nice list, here is mine 10--- Zhao Yun 9---- Man Chong 8---- Xu Sheng 7---- Fa Zheng 6---- Xiahouji 5---- Lu Bu 4---- Sima Yi 3---- Xun Yu 2---- Jia Chong 1---- Lu Lingqi is #1 and no one can replace her, love everything about her
Wow nice list, some interesting choices, Man Chong, Xun Yu and even Xu Sheng thats cool, and Lu Lingqi number 1, awesome list with some uncommon choices for sure!
@@TheNightowlGaming thank you Man Chong and Xu Sheng are on the list just for the design, I just love how they look but I do hope if DW10 got made in future and I was still alive to play it they will get more in their personalities as in DW9 they are not that much and Lu Lingqi is my all time favorite, I love here design, I love that they give her Lu Bu DW6 weapon, I love her personality it is just amazing character in my opinion but not a lot of people like here as for Xun Yu well when they add him in DW8E I fell in love with his character but I did not like what they did in DW9 with him and they got rid of his wand weapon
My top 10 : 10. Pang Tong (love his attitude and his magic) 9. Lu Meng 8. Yueying (her weapon styles are so cool) 7. Ma Chao 6. Gan Ning 5. Zhuge Liang (not the funniest personnality but so good to play with) 4. Zhang Liao 3. Cao Ren (the shield) 2. Sima Yi 1. The ultimate Chad Sun Jian
The portrayal of Zhang He in Dynasty Warriors is so iconic that I always forget that there's no record or documentation of him being homosexual or even being more flamboyant than his peers lol
Zhang He has the charm of James from Pokemon, I think KOEI wanted everyone to have different traits such as Xu Zhu being a fatty, Zhou Tai the silent Protector.....and thus Zhang He the Flamboyant
While i do like Zhou Tai, he gets sideline many times, and being more of a side character.. Unlike the characters shown here imo, with the exception of Gan Ning..
I just played DW4 to DW7 so my top 10 is: 10- Wei Yan: His brute personality/fight set combined with his unpredictable move set animations and musou really gives his charm (I say this referring to Double Voulge), and is really cool to see his devotion to Liu Bei and at the same time his conflict with Zhuge Liang, his best visual for me is from DW6, I think he looks like a maniac with that mask that cover all his face 9- Zhang He: I love his effeminate/metrossexual personality and how his represented with a butterfly symbol combined with his deadly claws, specially his musou attacks in DW7, his best visual for me is from DW6, I think is the coolest of all 8- Pang Tong: I think he looks like a calmly lazy shaman mentor, and the unpredictable move set with his staff makes me see that even more, I really like the way he sees his conflicts as not serious as others and speak poetically besides the problems, you can see clearly that when he dies, his best visual for me is from DW6, the white clothes looks like they were made for cold, I think its cool 7- Ma Chao: I just completely agree with you, he can be annoying with the justice stuff the way he fights is just ruthless, his best visual for me is between DW5 and DW7, I think they represent him very well 6- Zhou Yu: Once again I agree with you, the pole fits him really well and the animations are really cool, his best visual for me is from DW6, looks like its more versatile and battle centered and I love his ponytail 5- Pang De: I think he looks like a lot like Zhang Liao in personality, even the voice sounds a lot similar, but his more brutal and represents more a footsoldier incredibly strong like a guardian, specially in Fan Castle, I know he got Xiahou Dun's weapon in DW8 and I think that fits him more than Twin Axes 4- Xiahou Dun: I agree with you again, so iconic and so cool, the way he trusts Cao Cao and represents Wei's conquest is really great, alongside with his obsession against Guan Yu is really cool. I love the way he use his scimitar two handed (one of my favorite type of swords), his best visual for me is from DW5 3- Cao Cao: The best leader of all, everywhere he steps makes everyone respect him or fear him, the way he makes Wei strong is very impressive, it doesn't matter with his charisma or the military power he has, he just do it, his best visual for me is from DW6, the cape and dark colours really fits him as the leader he is 2- Zhang Liao: You almost described him perfectly, the only thing I disagree with you is his clothes on DW7, they're my favorite of all haha. Anyway, the twin axes perfectly fit him, the DW7 cutscene where he fights Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yu in Chang Ban really show that, besides it shows how powerfull he is, and don't forget He Fei as well 1- Zhou Tai: What can I say? His voice, weapon, visual (in particular his scars), moveset, personality makes him perfect to me, even I doesn't being so much fan of Sun Quan, I appreciate so much Zhou Tai's devotion to protect him and serve Wu as well, his best visual for me is from DW4 Btw nice ranking, is really relatable what your thoughts on each character, and I really like how you described Sun Ce alongside your thoughts when you play the game, just trying to have fun and relax
What an awesome comment, really enjoyed reading it. Couple of unusual picks in there and I appreciate the kind words so much! That's what I love about this game, even though there may be disagreements in personal taste at the end of the day we all love the franchise and that's what I like
I love your list!!! Okay so my list is 10. Lu Xun - because it grew on me throughout the series. 9. Xing Cai because of the attitude she had in spirit. 8. Zhou Yu 7. Sima Yi 6. Zhuge Liang 5. Guan YingPing 4. Zhen Ji 3. Xiao Qiao 2. Lu Bu 1. Da Qiao (the reason i even started the series as a kid).
1-Entire Wei faction: There is no dull character in Wei (Maybe in DW9, don't know, haven't played yet), even goofball Xu Chu is a unique character 2-Zhou Tai: Cool, Badass Samurai 3-Xu Shu: One of the most fun moveset ever. 4-Lu Bu: Sometimes playing and smashing everybody with this broken character is fun 5-Lu Meng: Unique looking character in classics, good redisign in DW7 and I really loved his new moveset 6-Xing Cai: I love her tough personality not best moveset but she is badass 7-Wei Yan: I love his caveman personality, with all that boring Shu characters he has that unique character 8-Zhurong: Goddess of fire, her personality, her dialogue with Meng Huo siply amazing 9-Wang Yuanji: One of the best personality, she is awesome. 10-Zhang Chunua: I love her spiderwoman moveset
A top 10 is kinda long to type so ill do a top 6 instead: 6. Cao Ren: Loved how he looked and how he was the main commander Cao Cao chose whenever they were on the defense 5. Zhang Liao: his battle at He Fei, him being honorable and disciplined plus having a good moveset cemented him as one of my most used charactets. 4. Gan Ning, in particular until dw6. Him being a pirate and bringing bells on him so enemies could be aware of him was so badass. His old musou attack was so different with him running around everywhere. 3. Xiahou Dun. The one eyed warrior. I loved the outfits he had on older games it gave him the look of a badass and a very cunning person. 2. Dian Wei. The bodyguard of Cao Cao. Even though he died very early, him saving Cao Cao from Jia Xu was no small feat. Makes you wonder what would have happened if he was there in the 3 kingdoms era. 1. Zhang Fei. So a little backstory on this one: i started playing this saga on a demo which only had dw3 nanman battle with a 10 min limit time. Zhang Fei was on the left flank as an officer controled by the AI and at some point Meng Huo would appear there if you have been defeating him and crush that side. I always noticed how outnumbered he was there. If you go help him and only defeat Meng Huo and boost Zhang Fei's morale, he would crush everyone there on his own. Ofc , young me didn't have any idea about the moralr system and just thought "man Zhang Fei is a beast" and since then whenever a new game comes out, he is always my first character that I play.
My personal top 10: #10: Zhang Fei, from DW 2 - 5 I loved his move set and his fest's at chang ban are obviously legendary #9: Zhang Liao, just such a skilled warrior and honourable and even accepting death at Xia Pi, also miss him having a similar weapon to Guan Yu and the focus on their rivalry. #8: Cao Cao, a mean the guy was so cunning and intelligent and his ability to recruit talent and build what he did and his tenacity was unparalleled. #7: Lu Bu, DW 3-5 moveset is legendary!!! It's obviously Lu Bu, fighting him at Hu Lao gate is the moment to look forward too when paying a new DW game for the first time. #6: Zhou Thai, his commitment to Sun Quan, how he was bloody and cut up protecting him and his skills in battle, again in game his moveset is so unique and cool and his design is just badass, like a three kingdom era batman. #5: Dian Wei, an absolute beast and always remember his x3 charge attack where he throws the axe and comes back to him, such an amazing warrior and his commitment to protecting Cao Cao is to admired, of course he died doing so at Wan castle. #4: Zhao Yun, a mean it's Zhao Yun, loved him since DW2, the opening movie from DW5 is my favourite opening movie, his chang ban heroics obviously, such an iconic character. #3: Lu Meng, a story of someone doubting themselves but capable of so much and acheived alot is very reminiscent of myself, he is a new favourite character but a very overlooked one and deserved more accolades. #2: Xiahou Dun, the guy with the eye patch who ate his eye mid battle!!! So badass!!! In DW2 I loved that he had a cape so I played as him alot, HATED the mace they gave in 6, that scimitar on him is so iconic!! #1: Guan Yu!!! The god of war, his feats in battle, his design, blue dragon, red hare, the fact Wu broke a treaty with Shu to help Wei kill him because he was such a mighty warrior, he's just so cool!!!
Great list I like it. My list is 10. Cao Cao 9. Zhou Yu 8. Guan Yu 7. Guan Yinping 6. Zhang Liao 5. Lu Bu 4. Gan Ning 3. Sun Shanxiang 2. Wang Yuanji 1. Xiahou Dun
Zhang He in DW3 looked like Vega from Street Fighter…but with TWO claws! 😁 I immediately picked him up, and loved the agile, pouncing moveset, and his C6 having the death element on it made him my absolute favorite character to play. That’s still my favorite move in the entire series.
For me, I've played since dw5 up to dw8, the list goes like this: 1. Sima Yi - i love how tactical he is shown throughout the game, even if he is sinister.. and the addition of his wife, we can see another side to him that we didn't see before. I fell in love with his claws from dw6. 2. Zhen Ji - i always love characters with musical intruments as it feels mystical, and what's better is her femme fatale personality & how she isn't afraid to show this side of her. 3. Guan Ping - reminds me of ff7 cloud, and when i saw him as the poster boy for dw5xl I'm amused. His playstyle is awesome as well, felt impactful. Sadly they made him attack slower with the increase size of his weapon. But still, his moveset is crazy strong. 4. lu Xun - love his twin daggers / twin swords playstyle, he shown his worth as a young strategist, and even become a great mentor to the likes of zhu ran (iirc) and his playstyle in dw8 is crazy. 5. Cao Pi - twin blade go burr nough said.. 6. Zhou Yu - he feels so elegant, i always feel like playing that wuxia themed games.. 7. Zhuge Liang - elegant wise strategist, fan magic. 8. Sun Shang Xiang - love her acrobatic moves, the chakram interest me. 9. Diao Chan - always love elegant dancer type character especially with her introduction to whip. 10. Cai Wenji - similar to Zhen Ji, musical weapon. But less importance in the story and being absurdly nice a bit meh for me hence lower rank. Honorable Mention: Da Qiao Xiao Qiao These two twin fans moveset are great. Sadly they made them more childish in the recent games, and what is up with da qiao weapon in dw8 😂
I got an idea for a video top 10 scariest character like those who the players are scared to face,the ones who look the most intimidating & the ones who make the NPC be in terror wether it’s an enemy or a teammate
sun ce was one of my favourite. his moveset is bad, i mean really bad. but his personality and tonfa made me play so much with him. his fourth weapon at dw5 also really strong.
Love your list! Recently found your channel and it's so fun watching since i grew up not really ever knowing anyone else who played the games lmao. Here's my top 10, based only on the games i have read zero of the history i apologise lol😭 10. Diao Chan - Always thought she was a cool character, love her story, though she's gone down significantly because i MISS her dual maces so much😭 9. Dian Wei - A fairly new addition! I like his move set and him joining Hulao with zero backup just 'cause he's fed up with Dong Zhuo always makes me laugh. 8. Xing Cai - Loved her introduction in DW5, and her move set, she's perhaps the only younger general of Shu that i can stand lol. 7. Pang Tong - Poor little hermit, he always felt very endearing to me, like a grandad you want to help, and his death at Cheng Du (i think?) always makes me cry a little😭😂 6. Ma Chao - Another recent addition! As a kid i had an imaginary beef with him because, to me, Zhao Yun was the only cool spear guy allowed in the game😂 But age has made me appreciate his awesome appearance and great move set! 5. Gan Ning - Awesome character all around! (Weirdly i've enjoyed all his different weapons!) He's great fun to play, great contrast to sometimes other stuffy generals, and he's hot which is very important to me personally😂 4. Sun Shang Xiang - I also wish i could charge into combat boomeranging two giant blade hoops. She's cool, love the story between her and Liu Bei and then the drama with Wu's betrayal. 3. Zhou Yu - Firstly, overall the single most competant commander Wu had, imo. Him playing the flute in the DW2 cinematic is like STAMPED in my brain. He's super pretty, i love the staff move set specifically, and yeah he's just great. 2. Zhang He - A ruthlessly cunning and versatile warrior with giant claws who laments about the enemies lack of beauty on the battlefield? All while looking stunning, prima ballerina-ring and reading the men down?! What's not to love really. Zhang He is incredible! 1. Zhao Yun - OKAY, is this a basic choice? Almost definitely. But idc, when i think of DW his face is the first one that pops into my head, like he is the epitome of the game to me, if 1 vs 1000 was an actual person. Plus he's got the story, the outfits, and the move sets to back it all up!
I'm a Samurai Warriors guy first, but when I saw Zhenji I wanted to play DW so bad, so she's my second favourite character. She used to be my first, but as I got older, Cao Cao really impressed me how complex this character is, unfortunately the girls are not so well developed. But those two are my favourites for sure
Picking a top 10 with a roster of over 90 now is no small task. Big ups for a great list! If I had to narrow it down I’d probably go with 10. Wei Yan 9. Deng Ai 8. Dian Wei 7. Zhu Rong 6. Cao Cao 5. Sun Jian 4. Lu Bu 3. Sun Ce 2. Ma Chao 1. Gan Ning Some honorable mentions are Guan Yu, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Bao, Lu lingqi, Sima Zhao and special shout-out to Meng Huos dw6 empires look cuz it’s the G.O.A.T!
Hell yeah! appreciate the kind words and yeah its not easy at all! Soid List! Interesting to see a couple uncommon choices like Wei Yan, Deng Ai and even Sun Jian! I respect the list 🔥
@@TheNightowlGaming appreciate that my man! Wei yan is written very weak buuuut just stylistically and gameplay wise he is crazy awesome so he makes the top 10. Sun Jian is underrated in my opinion perhaps because he is only alive for a short bit but he commands respect and to me he has always looked the best of the faction leaders, plus he is my brothers absolute favorite so he gets those subjectivity points. As for Deng Ai I can’t really explain it, I just like him. Haha. Thanks for the reply though man, I’m new to your channel but really enjoying the content! 🤙
Its been awhile since ive played the mainstream DW, mainly a Warriors Orochi fan, but I'd say my Top 5 are 5. Ma Chao (what's the thing about his history that makes people dislike him btw?) 4. Chinese Johnny Depp, Zhang Liao 4. Sun Jian 3. Wen Yang 2. Guan Yu 1. Xiahou Dun. DW3 was my first DW (SW1 was my first Warriors as a whole) and Dun was the first character I played, so he means a lot to me in each game.
I could never decide on a top 10 my number one spot is shared by lu bu, liu bei, guan yu, sun jian, ma chao, zhao yun, jiang wei, zhuge liang, sima zhao and i'm sure i forgot someone
My top 1 is Guan Yu. At 7 and 8 he is technically the most powerful(even Lu Bu is just 2nd). His 1st Ex attack is stupidly OP. The damage multiplier it adds along with the super armor and fire element infusion is just stupidly braindead. On his 8th iteration combining both his 1st EX and 2nd EX by activating the latter literally 1 shots Nightmare mode officers, regardless if they're unique or generic. Unblockable. Almost making Musou attacks obsolete.
A bit late to the party but my personal top 10 are... 10. Pang Tong - Great design and attitude, my personal favorite in terms of DW6 designs. 9. Lu Lingqi - Daughter of Lu Bu, need I say more? Loved seeing her appearance in the series since Dynasty Tactics 2 and was excited when she was brought back. 8. Dian Wei - The first Character I ever played in DW3, his story is also one of my favorites and was often displayed great throughout the games. 7. Zhou Cang - Next to Liao Hua, this fella is my favorite Yellow Turban turned Shu Officer. 6. Hua Xiong - Primarily because of his design, I just loved his look in DW9 so much but his hypothetical help in DW8 would've been nice to see with him playable. 5. Chen Gong - Easily my favorite strategist, Lu Bu should've listened more for sure and his scroll was a badass weapon imo. 4. Xiahou Yuan - This man, seriously can't get enough of this guy. Hated Mt. Ding Jun level because knew what was coming. 3. Gan Ning - I mean, he's a pirate with a great story and easily my favorite Wu officer. Agreed with you on everything you said, the hair in 7 and his sickle weapons were a huge disappointment to me. 2. Zhu Rong - Ugh... I mean... she has a boomerang. 1. Lu Bu - His story, gameplay, and bad ass cut scenes have pulled me in and never let go. I need Gao Shun because I need more to Lu Bu's Faction just for more perspectives. Honorable mentions include Xu Sheng, Xu Shu, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liao, Dong Bai, Jia Chong and Fa Zheng. It was very tough to choose because there are so many great characters both design wise and story but these take the cake for me.
Nice list ... mine is kinda similar Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Xiahou Dun, Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, Zhau You, Zhou You ... can´t decide the final order haha
Zhou Yu was the most handsome in his era. Not only in game but in historical records. He was the perfect man at this time but he died too young from pandemics.
i rank the character based on the looks, weapon, easy play, and skill/movement. 1. of course Lu Bu the strongest😂 2. Cao Pi the twin blade 3. Zhuge Liang & Sima Yi the magician 4. Meng Hou the Forrest King 5. Ganning (you know the ult😝) 6. Da Qiao & Qiao Qiao the fun fan 7. Zhou Tai the samurai representative 8. Taishi Chi the double mace 9. Zhao yun & Ma Chao the dragon 10. 3 king (Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian) for their square-square-triangle combo varian. 11. Wei Yan, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Huang Gai, Xu Zhu, Zhang He (these are fun play character)
Good list tough but here's my top 10 . 1 Zhou Yu I like his elegant but smart influence a strong warrior. 2 Taichi Ci An honorable strong design interesting design. Like his development in 5 and 6. 3 Ling Tong Him and Gan Nings relationship was interesting. Kinda like that teasing brother type of relationship. 4 Simi Yi he is just awesome too watch his plot too take over Wei. His development in 5 and 6 was pretty good. 5 Cao Pi I like how he shit talks his enemys mostly. He has good development in 6. It's interesting too watch him lead. 6 Liu Bei his kind heart and morals is pretty refreshing in a game like this. 7 Zhang Fei like his relationship with his brothers. It's cool seeing his passion for battle. 8 Zhang He he is always interesting and different too watch. His believe in beauty on the battlefield. 9 Lu Bu Not much too say he's a badass. Like his what if storyline in 6. 10 Gan Ning He has good development in 5 and 6. His relationship with Ling Tong is one of the best. He is also a badass in how he likes too always fight. That's my list was hard too make tbh.
Its so hard to pick! If I had to I would go: 10. Xu Hang 9. Lu Meng 8. Cao Ren 7. Xiahou Dun 6. Lu Xun 5. Ma Chao 4. Gan Ning 3. Sun Ce 2. Zhang Liao 1. Zhao Yun
I'm playing dw8 right now and the story is amazing all of the stories are amazing I want the story of dw8 just to be like dw10 but newer costumes newr everything.
I saw a video that had zhang Liao as the 6th most powerful character in the game and all I can say is they discounted that he was 1v3 against Zhang fei and guan yu (lui bei) . I was like do you know how strong someone has to be for A. The character to be treated as close to a peer as it’s possible for Lu bu. And b for him to express how unbelievable it is to him that someone could have Zhang Liao on the back foot
@@TheNightowlGamingYeeeeaaahhh, that was pretty nutty to me, they definitely shouldn't have done that. He dies naturally historically, maybe it may have been like a hurdle for Quan, but nah that was lame
Solid list! Ling Tong is in there, respect! Anytime somoene puts their list I always look for the unusual one or the less common one that arent as popular, so cool to see.
@@TheNightowlGaming Haha thank you mate. Your vids have got me playing the game again. Guan Ping was originally in my list as I love his design but i find him a bit dull as a character.
1. My favorite is Zhou Tai from Dw4 hyper. And also he has the best musou finisher. With red health he can defeat MengHuo with full health in duel. 2. Xiahou Dun 3. Zhang Liao 4. Zhang Fei 5. Guan Yu 6. Ma Chao 7. Cao Cao 8. Wei Yan 9. Lu Bu 10. Jiang Wei 11. Pang De 12. Gan Ning 13. Sun Ce 14. Zhao Yun 15. Cao Ren 16. Dian Wei 17. Zhen Ji 18. Zhou Yu 19. Zhuge Liang 20. Sima Yi
Here is my top 10. My Wu bias will be obvious here: 10 Lu Bu -his DW6 story still sticks out as my favorite 9 Wang Yuanji 8 Zhou Yu -he was my first character I played in the series, back in DW6 7 Cao Cao 6 Sun Shangxiang -she has fallen from when I first started, but I still like her 5 Sima Yi 4 Sun Ce 3 Zhang Liao -the boogeyman of Wu 2 Lu Meng 1 Sun Jian -he has been my favorite since I played DW6 and his DW8 weapon is my all-time favorite I almost left out Lu Bu for Guan Yinping, but his DW6 story was too good. I left off a few that I used to like more or had great moments, but have fallen off over the years. I think DW7 ruined some of the Shu characters for me. Now when I think of Shu, the only words that come to mind are JUSTICE!, BENEVOLENCE! and arrogance.
My order isn't based on the story as much as how fun they are to play and their general look for me. 1*Zhu Ran but only if he has the flame bow. Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Taishi Chi, Zhang Liao, Pang Tong, Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Lu Bu Halberd not windmill
I believe it! Just my personal picks for my fave 10, I even did a video where I scoured the internet looking for people's top 10 characters and made a video on who the most popular characters were and surprisingly Guan Yu is not as popular as you think :)
@@TheNightowlGaming I'm just kidding. ofc this is your list and opinion. I'm surprise by your picks. Pretty unique. I honestly haven't played since dynasty warrior 4 on ps2. I saw there was a netflix movie and just wanted to check out some dynasty warrior videos on youtube. guan yu is a pretty old school character. he isn't really cool or hip. very traditional imo. but i do remember playing zhao yun and ma chao a lot and you got them both on your list.
Heh to me Lu Bu is #1, 2 and 3. The fact he's the strongest, not aligned with any of the main forces, and represented in a veeery cool way really make him stand out. After that, it's hard to say but probably Zhuge Liang. Edit: alright, just for the lulz my top 10 would be 1. Lu Bu 2. Zhuge Liang 3. Ma Chao 4. Zhao Yun 5. Zhang Liao 6. Guan Yu 7. Taishi Ci 8. Xu Huang 9. Sun Ce (DW6) 10. Yan Liang.
@@TheNightowlGaming sweet, can't wait to see the new one! Yeah Yan Liang was done dirty by Guan Yu (a lot of credit goes to Red Hare), he was popping off otherwise! I was also tempted to name Hua Xiong for similar reasons but I prefer Yan Liang overall. Unlike Hua Xiong, he wasn't really defeated fair and square (although I suppose you could say Hua Xiong was tired after beating all those officers/generals). Also I LOVE the later Han period of DW (up to 200 AD), there's that too 😅
Zhang He’s offense is truly beautiful and it resembles a ballerina kicking chumps left and right. Xiahou Dun: My lord, why did you recruit Zhang He? He looks awfully weird! Cao Cao: Well, as long as he has the skills to show in battle, he’s cool to join us. After all, I got both Dian Wei who’s a bloody thug and Xu Zhu’s a big, fat boy. Heck, I recruited Jia Xu, that treacherous clown who nearly killed me! As long as you have talent, regardless of your background, I shall recruit you! Cao Cao would probably be hailed by everyone for being tolerant and accepting of everyone regardless of their background if Cao Cao would exist in modern times
@@TheNightowlGaming Cao Cao would also be hailed as a friend of the LGBT community since he recruited Zhang He who’s been portrayed as a flamboyant, butt kicking exotico and if I can imagine modern day CEO Cao Cao having a job interview with Zhang He Cao Cao: Do you have any previous work experience? Zhang He: Yes, I do but unfortunately, I resigned from my job Cao Cao: Why? Zhang He: Duh! It’s my former boss! He’s so annoying and overrated! He always says that there’s only one diva in the workplace and that’s him! ( a reference to Yuan Shao’s current incarnation in the Dynasty Warriors games) Cue the Laughing Cao Cao Meme from Three Kingdoms 2010
@@TheNightowlGaming 😂 yeah I'm a fan of the females, mostly sun shangxiang and I actually thought she would have been in the video or maybe zhurong. That surprised me. It would be cool if you did a list on the females hint hint 😂😂
My top was: 10 Zhou Tai / Xu Huang 9 Guan Yu 8 Lu Meng 7 Lu Bu 6 Zang Fei 5 Zhao Yun 4 Ma Chao 3 Xiahou Dun 2 Zang Liao 1 Gang Ning I've liked Sun Ce too, but only in DW6 when he had a badass spear, now i don't like the weapons that he has
Not in my personal llist, but if you watch the top 10 most popular character vid I did, he's there. A lot of people like Zhou Tai! He's a beast, not a top 10 for me though 🤙🤙
NEW TOP 10 CHARACTERS 2024: ua-cam.com/video/5J4y90j24JM/v-deo.html&lc=Ugz1Sa0f2qqEY2nd-y54AaABAg
nice list, here is mine
10--- Zhao Yun
9---- Man Chong
8---- Xu Sheng
7---- Fa Zheng
6---- Xiahouji
5---- Lu Bu
4---- Sima Yi
3---- Xun Yu
2---- Jia Chong
1---- Lu Lingqi is #1 and no one can replace her, love everything about her
Wow nice list, some interesting choices, Man Chong, Xun Yu and even Xu Sheng thats cool, and Lu Lingqi number 1, awesome list with some uncommon choices for sure!
@@TheNightowlGaming thank you Man Chong and Xu Sheng are on the list just for the design, I just love how they look but I do hope if DW10 got made in future and I was still alive to play it they will get more in their personalities as in DW9 they are not that much and Lu Lingqi is my all time favorite, I love here design, I love that they give her Lu Bu DW6 weapon, I love her personality it is just amazing character in my opinion but not a lot of people like here as for Xun Yu well when they add him in DW8E I fell in love with his character but I did not like what they did in DW9 with him and they got rid of his wand weapon
My top 10 :
10. Pang Tong (love his attitude and his magic)
9. Lu Meng
8. Yueying (her weapon styles are so cool)
7. Ma Chao
6. Gan Ning
5. Zhuge Liang (not the funniest personnality but so good to play with)
4. Zhang Liao
3. Cao Ren (the shield)
2. Sima Yi
1. The ultimate Chad Sun Jian
Wow this a cool list alot of uncommon characters in this one and Sun Jian #1, I respect it!
Haha ultimate Chad
The portrayal of Zhang He in Dynasty Warriors is so iconic that I always forget that there's no record or documentation of him being homosexual or even being more flamboyant than his peers lol
lol ikr!
Zhang He has the charm of James from Pokemon, I think KOEI wanted everyone to have different traits such as Xu Zhu being a fatty, Zhou Tai the silent Protector.....and thus Zhang He the Flamboyant
Growing up my favourite was always Zhou Tai so I’m deeply hurt that he isn’t here, making a top 10 sounds like an impossible task though
Its definitely tougn for sure, zhou tai a beast though 💪💪
While i do like Zhou Tai, he gets sideline many times, and being more of a side character..
Unlike the characters shown here imo, with the exception of Gan Ning..
I just played DW4 to DW7 so my top 10 is:
10- Wei Yan: His brute personality/fight set combined with his unpredictable move set animations and musou really gives his charm (I say this referring to Double Voulge), and is really cool to see his devotion to Liu Bei and at the same time his conflict with Zhuge Liang, his best visual for me is from DW6, I think he looks like a maniac with that mask that cover all his face
9- Zhang He: I love his effeminate/metrossexual personality and how his represented with a butterfly symbol combined with his deadly claws, specially his musou attacks in DW7, his best visual for me is from DW6, I think is the coolest of all
8- Pang Tong: I think he looks like a calmly lazy shaman mentor, and the unpredictable move set with his staff makes me see that even more, I really like the way he sees his conflicts as not serious as others and speak poetically besides the problems, you can see clearly that when he dies, his best visual for me is from DW6, the white clothes looks like they were made for cold, I think its cool
7- Ma Chao: I just completely agree with you, he can be annoying with the justice stuff the way he fights is just ruthless, his best visual for me is between DW5 and DW7, I think they represent him very well
6- Zhou Yu: Once again I agree with you, the pole fits him really well and the animations are really cool, his best visual for me is from DW6, looks like its more versatile and battle centered and I love his ponytail
5- Pang De: I think he looks like a lot like Zhang Liao in personality, even the voice sounds a lot similar, but his more brutal and represents more a footsoldier incredibly strong like a guardian, specially in Fan Castle, I know he got Xiahou Dun's weapon in DW8 and I think that fits him more than Twin Axes
4- Xiahou Dun: I agree with you again, so iconic and so cool, the way he trusts Cao Cao and represents Wei's conquest is really great, alongside with his obsession against Guan Yu is really cool. I love the way he use his scimitar two handed (one of my favorite type of swords), his best visual for me is from DW5
3- Cao Cao: The best leader of all, everywhere he steps makes everyone respect him or fear him, the way he makes Wei strong is very impressive, it doesn't matter with his charisma or the military power he has, he just do it, his best visual for me is from DW6, the cape and dark colours really fits him as the leader he is
2- Zhang Liao: You almost described him perfectly, the only thing I disagree with you is his clothes on DW7, they're my favorite of all haha. Anyway, the twin axes perfectly fit him, the DW7 cutscene where he fights Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yu in Chang Ban really show that, besides it shows how powerfull he is, and don't forget He Fei as well
1- Zhou Tai: What can I say? His voice, weapon, visual (in particular his scars), moveset, personality makes him perfect to me, even I doesn't being so much fan of Sun Quan, I appreciate so much Zhou Tai's devotion to protect him and serve Wu as well, his best visual for me is from DW4
Btw nice ranking, is really relatable what your thoughts on each character, and I really like how you described Sun Ce alongside your thoughts when you play the game, just trying to have fun and relax
What an awesome comment, really enjoyed reading it. Couple of unusual picks in there and I appreciate the kind words so much! That's what I love about this game, even though there may be disagreements in personal taste at the end of the day we all love the franchise and that's what I like
Pang tong 👌🏻
I love your list!!! Okay so my list is
10. Lu Xun - because it grew on me throughout the series.
9. Xing Cai because of the attitude she had in spirit.
8. Zhou Yu
7. Sima Yi
6. Zhuge Liang
5. Guan YingPing
4. Zhen Ji
3. Xiao Qiao
2. Lu Bu
1. Da Qiao (the reason i even started the series as a kid).
Heck yeah! Love seeing your guys' list! Very interesting list! 🔥🔥
1-Entire Wei faction: There is no dull character in Wei (Maybe in DW9, don't know, haven't played yet), even goofball Xu Chu is a unique character
2-Zhou Tai: Cool, Badass Samurai
3-Xu Shu: One of the most fun moveset ever.
4-Lu Bu: Sometimes playing and smashing everybody with this broken character is fun
5-Lu Meng: Unique looking character in classics, good redisign in DW7 and I really loved his new moveset
6-Xing Cai: I love her tough personality not best moveset but she is badass
7-Wei Yan: I love his caveman personality, with all that boring Shu characters he has that unique character
8-Zhurong: Goddess of fire, her personality, her dialogue with Meng Huo siply amazing
9-Wang Yuanji: One of the best personality, she is awesome.
10-Zhang Chunua: I love her spiderwoman moveset
Super interesting list, loved reading! Haha and your number 1 pick is hilarious, Wei is my favorite faction too :)
@@TheNightowlGaming Our ambition cannot be stopped!
A top 10 is kinda long to type so ill do a top 6 instead:
6. Cao Ren: Loved how he looked and how he was the main commander Cao Cao chose whenever they were on the defense
5. Zhang Liao: his battle at He Fei, him being honorable and disciplined plus having a good moveset cemented him as one of my most used charactets.
4. Gan Ning, in particular until dw6. Him being a pirate and bringing bells on him so enemies could be aware of him was so badass. His old musou attack was so different with him running around everywhere.
3. Xiahou Dun. The one eyed warrior. I loved the outfits he had on older games it gave him the look of a badass and a very cunning person.
2. Dian Wei. The bodyguard of Cao Cao. Even though he died very early, him saving Cao Cao from Jia Xu was no small feat. Makes you wonder what would have happened if he was there in the 3 kingdoms era.
1. Zhang Fei. So a little backstory on this one: i started playing this saga on a demo which only had dw3 nanman battle with a 10 min limit time. Zhang Fei was on the left flank as an officer controled by the AI and at some point Meng Huo would appear there if you have been defeating him and crush that side. I always noticed how outnumbered he was there. If you go help him and only defeat Meng Huo and boost Zhang Fei's morale, he would crush everyone there on his own. Ofc , young me didn't have any idea about the moralr system and just thought "man Zhang Fei is a beast" and since then whenever a new game comes out, he is always my first character that I play.
Thats awesome! A great top 6 and a couple of uncommon choices that I 100% respect, hope you enjoyed the video! 🔥🔥
My personal top 10:
#10: Zhang Fei, from DW 2 - 5 I loved his move set and his fest's at chang ban are obviously legendary
#9: Zhang Liao, just such a skilled warrior and honourable and even accepting death at Xia Pi, also miss him having a similar weapon to Guan Yu and the focus on their rivalry.
#8: Cao Cao, a mean the guy was so cunning and intelligent and his ability to recruit talent and build what he did and his tenacity was unparalleled.
#7: Lu Bu, DW 3-5 moveset is legendary!!! It's obviously Lu Bu, fighting him at Hu Lao gate is the moment to look forward too when paying a new DW game for the first time.
#6: Zhou Thai, his commitment to Sun Quan, how he was bloody and cut up protecting him and his skills in battle, again in game his moveset is so unique and cool and his design is just badass, like a three kingdom era batman.
#5: Dian Wei, an absolute beast and always remember his x3 charge attack where he throws the axe and comes back to him, such an amazing warrior and his commitment to protecting Cao Cao is to admired, of course he died doing so at Wan castle.
#4: Zhao Yun, a mean it's Zhao Yun, loved him since DW2, the opening movie from DW5 is my favourite opening movie, his chang ban heroics obviously, such an iconic character.
#3: Lu Meng, a story of someone doubting themselves but capable of so much and acheived alot is very reminiscent of myself, he is a new favourite character but a very overlooked one and deserved more accolades.
#2: Xiahou Dun, the guy with the eye patch who ate his eye mid battle!!! So badass!!! In DW2 I loved that he had a cape so I played as him alot, HATED the mace they gave in 6, that scimitar on him is so iconic!!
#1: Guan Yu!!! The god of war, his feats in battle, his design, blue dragon, red hare, the fact Wu broke a treaty with Shu to help Wei kill him because he was such a mighty warrior, he's just so cool!!!
Such a sick list! Love reading these! Lu Meng and Dian Wei are uncommon choices to see in a top 10 list but thats so cool, loved the list! 🔥🔥
Great list I like it. My list is
10. Cao Cao
9. Zhou Yu
8. Guan Yu
7. Guan Yinping
6. Zhang Liao
5. Lu Bu
4. Gan Ning
3. Sun Shanxiang
2. Wang Yuanji
1. Xiahou Dun
Great list, love it!
Zhang He in DW3 looked like Vega from Street Fighter…but with TWO claws! 😁 I immediately picked him up, and loved the agile, pouncing moveset, and his C6 having the death element on it made him my absolute favorite character to play. That’s still my favorite move in the entire series.
Dw3 Zhang he is peak
For me, I've played since dw5 up to dw8, the list goes like this:
1. Sima Yi - i love how tactical he is shown throughout the game, even if he is sinister.. and the addition of his wife, we can see another side to him that we didn't see before. I fell in love with his claws from dw6.
2. Zhen Ji - i always love characters with musical intruments as it feels mystical, and what's better is her femme fatale personality & how she isn't afraid to show this side of her.
3. Guan Ping - reminds me of ff7 cloud, and when i saw him as the poster boy for dw5xl I'm amused. His playstyle is awesome as well, felt impactful. Sadly they made him attack slower with the increase size of his weapon. But still, his moveset is crazy strong.
4. lu Xun - love his twin daggers / twin swords playstyle, he shown his worth as a young strategist, and even become a great mentor to the likes of zhu ran (iirc) and his playstyle in dw8 is crazy.
5. Cao Pi - twin blade go burr nough said..
6. Zhou Yu - he feels so elegant, i always feel like playing that wuxia themed games..
7. Zhuge Liang - elegant wise strategist, fan magic.
8. Sun Shang Xiang - love her acrobatic moves, the chakram interest me.
9. Diao Chan - always love elegant dancer type character especially with her introduction to whip.
10. Cai Wenji - similar to Zhen Ji, musical weapon. But less importance in the story and being absurdly nice a bit meh for me hence lower rank.
Honorable Mention:
Da Qiao
Xiao Qiao
These two twin fans moveset are great. Sadly they made them more childish in the recent games, and what is up with da qiao weapon in dw8 😂
Woooow!! Some uncommon choices with Guan Ping and Cai Wenji thats really cool, solid list!
I got an idea for a video top 10 scariest character like those who the players are scared to face,the ones who look the most intimidating & the ones who make the NPC be in terror wether it’s an enemy or a teammate
Thats a great idea!
Nah this is an amazing list lol I somehow expected Zhang Liao to be in here but surprised he’s so high, it’s like someone else gets it lolol
Zhang Liao: Wu’s Worst Nightmare!
THATS CAUSE HES AWESOME HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE HIM haha yeah I love him, hes been one of my faves for a while
sun ce was one of my favourite.
his moveset is bad, i mean really bad.
but his personality and tonfa made me play so much with him.
his fourth weapon at dw5 also really strong.
His personality is awesome, tonfas are okay I agree!
Love your list! Recently found your channel and it's so fun watching since i grew up not really ever knowing anyone else who played the games lmao.
Here's my top 10, based only on the games i have read zero of the history i apologise lol😭
10. Diao Chan - Always thought she was a cool character, love her story, though she's gone down significantly because i MISS her dual maces so much😭
9. Dian Wei - A fairly new addition! I like his move set and him joining Hulao with zero backup just 'cause he's fed up with Dong Zhuo always makes me laugh.
8. Xing Cai - Loved her introduction in DW5, and her move set, she's perhaps the only younger general of Shu that i can stand lol.
7. Pang Tong - Poor little hermit, he always felt very endearing to me, like a grandad you want to help, and his death at Cheng Du (i think?) always makes me cry a little😭😂
6. Ma Chao - Another recent addition! As a kid i had an imaginary beef with him because, to me, Zhao Yun was the only cool spear guy allowed in the game😂 But age has made me appreciate his awesome appearance and great move set!
5. Gan Ning - Awesome character all around! (Weirdly i've enjoyed all his different weapons!) He's great fun to play, great contrast to sometimes other stuffy generals, and he's hot which is very important to me personally😂
4. Sun Shang Xiang - I also wish i could charge into combat boomeranging two giant blade hoops. She's cool, love the story between her and Liu Bei and then the drama with Wu's betrayal.
3. Zhou Yu - Firstly, overall the single most competant commander Wu had, imo. Him playing the flute in the DW2 cinematic is like STAMPED in my brain. He's super pretty, i love the staff move set specifically, and yeah he's just great.
2. Zhang He - A ruthlessly cunning and versatile warrior with giant claws who laments about the enemies lack of beauty on the battlefield? All while looking stunning, prima ballerina-ring and reading the men down?! What's not to love really. Zhang He is incredible!
1. Zhao Yun - OKAY, is this a basic choice? Almost definitely. But idc, when i think of DW his face is the first one that pops into my head, like he is the epitome of the game to me, if 1 vs 1000 was an actual person. Plus he's got the story, the outfits, and the move sets to back it all up!
Haha this was awesome, thoroughly enjoyed reading through! Welcome to the community, glad to have you!
I'm a Samurai Warriors guy first, but when I saw Zhenji I wanted to play DW so bad, so she's my second favourite character. She used to be my first, but as I got older, Cao Cao really impressed me how complex this character is, unfortunately the girls are not so well developed. But those two are my favourites for sure
Haha for sure, this is an old video for me my top 10 has changed but yeah they're cool
It’s crazy how similar this list is with my own even with the characters I played back in DW2 😱
Haha ayee lets go! Whos your favorite?
@@TheNightowlGaming bro my favorite is Zhang Liao, then Xiahou Dun and third is Ma Chao 💪🏾
@@thedealba4652 Some solid choices 😎
Just found your channel after seeing some pang tong videos and you analysis of him
Enjoyed it a good bit and I hope you keep it up.
Appreciate the kind words! 🙏🙏
Picking a top 10 with a roster of over 90 now is no small task. Big ups for a great list! If I had to narrow it down I’d probably go with
10. Wei Yan
9. Deng Ai
8. Dian Wei
7. Zhu Rong
6. Cao Cao
5. Sun Jian
4. Lu Bu
3. Sun Ce
2. Ma Chao
1. Gan Ning
Some honorable mentions are Guan Yu, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Bao, Lu lingqi, Sima Zhao and special shout-out to Meng Huos dw6 empires look cuz it’s the G.O.A.T!
Hell yeah! appreciate the kind words and yeah its not easy at all! Soid List! Interesting to see a couple uncommon choices like Wei Yan, Deng Ai and even Sun Jian! I respect the list 🔥
@@TheNightowlGaming appreciate that my man! Wei yan is written very weak buuuut just stylistically and gameplay wise he is crazy awesome so he makes the top 10. Sun Jian is underrated in my opinion perhaps because he is only alive for a short bit but he commands respect and to me he has always looked the best of the faction leaders, plus he is my brothers absolute favorite so he gets those subjectivity points. As for Deng Ai I can’t really explain it, I just like him. Haha. Thanks for the reply though man, I’m new to your channel but really enjoying the content! 🤙
Here is my top 10
10 Diao Chan
9 Dian Wei
8 Zhuge Liang
7 Sun Jian
6 Zhurong
5 Cao Cao
4 Lu Bu
3 Ma Chao
2 Zhou Tai
1 Guan Yu
Nice!! my new list is here: ua-cam.com/video/5J4y90j24JM/v-deo.html
Zhang liao, xun yu and sima yi have always been my favorites.
Some solid ones!
Can't stop watching your dw videos, got back into dw3 atm makes me want to play them all!
haha glad you're enjoying them!
Its been awhile since ive played the mainstream DW, mainly a Warriors Orochi fan, but I'd say my Top 5 are
5. Ma Chao (what's the thing about his history that makes people dislike him btw?)
4. Chinese Johnny Depp, Zhang Liao
4. Sun Jian
3. Wen Yang
2. Guan Yu
1. Xiahou Dun. DW3 was my first DW (SW1 was my first Warriors as a whole) and Dun was the first character I played, so he means a lot to me in each game.
Recently found your channel and loving the dynasty warriors content!! been digging the character analysis vids and also your editing is so good!
I appreciate the kind words very much! 🙏
I could never decide on a top 10 my number one spot is shared by lu bu, liu bei, guan yu, sun jian, ma chao, zhao yun, jiang wei, zhuge liang, sima zhao and i'm sure i forgot someone
Lol for sureee, I just made a new top 10 since this one was old, funny how fast things change
My top 1 is Guan Yu.
At 7 and 8 he is technically the most powerful(even Lu Bu is just 2nd). His 1st Ex attack is stupidly OP. The damage multiplier it adds along with the super armor and fire element infusion is just stupidly braindead. On his 8th iteration combining both his 1st EX and 2nd EX by activating the latter literally 1 shots Nightmare mode officers, regardless if they're unique or generic. Unblockable. Almost making Musou attacks obsolete.
My Top 10 DW Characters
1. Zhao Yun
2. Lu Bu
3. Xiahou Dun
4. Zhang Liao
5. Ma Chao
6. Cao Cao
7. Guan Yu
8. Liu Bei
9. Zhang He
10. Sun Jian
Yeah I remember his EX attack would give him that crazy boost, Guan Yu's a beast
@@michaelbandada9887 Hell yeah!
@@TheNightowlGaming Zhang He’s offense is so beautiful that it resembles something from a Katy Perry music video
A bit late to the party but my personal top 10 are...
10. Pang Tong - Great design and attitude, my personal favorite in terms of DW6 designs.
9. Lu Lingqi - Daughter of Lu Bu, need I say more? Loved seeing her appearance in the series since Dynasty Tactics 2 and was excited when she was brought back.
8. Dian Wei - The first Character I ever played in DW3, his story is also one of my favorites and was often displayed great throughout the games.
7. Zhou Cang - Next to Liao Hua, this fella is my favorite Yellow Turban turned Shu Officer.
6. Hua Xiong - Primarily because of his design, I just loved his look in DW9 so much but his hypothetical help in DW8 would've been nice to see with him playable.
5. Chen Gong - Easily my favorite strategist, Lu Bu should've listened more for sure and his scroll was a badass weapon imo.
4. Xiahou Yuan - This man, seriously can't get enough of this guy. Hated Mt. Ding Jun level because knew what was coming.
3. Gan Ning - I mean, he's a pirate with a great story and easily my favorite Wu officer. Agreed with you on everything you said, the hair in 7 and his sickle weapons were a huge disappointment to me.
2. Zhu Rong - Ugh... I mean... she has a boomerang.
1. Lu Bu - His story, gameplay, and bad ass cut scenes have pulled me in and never let go. I need Gao Shun because I need more to Lu Bu's Faction just for more perspectives.
Honorable mentions include Xu Sheng, Xu Shu, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liao, Dong Bai, Jia Chong and Fa Zheng.
It was very tough to choose because there are so many great characters both design wise and story but these take the cake for me.
Yeah so hard to make a top 10, I need to update this! But loved the list! Lots of unusual picks in there which I love to see! That's awesome
Nice list ... mine is kinda similar
Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, Xiahou Dun, Lu Xun, Jiang Wei, Zhau You, Zhou You ... can´t decide the final order haha
Nice! this is my old list, my new ones in the description for 2024 🎉
Very nice video 👍🏿 on what do u play?😊
Thank you! I play on console!
@@TheNightowlGaming oh so u have a ps 2?
@@sanghasatumavambu4434 Yes!
Zhou Yu was the most handsome in his era. Not only in game but in historical records. He was the perfect man at this time but he died too young from pandemics.
Yeah unfortnate
i rank the character based on the looks, weapon, easy play, and skill/movement.
1. of course Lu Bu the strongest😂
2. Cao Pi the twin blade
3. Zhuge Liang & Sima Yi the magician
4. Meng Hou the Forrest King
5. Ganning (you know the ult😝)
6. Da Qiao & Qiao Qiao the fun fan
7. Zhou Tai the samurai representative
8. Taishi Chi the double mace
9. Zhao yun & Ma Chao the dragon
10. 3 king (Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian) for their square-square-triangle combo varian.
11. Wei Yan, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Huang Gai, Xu Zhu, Zhang He (these are fun play character)
Wow meng huo at 4th that's super interesting, but i respect it, nice list!
Good list tough but here's my top 10 .
1 Zhou Yu I like his elegant but smart influence a strong warrior.
2 Taichi Ci An honorable strong design interesting design. Like his development in 5 and 6.
3 Ling Tong Him and Gan Nings relationship was interesting. Kinda like that teasing brother type of relationship.
4 Simi Yi he is just awesome too watch his plot too take over Wei. His development in 5 and 6 was pretty good.
5 Cao Pi I like how he shit talks his enemys mostly. He has good development in 6. It's interesting too watch him lead.
6 Liu Bei his kind heart and morals is pretty refreshing in a game like this.
7 Zhang Fei like his relationship with his brothers. It's cool seeing his passion for battle.
8 Zhang He he is always interesting and different too watch. His believe in beauty on the battlefield.
9 Lu Bu Not much too say he's a badass. Like his what if storyline in 6.
10 Gan Ning He has good development in 5 and 6. His relationship with Ling Tong is one of the best. He is also a badass in how he likes too always fight.
That's my list was hard too make tbh.
I respect the Taishi Ci and Ling Tong choices definitely uncommon but super cool. And yeah making a top 10 is so hard to do
Its so hard to pick! If I had to I would go:
10. Xu Hang
9. Lu Meng
8. Cao Ren
7. Xiahou Dun
6. Lu Xun
5. Ma Chao
4. Gan Ning
3. Sun Ce
2. Zhang Liao
1. Zhao Yun
Definitely hard choices, cao ren is a solid choice
I'm playing dw8 right now and the story is amazing all of the stories are amazing I want the story of dw8 just to be like dw10 but newer costumes newr everything.
For sure, 100% they also need to add more content for some of the characters but other than that yeah!
I saw a video that had zhang Liao as the 6th most powerful character in the game and all I can say is they discounted that he was 1v3 against Zhang fei and guan yu (lui bei) . I was like do you know how strong someone has to be for A. The character to be treated as close to a peer as it’s possible for Lu bu. And b for him to express how unbelievable it is to him that someone could have Zhang Liao on the back foot
That was my video, definitely respect the opinion I love everything DW but dude got killed by Sun Quan and Lianshi like bruh nah
@@TheNightowlGamingYeeeeaaahhh, that was pretty nutty to me, they definitely shouldn't have done that. He dies naturally historically, maybe it may have been like a hurdle for Quan, but nah that was lame
Dian Wei another good one.
Dian Wei's a beast
1. Liu Bei
2. Sun Ce
3. Cao Pi
4. Jiang Wei
5. Zhang Fei
6. Sima Yi
7. Sun Quan
8. Zhuge Liang
9. Ling Tong
10. Zhang Liao
Solid list! Ling Tong is in there, respect! Anytime somoene puts their list I always look for the unusual one or the less common one that arent as popular, so cool to see.
@@TheNightowlGaming Haha thank you mate. Your vids have got me playing the game again. Guan Ping was originally in my list as I love his design but i find him a bit dull as a character.
10. Lu Bu
9. Zhang Liao
8. Zhuge Liang
7. Ma Chao
6. Sun Ce
5. Xiaohou Dun
4. Liu Bei
3. Sun Shang Xiang (she's hot)
2. Cao Cao
1. Edgelord Cao Pi

Heck yeah great list! I made a new list just recently this ones old
“Quick and deadly! That’s the way Sun Ce does battle!” I believe that is a Dynasty Tactics quote have you played it?
I have!
My Top 10 Characters:
10. Diao Chan
9. Dian Wei
8. Liu Bei
7. Sima Yi
6. Sun Shang Xiang
5. Xiahou Dun
4. Sun Ce
3. Guan Yu
2. Lu Bu
1. Zhao Yun
Pretty solid list! The only unusualy one is Dian Wei! Respect!
Nice!
Thanks!
Here is my top 10. My Wu bias will be obvious here:
10 Lu Bu -his DW6 story still sticks out as my favorite
9 Wang Yuanji
8 Zhou Yu -he was my first character I played in the series, back in DW6
7 Cao Cao
6 Sun Shangxiang -she has fallen from when I first started, but I still like her
5 Sima Yi
4 Sun Ce
3 Zhang Liao -the boogeyman of Wu
2 Lu Meng
1 Sun Jian -he has been my favorite since I played DW6 and his DW8 weapon is my all-time favorite
I almost left out Lu Bu for Guan Yinping, but his DW6 story was too good. I left off a few that I used to like more or had great moments, but have fallen off over the years. I think DW7 ruined some of the Shu characters for me. Now when I think of Shu, the only words that come to mind are JUSTICE!, BENEVOLENCE! and arrogance.
Thats awesome, Lu meng and wang yuanji are uncommon in a top 10 and I love to see that! I gotta redo my top 10 cause it has changed
Based ranking
Yee its my own personal ranking 🤙🤙
My order isn't based on the story as much as how fun they are to play and their general look for me. 1*Zhu Ran but only if he has the flame bow.
Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Taishi Chi, Zhang Liao, Pang Tong, Gan Ning, Sun Ce, Lu Bu Halberd not windmill
Solid list! And wow Zhu Ran making the list, I respect it!
no guan yu = (
fun fact: you will see him in front of most Chinese restaurant when you enter the front with incense around him
I believe it! Just my personal picks for my fave 10, I even did a video where I scoured the internet looking for people's top 10 characters and made a video on who the most popular characters were and surprisingly Guan Yu is not as popular as you think :)
@@TheNightowlGaming I'm just kidding. ofc this is your list and opinion. I'm surprise by your picks. Pretty unique. I honestly haven't played since dynasty warrior 4 on ps2. I saw there was a netflix movie and just wanted to check out some dynasty warrior videos on youtube.
guan yu is a pretty old school character. he isn't really cool or hip. very traditional imo. but i do remember playing zhao yun and ma chao a lot and you got them both on your list.
@@MouseCIick Hell yeah thats awesome, OG fan, and yeah spear wielders were always fun to me 🔥🔥
Zhu Rong baby
Nanman forces on top! 🙌🏻
Nicee!
most played is lu bu, but my fav is ling tong dw5, lu lingqi dw8
Nicee
Heh to me Lu Bu is #1, 2 and 3. The fact he's the strongest, not aligned with any of the main forces, and represented in a veeery cool way really make him stand out. After that, it's hard to say but probably Zhuge Liang.
Edit: alright, just for the lulz my top 10 would be 1. Lu Bu 2. Zhuge Liang 3. Ma Chao 4. Zhao Yun 5. Zhang Liao 6. Guan Yu 7. Taishi Ci 8. Xu Huang 9. Sun Ce (DW6) 10. Yan Liang.
LOL Yan Liang? Very interesting, uncommon answer, hella respect it! I got to make a new one of this, mine has changed
@@TheNightowlGaming sweet, can't wait to see the new one!
Yeah Yan Liang was done dirty by Guan Yu (a lot of credit goes to Red Hare), he was popping off otherwise! I was also tempted to name Hua Xiong for similar reasons but I prefer Yan Liang overall. Unlike Hua Xiong, he wasn't really defeated fair and square (although I suppose you could say Hua Xiong was tired after beating all those officers/generals).
Also I LOVE the later Han period of DW (up to 200 AD), there's that too 😅
Maybe I love 6 because of Lu Bu.
Same! Loved his story
@@TheNightowlGaming Zhang Liao probably my second best character so Lu Bu faction, Lu Bu side is no brainer for me)
Bro, the voice acting in dynasty warriors 3 is above all others in video games…. Sun quan and zhang Liao’s voices in the game were just perfect
Interesting, they definitely werent bad, but for the time it was pretty good!
@@TheNightowlGaming you have to go back and play then lol listen to their voices specifically, play He Fei plains and you’ll see what I mean
Zhang He’s offense is truly beautiful and it resembles a ballerina kicking chumps left and right.
Xiahou Dun: My lord, why did you recruit Zhang He? He looks awfully weird!
Cao Cao: Well, as long as he has the skills to show in battle, he’s cool to join us. After all, I got both Dian Wei who’s a bloody thug and Xu Zhu’s a big, fat boy. Heck, I recruited Jia Xu, that treacherous clown who nearly killed me! As long as you have talent, regardless of your background, I shall recruit you!
Cao Cao would probably be hailed by everyone for being tolerant and accepting of everyone regardless of their background if Cao Cao would exist in modern times
Cao Cao would be our modern day hero, 100% dude doesnt discriminate on anything but talent alone
@@TheNightowlGaming Cao Cao would also be hailed as a friend of the LGBT community since he recruited Zhang He who’s been portrayed as a flamboyant, butt kicking exotico and if I can imagine modern day CEO Cao Cao having a job interview with Zhang He
Cao Cao: Do you have any previous work experience?
Zhang He: Yes, I do but unfortunately, I resigned from my job
Cao Cao: Why?
Zhang He: Duh! It’s my former boss! He’s so annoying and overrated! He always says that there’s only one diva in the workplace and that’s him! ( a reference to Yuan Shao’s current incarnation in the Dynasty Warriors games)

Nicee! my new top 10 is in the description
