In the turbulent times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was an extremely influential and controversial key figure. His existence was both seen as that of a villain who exacerbated the chaos of the world and brought endless suffering to the people, and he also played an important role in the development of the Three Kingdoms era in the long course of history. The skills of Dong Zhuo in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Biography have attracted much attention from players in the game. It can be said that every move of this character profoundly influenced the direction of that era.
In the game, New Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Biography, the troops led by Dong Zhuo have unique effects. Initially, his troop type is sword and shield infantry, and later, after transforming into the Xuanjia Army, they become elite infantry. They can withstand enemy attacks on the battlefield and also deliver powerful counterattacks. Dong Zhuo's setting in the game is particularly special. From the perspective of conventional game logic, infantry often suffer from the suppression of cavalry on the battlefield, as cavalry, with their swift mobility and strong impact, can often break through the infantry lines in an instant.
However, Dong Zhuo breaks this convention. Born from the Western Liang cavalry and having long been associated with cavalry, he is well-versed in cavalry tactics. Therefore, he can skillfully apply cavalry tactics, allowing the infantry units he leads to maintain strong combat effectiveness even when facing cavalry, not being suppressed by them. At the same time, leveraging the inherent advantages of infantry and tactical coordination, the troops he leads can still effectively restrain archers and spearmen.
His innate effect, Pool of Wine and Forest of Meat, in the battlefield environment, allows Dong Zhuo's maximum health to be significantly increased. More importantly, thanks to this innate effect, his characteristic of not being suppressed by cavalry is further strengthened. When Dong Zhuo ends his turn on the battlefield, if there are enemy units within a one-square radius around him, a series of effects will be triggered. First, he will deduct a small amount of his current health, followed by inflicting a certain percentage of true damage to all enemy units within a one-square radius.
Not only that, but he will also impose an additional 1 layer of bleeding effect on these enemy units, which lasts for 1 turn. The bleeding effect causes the target to receive a certain percentage of the attacker's attack as true damage at the end of their turn, and this effect can stack up to 2 layers. Dong Zhuo's first active skill is called Chaos Reversal, a powerful skill that combines single-target damage and healing. When he uses this skill, it deals moderate melee weapon damage to the target, and for each debuff the target carries, Dong Zhuo recovers a certain percentage of his maximum health. However, to prevent overuse of this skill, the game has set a limit on the number of triggers.
The second active skill, Tyrannical Provocation, is a powerful area control effect. At critical moments, Dong Zhuo can use this skill to likely taunt all enemy units within a two-square radius around him, lasting for 1 turn. This effect attracts the enemy's attention, making them involuntarily shift their attack targets to Dong Zhuo, thus creating a favorable output environment for other friendly units. Additionally, for each debuff the target carries, the probability of taunting slightly increases. While imposing the taunt effect on enemies, he also imposes the Tyrannical Provocation effect on himself, which lasts for 3 turns.
Dong Zhuo's rage skill, Brutal Tyranny, can be released when his rage value accumulates to 200. Upon release, it first deals a small amount of melee weapon damage, providing an initial hit to the enemy. Then, he recovers a large proportion of his maximum health, quickly restoring himself to optimal condition. Most critically, after recovering health, he will again deal a small proportion of his current health as true damage to the target.
The last skill, Sturdy Shield, provides comprehensive buffs to enhance Dong Zhuo's combat capabilities. Not only does it increase all of Dong Zhuo's attributes, making him stronger in every aspect, but it also slightly increases his maximum health. Additionally, his block chance and critical damage reduction will see a moderate increase, allowing Dong Zhuo to more calmly resist damage and reduce the harm he receives. Furthermore, the taunt effect makes enemies lose all operational capabilities, only able to passively attack or cast skills on the taunter, which to some extent restricts the enemy's freedom of action. The Tyrannical Provocation effect, on the other hand, increases Dong Zhuo's damage reduction by 6% for each debuff the attacker carries, up to a maximum of 30%.
Now, everyone should have a sufficient understanding of the skills of Dong Zhuo in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Biography. It is precisely because of this unique advantage of not being suppressed by high-damage cavalry that Dong Zhuo excels in the tank role in the game. The combination of the series of skills and effects mentioned above makes Dong Zhuo a formidable and feared general on the battlefield.
