Fighting Style
Not much has changed with Sun Shang Xiang, though her fourth and sixth charges benefit immensely from either Lightning or Vorpal Orbs. Her jump charge can be used to quickly take out thinner crowds, but it is easily interrupted in higher difficulties.

Strategy - Volley: Increases damage inflicted by all allied projectile weapons including guns and cannons.
Fighting Style
Although Sun Shang Xiang is still a reliable crowd clearer thanks to her fourth and sixth charges, her juggling abilities and attack speed are hampered by her strongest weapon being heavy in weight. While Xtreme Legends rectifies this by preventing heavy weapon users from being flinched while attacking, it still leaves Sun Shang Xiang vulnerable to damage especially in the high difficulty settings like Hard or Chaos.
When controlled by the AI in Dynasty Warriors 5, most of Sun Shang Xiang's charge attacks will be imbued with the fire element by default.
In Warriors Orochi, Sun Shang Xiang is more flexible thanks to her speed-type abilities enabling her to cancel attack animations via special maneuvers or air dashing when needed. Plus, giving her a weapon with the Agility attribute mitigates the slow start-up time with some of her attacks. Notably, the first game had a glitch where foes would be struck multiple times by her directional special move if they were sandwiched between it and a wall. Because the situation forces them into a standing position, the combo would go on until they lose all their health and be forcibly launched.
Sun Shang Xiang is affiliated with the bow in this title. Despite sharing the same moveset with Yue Ying, some of her attacks have different traits or effects. The inclusion of new weapons in Special makes her the sole user of the bow moveset.

Special Attacks

The amount of arrows she fires with each shot normally nullifies these weaknesses anyway especially when paired up with her Volley skill.
When controlled by the AI in Strikeforce, Sun Shang Xiang's attacks will be imbued with the fire element by default.
