Warriors Orochi

 * Modified Attacks
 * Charge Attack 1: undefined: Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, but can inflict elemental damage. The sequel removes that trait entirely though. It also has an added animation in which Xing Cai raises her shield up while generating a green aura that temporarily repels and damages enemies that come into contact with her.


 * New Attacks
 * Special Attack 1: R1: Thrusts shield forward to stun foes for a brief moment. Does not consume Musou and cannot be interrupted when performed.
 * Special Attack 2: Direction + R1: Backflips in the air while generating a current of energy that damages small groups of enemies. Does not consume Musou.
 * Aerial Thrust: : Xing Cai somersaults forward in mid-air, allowing her to jump cancel attacks or travel further.


 * Team Abilities
 * Ability 1 - Technique: Increases attack of Technique-type characters.
 * Ability 2 - Impulse: Increases the team's speed.
 * Ability 3 - Refill: Gradually regains the team's Musou.
 * Ability 4 - Fortitude: Increases the team's defense.

Fighting Style
Xing Cai relies heavily on her multiple hits and broad range. Her fork has a long range, and she is arguably the character with the longest physical reach. She deals damage with both her shield and fork, making her a crowd killer. However, she doesn't deal much damage, and it is not recommended to use her to fight one on one. Nonetheless, Xing Cai is one of two playable characters (the other being Cao Ren) who has the ability to withstand regular hits when attacking due to using a shield.

When controlled by the AI in Dynasty Warriors 5, most of Xing Cai's charge attacks will be imbued with the light element by default.

She retains her moveset in Warriors Orochi, though her flexibility in canceling attacks along with activating multiple elements in every charge makes her more viable in harder battles. Her first charge attack has also been modified to invoke the repelling aura used by certain characters in Samurai Warriors 2.

Fighting Style
Her Online Z counterpart's sword and shield attacks are fast and easy to build combos with. While they do not have much in the way of button input extensions, each charge works well for their specific function with the fourth charge being the most effective. Her Musou attack can easily mow down foes if the Musou gauge is high enough to include more motions after the initial energy burst.
