Fighting Style

Jiang Wei shares most of Ma Chao's quick spear motions which involve plenty of quick swings and flashy footwork. However, his attacks are arguably more crowd-oriented, giving him better utility than most characters. While his Musou attack is hard to aim properly, it gradually becomes easier to use with each installment. Due to the lightning element attached to his fourth weapon, he can make quick work of crowds with only a few targets to hit.

Players have the option of shooting faster by tapping , , or repeatedly. Although the user remains stationary during the attack's animation, they can turn left or right while aiming.

In the Japanese script, he gives the attack a name of its own (神弓雷光閃; lit. "God Bow Lightning Flash").; Summon Magic: R1 + : Summons mount to Jiang Wei's side.

Sample video of Jiang Wei's fighting style.

Jiang Wei is affiliated with the double-edge trident in this title. When equipped with it, Jiang Wei can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

Unique Attacks: Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Stunned + : Jiang Wei finishes his flow attack by hurling his weapon like a boomerang to juggle victims into the air. This move is directly taken from the double-edge trident moveset's sixth charge in the eighth game.; Unique Trigger Attack: R1 + : Jiang Wei leaps up into the air and stabs the ground upon landing, producing a lightning bolt that spreads out into an electric radial shockwave to knock down surrounding enemies. Takes cues from Jiang Wei's second EX attack in Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends.; Special Technique: R1 + : Twirls weapon forward as it radiates electricity, then does a forward spin strike that sends out a lightning-infused radial shockwave. The first part of the attack is based on the Double-Edge Trident's prior third charge (C3) from the eighth installment, while the second part of the attack is based on Jiang Wei's first EX attack (C3-EX) from the previous two installments (the 雷鳴斬; lit. "Thunderclap Slash").; Musou Attack: : Launches a series of diagonal strikes and thrusts done in alternating order while moving forward at a steady pace. Jiang Wei finishes the assault by pivoting once, thrusting an enemy with his lightning-infused weapon, charging forward while emanating electric currents, then leaping up to slam the ground and causing a giant bolt to come crashing down. The move itself is based on his Thunder Charge Musou attack from previous games with Jiang Wei calling the attack by its original name in the Japanese script.; Aerial Musou Attack: : Hurls trident into the ground while airborne, causing it to generate multiple lightning bolts on the area to shock multiple enemies. Based on Jiang Wei's Thunder Dragon Musou attack from past titles, though the Japanese quotations used for it have been slightly altered.

Holding L2 as the horse approaches will allow the character to automatically mount them.; Auto-Run: Riding Mode + L2: Automatically runs towards a specified destination.

May vary depending on what type of weapon is equipped.; Horse Musou Attack: Riding Mode + : Causes horse to sprint by consuming Musou instead of stamina.; Dismount Horse: Riding Mode + : Dismounts from horse and resumes default fighting stance.
