Dynasty Warriors 5/Wei
Cao Cao
Cao Cao is the first ruler of Wei. He fights with a broad sword known as "Wrath of Heaven" and dresses in elaborate silk gowns. His attacks are standard slashes.
Cao Pi
Cao Pi fights with twin swords called "Chaos", which he can attach the ends to form a longer weapon. Cao Pi fights with an aggressive, advancing style, using mainly precise vertical slashes that for the most part provide full coverage around himself. However he swings with a below average attack speed which can allow quick officers a chance to interrupt his combos. During his musou attack he detaches his blades and swings wildly while swathing through enemies in front of him.
Cao Ren
Cao Ren typically dressed in heavy armor and is short in stature. Cao Ren's weapon called "Roc" is unique; it consists of a shield or Buckler with a double blade implement similar to Cao Pi's but much shorter and with a different blade shape. His fighting style is fairly direct, and is best suited for multiple opponents. His attacks tend to use blunt force in weakening or breaking his enemies defense, then unleashing his actual blade from the buckler to cut down his opponents. His draw backs are a frustrating weakness without higher level weapons and power ups and the inclination of his fighting style towards multiple foes.
Dian Wei
Dian Wei's fighting style is slow, but powerful. He wields a hand axe called "Mad Bull". He also has limited range and slow speed, making him a poor choice for beginners. However, with his highest level weapon and the right items he is a force to be dealt with
Pang De
Pang De wears an armor similar to a European Knight. His weapons of choice are dual halberds called "Heavenly Halberds". He's a slow character, but packs serious damage, defense and crowd control. Since he was part of the Xi Liang cavalries alongside Ma Chao, he's also excellent in cavalry fighting.
Sima Yi
Sima Yi is a strategist, and as such, his clothing consists primarily of lavish robes and gowns. His weapon is a large, black fan known as the "Dark Feather", and his fighting style is much like Zhuge Liang's.
Xiahou Dun
Xiahou Yuan uses a large battle pole called the "Enforcer Rod", and is almost always clad in heavy armour. His Musou Attack includes a finishing shockwave attack that will heavily damage a number of opponents, giving him a greater advantage in battle.
