swings slowly. But he does astronomical damage with his attacks. His club has 
a very short range, but if it's a moot point once he manages to get in the 
middle of a crowd. If anyone would benefit from a Red Hare Harness it would 
be him.

one of those Omega Force quirks at work here.

[ZHEN JI]
"I shall play a requiem for you!"
Attack:  ***
Defense: ******
Speed:   ***

won't affect you or your allies. Use it to soften up groups of enemies as 
they approach. She's a fun character to use. She has a pretty dress too. =)

Comments: Like Zhuge Liang, his fan has very little range and does little 
damage. Unlike Zhuge Liang, he stays put while doing his Musou attack. 
Speaking of Musous, Sima Yi's is downright crazy. He fires streams of energy 
beams that do crazy damage and home in on enemies. It's not too good in 
crowds, but it works miracles on groups of approaching enemies and 
annihilates small armies. Use it and abuse it.

O----------------O
|6. 10TH WEAPONS |
O----------------O

In order to obtain a 10th weapon for a character you must already have their 
9th weapon and the difficulty must be set on Hard. You can have a second 
character assist you in obtaining the weapon, as long as one of the 
characters is the one you're trying to obtain the weapon for.

In the May 2003 issue of Tips & Tricks magazine, there is a Dynasty Warriors 
4 article by Pat Reynolds with 10th weapon and item requirements straight 
from KOEI. I've adjusted the requirements in the corresponding sections with 
information from that article.

+===============+
|SHU CHARACTERS |

Stage: Battle of Ru Nan

Join with Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu in that order. Defeat all of Cao 
Cao's other officers before reinforcements arrive.
Tip: Li Dan must be defeated after meeting Zhao Yun. Xiahou Yuan must be 
defeated before Guan Yu appears. The other generals can be defeated in any 
order.

[Guan Yu]
Weapon: Blue Moon Dragon
Power: +57
Stage: Battle of Fan Castle
Requirements: Do not defeat Lu Meng, Lu Xun, or Zhou Tai until Guan Yu says 
"Curses! We've been surrounded!" All Shu officers that can defect must 
defect.
