Fighting Style
In Dynasty Warriors 4 and onward, Jiang Wei is an excellent beginner character and is good in many situations.

His second special in Warriors Orochi can be considered cheap, since it's a fast attack that is unblockable and costs little to no musou. One of his only weaknesses is that musou is hard to aim fully, but gets easier with each installment.
