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 can be replicated by wielding a weapon with the Almighty skill. Has also been adjusted to hit closer in relation to Guan Ping's position.
 * Charge Attack 2: undefined: Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, though it can now pierce through the enemy's guard due to its inherent flash attribute. The sequel removes that trait entirely.
 * Charge Attack 3:  undefined: Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, though its radial shockwave effect can no longer inflict elemental damage. The sequel rectifies this issue by allowing it to use weapon elements once more.
 * Charge Attack 4:   undefined: Warriors Orochi 2 has the fully extended version of this attack inflict elemental damage only on the last hit.
 * Charge Attack 5:    undefined: Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, but has been adjusted to hit closer in relation to Guan Ping's position.
 * Charge Attack 6:     undefined: Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, but can no longer inflict elemental damage to complement the attack's fire properties.


 * New Attacks
 * Special Attack: R1: Launches a powerful solid swing that sends foes flying far away. Cannot be guarded against. Consumes 50 Musou points.
 * Hyper Armor: Prevents enemies from interrupting combos with normal attacks.


 * Team Abilities
 * Ability 1 - Vitality: Increases the team's life.
 * Ability 2 - Power: Increases attack of Power-type characters.
 * Ability 3 - Acclaim: Increases experience points gained.
 * Ability 4 - Potence: Increases the team's attack.

Fighting Style
By virtue of being a heavy hitter, Guan Ping's main weaknesses are his slow speed and mediocre accuracy. His first and fifth charge attacks include different projectiles that relatively generate far in front of him. This makes judging where to apply these attacks rather difficult. Guan Ping is also vulnerable when performing them due to their slow activating time. To alleviate these weaknesses, a light weapon is recommended. It is also not a bad idea to give Guan Ping the Wing Scroll in order to expand his short range.

Being better at crowd clearing, players should make Guan Ping's fourth charge their main attack option as it works especially well with the Ice Orb or Shadow Orb. Due to his sixth charge having a built-in fire element, he does not have much use for the Fire Orb as it works better with characters who have superior juggling skills, something he does not do well.

Unlike other characters, the entire chain of his third charge attack is not the greatest stall move for officers as it sports a small accuracy ratio. The ending shockwave, however, can break their guard and stun enemies.

When controlled by the AI in Dynasty Warriors 5, most of Guan Ping's charge attacks will be imbued with the fire element by default.

In the original Warriors Orochi, Guan Ping was widely considered a high-ranked character. Before being nerfed in the sequel, Guan Ping's fourth charge attack was considered to be overpowered due to its elemental properties. The Agility attribute, while useful for speeding up charge attacks, need to be set at a lower level in order to render Guan Ping's combos more usable. Other elements like Slay, Flash, and Bolt work well for him.

In Warriors Orochi 2, some changes have been made to Guan Ping's moveset. The only attacks with element activation, unless equipped with the Almighty skill, are his third charge attack's shockwave finisher and the last swing of his fourth charge chain. Luckily, his sixth charge attack still retains its fire explosion and helps drain the health of enemies.

Base Game
Guan Ping is affiliated with the polearm in this title. Despite sharing the same moveset with other characters, some of his attacks have different traits or effects.


 * Standard Attacks
 * undefined Renbu String Infinite: Similar to the third undefined Renbu string, but includes a ground slam by driving pike to the earth and unleashing a powerful burst of energy from it.
 * Charge Attack: Holding undefined: Performs a sliding diagonal slash that sends out a powerful burst of energy once Guan Ping attains infinite Renbu.
 * Dash Charge: Dashing + undefined: Delivers a running overhead slash directed at the ground, triggering a fiery quake effect that sets foes on fire.
 * Jump Charge: undefined: Rises slightly in mid-air before smashing the ground with pike's bladed end, producing tremors that cause dirt to violently fly out.


 * Special Attacks
 * Musou Attack: : Does an empowered version of the first to third Renbu string repeatedly with the last motions comprised of two horizontal slashes done back and forth and a hopping slam that produces a circular burst of energy.
 * True Musou Attack: Low Health + : Similar to the regular Musou attack, but adds the fire attribute to each hit.
 * Special Move - True Speed: L2: Allows the user to continuously perform running attacks while receiving a slight boost in attack power and hit speed. Also increases speed of horse if activated while riding. Upon activating this move, Guan Ping leans forward while positioning his weapon in a protective stance as he runs at high speed. He also gains an innate fire element under the effects of this move, allowing him to burn foes with the following attacks listed below.
 * True Speed Attack: True Speed + : Launches side swings from left to right. Has an innate fire element, enabling Guan Ping to burn foes for extra damage.
 * True Speed Charge: True Speed + undefined: Slams the ground to unleash a massive fiery surge that sends foes flying. Its above average range makes it ideal for crowd clearing.


 * Officer Skills
 * Arrow Guard: Reduces arrow damage taken by half.
 * Recovery: Improves the effect of recovery items.
 * Spirit: Increases the amount of Musou gained.
 * Swift-Foot: Increases movement speed.
 * Lady Luck: Improves the chances of acquiring better weapons and horses.
 * Bonus Special: Receives one tome for defeating 300 enemies each time.
 * Pouch: Allows character to carry up to 2 tomes while making them appear more frequently.
 * Bag: Allows character to carry up to 3 tomes while making them appear much more frequently.


 * Tome Skills
 * Overawe: Reduces defense of nearby enemies upon activating special move.
 * Battlecry: Stuns nearby enemies upon activating special move.
 * Shadow: Creates multiple images during True Speed, enabling the character to inflict additional hits.

Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires
Guan Ping gains additional abilities and traits in this title.


 * Special Move - Brace: Temporarily avoids being stunned by most enemy attacks.
 * Additional Move - True Speed: Serves the same function like in the base game.
 * Officer Card - Dragon's Will (青龍の志; lit. "Blue Dragon's Spirit"): Increases the amount of experience gained by the player when invading.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce

 * Enemy-Only Attacks
 * Shockwave Attack: Unleashes a small radial shockwave to repel nearby foes while providing additional breathing room for incoming attacks. Only used in Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce.


 * Card Combination
 * Warrior Generations (軍神の教え; lit. "War God's Precepts")
 * Required Characters: Guan Yu, Guan Ping
 * Bonus: +30 to Academy

Fighting Style
In Dynasty Warriors 6, Guan Ping's attacks have wider arcs of range, as the halberd he uses has more reach than his previous sword. No elements come with Guan Ping's shared fighting style, though a giant shockwave usually accompanies his stronger attacks. Being a True Speed specialist, his tome skills can render foes more vulnerable while providing him with shadow clones that follow his every movement for additional attack range.

When controlled by the AI in Strikeforce, Guan Ping's attacks will be imbued with the fire element by default.
