Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends Chaos Mode Conquest of Nan Zhong (Nanman Forces) Meng Huo ----- Meng Huo's maximization Recommended Weapon: Heavy Weight Attack / Musou / Fill / Defense / Speed (Charge or Life) Recommended Items: Light Orb Tiger Amulet / Green Scroll / Ginseng / True Way of Musou / Way of Musou ----- Since his Jump Charge (JC) can be mastered properly so that he doesn't get hit, and JC speed isn't affected by weapon weight, the best way to optimized Meng Huo's moveset is to give him a Heavy weapon. This pretty much maximizes both Musou fill and offense. It's a fact that Meng Huo's Musou is the weakest damaging Musou in the game, so it's kind of nice that he works well with a Heavy weapon. The basic idea with Meng Huo's JC is to jump forward then jump backward with his two stomps. This is necessary only if you plan to do it continuously. The way to make his JC safe is to never execute it when an enemy is close, so his JC does have a bit of required safety distance. This is because during his JC execution the AI still interprets it as if he's still on the ground, so what this means is that if you do it when an enemy is right in front of him, the enemy will begin to attack some time when Meng Huo's in the air executing his JC. Once you do this with many opponents too close to him, there's a pretty high probability of getting hit on the way down. So this the reason why he can't abuse JC and stomp always in a forward motion. The idea is, if you stomp forward then backward, on the backward stomp you create enough safety distance to repeat the sequence safely again. The above method of using his JC safely applies to all scenarios except possibly the extreme end of crowd sizes. In this case, he'd have to escape with his C1 after his JC finishes. So this wraps up the sustainability of Meng Huo's Musou filling method. Oh ya, I forgot about his C3. An alternative is to use his C3 with the Light Orb to fill his Musou. This is only a good move if his Musou is partially filled and you can foresee that his C3 will fill the rest of his Musou, because you want to transition straight into his Musou after his C3 ends because of the long recovery time. This transition is a good move to make because you're guaranteed Musou execution. With Meng Huo's JC, you might have to jump around for a little bit to catch officers off guard. So that's one reason for equipping the Light Orb. Another reason, and perhaps a better reason, is to allow him the ability to "devour" multiple officers. When you know there's going to be such a scenario, these are when you want to use his Musou Rages. Like Zhen Ji, Meng Huo can kill multiple officers easily by using his C6 to setup for his True Musou. Something new I observed when doing this recording is that it's probably better to approach a mounted officer if he already has a filled Musou. This is because mounted officers block less frequently. This is why it was easy to kill Wang Ping and Zhang Yi in one True Musou. And really, not even a Musou Rage was needed here to achieve this awesome outcome. One bad thing about Meng Huo's Musou is that it is too good at crowd clearing, and I've mentioned this concept many times in the past. It's fortunate that with this Heavy weapon setup, he can kill generic officers in one True Musou, but against playable officers like Yue Ying in this video, and any officers stronger than playables, Meng Huo will have a hard time dueling officers after the first Musou because there's a good chance that there won't be crowds to contribute to Musou filling after the first Musou. So actually....it might not be a bad idea to put Bow on his weapon now that I think of it. Other characters that can kill generics but not playables in one Musou, like Xiahou Dun, are much better performers when maximized. ----- AUDIO: Dynasty Warriors 3 - Exotic Traitors Dynasty Warriors 6 - Beat It!

DW5chaosmodeguide Says:
May 31, 2009 - sorry I didn't elaborate my point on what including Defense does to Offense in return. Having Defense on his weapon gives him more chances or more risk to sacrifice life for flexibility. This gives him more flexibility to use his C3 for faster Musou fill with the tradeoff of getting hit. This increase in offensive speed is far more valuable than increased damage with Charge.

May 31, 2009 - The attack base launched a projectile
Hares999 Says:
May 31, 2009 - I kinda prefer normal weight weapon for meng huo :)
DW5chaosmodeguide Says:
May 31, 2009 - ya for regular gameplay and fun factor I'd go with Light for all characters. I was experimenting possibilities with Jiang Wei maximized with a Light weapon. It was fruitless....but geez....playing around with his Light weapon and the Dragon Arms was extreme fun
DW5chaosmodeguide Says:
May 31, 2009 - um can anyone tell me why Im not getting emails from youtube comments? Im sure it's easy to find out, but I just wanna try this and see if I'll get quick answers thanks in advance
badboycoap Says:
May 31, 2009 - OMG. You were about to die at the end.
cleedrulez Says:
May 31, 2009 - his jc and c1 r so nice with heavy! i'd have the last stat as none speed, maybe even bow like u said, not much difference anyways. i like the light orb usage part in the description haha, this guy's definitly not bad when maximized fully, wonder where he will be placed
DW5chaosmodeguide Says:
May 31, 2009 - hahahhaha ya, I tend to like to make sacrifices near the end, but I know it's not going to be death I do it
DW5chaosmodeguide Says:
May 31, 2009 - he's like a Zhou Yu but able to own multiple officers, and Musou Rage isn't a must.....he could pull shit off using C3 easily. So Im not sure if greater than Zhou Yu for a tier just because of this strength. I would doubt it cuz Zhou Yu has a much better chance at KO'ing playables with Ice, and he can still Musou fill after a first musou cuz he doesnt clear the damn area of all peons. hmm ya probably equal to Zhou Yu. Cuz Xing Cai is pretty much the same as Zhou Yu
DW5chaosmodeguide Says:
May 31, 2009 - Zhou Yu and Xing Cai pretty much equal without super detailed comparison. oh shit wait, Zhou Yu > Xing Cai cuz he has room for Way of Musou all cuz of JC. I would stick with Wind Scroll on Xing Cai....and stick with no Way of Musou and go through Fire Orb for Fire Musou.....but hmmm Heavy was a failed experiment with Xing Cai....I guess the next test would be no Wind Scroll with Med weap, although I have my doubts.... anyway, Zhou Yu's strengths are more valuable than Meng Huo's imo. Same Tier
cleedrulez Says:
Jun 1, 2009 - hm if we go with medium for zhouyu then he'll be more consistant than menghuo for sure, completion time would be pretty close cuz usually there r officer pile ups in a stage, while menghuo has a lot of one on one's... zhouyu>xingcai? hm that's one interesting result, we'll see how it turns out tho, since xingcai kills in one musou? gotta be close
DW5chaosmodeguide Says:
Jun 1, 2009 - hmmmm nvm....I guess I'll wait till tmr to see and confirm that Im not getting emails, cuz my YT account settings are correct.......
Saestrol Says:
Jun 1, 2009 - Some stuff has been going awry for awhile. Just check and see if you had that option reset in your settings.

Jun 1, 2009 - In Which Battel Or Stage Did you get This Weapon? "Tell me If Remember"!
serpentdoness Says:
Jun 2, 2009 - Wow. I've never played as Meng Huo before, and dude! This guy is so funny! "Enemy officer... DEVOURED!!" It also makes me think that that's Xiahou Dun saying it because it's the same voice actor, lol.
Pizza9363 Says:
Jun 3, 2009 - FIRST put both hands on your chest SECOND think of something you want THIRD tomorrow you will get a surprise with the thing your wished for. FOURTH heres the catch write this to five videos
XCalamitus600X Says:
Jun 6, 2009 - i would like to see a video of maximization of cao cao,diao chan or sun ce
Vrictus Says:
Jun 7, 2009 - Wouldn't Meng Hou be able to use charge moves better with the Dragon's Gauntlets? Or whichever one that lets you cancel charge moves by jumping?
HatoHattori9001 Says:
Jun 15, 2009 - No because the effect doesn't apply to JCs

May 25, 2010 - soo fat XD
dMITIC Says:
Jul 4, 2010 - this guy is one fat badass
XxxCalamitus600xxX Says:
May 31, 2009 - for a complete offense,i think that the best choice would be replacing the defense and putting charge into it good video kickass :)
