Taishi Ci Character Biography
__________________________________________________________________
From the Dong Lai, he was an excellent scholar and master of the martial arts.
First served Liu Yong, but after his defeat at Wu, he defected to Wu, after
stalemating with Sun Ce in battle. Establishing a strong relationship with Sun
Ce, they vowed to return the peace to the land.  Unfortunately, Sun Ce was not
destined to live long, and he continued on, still carrying on their vow, to
return the peace.

Unlocking Taishi Ci
__________________________________________________________________

Taishi Ci, along with 17 other officers, are there from the beginning. The Wu
Starters are:

Zhou Yu

Lu Xun

Sun Shiang Xiang (SSX)

Sun Quan

Ling Tong

hes is an very strong, with an excellent attack set, wouldn't recommend
starting with him though, due to his last Musou battle.

Taishi Ci's Weapons
__________________________________________________________________

Starting Weapon - Twin Rods - 5 power

2nd Weapon – Spiral Rods – 10 power

3rd Weapon – Wolf Slayer – 16 power

4th Weapon - Tiger Slayer - 38 power
(Charge 15, Horse 15, Bow 15, Defense 18, Life 18)


How to Get 4th weapon:

(Make Sure its on HARD or CHAOS Mode)

(Battle for the Wu Territory)

This one is EXTREMELY easy.  Start out just killing troops, wait for Sun Quan
to get trapped and kill him off before Zhou Tai saves him.  Once hes dead
just kill off Zhou Tai, and the valuable item will appear up top, to the left
of Sun Ce, in front of the gate on the ship.  from there on, just kill and
maim until you feel like taking on Sun Ce.  Watch out if the enemy infiltrates
the main camp.  Kill Zhou Yu off, thats a major help.

__________________________________________________________________

Pros: His attacks are extremely strong, and his He has an excellent move set.
His jump charge is strong, and is fun to play with, and his charge helps with
quick escapes.  his C4 is a great crowd clearer.

Cons:
His Charge does barely any damage, which sucks, as its only a means to knock
down enemies, or make an escape.

Taishi Ci's Best Items
__________________________________________________________________
Orb - Fire

Harness - Red Hare

Item 1. -Tiger Amulet

Item 2. -Peacock Amulet

Item 3. -Tortoise Amulet

Item 4. -Horned Helm

Item 5. -Way of Musou


Why? -

Fire orb is useful, because it adds that extra attack power to finish any
enemies off.

Red Hare, because he can run quite slow at times, and its also great for
getting to where you need to go, fast.  Use this to run to those quick spots,
Well, Quick.  I don't recommend fighting on the horse though, get off to do
that.  But, as always, attack as your charging through enemy units.

Tiger Amulet, hell, it makes him stronger, i recommend this
for ALL officers.

Peacock Amulet, Extra Health, always a plus.

Tortoise Amulet, It helps keep health high, a big help in the last Musou
stage.

Horned Helm, because last Musou, hes on his horse quite a bit, so its easier
to get kills.

Way of Musou, because of course, as always the True Musou is better then
normal Musou.

Taishi Ci's Musou
__________________________________________________________________

1. Battle of the Wu Territory - start off killing every officer, troops and
base you can.  Take over bases, When Sun Quan is trapped, kill him, and if
you see Zhou Tai, kill him on the way.  Take out Zhou Yu, hes a major pain in
the ass.  so, just kill off troops, get a high KO rate, and kill Sun Ce when
you feel like it.  When you encounter him, a cutscene will play.

2. Battle of Xia Kou - Kill Huang Zu.  Start off the battle, by rushing to Cai
Mao, Killing any officer on the way.  If you brought a body guard, leave him
behind, as he can take alot of your kills.  Kill Cai Mao, and the other
officer near him, and fight your way out.  You can rack up alot of kills here,
so have fun.

3. Battle of He Fei - start off by taking over the defense base in front of
you, and the supply base beyond that.  When Zhang Liao shows up, rush to
Sun Quan to save him.  Kill off Xu Huang when he shows up, to make sure he
doesnt flank the bottom.  Kill Zhang Liao when he appears again.  Take out
Pang De on the way, to or from the bottom, and any bases in the way.  kill
Zhang Liao when he appears again, then rush up top, and slay Cao Cao.

4. The Invasion of Nan Zhong - Kill Dong Tu Na, Ahui Nan and Jinhuan Sanjie
right off the bat, and slay any pesky peon that gets in your way.  Kill Zhu
Rong, and take her elephant, take out the defense base on the left of the
map, and capture the attack base up top.  March into the allied base with the
elephant, knocking down the walls on both sides.  When the task force
shows up, take him out, dont let him knock out the bridge, and kill the
beast masters.  Then march through the enemy camp, i recommend long way, as to
kill more troops, and kill Meng Huo.  Dont let anyone too close to Meng Huo,
until the beast master and task force has been taken care of, or he'll appear
close to the main camp.

5. Battle of He Fei Castle - Whoo, I dont like this one.  Start off by
eliminating Xu Huang, and those annoying troops in your way.  When Lu Xun
gives the command, rush around the left side, killing Cao Zhang and
Cao Xiu on the way.  Of course, attack soldiers on the way.  Kill the defense
captains manning the catapults, (have a little fun flying down the stairs with
your jump charge attack) and kill the gate captain, letting everyone in!  When
the task force appears on the ships, kill them before they set the ship on
fire, also don't forget, kill all officers you come across.  wrap it up by
killing as many soldiers as possible, then go after Cao Pi.
