Role in Games
During his Kessen II appearance, Cheng Yu is a a sadistic strategist for Cao Cao who proposes many crafty and diabolical schemes during war concils and political stages of the game. He has a habbit to chuckle or giggle at thought of one of his plans being used in war. Though he acts rotten, Cheng Yu actually harbors respect for the working populace and is compelled to help them. His speck of empathy is officially described as the reason why Cao Cao acquired him, but Cheng Yu personally detests the softer side of himself. He leads an army of bowmen into battle and can hurl destructive magic at his foes. He can also rally to boost a unit's morale.
