Xiahou Dun's Maximization

Recommended Weapon:
Medium Weight
Attack / Musou / Fill / Speed / Charge (or Defense)
Ok well, as with other characters with good enough 4th weapons, I used Xiahou Dun's 4th weapon in this video, because Im too lazy to get his ideal 3rd weapon. The differences aren't too big, but big enough to see some really nice changes. Xiahou Dun is a relatively challenging characters to use. Like Guan Yu, if you're looking for best defense and just simply the best result, almost every maneuver needs to be thought about and planned ahead of time. And all of this is governed by crowd size, crowd density, and musou fill. The most important difference between this recommended 3rd weapon and his 4th weapon is the extra Fill. This gives him a combined Fill bonus of +40 both from weapon and the Ginseng item, and the reason why it's an important difference is because it'll allow him to use his best offense more often, because his C3 will fill his long musou in a wider range of crowd sizes.

Recommended Items:
Ice Orb
Tiger Amulet / Green Scroll / Wind Scroll / True Way of Musou / Ginseng
Omitting Way of Musou is for the reason that the ending of his True Musou is inconsistent with hitting. If you miss with it, counterattacking might be the only way out, and counterattacking every time you mess up is kind of hard.

-----

I have a feeling that Xiahou Dun might be capable of killing generic officers in one musou with the Fire Orb, and the combo to carry this out would be a full C3 followed by a full musou. If you do this with his 4th weapon against a "might" class generic officer, you'll notice he's about a two hits or something like that, away from finishing off the officer. His 4th weapon lack 4 Musou points from maxed out, and lacks 3 Attack points from maxed out. So Im just wondering if this might be enough for him to kill officers in one simple combo. But then....having the probable need to have to get all or most hits to succeed suggests possible consistency issues even IF it is possible to dominate generic officers in this way with the Fire Orb. And well, another thing that make this Fire Orb setup seem not so impressive is that against playable officers, he's stuck with a two musou offense, whereas with the Ice Orb, he'll take out most officers in one musou 60% of the time.
Anyway, just throwing out some ideas.

I have another argument, which discusses Xiahou Dun with a no Musou bonus on his weapon. Have a look at my guide on gamefaqs to check it out.

that that extra little fill is so much, i had for him atk musou luck fill def on weapon and it's realli krazy, i like his moveset tho it looks dangerous but it's quite powerful, the normals r nice too

[DW5chaosmodeguide]

ya I know totally eh? +20 fill is like crazy.

maybe I'll make a Xiahou Dun CAW, Might be worth it just to see and appreciate the difference

but MAN, I hate the reload and try again process dude. Im working on Ma Chao right now. I mean all my Ma Chao vids show his 4th weapon, and that crappy ass short musou setup. I need to show maxed out musou and fill.

[cleedrulez]

wherez this nub in the tier list? he'll be quite decent, better than zhangfei and stuff with that extra fill

[DW5chaosmodeguide]

Hmm I'm not exactly sure yet. Because two things

1) with his 4th weapon, he is just so damn close to killing generics in a fire musou. Remember how we gave Wei Yan Fire Orb instead of Ice Orb cuz he owns generics in one C3 and musou? I can't do that with Xiahou Dun with his 4th, but I have a feeling that getting an ideal 3rd, the maxed out stats will be good enough to do so.

2) His 4th doesn't have Fill, and Xiahou will seriously benefit from Fill40

[DW5chaosmodeguide]

just basically wanna turn him into a Wei Yan equivalent

Damn Guan Yu

[nightarchie]

The Wei officers have really stormed the enemy bases... :D

[gold3263301]

@misteraznboy He doesn't find weapons with maxed everything.

He finds a weapon, THEN he maxes them out.

It's possible in DW5:XL.

[misteraznboy]

how do you find weapons with like level 20 everything??

[dkslash98]

Calbee, can i ask you something?

I'm finally using chaos mode, and training in some stages, i'm doing fairly nice, but when i face some officers with double defense and i'm run out of peons, i'm f*ckd up...

Is there any tips you can give me to effectively deal with officers in small crowds with Xiahou Dun?

Thanks already

[SSBBplayerD]

your very good

[atrea]

DW6 wasn't bad, but your allies are constantly struggling on Chaos Mode, this means you either got to babysit your commander in almost every battle. That turned be back to DW5

[avery336]

he really cant stand Guan Yu
