Brief Histoy of Sun Ce Sun Ce was Sun Jian’s eldest son and the older brother of Sun Quan, the first Wu Emperor. Sun Ce was only seventeen years old when his father was killed in battle against Liu Bei. Sun Ce stayed in the south and gathered a large following of people. These men included Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and others that served under Sun Jian. Sun Ce also attracted many new talents such as Lü Fan, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong. At this time, Yuan Shu was still the major authorithy in the south, and Sun Ce went to see him in Shouchun to offer his services. Sun Ce was able to impress and win the loyalty of all that surrounded him by displaying great bravery and skill in battle. He was also very proficient in the management of civil officials and allocation of resources. Yuan Shu often boasted about his new officer’s prowess but attributed all of Sun Ce's victories to himself, which greatly annoyed Sun Ce and his men. Yuan Shu however did not feel like giving Sun Ce a command of his own. Instead, he appointed Sun Ce as Colonel Who Cherishes Righteousness and allowed him to fight rebels and barbarians in Danyang. Sun Ce, an accomplished military strategist, laid the foundation of the early Kingdom of Wu, and paved the way for his younger brother Quan, who eventually became the first Emperor of their country. Sun Ce was admired and loved by his officers and attendants, and in many ways he carried the spirit of his father Sun Jian with him through his work. After Sun Quan ascended the throne as Emperor of Wu, Sun Ce was posthumously titled King of Changsha. Sun Ce died in 200, at 25. ------------ III. Pros and Cons of Using Sun Ce Pros: -Fast -Decent Musou attack -Pretty well-rounded character Cons: -No strong point -Hard to level up weapon -Attacks are somewhat limited Basically, Sun Ce is one of the best characters statistically, but one of the hardest to level up physically. He is very fast, and his attacks allow for numerable attacks in a row. However, when facing a crowd, he will have to take them on one or two at a time. His attacks are sometimes hard to aim, and his overall strength is somewhat low. Give him a try. ------------ IV. Stats Sun Ce Starting Stats Attack: average Maybe a bit below, but generally average Life: average Pretty good. He can withstand some serious hits before going down. Musou: average Okay. Nothing speacial here. Defense: average Good. This will stop Sun Ce from getting the bejeezus beaten out of him. Reach: below average Ugh. Not so good. Got to get in close to deal damage. Crowd Clearing: average Depends how skilled you are. Still, decent. Speed: above average Above and beyond the normal speed. Unbelievable with the Speedd Scroll. ------------ V. Attack List S= Square T= Triangle ST- Flip kick. Opponent goes flying up. SST- Rapid smash. Repetitive and dangerous, up to 7 attacks. SSST: Blow away. Spins forward, damaging everyone he touches. SSSST: Flip kick. Press again to jump up and smash your opponent to the ground. SSSSST: Multi Smash. Continuous attacks. ------------ VI. Level 10 Weapon Name: Overlord Attack: +54 Method: Defeat Yu Ji (the real one which drops the +4 shield) in under 3:00. You can defeat the illusionary ones first, as long as its under 3:00. This is a little tough, but can be done. As soon as you find the Yu Ji with the big life bar, just keep attacking him over and over again with your best combos, or keep attacking with SST move (square, square, Triangle). This has been known to not work. The first time I attempted to unlock it, I beat Yu Ji in about 2:09, and still the weapon did not appear. If this happens, just try it again. Usually it will work, and if not, just keep trying. The main problem here is the fake Yu Ji's and their Musou attacks. The Musou attacks not only take a chunk of your life out, but also slows you down. To avoid getting Musou-ed, block as soon as you see the sword light up. Or just run. The shadow army poses a small threat, but nothing that running cant take care of. Keep your goal in mind, and charge into victory. ------------ VII. Level 11 Weapon Name:Hierophant Attack: +69 Method: Defeat the 5 fake Yu Ji's. One of them drops an axe, save it for now. Then kill the real Yu Ji (high morale, longest life bar) . Yu Ji will return. Wait for the second real Yu Ji in front of the Imperial Seal (from a wooden box). Get the axe, then use the Imperial Seal musou to kill him. You must be very quick, because he will run after about 15 seconds after he gets hit. Save at this point. Finish the stage by defeating the third real Yu Ji, who returns once more. Do not defeat other fake Yu Ji's. Also, there is about a 5:00-5:10 time limit. After extensive training, here is my discovery: Trial 1: 5:57 Failure Trial 2: 4:56 Success Trial 3: 6:09 Failure Trial 4: 5:23 Failure Trial 5: 4:39 Success So, assume a 5 minute time limit. Use the strategy above, and you should be well off. This is a very difficult task. Keep in mind that this must be on the Exteme difficulty level, and the fake Yu Ji's are super-charged and will not hesitate to go Musou on you. DO NOT LET THEM MUSOU YOU! The Musou attack will usually kill you, and if that dosen't Yu Ji probably will. Also watch for the Shadow Army; it is invincible and strong. There is no way to destroy the shadow army, or I should say, I haven't found a way yet. Until I do, make sure you avoid large groups of them. Good luck! ------------ VIII. Orbs and Good Items for Sun Ce Here is a list of items that I think fit Sun Ce very well. Remember, these won't make you invincible, but it will allow you to win battles with realitive ease. Set 1 Harness: Red Hare -Fastest horse, great selection for anyone Orb: Lightning-Level: 4 -Increases crowd-clearing abilities, since his standard for it is low Items: Peacock Urn -Life MAX up Tiger Amulet -Attack up Master of Musou -True Musou attack regardless of current life Elixer -Musou gauge fills faster The balanced set. Makes for the overall Sun Ce, but with no particular strengths or weaknesses. Set 2 Harness: Elephant -Slow, but powerful. Recommended for games with many enemies Orb: Vorpal-Level 4 -Attack up, instant kills against soldiers, what more could you ask? Items: Tiger Amulet -Attack up Herbal Remedy -Charge attack up Master of Musou -True Musou attack regardless of current life Power Rune -Attack increases, but lowers defense. The attack-based set. Makes an attack oriented Sun Ce, ending up like a psychotic Lu Bu incarnate. Damage is unbelievable. Weaker defense and life, so watch it. Some people use a Peacock Urn instead of the Herbal Remedy, but dazed characters will usually be completely annihilated by a charge attack. Set 3 Harness: Shadow -Cant be dismounted by enemies, making it just plain cool Orb: Optional-Level 4 -It dosen't really matter. Items: Horned Helm -Mounted attack increases Cavalry Armor -Mounted defense increases Elixer -Musou gauge fills faster Optional/Peacock Urn -dosen't really matter, recommend Peacock Urn This is the horse set. With this set you can see your enemies die to your horse while you are left high and...er...dry. This is also the most malleable of the sets, since you can customize the orb and the last item. While discovering this set, I found that a Peacock Urn works very well, and the orb is still all your choice. You could also use Musou Armor and Vorpal Orb, with Red Hare if your going for a ground attack and mounted attack even. Have fun with this one. Set 4 Harness: Optonal -None is essential to this set, but its up to you Orb: Vorpal-Level 4 -Attack up, instant kills against soldiers, what more could you ask? Items: Peacock Urn -Life MAX up Tiger Amulet -Attack up Tortoise Amulet -Defense up Elixer -Musou gauge fills faster This is the best Sun Ce if you have a high Musou and decent everything else. His attacks are devastating, he can take excessive amounts of hits, he can unleash his Musou Attack constantly, and officers get cut down in 5-7 hits. This is one of the best Sun Ces possible, and us ethis on your way to leveling him up. ------------ IX.
