Dynasty Warriors 5/Wu

Da Qiao
Da Qiao is the sister of Xiao Qiao and the wife of Sun Ce. Da Qiao fights with two traditional Chinese fans called "Qiao Beauty", which have blades attached to the edges, as opposed to the feather fans used by Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang. She slices at enemies with them, but also flings them at her enemies and then makes them fly back to her. She is light and speedy, but has weaker attack and defense than most other characters. Da Qiao's charge attacks are ideal for one-on-one duels, with the exception of her fifth charge attack and musou. When she uses her Musou Attack, she spins her fans in front of her, finishing by hurling a large ball of fire at her enemies.

Gan Ning
Gan Ning fights with a scimitar called "Sea Master". He employs swift strikes with his sword, and his charge attacks mostly involve him whirling around and slashing at enemies that have surrounded him. The most memorable part of his moveset is undeniably his Musou Attack, which is one of a kind; he crouches slightly, holding his blade in a backhand position, and rushes forward, plowing through any enemies who get in his way. As the fastest moving musou attack, it is perfect for "hit-and-run" fighting, or even for traveling if you has low enough life that the musou gauge fills automatically, since the run is even faster than riding Red Hare. His Musou Attack is by far the strongest move in the game, yet it is very difficult to control.

Ling Tong
Ling Tong is an esteemed officer of Wu alongside Gan Ning, and the two eventually form a strong friendship. He serves as a junior strategist. He fights with nunchaku called "Dragon Fury", and his attacks are extremely fast, which compensates for their short range. He has an unimpressive but effective Musou Attack, spinning his weapon around him, and finishing with a weak shock wave.

Huang Gai
Huang Gai fights with a large rod called "Dark Shadow", fighting simply and predictably, swinging his club around to beat his enemies to death. He has high defense and above average attack power, but very low speed. This, combined with his relatively dull fighting style, gives him the appearance of a simple, plodding fighter, and makes him an unpopular choice despite his average statistics. Huang Gai is the only "bombardier"-type playable, who has the ability to set and throw explosives around the battlefield.

Zhou Tai
Zhou Tai is a Wu officer, and would-be bodyguard of Sun Quan. He uses a katana with a black hilt. His Musou attack is a series of slashes (during which Zhou Tai is stationary), followed by a final forward dashing slash.
