 * Charge Attack 1: undefined: Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, though it can now inflict elemental damage. The sequel removes that trait entirely, but it can be replicated by wielding a weapon with the Almighty skill.

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

Sun Jian is an exceptional character in the first two Warriors Orochi installments. His second special move briefly allows infinite usage of Musou-based attacks at the cost of his life, without a doubt making him one of the most useful character to have in a team. The best way to maximize this move is to equip the whole party with the Adrenaline and Recover skills. It is also recommended to attach the Drain attribute to Sun Jian's weapon in order for him to sustain more health.

His first charge is very effective due to triggering multiple elements, though the sequel nerfs it back to how it was in the fifth game. On the plus side, Sun Jian can systematically take advantage of Triple Musou attacks by using his life-draining special move. It should be noted that this method is not completely foolproof as the player will need to properly position themselves in order to fully maximize the range of Triple Musou combos.
