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 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 the only character (other than Cao Ren) who has the ability to withstand regular attacks due to her use of a shield (via innate hyper armor whenever she's attacking). Under the control of the A.I., her charge attacks become augmented with the light element.

She keeps her moveset from Dynasty Warriors 5 in Warriors Orochi, though her flexibility in cancels alongside proc'ing elements on most of her charge attacks improve her more. Her new C1 buff also enables her to knock enemies off of their feet for easy juggles, especially with the proper elements equipped to proc on her activation attacks.

Dynasty Warriors 7

 * Musou - Shield Charge (月光突): : Charges forward, surrounded by a powerful aura. Classified as a Multi-strike Musou in Next and used in Warriors Orochi 3.
 * Alternate Musou - Comet Strike (流星落): R1 + : Briefly charges forward. If she hits anyone close, she knocks her opponent high into the air with her shield and throws them back down with a backflip.


 * Dynasty Warriors Next
 * Speed Musou - Scythe: Tap both sides of screen: Inflicts powerful diagonal slashes back and forth while standing in place, then emits a radial shockwave by tossing shield around self like a boomerang.


 * Warriors Orochi 3

 * , undefined: Dives from a considerable height and smashes shield into the ground, colliding against nearby foes below.
 * R1: Surfs shield through the enemy ranks.
