Fighting Style

In Dynasty Warriors 6, Gan Ning is arguably the quickest character in the game. His skills emphasize speed and his attacks are naturally fast at any Renbu level. His weapons are two short knives, which have slightly shorter range than his previous scimitar. Offensive strategies continue to work best with Gan Ning as he can keep up the pressure as long as he is near his enemies. Though he lacks reliable crowd control attacks and has a relatively weak defense, his quick reflexes and agility will more than likely balance these out in the end.

When controlled by the AI in Strikeforce, Gan Ning's attacks will be imbued with the water element by default.

EX Attack:

: Hooks sickle chain around an opponent, drags them high up into the air, then piledrives their whole body to the ground while triggering an explosive blast that leaves behind a large fissure.
