!Sima Yi

[[folder:Dian Wei]]
!Dian Wei

* BladeOnAStick: His weapon is the Iron Poled Snake Spear.

* BladeOnAStick: His weapon is the Curve-Headed Glaive.

* BladeOnAStick: He wields a glaive, the Triumphant Conquest, in his boss fight. Ironically, the official render above has him wield the Curve-Headed Glaive instead.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: He takes the elixir after killing Dong Zhuo not to use it himself, but to prevent it from falling into other hands and to lure out Yu Ji in an attempt to kill him.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: [[spoiler:While he still works for Dong Zhuo, his goal isn't to usurp him and become his own ruler or any fortunes, but to prevent a war between Yu Ji's demon forces and the Hermits of Tianzhu. For that, he hides his identity to get close to and stop Yu Ji alone to keep his sister and village safe. And he certainly did not get bribed or murder anyone when he went to apply for a position in Dong Zhuo's army, unlike in both history and novel where he did so to his liege/adopted father Ding Yuan (who's AdaptedOut here).]]
* AdaptationalIntelligence: Lu bu's biggest flaw in life was his poor hindsight, which ended up costing him his life. Here, [[spoiler: he's aware of the costs of using the elixir as well as the corruption is causes. He even feigns his allegiance to Dong Zhuo]].

* CharClone: While he's not blond, this Lu Bu is masked, rides a [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority red horse]] (with a horn on his forehead armour that resembles the command antenna on Char's Zaku, no less), [[spoiler:[[HiddenAgendaVillain has own his agenda]] and even is the heroine's [[LongLostRelative long lost brother]]]].

* TheDragon: Once again, he's being the second in command of the tyrant Dong Zhuo, [[spoiler: [[HiddenAgendaVillain for reasons.]]]]

** In the main mission ''The Way of the Warrior'', [[spoiler: Liu Bei and Zhang Fei both comment that he had Liu Bei's family captured, but was soon released with no strings attached, while noting that he's known for his ruthlessness]].
** There are no demonized soldiers in ''Lu Bu, Mightiest Among Men'', [[spoiler: despite the fact that he has Dong Zhuo's leftover elixirs.]]

* TheJuggernaut: With or without his Red Hare, no one can stand chance again him. If that is not enough, [[spoiler: there is his [[OneWingedAngel demon form.]]]]

* BeefGate: You can try to fight Lu Bu when you get near the gate, but he'll be defending it at morale level 20, when you're possiblly still too low, and then there's his own subordinate who will invade you if you don't take care of him first.

* ForeseeingMyDeath: [[spoiler:In TheStinger, he, as Zhuge Liang, witnesses his own demise of overworking in Wuzhang Plains years in the future.]]

* EvilIsBigger: While relatively slimmer than most of the other versions featuring him, it's exchanged in favor of being a ''towering'' guy.
* EvilChancellor: He took Zhang Rang's death to achieve absolute authority.

* CharClone: While he's not blond, this Lu Bu is masked, rides a [[LawOfChromaticSuperiority red horse]], [[spoiler:[[HiddenAgendaVillain has own his agenda]] and even is the heroine's [[LongLostRelative long lost brother]]]].

* MotiveDecay: According to the blindfolded boy in the beginning of the game, he's started the rebellion against corrupt leaders, with the common-man fighting back, only to become a leader of a glorified BanditClan.

* BeefGate: You can try to fight Lu Bu when you getnear the gate, but he'll be defending it at morale level 20, when you're possible still too low, and then there's his own subordinate who will invade you if you don't take care of him first.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He transforms into a crane to subdue the Aoye.

* AdaptationalBadass: Even the ''Romance of Three Kingdoms'', which gave him a significant HistoricalHeroUpgrade, merely depicted him as a reasonably competent fighter who focused on leadership and administration while his two sworn brothers carried out the lion's share of the battlefield heroics. In this game, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's assessment of him as the strongest fighter of the three of them is entirely accurate - he's a bona fide MasterSwordsman who is one of the most dangerous NPC-type enemies you face in a friendly duel, and [[spoiler:becomes an absolute nightmare when Yuan Shao turns him into a demon.]]

* LightningBruiser: Both literal and metaphorical. His elemental affinity is Wood, meaning he's a lethally-fast and surprisingly tough MasterSwordsman who backs up his blades with deadly lightning magic. [[spoiler:Being transformed by Demonic Qi turns him into a DraconicHumanoid who's towering, graceful, and perhaps the fastest and most aggressive boss in the entire game.]]

* BashBrothers: The middle brother of the Peach Garden brothers, and a fierce warrior who fights alongside them.

* DishingOutDirt: His highest stat is the Earth virtue, and his weapon scales off that stat the most.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He charges at the protagonist assuming they're the one who attacked Liu Bei, only to later apologize upon finding the truth. He then challenges them to a competition instead on who can beat the most people.

* DishingOutDirt: His highest stat is Earth; his weapon scales off that stat.

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: He gets turned into a [[CatsAreMean Tiger-demon]] upon refusing to help the Taoist.]]

* DoomedByCanon: After establishing the Wu Kingdom off screen, Sun Ce tries to hunt down Yu Ji in Guandu to finish his vendetta. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Yu Ji disguises himself as Sun Quan, catches him off guard and impales him with a sword, with Sun Quan coming too late.]] In the end, Sun Ce is not SparedByTheAdaptation, and he'll have to [[TakeUpMySword leave the rulership of Wu to Sun Quan and his vendetta against Yu Ji to the protagonist.]]
* DualWielding: Uses the Tiger Fang Dual Halberds, short polearms with tigerskin on them. They scale primarily with the fire phase.

* SatelliteCharacter: Daqiao is a surprisingly accurate portrayal of females in the era (unlike Hong Jing and Zhen): She's only there for being a part of the Sun clan, and has a very small role of being a hostage who cannot fight back, and does not do much. Women emancipation wasn't really that big in the Three Kingdoms era, and Daqiao adheres to the role of women of that age: usually being just an accessory of other men.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: It's said that her beauty is comparable of the UsefulNotes/FourBeautiesOfAncientChina (never mind that [[spoiler:one of them is in the game's cast (Hong Jing as Diao Chan)]]). Her bio says that her qualities are basically [[AllYourPowersCombined the four beauties' features combined.]] (Making fishes sink, birds forgetting to fly, making the moon and flowers shy away)

* BladeOnAStick: His weapon is the Iron Poled Snake Spear
* PlayingWithFire: Uses the Fire Virtue, and his weapon scales off that stat. He also throws fire bombs in his boss fight.

* BladeOnAStick: His weapon is the Curve-Headed Glaive
* DishingOutDirt: Uses the Earth Virtue.

* AnimalMotifs: The vermillion bird, as he uses the Zhuque divine beast in his boss battle. His sword has an engraving on it.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Generally, Cao Cao is seen in a better, if a bit pragmatic and unscrupulous, light than his novel counterpart. In particular, how he gets Guan Yu on his side on the beset of the Battle of Guandu is certainly presented in a much better light: Cao Cao is not the one who orchestrated the separation between the three brothers; they are separated by Yuan Shao's surprise attack, armed with demonic forces, right after defeating Lu Bu. Also cornered with this surprising event, Cao Cao has a chance meeting with Guan Yu alone, and both mutually agree to help each other for their own goals.

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:He gets turned into a demon by an elixir-laced arrow that pierces his left eye. Thankfully, he gets better.]]

* PlayingWithFire: Uses Zhuque as his Divine Beast in his boss battles.

* AnIcePerson: Uses the water virtue.

** In the main mission ''The Way of the Warrior'', [[spoiler: Liu Bei and Zhang Fei both comment that he had Liu Bei's family captured, but was soon released with no strings attached, while noting that he's known for his ruthlessness.
