Main Attacks: Charge Attack 1: : Huang Zhong takes out his bow and shoots five arrows straight ahead while holding it horizontally. Can lock onto the nearest targets in both the base game and Xtreme Legends. While normal arrows are used for this attack, they will not be taken from the player's own arrow stock.

Fighting Style

Although Huang Zhong now uses the bow for certain attacks, his blade-based moveset remains mostly unchanged. His first charge/C1 is great for eliminating troops units and stalling officers. It also helps that Huang Zhong has the strongest bow attack stat alongside Xiahou Yuan. The third charge can be used to inflict heavy damage if performed with a powerful weapon. It should be noted that the aforementioned moves are affected by the Fire Arrows item, meaning Huang Zhong can further weaken foes from a safe distance, or inflict dispersing knockback on foes with lower bow defense + increased bow attack stats on Huang Zhong.

Said C1 can even snipe vertical targets within horizontal distance, such as on high towers or below certain cliffs.

When controlled by the AI in Empires, Huang Zhong's charge attacks will be imbued with the lightning element by default.

The last volley shot is shrouded in yellow-colored energy and dizzies foes that they hit, but cannot pierce through units.

Warriors Orochi

Modified Attacks: Charge Attack 1: : Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, but the arrows now fly in a fan arc instead. The first volley also has ice and slay properties. The sequel only allows it to inflict elemental damage when used as an enhanced charge attack.; Charge Attack 3: : Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, but the arrows now fly in a fan arc while traveling faster. The sequel allows it to inflict elemental damage when used as an enhanced charge attack.; Jump Charge: : Functions similarly to its base game incarnation, though the arrows are fired at a fan arc and imbued with stun properties.; Enhanced Strike/EX Charge Attack: Tapping R1 instead of for most grounded charge attacks will enhance their damage output and attack speed while also lacing them fully with elemental activation. Multi-input charge attacks will automatically go through their full sequence when enhanced. Consumes a portion of Musou when used.; Airborne Critical Hit: All Charge Attacks, including Enhanced Strikes or Extra Counters can inflict critical hit carried over from Samurai Warriors 2 on airborne targets. Critical hits are normally a x1.4 damage increase.

New Attacks: Special Attack/Type Action: R1 (C4-EX-SP): Huang Zhong lifts himself to the air while spinning upside-down and fires a volley of arrows below him. The arrows themselves are shot at a funnel-shaped pattern and can break through the enemy's guard. However, they are unable to pierce through multiple foes. Consumes 20 Musou points. The sequel changes up this move by making its funnel-range more narrow in exchange for being able to utilize weapon attributes.; Counter Attack/Extra Counter: Counter + R1: Fires energy-infused arrows in a fan formation to stun foes momentarily while flipping back for safety. Note that this attack cannot pierce through several enemies, making it less reliable against larger crowds.

Team Abilities: Ability 1 - Recover: Gradually regains the team's life.; Ability 2 - Focus: Increases the team's Musou.; Ability 3 - Speed: Increases attack of Speed-type characters.

Warriors Orochi 2

Team Attacks: Assist Attack: Counter + L1 + or : Huang Zhong performs his special attack to assist a teammate.

As the whole team finishes up, a bright pillar of light generates at the intersection of their attack range and engulfs the surrounding area. Enemies caught by the blast sustain massive damage while being flung to the air and set on fire.; Unique Triple Attack: Low Health + L2 + R2 + : If Huang Zhong performs a triple attack with Xiahou Yuan and Ina, the three of them will eschew their usual combo motions in favor of pelting the enemy with volleys of arrows infused with energy. The ensuing barrage leads to them producing a pillar of light accompanied by more arrows raining down near its boundary, causing massive damage to surrounding foes while setting them ablaze.; Strategy - Volley: Increases damage inflicted by all allied projectile weapons including guns and cannons.

Fighting Style

In Dynasty Warriors 5, Huang Zhong's arrow-based attacks benefit immensely from being able to pass through multiple enemies, making his first charge extremely effective for crowd clearing. Like in the last installment, he becomes stronger if equipped with the Fire Arrow item. He also gains a useful escape maneuver in the form of his new jump charge which can also be used to slip past a blocking enemy officer.

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

Warriors Orochi has Huang Zhong gain two special attacks to further complement his fighting style. Players will find his second charge attack great for quickly slaying enemy officers if their weapon for him is stacked with certain maxed out attributes.

In Warriors Orochi 2, he has been considerably nerfed due to arrows no longer activating elemental attributes unless used as part of an enhanced charge attack.

Warriors Orochi 3

Changed Attacks: Jump Attack: : Bears similarity to the bow moveset's jump attack, though Huang Zhong's version instantly converts his aerial momentum downward.; Jump Charge: : Flips in mid-air and fires two shots on the ground. Hits the ground with quakes per shot.

Team Abilities: Ability 1 - Efficacy: Increases damage inflicted upon enemy officers for all team members.; Ability 2 - Vigor: Increases damage inflicted with combo attacks for all team members. Only available in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate.

Special Attacks: Musou Attack: : Huang Zhong performs Ultra Volley as their ground Musou attack.; Counter Attack: Counter + L1 + : Quickly swats away an enemy's attack, causing them to stagger briefly.; Assist Attack: Counter + L1 or R1: Huang Zhong performs the fourth charge attack to assist a teammate while surrounded within an updraft of wind for extra coverage.

Grounded Type Action: R1: Kneels down on the ground and aims upward, rapidly firing volleys of arrows that home in on the target thrice from left to right. Because these arrows fly in an arc, they may end up missing if the target is within a certain distance.

Midair Type Action:

R1: Fires three volleys of arrows in a row while somersaulting in the air. Has a unique camera angle that always shifts towards the right upon the move's execution. Bears similarities to Huang Zhong's old jump charge from the fifth game.

Aerial Thrust:

: Performs an aerial somersault to avoid enemy attacks in mid-air.

Normal Strategy Card: Archers' Ambush (伏兵斉射; lit. "Ambush Salvo"): Summons a volley of arrows to rain down at the opponent continuously for a few seconds.

Golden Strategy Card: Decorated Veteran (老将の威厳; lit. "Old Veteran's Dignity"): Reduces both officers' movement speed temporarily.

Team Attacks: Triple Rush 1: Slides on the ground and releases a mobile shockwave via upward shot.; Triple Rush 2: Juggles enemies by rapidly firing at them at close range.; Triple Rush 3: Aims a downward shot that unleashes a massive energy wave on the earth.; Unique Triple Rush: Together with Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, Huang Zhong can perform a unique triple rush attack against the enemy. He follows up Ma Chao's attack by unleashing several volleys of arrows fired forward in a fan spread.

Fighting Style

His Online Z iteration makes use of unextended charge attacks that are simple yet effective. The sixth charge and evolution attack work best against large groups of enemies, though players are recommended to perform the combos leading up to these attacks from a slightly shorter distance when facing stronger opponents.

: Systematically rains a volley of six arrows in a half circle towards enemies below from left to right, then somersaults in time to fire one last spread that produces a powerful crater impact.
