Pang Tong was well known among officials in Jing Zhou and the southlands. He eventually offered his services to Sun Quan, but was not put in any important position because of his ugly appearance. After the battle of Chi Bi, when Liu Bei occupied the regions of southern Jing Zhou, Zhuge Liang recommended Pang Tong’s service to Liu Bei. Shiyuan provided Liu Bei with three possible solutions for his problems and offered to help carry them out. Liu Xuande showed him much courtesy and appointed Pang Tong as Deputy Master of the Forces and Imperial Corps Commander. In the sixteenth year of Rebuilt Tranquillity (AD 211), Pang Tong led the invasion of Yi Zhou as Master of Forces . During the battle of Luo Cheng, Pang Tong was hit by an arrow and died. He was title Lord of the Second Rank posthumously by Liu Shan. In Game Bio - An official under Liu Bei. A classmate of Zhuge Liang, he was oftern compared to the sleeping dragon as an accomplished strategist. At the battle of Chi Bi he helped carry out the linked ship plot, ensuring victory for the allied forces. After joining Liu Bei, he suggested the capture of the Shu lands and lead the campaign himself. It is said had Pang Tong been alive after Liu Bei's capture of Shu, Shu would of Won the 3 Kingdoms. IMO he could of been greater than Zhuge Liang if he had lived longer. He was assasinated while riding Liu Bei's horse, the Hex Mark. AD 179 - 214 (35 Years) ------------- 3) Statistics -This is a starting level (Fresh) Pang Tong Life: Low, he is a strategist so its quite low. Musou: Awesome, one of the highest in the game. His strongest asset. Attack: Low because of being a strategist and not a warrior. Defense: Good, mainly because of low attack Speed: Quite good, probably because he's small. Reach: Short, But some charge attacks have good reach. That said, get a wind scroll as soon as possible. Mounted Attack: Side to side attacks like most characters. Overall: - Probably the most fun you'll have as a character on DW Crowd Clearing: Some moves are awesome for it, some are pathetic for it. Dueling: Combination of all the above stats and how good you are. -------------- 4) Moves - Square button (s) - Hit square 6 times for a combo which hits mainly in front of Pang Tong. It ends with a big flip attack. Charge 1 - Triangle (t) - Press to release a bolt of energy. Adds an element if you have an orb equipped. Charge 2 - s,t - Basic uppercut into the sky. Allows for combo'ing. Charge 3 - s,s,t - Pang Tong goes into flip mode, cartwheeling/flipping into a enemy continuosly until knocking them away with a Ma Chao style spin round his staff. Charge 4 - s,s,s,t - First the 3 hits, then a hard to describe spinning mid air twist which has a massive range and knocks enemies away. Works well with lightning orb. Charge 5 - s,s,s,s,t - This involves hitting the enemy 4 time and then smashing them into the air, finally being kicked back down to earth by Pang Tongs sandals. Charge 6 - s,s,s,s,s,t - 5 hits and then something special. Pang Tong goes musou and does his trademark whirlwind attack. High damage and knock back, makes this the move to be using as much as possible. Musou - Circle button when gauge is full - Pang Tong creates a tornado around him and anihilates his enemies with it. Although it has been toned down since DW3 it is still awesome. Use it all the time. True Musou - Circle when gauge is full and health is red - Same as normal musou really, maybe with a little more power and range. Horse Attack - Usual smash right then left....yawn Horse Charge - Levitates his staff right or left. Air Strike - Just a bash from right to left in midair. Air Charge - The usual jump up, slam weapon in ground attack. Taunt - (R3 button) ........Gooood Grief Analysis of Moves - For Pang Tong, its good to get right in the middle of the action and then unleash c4, c6 or his musou. With generals stick with c3 or musou. -------------- 5) Unlocking Pang Tong starts out selectable on DW4 XL ON DW4 you have to unlock him by clearing chapter 4 of Shu musou mode. (This can be done with any character of Shu). -------------------------- 6) 10th Level Weapon Acquisition (Got to be on hard mode or higher) DW4 Xtreme legends way of getting it: Name: Tornado Staff Attack: +51 Stage: Pang Tong's legend Requirements: Get 100 KO's in under 3 minutes Credit to Muni Shinobu or the DW4 version of getting it is: Method = Get the Pang Tong ambush scene. Run past the ambush. Continue running and you'll get up to one of the gates of the top left castle. You'll get a message saying the castle gates are not opening. Defeat Liu Kuei or Zhang Yi. Pang Tong will enrage Zhang Ren by saying something similar to "Hey isn't anyone gonna challenge me?". You'll see Zhang Ren's attack message. Lead Zhang Ren across the Jing Yen Bridge (the one near the castle). You'll see a "bomb preparation complete" message. Stand near the bridge, and get the bridge's destruction event. Zhang Ren starts to retreat message will show up. Defeat Zhang Ren and Pang Tong earns Tornado Staff message Credit to Muni Shinobu --------------- 7) 11th Level Weapon Acquisition Name: Great Phoenix Attack: +60 Add-on Items: lvl 14 dragon amulet, lvl 20 nanman armour, lvl 20 calvalry armour, lvl 7 SSS Stage: Pang Tong's Legend Map: Fan Castle Restrictions: No bodyguards Requirements: 1.

Same clothes - different colours - Now a yellow approach 3. Colours same as first costume - Has turban and face visor thing 4. Colours same as second costume - Has turban and fave visor thing 5. Old school Pang Tong from DW3 - Dark Green robes with cool hat 6. DW3 XL costume - Same as fifth costume but with more white ----------- 9) Orbs and Pang Tong This is my opinion on orbs. Some may work better for you. In my personal favourite order 1. Lightning - Awesome crowd cleaning abilities 2. Vorpal - Still good 3. Fire - More damage is always good 4. Ice - Pang Tong is fast so he doesnt need this as much as characters like Xu Zhu and Zhang Fei. 5. Poison - Lame 6. Blast - Don't use it ever ----------- 10) Recommended Equipment Saddle: Use any horse saddle but dont use elephants as they are too slow. Shadow is probably best. I like using Hex Mark because Pang Tong died on Hex Mark according to ROTK Orb: Lightning Items: He has the full 6 slots so use it too your advantage. Heres a list of the best ones: Tiger Amulet - Strength is king Tortoise Amulet - Defence is very important too Peacock Urn - Do you really want to die that fast? Speed Scroll - Speed increases the speed of killing things Wind Scroll - Increases range and therefore more dead people. Secret of Orbs - More elemental is good War Drum - Morale is important in long battles so use this. Power Rune - The best defence is to go on the offensive. Herbal Remedy - Charge Attacks are good Elixer - Musou is good ------------ 11) Pang Tong's legend This is a extra stage at the Wu Zhang plains. Under Construction ------------ 12) His hilarious voice (quotes) 1000 kills: The Three Kingdoms have nothing on me! Death: So this is it, huh... Duel Accept: I don't know... You look pretty strong... Duel Challenge: Hey, how about a little tussle? Lose in Duel: I thought I did pretty well, for me! Musou: Careful... Retreat: Phew! I better get outta here! Taunt: Good grief! True Musou: EeeeeeYAH! Destroy Bridge (Battle of Luo Castle): Well, Zhang Ren has nowhere to run now... Encounter Huang Zhong (Mt. Ding Jun): You wanna borrow my cane, old timer? Bridge Event (Chang Ban): You'll have to pay to get through here. And it's not cheap, let me tell you. There are others but these are the important ones He also says the legendary "Gooooood for youuuuuu" when he's congratulating you on killing a certain number of enemies. ------------ 13) Thanks Thanks to gamefaqs.com for hosting this FAQ.
