His attack speed is easily The fastest in the game. On top of this, his C4 absolutely destroys large crowds giving him good crowd control as well. ------------------------------------------------- 5-Unlocking ------------------------------------------------- Ling Tong is one of the starting 6 characters for Wu. ------------------------------------------------- 6-Move Set ------------------------------------------------- Keys: S = Square button, T = Triangle button, C = Circle button S- A slight upward swing to the right SS- A downward swing to the left SSS- A downward swing to the right SSSS- A swing to the left SSSSS- Ling Tong jumps and spins a little in the air swinging his weapon behind him SSSSSS- A swing to the right Alternate SSSSSS- A upward swing to the right SSSSSSS- A downward swing to the left SSSSSSSS- A downward swing to the right SSSSSSSSS- A downward swing to the left, followed by Ling Tong turning to his right and giving a hard downward swing T- Ling Tong runs a little forward and does a spin kick. ST- Ling Tong does a high back filp kick that knocks enemies into the air SST- Long Tong does a series of 6 spin kicks, and finishes with a jumping spin kick to the right. SSST- Ling Tong does a flip forward and smashes his heel into the ground, causeing a small shockwave that damages enemies near by. SSSST- Ling Tong throws a gust of wind from his weapon forward that knocks any enemy in front of him into the air. SSSSST- Ling Tong jumps in a circle causeing a wave of fire to surround him, damaging all enemies near by. This move has a natural fire effect to it that will cause the enemies to burn and loose health until they hit the floor. Jump attack- a straight downward swing Jump charge- Ling Tong does a spin kick in mid air that shoots a wind blade from his foot hitting any enemies below him. Mounted attack- Ling Tong does a series of 6 downward swing going right to left. Mounted charge- Ling Tong does two hard downward swings going right to left. Mounted Musou- Ling Tong does repeated downward swings going left to right. Musou attack- Ling Tong keeps spining his weapon and moving forward while swiching it between his hands, finally Ling Tong jumps in a circle swinging his weapon around him hitting all enemies nearby. True Musou attack- This move is much the same as his musou attack, but instead of jumping in a circle, Ling Tong does a few more swings in front of him. It should be noted that from Alternate S6-S9 you need to have a weapon at least level 3 that's Evo-capable (aka the little blue dot near the weapons name) As well as a full musou bar to use. All 4th level weapons are Evo-capable. This info is credited to "Steven Liu" thanks for the info =) -------------------------------------------------- 7-Weapons -------------------------------------------------- I have a hard time reading the names of the weapons in Japanese, so for now I’m just going to call them Weapon 1, Weapon 2 ect. Stats-Wood Nunchaku Base power 4 Number of attacks 4 Weight Random Stats-Iron Nunchaku Base power 8 Number of attacks 5 Weight Random Stats-Rising phoenix Base power 12 Number of attacks 6 Weight Random Stats-Dragon fury Base power 36 Number of attacks 6 Weight Average Charge Attack Lvl 16 Speed Lvl 19 Life Lvl 15 Luck Lvl 16 Attack Lvl 17 Requirements for Obtaining Ling Tong's 4th Stage- Battle of He Fei Requirement- Defeat Zhang Liao 4 times Strategy- This weapon is pretty simple and straight forward to get. The only problem you should have to watch out for is your bodyguardor allys getting the kill. Make sure Ling Tong is built up well, because Zhang Liao is in super mode and can kill you pretty fast if your not carful. You should start close to the center of the map, the first thing you want to do is kill of Pang De, so head straight for him and kill him. When you get close to him a reinforcement unit should appear a little behind him and will come for you. Kill him off as well. Then take the two forts nearby. It takes about 5 minutes for Zhang Liao to appear for the first time, so if you have the time you can try to kill any other general that may be near by. Zhang Liao will appear just below Sun Quan's unit and will charge right at him. As soon as he does this head for him (He can kill Sun Quan pretty quick) and kill him. Now you should have another 5 or 6 minutes before he appears again, use this time to head to the bottom left part of the map and clear out all enemy generals down there. Zhang Liao should have appeared at the top right part of the map by the time your done, but don't worry, it takes him alot longer to make it to Sun Quan, you'll have plenty of time to get to him. Charge up for him and kill him as quickly as possible. Like Before you should have another 5-6 minutes before he shows up again. Use this time to kill of any other general in the area, as well as taking all the forts. Zhang Liao will appear in the bottom left part of the map, (the area you cleared earlier) so go and kill him again. After another 5-6 minutes he'll appear agian right outside Cao Cao's castle, go and kill him for the last time. You should get a Precious Item report on top of the castle walls. Go get the weapon and Kill Cao Cao. It's really nice to have a saddle for all this, but it's not a must. Also make sure you're playing on hard mode, and I'd suggest not bringing a bodyguard or at least turning him/her on defend so it wont kill Zhang Liao (like it did me >_<) -------------------------------------------------- 8-Musou Mode -------------------------------------------------- Ling Tong has 5 stages in his musou mode, The 5 stages are 1-Battle of Wu Jun 2-Battle of Xia Kou 3-Battle of Chi Bi 4-Battle of He Fei 5-Battle of Yi Ling As soon as I get the US release of this game and can better read what's going on in the battles, I'll update with some stage strategies. -------------------------------------------------- 9-Ling Tong's models -------------------------------------------------- Model 1- This model comes with Ling Tong. This model is very Red, red vest, red shirt, red pants. He does have some gold detail around him, as well as a black waist wrap, and black shoes. His hiar is pinned up much like Sun Ce's Model 2- Ling Tong unlocks this model when he get's about 6000 points. This suit is pretty much his first suit with different colors. In this model all of the red get's a little darker, and the gold detail becomes silver. The black waist wrap is now purple. His shoes stay black, but with a little gold detail added. Model 3- Ling Tong unlocks this model when he get about 20000 points. The suit it's self stays pretty much the same, only all the red becomes white with the silver detail. His shoes and waist wrap stay the same as model 2. Ling Tong un pins his hair in this model. Model 4- Ling Tong unlocks this model when he gains about 20000 points along with his model 3. This suit is just a color change to his model 3. All the white becomes purple with the silver detail. His vest is a slight darker purple then his shirt and pants. His waist wrap becomes black again, and his shoes get a silver detail instead of the gold. -------------------------------------------------- 10-Q&A -------------------------------------------------- Q: The requirement for obtaining Ling Tong's 4th lvl weapon isn't working? A: Make sure your playing on hard mode, and make sure YOU score the kill on Zhang Liao all 4 times. Q: Do you have to have played Ling Tong's Musou mode and got his 2nd and 3rd weapon before you get his 4th? A: No, I have got many 4th weapons the first time I played the character. Q:How do you unlock Ling Tong in DW4? A: You can’t, Ling Tong is one of the 6 new characters in DW5 Q: Ling Tong looks stupid and boring and is undissevering of a spot in DW5, KOEI should have added Cheng Pu instead. A: Well, if you think you can do better, get a job with KOEI and design the new characters yourself. As for Cheng Pu, KOEI cleary wanted to use Ling Tong instead, get over it. Q: What's the best stage to get high level items? A: I've been able to get 15-20 level items on any 4-5 star stage on hard mode or Shura/Expert Mode. The higer the diffuculty the better chance for a high level item. Also using a good Seven star sash (luck+) and a character with a high luck+ on his weapon ups the chances for a good item. Q: What will you except for your FAQ? And how will I know what I e-mailed you will get added? A: E-mail me anything, you'll know weather or not I'm going to add it if you get an e-mail back. If you don't get an e-mail back, I either didn't what to add it or am already working on it myself. -------------------------------------------------- 11-Checklist of things to come -------------------------------------------------- My strategy for using Ling Tong Strategies for Ling Tong's musou mode Ling Tong's Ending Ling Tong's qoutes More to come as I think of it. -------------------------------------------------- 12-Credits -------------------------------------------------- Fist off I’d like to thanks CJayC for making this site, so I have a place to write my FAQ’s.
