Cao Pi

The son of Cao Cao, husband of Zhen Ji and future emperor of China. First appeared as playable in Dynasty Warriors 5. He wields a double sided sword, which he can separate as he pleases.

In Dynasty Warriors 5, whilst several characters have been portrayed as corrupt, megalomanical, arrogant and merciless, Cao Pi is the first to be portrayed as inherently evil. He shows great admiration for his father though he constantly states how he has 'his own ambitions' and therefore is not content on carrying on his legacy.

Gameplay
Cao Pi is a very versitile fighter, his attacks with his blade are often mixed with various forms of magical attack such as exploding orbs. As such, he is an easy character to play as and is good for beginners. His attack, and musou stats are below average, whilst his defense and life are slightly above average.

Weapons
Cao Pi has only appeared in two games, Dynasty Warriors 5 and Dynasty Warriors 6, therefore he doesn't have a set weapon due to the changes made to all characters in Dynasty Warriors 6. However, he uses two conjoining swords in Dynasty Warriors 5 and a Cloned Moveset of the sword in Dynasty Warriors 6.
