Fighting Style
Ling Tong's unique fighting style involves quick flailing strikes to clear away foes. His fourth, fifth, and sixth charges work well for that purpose and synergize well with the Ice Orb. Alternatively, he is quite good at juggling foes continuously with very little lag. His first charge can be useful for escaping difficult situations. When performing his Musou attack, players will want to focus on one officer at a time due to its limited range.

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

As with all Dynasty Warriors characters, Ling Tong retains his moveset in the first two Warriors Orochi games. He benefits immensely from weapons imbued with a variety of attributes like Flash, Bolt, or Slay. When used together with his first charge, he can make quick work of enemy officers even in higher difficulty settings. Note that the Agility attribute may not be of much help for him since his attacks are already fast to begin with.

Fighting Style
In Dynasty Warriors 6: Special, Ling Tong receives a unique weapon in the form of a three-sectioned staff. It works almost similarly to his old nunchakus except his Musou now has better crowd clearing capabilities. He works better when using a standard weapon due to the additional range helping him increase his Renbu levels.

When controlled by the AI in Strikeforce, Ling Tong's attacks will be imbued with the metal element by default.
