played it 5 and 6 with my sister. Don't get along with either really, but we played the games and worked well together.
A lot of time and effort to get this kind of video out, and with such numbers and calculations there can be no doubt as to weapon placement within the list baring the 2nd and 3rd place but you gave your reasons there. And at number 1 Lu Bu from DW4. I am happy to see him there, it just reminds me just how powerful he is as I have been playing that game these last 2 months in my off time. Every character from level 1 (barring Huang Gai) had to fight Lu Bu, before I would let them play any other stages or campaigns runs. As for baring Huang gai, I tossed dice to decide which faction and which character to play first. I think I'll be doing this for every DW game I have until I have confirmation on whether or not DW10 is happening or not.
ZuoCi’s tarot cards would be my weapon of choice as a tarot reader myself 😂 Great Video!! My Dad’s main character were Dian Wei and Guan Yu in Dynasty Warriors 3 so this list makes extra sense to me! I remember them being very heavy hitters!
i remember zou ci was stupid strong when he first came out. remember my eldest brother playing 1 match with him on normal and went that was too easy, so he turned it onto hard mode and started playing. he got zou cis 4th weapon on accident cause, i believe all you had to do for it in that game was beat lubu on hard. that was during his first play through of the campaign with him.
In Dynasty Warriors Advance, every character got access to a 60 base power weapon eventually. If we ignore stat modifiers but add Valor bonuses, we get character-exclusive max attack weapons as follows: Tied for 4th at 66: Dragon Rage (Zhao Yun), Dawn Flute (Zhenji), and Scion Moon (Zhou Yu) Tied for 3rd at 67: Venom (Zhang Fei) and Holy Dragon (Guan Yu). Tied for 2nd at 68: Maelstrom (Lu Bu), Earthly Mace (Xu Zhu), Demon Slayer (Sun Ce), and Peace Staff (Liu Bei). And tied for 1st, the berserker weapons that can get all the way to 69: Ogre Rod (Sun Jian), Annihilator (Cao Cao), Pandemonium (Xiahou Dun), and Goddess Eye (Sun Shangxiang).
I'm wasnt t quite as surprised as u with zuo ci's weapon cuz his mystery made him the one i wanted to unlock the most in dw5 and i've been maining him ever since but that man was a BEAST in dw5 🤣🤣
Me and my brother went back and played DW3 again and we made it our goal to defeat Lu Bu with fresh characters nothing but what we already unlocked which was like lvl2 weapons granted we have been playing all these games for our whole lives basically. We died twice before realizing the strategy for taking him down. It took awhile but we did it but good lord was it a mistake.. also Guan Yu at Fan Castle in that same game. They have it out to hunt you down across the map. I was chased down and shot with multitudes of arrows. 😂 From outside yhe render distance so i couldnt see the arrows until they hit me also rain. Miss the old games and the difficulty of them
In early games, I always liked Xu Zhu simply because he could down officers so fast. Once he lands the first hit, it’s all over. They’re stuck in a massively damaging combo! Get some items to help his weaknesses and he’s a total annihilator. Just gotta get good at making your hits count!
Most underrated option, Bao Sanniang's Spinners in DW8 Empires. It have infinite range and infinite hits. Perfect for murdering every mook in range and to quickly drain down the Storm Rush Bars on Generals. Also, Xianying #6? Didn't expect that :D
Sleeper: Lu Meng. His move sets were always very generic but incredibly useful. Musou, Combos, ect. Very Vanilla but very effective and were a good mix of single damage and group damage.
so for DW6 weapon pickups were RNG for their number so the weapons didnt have a unique number for them, it was just about finding the best one since its all RNG for DW6, no base attack level for that game
Well zuo Ci is a mystic so I guess his weapon must be powerful. I was like there is another weapon that is stronger than Lu bu but it is in warriors orochi haha.
This video kinda failed to mention the Damage Calculator system. DW3 DW4 DW5 has the same Damage Calculator based on 400 points system. Base attack × Power = Total damage. For example 38 × 10 = 380 (not including additional items or Orbs or Elements). On hardest difficulty, enemy officers have fixed Defense value between 360 to 400. So most of the time, you will need to surpass 450 damage to actually deal huge damage against Elite Officers. That's why I think putting Lu Bu's Legendary weapon from DW4XL on 1st rank kinda feel out of place. DW7 & DW8 is based on 1200 Points system. The damage multiplier behaves slightly different in DW7 and DW8. Because the way Hitbox register in DW7 and DW8 also multiplied by individual weapon skill that you craft. I'm not sure about DW6 and DW9 damage Calculator system tho
HMM, at this point, I might need an 2 hour apology video to the Qiao - you forgot yet again- The FANS!! ALL I KNOW, is when I play the Qiao Sisters, I destroy everything and everyone including LU BU!!! LMFAO XD jk. Fun video! Lu Bu is crazy strong, but so satisfying when you finally defeat him
in conclusion, the characters koei favored are: guan yu, lu bu, ma chao, dian wei, zhang fei, zhang liao, wei yan, xu zhu, xu huang, and taishi ci 🤣🤣🤣 well their might really defined it
Honorable Mention: Da Qiao's 4th weapon from DW5 (heavy 32 base with Attack, Defense, Life, Musou, Luck buff to it)😂incredibly powerful, when she turns on Musou Rage Token, it's literal GOD MODE 💥also Ma Chao's (medium 38 base Attack Defense Life Speed Horse) and Zhao Yun's (medium 36 base with 4 main stats+Charge) and Huang Gai's (medium 36 base with Attack Defense Life Luck Charge), if you're a true fan of DW5, you know them💚
I am glad someone else spoke up on Daqiao in DW5. She is the only character with a heavy 4th weapon with an attack bonus. Given how the heavy weapon attribute raises attack by x1.25 she has the highest base attack in the game. On the flip side Xu Zhu has a light weapon which multiplies attack by 0.75 so he's one of the weakest attackers in that game. A small girl with paper fans out damaging an absolute tank of a man with a metal club just makes me lol.
@TheNightowlGaming Yeah, DW6 for me was such a let down. I get that they wanted to switch it up but Xiahou Dun without his sword and then to replace it with a big club is a travesty!!!
Lu Bu in DW4 is like facing Darth Vader in Star Wars
Lol!! 😂😂😅🥲🥲😭😭😭🫠
Dynasty warriors 6 Lu bu was unbeatable
Dude was another level

@@RedTank100-f9m Yeah but DW6 was unplayable, so...
Zuo Ci was so strong in 5 it was so good.
I don’t think it was particularly strong but Xiahou Yuan’s rod made a very satisfying sound when you hit people with it
Ahhh never played much with Zuo so it was a surprise

Thats an awesome story
WHAT'S going on guys welcome back to the channel....
Lu Bu's Halberd. Bam. Video done 😂

Nicee!
Zuo Ci was just an absolute cheat code in every single way. It was ridiculous and fit the character. His move set was so OP that it was a joke.
i remember zou ci was stupid strong when he first came out. remember my eldest brother playing 1 match with him on normal and went that was too easy, so he turned it onto hard mode and started playing. he got zou cis 4th weapon on accident cause, i believe all you had to do for it in that game was beat lubu on hard. that was during his first play through of the campaign with him.
Haha thats awesome!
It was definitely a Broken Character. Probably why he was a "bonus character".
Gan Ning’s sea master and Leviathan is amazing but i like ur list too
APpreciate it! 😁😁
You could beat the entirety of DW8 by weapon switching the explosive halberd it’s absolutely nuts how powerful it is with the buff
The switch was so op, just ridiculous
Yeah I remember cheesing arena mode with that
Okay im ready to platinum the all games
😎😎

Haha nice!!
This just confirms me thoughts thinking Dian Wei was a beast
😎💪
So in order words....a few characters weapons, then a video of Lu Bu's weapons lol.
Guan YinPing with a giant boulder kicks ass. Also Wang Yuanji in Warriors Orochi 3 is majorly op
Haha for sure!
Me and my brother went back and played DW3 again and we made it our goal to defeat Lu Bu with fresh characters nothing but what we already unlocked which was like lvl2 weapons granted we have been playing all these games for our whole lives basically.

The bow, can take Lu bu down from range but it’s not the strongest but it does counter lu bu
for sure

Also, Xianying #6? Didn't expect that :D
Yeah some weapons are crazy powerful, but base wise they didn't make em that strong 💪
@@TheNightowlGaming too true... Too true... Practical application is all that matters after all. Not the stats
Glad to see Gan Ning's 5th weapon mentioned. I have legitimate ptsd from Yi Ling on Very Hard
His river sword was monstrous
Interesting idea for a video!
Thank u!
Brudda we need Dw10 right now. All these videos just make me wanna revisit the older games.
for sure, hopefully we hear some news for it soon, we're all dying for it
That was a nice deep dive, I like me some nerdy numbers :D
Not surprised DW9 screwed Lu Bu over in this regard too 😏
LOL right dw9 really dropped the ball w him
Zuo Ci is my main in every game he appears in. An absolute *monster* when you get good with his move set!!
Nice!
I remember the first time I beat Lu Bu was in DW5 with Ling Tong. I was on like I think easy but I still beat him :)
Nice 😎
@@TheNightowlGaming Sun Tzu was right when he said that "Nunchucks are the strongest weapon"
Can you do a historically accurate video of the DW generals. Start with Zhang Fei haha
Ooo I could do that, I need to do some research on em
This made me realize, SW has weapons with some insane attack number(i think SoS has >200) compared to DW
thats insane
Sleeper: Lu Meng. His move sets were always very generic but incredibly useful. Musou, Combos, ect. Very Vanilla but very effective and were a good mix of single damage and group damage.
For sure, base stats they never gave him weapons that hit hard though or at least not for this list
I’m ready to pursue Lu Bu
LES GOO 🥷🥷🥷
What about weapons from DW6?
so for DW6 weapon pickups were RNG for their number so the weapons didnt have a unique number for them, it was just about finding the best one since its all RNG for DW6, no base attack level for that game
Mine is Sun Shang Xiang bow in DW6 she can one shot Lu Bu with point blank shot and that's so fun
She is purty strong
Have you ever tried Deng Ai's weapon from DW 7?it's strong but got nerfed in DW 7 XL
I'll have to try it 🤔
Koei, please bring back Gan Ning River Sword and Sima Yo DW6 Claws.. They were so good..
idk about sima yi but Gan Ning yeee
Are you gonna post a deep dive video about Lu Bu vs Tadakatsu Honda?
Gotta learn more about Tadakatsu, but yeah eventually!
@@TheNightowlGaming will be looking forward to it 👍
Well zuo Ci is a mystic so I guess his weapon must be powerful. I was like there is another weapon that is stronger than Lu bu but it is in warriors orochi haha.

Didnt know there was a damage calculator system, where did you find the info so I can look into it?
This vid has more power levels than dbz 😂😂😂 love it might of missed it but what about coolest looking weapons 😎
@@dylansheppard4114 oooo we can do dat, ill write it down ✍
do you speak Chinese your pronunciation is so good ;_; !!! I wanna learn too
Haha I do not! My friend speaks Chinese and she helps with pronunciation alot
@@TheNightowlGaming wowww !!!!! I was starting to think you were Chinese lol
What about the strongest weapon of each character, atleast those who have been in atleast 3+ games.

Haha very satisfying indeed 😎 and qiaos they aiight lol
Do a one about the 5th weapons for the women in five I know some are good but most are just God awful because of them being heavy.
i can try that! i have to get all their weapons firsst
in conclusion, the characters koei favored are: guan yu, lu bu, ma chao, dian wei, zhang fei, zhang liao, wei yan, xu zhu, xu huang, and taishi ci 🤣🤣🤣 well their might really defined it
Haha yup
zuo chi is has the greatest weapon power.
but the sub stats is so upsetting, it didnt reflects zuo chi as a mystical character.
For sureee
Zuo Ci can get kookily strong!
so strong!
Honorable Mention: Da Qiao's 4th weapon from DW5 (heavy 32 base with Attack, Defense, Life, Musou, Luck buff to it)😂incredibly powerful, when she turns on Musou Rage Token, it's literal GOD MODE 💥also Ma Chao's (medium 38 base Attack Defense Life Speed Horse) and Zhao Yun's (medium 36 base with 4 main stats+Charge) and Huang Gai's (medium 36 base with Attack Defense Life Luck Charge), if you're a true fan of DW5, you know them💚

Just give me DW8 extreme empires like have the ambition mode for empires
thatd be dope
Do we not mention DW6 at all? 😂😂
Lol we can't their system was different
@TheNightowlGaming Yeah, DW6 for me was such a let down. I get that they wanted to switch it up but Xiahou Dun without his sword and then to replace it with a big club is a travesty!!!
mad bull have 38 base damage
Nope mad bull from DW5 for Dian Wei is 36, check the koei website: koei.fandom.com/wiki/Dynasty_Warriors_Wei_Character_Weapons#Dian_Wei
