Fighting Style
Meng Huo is a very slow attacker and runner, often forcing players to find means to fix his weaknesses. His attack power is perhaps equal to or even higher than Lu Bu's, though it is risky to face large crowds in harder battles without coming prepared. His Musou attack is powerful, yet it is balanced out by his small Musou gauge which can be rectified by equipping a high-leveled Dragon Amulet.
