Dynasty Warriors 4/Strategy Type

Officers in Dynasty Warriors 4 are given a designated strategy which determines how well they can fight other characters when controlled by the computer. When facing an equally strong opponent on their own, the unit's strategy type acts as the deciding factor between victory or defeat (which may or may not tie into overall morale). Unlike unique characters, NPC officers typically use normal strategies with a few exceptions.
