The ranking of warlords in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Legend is a topic that many players are concerned about. Although there are numerous fierce generals in this world of the Three Kingdoms, each with their own characteristics, there is still some distinction in terms of strength among them. For newcomers who are unclear about which ones are stronger, it's easy to end up developing the wrong generals, leading to taking many unnecessary detours. Therefore, to avoid such situations, this article will summarize and list the powerful warlords.
1. Xiahou Dun
Xiahou Dun belongs to the Sharp Cavalry, possessing high mobility on the battlefield, allowing him to freely move and deal lethal damage to the enemy's backline. His talent increases his chance for consecutive attacks and reduces weapon damage when he is on the battlefield. Each time he suffers damage, he inflicts "Enemy" on the attacker, and for every difference in movement between himself and the enemy, his weapon damage slightly increases. Targets marked by "Enemy" will suffer an additional 80% damage when attacked by Xiahou Dun's skills later. His "Brave Battle Blood Hatred" causes massive melee weapon damage and has a chance to add an extra attack, temporarily increasing his consecutive attack rate upon use;
His "Fierce and Fearless" deals a large amount of weapon damage, and if the enemy has a reduced movement effect, it adds "Enemy" before the attack. After successfully defeating the enemy, his weapon damage reduction increases by 20%. His rage skill inflicts "Enemy" on the target and deals 2 instances of melee damage.
2. Sun Quan
Sun Quan is an overlord not restrained by any troop type, possessing wide-area attacks and team buffs. His talent increases his maximum HP, block probability, and critical resistance, while also raising the critical damage resistance of all allies. At the beginning of each turn, he applies "Tiger Roar" to the diamond-shaped area around him, enhancing all attributes of allies within the "Tiger Roar". His "Jiangdong Hegemony" deals massive damage and grants "Tiger Might", which increases damage reduction and block probability, to himself and all allies on the terrain. His "Expanding Territory" deals strategic damage to enemies within a 3-square diamond range and applies "Tiger Roar" to the terrain for 3 turns. His rage skill deals melee weapon damage to enemies within range, then applies bleeding, burning, and weakening. Bleeding and burning cause true damage to the affected every turn, while weakening reduces critical hit rate by 15%.
3. Diao Chan
Diao Chan is a type of "Beauty" unit, a general combining support and control. Her talent, after increasing her battlefield HP, allows her to choose the ally with the highest attack and gain 20% of their attack spirit, returning 20% of her own spirit as attack power to that ally, with this effect lasting permanently. At the start of each turn, she restores the HP of allies within two circles around her and randomly removes 2 debuffs. Her first active skill deals moderate non-attribute strategic damage, reducing the target's defense and tenacity by 40%, rendering them unable to act, and attacking a random ally for one turn;
Her second active skill allows an already-acting ally to act again and applies "Enchantment," which increases damage by 20% and life steal by 10% when attacking males. Her rage skill deals minor strategic damage to enemies within a 3-square diamond range, reducing their weapon and strategic damage reduction, and increasing the weapon and strategic damage reduction of allies within range.
4. Cao Cao
Cao Cao's troop type is Overlord, and he not only has offensive capabilities but also provides good buffs, helping the team win battles. His talent increases his weapon and strategic damage, as well as his weapon and strategic damage reduction on the battlefield. At the start of the battle, he increases the base attributes (excluding HP and rage) of all allies. Each time he deals damage, for every difference in movement between him and the enemy, his damage increases. His "Six Dragons Riding the Wind" slightly boosts the attack and spirit of allies within range, increases their movement by 1, and significantly raises their consecutive attack probability. His "Heavenly Sword" deals massive damage to the target, copies one of their buffs to himself, and transfers all his debuffs to the target. His rage skill applies "Overlord" to all allies within a 2-square diamond range, followed by two area attacks. "Overlord" enhances all attributes.
This concludes the ranking of warlords in the new Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao's Legend. The characters introduced above are all very powerful, so once you obtain them, be sure to prioritize their development and form a reasonable team. This way, you can fully utilize the strength of these powerful warlords and make your game progression much easier.
