Shi Huangdi

Shi Huangdi (始皇帝) is the main antagonist in Shin Sangoku Musou Multi Raid 2. He mainly appears as an elderly gentleman, but he can transform into a gigantic beast or into a younger version of himself for his Warriors appearance.

He is historically credited with founding the unified Empire of China around 221 BCE, beginning construction of the Great Wall along with many other great projects at the expense of countless lives. As emperor, he was renown for his ruthlessness and tyrannical efforts to shape the country according to his vision and extravagant lifestyle. He lived to be only 50 years old, ironically due to consumption of mercury in an effort to prolong his life.

The height for his normal human form in his Dynasty Warriors appearance is 178 cm (5'10").

Role in Game
Shi Huangdi, a tyrannical ruler with mystical powers, has been revived after the devastation caused by Lu Bu's revolt and death from the first title. With the power to resurrect old heroes and gods at his command, he disrupts the new found peace and desires to create an "undying, eternal empire" for himself. In order to fulfill his ambitions, he also resurrects Xiang Yu and gains Huang Quan as an ally. The heroes of the Three Kingdoms band together to stop him.

Gameplay
Shi Huangdi is not playable in the vanilla game, but he is by using a Game Shark mod made by a hacker called Osmund Neuron. This mod adds new charge attacks for characters and allows players to control non-playable monsters and characters.

As playable Shi Huangdi uses the same attacks he does as an CPU opponent but loses his teleport. His attacks have the longest range in the series. The new attacks added by the mod makes him the strongest playable character in the game. His moves tend to be powerful rapid strikes such as his ability to summon multiple pillars, axe attacks, and magical strikes.

His Weapon Elemental is always dark even if a hack is used to change the elemental type to water, fire, etc. His Special Fury Attack summons numerous dark stones to fall from the sky and hit the nearby enemies. In his Young Form, his Special Fury Attack instead conjures dark energy projectiles. In both forms his Fury Attacks can be prolonged with a special combination of buttons using the special move addon, Multi-Raid2 Golden Edition Mod.

His monstrous form is playable in the "Arena Mode", a modification of the final quest that allows players to fight him. The player can choose an enemy and fight using one of the monsters.

In his Young Form he is the only character in the series to be able to switch between weapons (Golden Sword,Golden Club and Golden Axe) while in his first weapon mode. These are the only weapons he actually uses while fighting. Neither his Old Form, nor his Dragon Form uses weapons, but sorcery.
