DYNASTY WARRIORS 3 - SPEED/BOW ATTACK/BOW DEFENSE CHARTS - V1.0 -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Contents of this FAQ were written and compiled by the good Professor Worm at micro@twu.net - Please do not reproduce or post without permission to do so. Compiling many of these stats was a difficult and time consuming task, I only seek a little credit for it. Thanks! -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- INTRODUCTION - These charts are taken from a FAQ in the works that I am producing for the characters in Dynasty Warriors III. However, that takes a long time to do as I like to check and test everything before I write it to make sure the facts I'm giving are correct. However these charts are now complete. I thought people might like to have a look at these now, instead of when I'm able to finish the full blown FAQ. That and it puts them in a nice condensed file for easier reading. Enjoy! -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- RANDOM FACT - For the record, a character's life bar does have a measureable numerical value. Completed, but unadjusted by weapons or items, a character has 280 life. Seems like it would be a nice even 300, but I tried that and it doesn't add up right. It's 280. Lu Bu with his Lunar Halberd equiped has 370, and could get as high as 430 with a good Peacock Urn. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- SPEED CHART - Short Explination : All characters were timed between a set distance of two points. Each of them ran the course 3 times, to prevent human error by making sure the 3 times were consistant. From this I devised the 1-10 ranking system, 30 seconds being a 10, 52.5 seconds being a 1. So 2.5 seconds = 1 rank. Normal speed is marked by an '@' on the chart. Those with extra speed on their 4th weapons have a second rating, marked by an 'X'.

Using mad math skillz, I've figured them out and based this chart off the ammount of life LOST, not remaining, when shot by one specific Crossbow Captian 5 times. High numbers to the right are bad. Low numbers to the left are good. As previously noted, characters only have 280 life. Even though these are some of the most powerful archer units in the game, losing 188 life in only 5 shots as Guan Yu is something to consider. --------------------------------------------- | DAMAGE RECIEVED | --------------------------------------------------------- NAME 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 --------------------------------------------------------- Guan Yu | | | | | | | | | | | @ 188 Zhang Fei | | | | | | | | | | @ 176 | Zhao Yun | | | | | | | | @ 158 | | Ma Chao | | | | | | | | | |@ 172 | Huang Zhong | | @ 98 | | | | | | | | | Wei Yan | | | | | | | | | | @ 180 Pang Tong | | @ 98 | | | | | | | | | Jiang Wei | | | | | @ 131 | | | | | Zhuge Liang |@ 83 | | | | | | | | | | Liu Bei | | | | | @ 128 | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------- NAME 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 --------------------------------------------------------- Dian Wei | | | | @ 115 | | | | | | | Zhang He | | | |@ 112 | | | | | | | Xiahou Dun | @ 90 | | | | | | | | | Xiahou Yuan | | @ 98 | | | | | | | | | Zhen Ji | | | | | | |@ 142 | | | | Xu Huang | | | | | | |@ 142 | | | | Xu Zhu | | | | | | | | | |@ 172 | Zhang Liao | | | | | | | @ 150 | | | Sima Yi | | | @ 105 | | | | | | | | Cao Cao | | | | | @ 124 | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------- NAME 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 --------------------------------------------------------- Sun Shang | | | | @ 128 | | | | | | Zhou Yu | | | | | | |@ 142 | | | | Huang Gai | | | | | | | | | @ 165 | | Lu Xun | | | | @ 128 | | | | | | Gan Ning | | | | | | | @ 150 | | | Lu Meng | | |@ 101 | | | | | | | | Taishi Ci | | | | @ 116 | | | | | | | Da Qiao | | | | | | |@ 142 | | | | Xiao Qiao | | | | | | @ 135 | | | | | Sun Ce | | | | | | | | @ 154 | | | Sun Quan |@ 82 | | | | | | | | | | Sun Jian | | | | | | | | @ 158 | | --------------------------------------------------------- NAME 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 --------------------------------------------------------- Lu Bu | | | | | @ 128 | | | | | Dong Zhuo | | | | | | | | | @ 165 | | Diao Chan | | | | | | |@ 142 | | | | Yuan Shao | | | | | | | | @ 158 | | Zhang Jiao | | | | | @ 128 | | | | | Meng Huo | | | | | | |@ 142 | | | | Zhu Rong | | | | @ 120 | | | | | | Fu Xi | | | | | | | | @ 158 | | Nu Wa | | | | | | @ 135 | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------- NAME 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 --------------------------------------------------------- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- BOW ATTACK CHART Short Explination : The two units this was tested on are... Crossbow - 190 life Crossbow Captian - 255 life The chart bars on the chart below represent those two numbers. Both types were hit with a charge arrow and the ammount of damage measured. Unfortunatly, making a chart in which I could position exact numerical values would need a lot more space, or a spreadsheet, or something... So this one is basic. Life remaining on Crossbow type enemies is marked with an 'X'. Life remaining on Crossbow Captians is marked with an '@'. You might notice some odd variation. So did I, but even re-running the tests came out with the same results. I don't know why some Generals do more to one type than other Generals, but less to another. Just to drive me nuts, I guess... --------------------------- | ENEMY LIFE | ------------------------------------------------------ NAME 0 190 255 HIT RATE | ------------------------------------------------------ Guan Yu | X @ | | Zhang Fei | X @| | Often | Zhao Yun | X @ | | Ma Chao | X @ | | Huang Zhong X @ | | | Wei Yan | X @| | | Pang Tong | X @| | Hits Rarely | Jiang Wei | X @ | Sometimes | Zhuge Liang | X |@ | | Liu Bei | X @ | | ------------------------------------------------------ NAME 0 190 255 MISS RATE | ------------------------------------------------------ Dian Wei | X |@ | Sometimes | Zhang He | X @ | | Xiahou Dun | X @ | | | Xiahou Yuan X @ | | | Zhen Ji | X @ | | Hits Rarely | Xu Huang | X @| | Sometimes | Xu Zhu | X @| | | Zhang Liao | X @| | Sometimes | Sima Yi | X @| | | Cao Cao | X @ | | | ------------------------------------------------------ NAME 0 190 255 MISS RATE | ------------------------------------------------------ Sun Shang | X @ | | Zhou Yu | X |@ | Rare | Huang Gai | X @ | | Sometimes | Lu Xun | X |@ | | Gan Ning | X @| | | Lu Meng | X @ | | Taishi Ci | X @ | | | Da Qiao | X |@ | | Xaio Qiao | X |@ | | Sun Ce | X @| | | Sun Quan | X @ | | | Sun Jian | X @ | | ------------------------------------------------------ NAME 0 190 255 MISS RATE | ------------------------------------------------------ Lu Bu | X @ | | | Dong Zhou | X @ | | Diao Chan | X |@ | | Yuan Shao | X @ | | | Zhang Jiao | X |@ | | Meng Huo | X @ | | Zhu Rong | X @| | | Fu Xi | X @ | | Nu Wa | X @ | | ------------------------------------------------------ NAME 0 190 255 MISS RATE | ------------------------------------------------------ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
