Xiahou Dun/Weapons

Here is a collection of Xiahou Dun's weapons in the Warriors series.

Level 10 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Battle of Xia Pi (Wei)
 * Requirements: Wait till the arrow cutscene happens, then defeat Diao Chan. (Wei)

Level 11 Weapon Acquisition

 * Stage: Skirmish at Xia Pi
 * Restrictions: No bodyguards, no items
 * Requirements: Defeat Cao Xing on the first encounter before he flees, re-encounter him afterwards for the unique dialogue message (without entering the top left of the castle map), and get 100 KOs.

Strategy

 * 1) Defeat Cao Xing before he flees. Using Xiahou Dun's link combo of repeating his normal attack string up to his 5th input on Cao Xing may be able to frame-lock him enough to defeat him consistently enough as he will not fight back.
 * 2) Go to the top right corner of the castle via jumping over wooden boxes in the middle river afterwards.
 * 3) Xiahou Dun will say something when he meets with Cao Xing after he re-appears. This needs to be triggered before Yuan Shu arrives (Cao Xing does not need to be defeated right away when this triggers).
 * 4) Receive 100 KOs. The top-left of the castle can now be accessed without losing the weapon once the prior dialogue triggers as you can safely score the KOs needed and pick up some items to boost your performance and/or survivability.

Note: Apparently if you leave the middle river and land on the top left side of the castle before triggering the dialogue with Cao Xing, you will lose the weapon.
