Dynasty Warriors
Zhou Yu's style of fighting is one for any level of player though his true potential is best unlocked with a more advanced player. His main strength lies in the versatility of his attacks as they work well in both a crowd and against an officer. His running attack is good for mowing down groups of enemies and his Musou is good for fighting strong officers one on one. His Musou and a number of his charge attacks also set up ideal conditions for 'juggling' combinations.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu schemed to have Zhuge Liang disgraced or killed at the Battle of Chi Bi to avoid having him become a threat in the future. He was foiled each time -partially through the efforts of Lu Su- and his frustration resulted in the aggravation of a battle wound, causing his sickness and death.
