Dong Zhuo fights elegantly akin to most ruler-sword users, much like a fencer, but takes advantage of his tremendous bulk in his Musou attack, during which he flips sideways into the air and lands on the ground, causing a massive tremor. However, while he has good raw strength, his mobility is often lacking along with the fact that his fifth and sixth normal attack inputs lack decent coverage long with his C4, making him difficult to use in crowds but more effective in duels.
