Fighting Style

 * -|Dynasty Warriors 3=

Fighting Style
Zhang Jiao fights using a staff that can channel fire magic. He fights erratically, reminiscent of a non-human primate, and gives off a sharp, high-pitched battle cry. He is one of the most difficult characters to use, with few adequate crowd clearing moves and poor defense values. He also lacks any crashing knockback attacks to scatter foes.

However, Zhang Jiao can be good for situations where fire is very effective, such as gradually chipping away health. His fourth charge attack in closed spaces and corners can rack up godly damage if aimed right, and his Musou attack is good for crowd clearing as well.
