Fighting Style

Dong Zhuo fights elegantly akin to most ruler-sword users, much like a fencer, but takes advantage of his tremendous bulk in his Musou attack. While he has good raw strength, his mobility is often lacking. Some of his attacks lack decent coverage, making him difficult to use in crowds but more effective in one-on-one confrontations.

Unique Attacks: Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Stunned + : Dong Zhuo's finisher has him trigger a thermal explosion on the ground via flail slam.
