Fighting Style

Xiahou Yuan has not changed much from the previous game, though his new moves help differentiate him a bit from characters with similar motions. In the Xtreme Legends expansion, his fifth weapon's death element gives him a massive edge in handling enemy crowds via sixth charge.

Fighting Style

In Dynasty Warriors 4, Xiahou Yuan exchanges his sword for a club while retaining much of his moveset. Similar to Huang Zhong, his archery skills have been incorporated into his new first charge/C1 which has dispersing knockback potential provided his bow attack stats are high enough vs. the victims' bow defense, and equipping fire arrows are also an option to consider.

However, Xiahou Yuan's C1 is rather limited in usage with it only locking-on to the nearest single target as opposed to splitting between multiple close-enough ones, but it is still a potent move regardless to snipe enemies from the distance or vertical targets within horizontal distance (such as at high towers or steep cliffs).

Main Attacks: Charge Attack 1: : Xiahou Yuan takes out his bow and shoots five arrows straight ahead while holding it horizontally. While normal arrows are used for this attack, they will not be taken from the player's own arrow stock.

Unlike in the past game, Xiahou Yuan can fire up to four volleys in a row via repeated button input and the arrows themselves can now pierce through multiple targets (but no longer goes an infinite-forward distance). The last volley differs in that they are shrouded in blue energy and will stun foes standing in place (but cannot pierce through any units). Cannot activate elemental effects provided by orbs.; Charge Attack 2: : Does an upward turning slash with an inward scooping motion.

Auxiliary Attacks: Dash Attack: Dashing + : Plants a knee to the front, dizzying foes upon connecting.; Jump Attack: : Swipes rod inward in a circular motion while in mid-air.; Jump Charge: : Slams the ground with enough force to send surrounding foes airborne.

New Attacks: Special Attack/Type Action: R1 (Sure-Killing Art): Rapidly fires nine sets of arrows in a fan arc while slowly rotating from left to right for the duration of this move (even though he holds his bow vertical instead of horizontal).

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 + : Should Xiahou Yuan initiate a triple attack with Huang Zhong and Ina, the three archers will each launch a volley of energy-infused arrows forward in different directions. The ensuing barrage ends with them producing a pillar of light accompanied by more arrows raining down near its boundary. Inflicts massive damage to surrounding foes while setting them on fire.; Strategy - Volley: Increases damage inflicted by all allied projectile weapons including guns and cannons.

Fighting Style

In the fifth title, Xiahou Yuan's potential as a long-range fighter is further heightened with his first charge being made more effective. Despite utilizing less arrows for his attacks than Huang Zhong, he is still a potent character when it comes to sniping from afar.

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

Sample video of Xiahou Yuan's fighting style.

Xiahou Yuan is affiliated with the bow and rod in this title. When equipped with it, Xiahou Yuan can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

EX Attack 1:

: Xiahou Yuan crouches down and sends a fiery bolt into the air, watching it a few moments as a volley of explosive arrows comes down around the area as he gives a thumbs up. The initial part where he fires the bolt also produces a radial shockwave burst that breaks the guard of nearby foes while staggering and burning them simultaneously. This title expands the attack's initial range and causes the raining arrows to come down sooner.

EX Attack 2:

: Fires rod at high-speed as it becomes coated in a blue energy blast, causing Xiahou Yuan to briefly stretch his right shoulder from the recoil. Introduced in Xtreme Legends.

Musou Attack - Power Shot (強断弓; lit. "Strong Breaking Bow"):

: Takes an aggressive-readied stance, then fires a powerful shot bursting with energy. Has excellent frontal coverage and can break through the enemy's guard. In this game and its expansions, the attack can now stagger nearby foes a second time as Xiahou Yuan loads up his heavy arrow.

Alternate Musou Attack - Raging Bow (怒濤強断弓; lit. "Raging Billow Strong Broken Bow"): R1 +

: Strikes at enemies four times with rod before sending them airborne, then fires a powerful blue-colored heavy shot that can break through the opponent's guard while dispersing them at the same time.

Aerial Musou Attack - Arrowstorm (蒼嵐弓; lit. "Blue Storm Bow"):

: Shoots down several pale blue arrows in a swaying motion towards the front below. The barrage ends with an airborne version of Xiahou Yuan's Power Shot Musou attack with the bolt itself producing a large shockwave blast that pierces through the enemy's defenses.

Rage Attack: Swings rod back and forth several times while stepping forward steadily. Xiahou Yuan then finishes the move by firing a powerful shot that generates an immense wave of energy outward.

True Rage Attack: Upon performing 100 or more hits during a Rage attack, Xiahou Yuan will swipe at a wider angle and shoot forward each time in alternating order before initiating a short series of electrical blows left and right while remaining stationary.
