Part 20

Learn how to unlock and master Xiao Qiao in Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered. Details on her attacks and fourth weapon.

Unlocking: Clear Musou mode with either Zhou Yu or Da Qiao.

Description: A 12-year-old girl with brown hair, fans, and a greenish outfit.

Stages Played: Pirate Attack on the High Seas, The Battle at Hu Lao Gate 191 AD (Allies vs Dong Zhuo), The Battle at Chi Bi 208 AD (Allies vs Cao Cao), Raid on the Rogue Fortress, The Battle at He Fei 215 AD (Wei vs Wu), The Battle at Yi Ling 222 AD (Shu vs Wu), The Nanman Campaign 225 AD (Shu vs Nanman).

Fourth Weapon: On the Nanman stage, playing as Wu, kill Zhu Rong. The special item will appear to the east of the bridge on the northwest side of the map. Grab it and finish the stage.

Attacks:

• Attack 1: Throws both fans in a circle around her, clearing enemies on both sides.
• Attack 2: A short upward slash with her fan, a standard juggling attack.
• Attack 3: Throws her fan in a circle, dizzying those it hits with a good radius of effect.
• Attack 4: Throws her fans, one in front and one behind, knocking back enemies with good range but poor side coverage, making it risky in crowds.
• Attack 5: A big upward fan strike that lifts the enemy high for a juggle, easier to combo with than her sister's high juggle attack.
• Attack 6: Rapidly pressing T makes her roll repeatedly, hitting enemies around her, useful for clearing out enemies.
• Musou Attack: Enters a rolling spin, hitting foes around her. Useful for escaping crowds but hard to control. The double fan throw at the end is good for clearing crowds.
• Running Attack: Dives at the enemy, knocking them down but leaving her wide open when she gets up. Avoid this move.

Overall Assessment: Xiao Qiao is not as effective as her sister, Da Qiao. Her attacks are fast, but her special moves are less useful for escaping sticky situations. She does gain a fourth weapon with a death element, which is a plus, but her running attack is poor.

Advanced Strategy: Her special moves are generally not as good as her sister's, and she lacks the escape move at the end of her normal string, though her fast hits allow for quick damage and escape. Her Musou attack is best used as an escape, though it can damage groups or generals if landed correctly.
