 * -|Dynasty Warriors 3=

Fighting Style
Jiang Wei shares most of Ma Chao's quick spear motions which involve plenty of quick swings and flashy footwork. However, his attacks are arguably more crowd-oriented, giving him better utility than most characters. While his Musou attack is hard to aim properly, it gradually becomes easier to use with each installment. Due to the lightning element attached to his fourth weapon, he can make quick work of crowds with only a few targets to hit.
