A classmate of Zhuge Liang, he was often 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 led the campaign himself. IV. Why would I use Pang Tong? Because he has speedy attacks and good arrow defense. He has o.k. speed and insane crowd clearing ability. His attacks are the craziest in the game, and he's really fun to use. Plus he looks like a hobo! What more could you want! V. Unlocking Pang Tong At the Cheng Du stage, save Pang Tong from the ambush and clear the stage with him alive. VI. Moves and Weapons Pang Tong has extremely fun moves and a killer musou. Here they are. Running attack: Pang Tong runs forward and puts his staff out in front of him, levitating a few feet through the air. Great for surprising generals. Combos: T: Lunges forward and makes a mirror image of his staff, which merges with the other when his lunge is done. Kind of slow but still good. ST: Throws his staff upwards into the air. Good speed making it good for surprising enemy generals when there about to attack. SST: Sets his staff on the ground and swings forward on it, stunning enemies. Great when Pang Tong is surrounded by enemies, fast and effective. SSST: Spins around into the air., his feet vertical. His staff spins around knocking enemies. A great 360 degree attack, good for clearing out crowds. SSSST: Similar to his ST, but stronger and can jump into the air, knocking enemies back to the ground. Standard juggling attack. SSSSST: Pang Tong spins around, causing a mini tornado. Excellent for crowd clearing, similar to his musou. Regular Attacks: S: Pang Tong spins around, hitting enemies with his staff. SS: jabs at enemies with back end of staff. SSS: Bends over backwards, hitting enemies in a vertical fashion. SSSS: jumps up kicking enemies with his feet. SSSSS: Thrusts his staff out, horizontally towards the enemy. SSSSSS: Spins around in the air twice, hitting enemies with his staff. Musou: Spins around causing a short tornado. just like the true musou just shorter and without fire. Good crowd control. True Musou: Spins around causing a fire tornado. When the musou bar is out Pang Tong spins around faster for a second and then jumps up, hitting any remaining enemies with his staff. This is one of the best musou's in the game. Probably the best crowd clearer, this can bring a general's health down extremely. Weapons: 1st weapon: Staff Attack +13 Max Hits 4 Other stats vary 2nd weapon: Mirage Staff Attack +28 Max Hits 5 Other stats vary 3rd weapon: Staff of Wind Attack +38 Max Hits 6 Other stats vary 4th weapon: Tornado Staff Attack +38 Max Hits 6 HP Max =66 Attack +22 Bow Attack +46 Reach +28 Musou Charge +29 2nd and 3rd weapons are random. Play harder levels for a better chance to get them. 4th weapon strategy: Stage: Cheng Du Conditions: Play on hard. When surrounded by Zhang Ren's troops, kill Zhang Ren. Special item will appear on the northwest side of the map. Startegy: First, kill some of the guys that Liu Bei and Zhao Yun are fighting. Once you've killed most of them go up the path that Pang Tong takes when your playing as someone else. You should know who this is since you unlocked Pang Tong, if not then you must have cheated. Shame on you! Any way's you will get a message saying that you were surrounded. Run as fast as you can up the hill and kill Zhang Ren as fast as you can, before archers can do to much damage. Grab the weapon and finish the stage. VII. Character Review and strategies Ok, here it is. Pang Tong's strength's and weaknesses. This is where I tell you how to use Pang Tong to his fullest. First of all, his weaknesses.. Pang Tong is a very weak attacker, and he lacks range. He also isnt the best defensive player ever, and he cant run very fast. Plus, from my experiences his bow skills are simply horrible, So, if he's not powerful, not fast, not defensive, and cant aim a bow then why is he so good? Well............ Pang Tong is a master at fast attacks and crowd control. He has a variety of attacks that can get him out of tight spots. One of his best attacks is his SST attack. When your surrounded by enemies this is a great way to get out of there and do damage too. With this attack you can stun half the people surrounding you, which is very effective. Pang Tong's SSST is also excellent, and like all his moves is performed fast. It is great to just push unit's off of you, giving you some breathing space. One of the best strategies with Pang Tong is to run into the middle of a large group of enemies and use either this attack, Pang Tong's SSSSST attack, or his musou. Speaking of SSSSST attacks, Pang Tong's SSSSST is great. It creates a mini-tornado and is great for keeping men at bay. If people start pummeling you, then use this to launch them. Now, Pang Tong's musou. He has one of the best in the game. Use this to inflict heavy damage to all enemies around you, including generals. This is a great move when you've weakened all the people that are ganging up on you. You can easily kill 10-20 people with one of these. All in all Pang Tong is a highly capable fighter, even though he lacks power or speed. He has fun attacks and he looks like a hobo! That's Cool! VIII. Stage Strategies 1st stage: Hu Lao Gate You start in the upper-right hand corner of the map. Move down and secure the first two gate's, killing Wang Fang on the way. After that go up the little hill and kill Xu Rong. Secure that gate as well. Next, head towards Fan Sui gate and kill some of the soldiers there. Kill there general afterwards. Once the gat opens climb up the stairs and go left. There is a general. Kill his archers and then attack him. He should fall fairly easy. Go up the path, killing men as you go. Once you get to the top kill the gate captain and move on. Head for the bottom right corner of the map. You'll probably pass a big man with antenna's growing out of his head. His horse looks like it got back from Maui without putting any sunscreen on. That's Lubu.........don't pursue Lu BU......... seriously don't, at least not with a fresh Pang Tong. You can kill some of his officers if you like. After you get to the bottom kill the gate captain and enter the bend. A cut-scene will play and a whole lot of archers will appear. Run through and go protect the assault captain. After he opens the gate kill Li Ru who pops up. Enter the gateway and kill Dio Chan. Trust me, she isn't hard at all. Sneak along the back wall and kill off all three gate captains. When you think your ready encounter the big purple frog in the center of the castle. His name is Dong Zhou. Keep fighting and the big man will go down in no time. 2nd Battle: Battle at Chang Ban You'll start in a line of three generals, facing Xiahou Dun and Zhang Liao. Both are formidable fighters. Pick one and lead him away from the other. After killing him go for the second one. Once both are dead head towards the top of the map and kill the two gate captains. Be careful, since Cao Cao may show up at any minute. After your done head for the winding path on the left. Now go in a counter clockwise circle, killing Xu Haung and then Zhang He. Once you get to Liu Bei help him kill Xiahou Yuan and then head for Xu Zhu. Now I now he'll look like the Michelin man at first, but trust me, its Xu Zhu. Kill him and secure the two gates. Now all you have to do is take Cao Cao down. He's strong, so give it everything you got. 3rd Battle: The Battle at Chi Bi Pang Tong will start by Zhuge Liang's shrine. First of all, go kill the gate captain near the shrine. Go up and kill Xiahou Yuan. Kill his officers to, they drop weapons. Then head through all the boats until your on the small part of land on the right side of the map. Help Taishi Chi out. He always gets slaughtered by Xu Haung. Any ways kill Xu Huang and the gate on the top of the map. Yue Jin should be next. Kill him and the gate nearby. Don't alert Cao Cao. Instead, move along the land and kill the gate captains. You'll soon see Li Dian. Kill him and then head towards the center of the screen. If the fire attack was successful than lots of Wei generals should be dead. Mop up everyone besides Cao Cao and then head with your allies towards him. It will be another hard fight, but if your good and your allies help you should easily defeat Cao Cao once again. 4th Battle: Assault on Cheng Du You'll start in a forest where you cant use the mini-map. Just use the map on the menu. Ok, when you start of turn around and head towards Deng Xian. Kill him and then go over and fight Leng Bao. Once he's dead climb up that path and kill all off Li Yan's archers. After there dead kill Li Yan himself and go up to Liu Xun. Clear out the soldiers around there and kill Liu Xun. Grab a horse and then go back to where you started the level. Go down that path until you get out of the forest. A message will pop up and you'll be ambushed by a large amount of soldiers. Break your way through and run up the hill, killing archers along the way. Kill Zhang Ran and clear out any pursuing enemies. Ok the only general's that are left should be Liu Han and Liu Zhang. Sneak past Liu Zhang and kill Liu Han. Run through Liu Zhang's forces and secure the only enemy gate. After that's done clear out any enemies that are by Liu Zhang and kill him, which is pretty easy to do. 5th Battle: The Battle at Yi Ling Ok, here's a toughy. You will start right by Lu Meng. There is a rock valley to the left. Remember that valley. When the stage starts run towards Lu Meng. Start fighting. Lu Meng has rock solid defense and it might take a while to defeat him. If it's taking longer than a few minutes, forget him. Either way, grab his horse and make a run for the valley. A few minutes after the battle starts a cut scene will show Lu Xun issuing the fire attack. In the valley is. Kill him as fast as you can. If he is able to create the fire attack your pretty much screwed. After he's dead head towards either one of these officers. If you didn't kill Lu Meng then go kill him. If Lu Meng is already dead go out the left side of the valley and kill Sun Sun Xiang. Oddly enough she's not that tough, the gate captain nearby is a lot tougher. Once those two are dead go up to the upper left corner and kill Cheng Pu. Now if Zhou Yu is not dead go way down there and finish him off. Once all the general's except for Lu Xun and Sun Quan have fallen head towards the enemy base. Lure Lu Xun out and kill him in the safety of your allies. Now be careful and slowly work your way into Sun Quan's base. They don't call him Sun "I love archers" Quan for nothing. There will be a huge amount of archers, just do your best to avoid them. Secure both gates and then clear out all of those archers and men. Keep working until only Sun Quan and a few of his guards are left. When your ready, rush Sun Quan and defeat Wu once and for good. 6th Battle: The Mountain Bandit Campaign This stage is really just a practice stage. I don't know why Koei put this in Pang Tong's sixth battle. I really don't think I have to explain this one. Just kill the three Lt. Commanders, secure the gate, and kill the commander. Simple! 7th Battle: The Nanman Campaign This is it. Pang Tong's final battle. You'll start just in front of the Shu base. If you look you'll see Meng Huo starts off extremely close. Run over there and kill him. Yay! You won right? Wrong! In this stage you have to beat Meng Huo seven times to "break his spirit". Once you beat Meng Hou head over to Zhang Fei's position and kill any generals that are over there. There's two, Dong Tu Ne and Wu Tugu. Meng Hou will also show up her. Do a circle pattern around, killing all three generals and the two gates. Once that's done head for the opposite side of the battlefield, where Ma Chao is. Meng Huo will be here as well as King Dousi. Defeat these two and secure the gate. When you go back up you'll see Meng Huo by your base again. Defeat him yet again. If your counting, that's four Meng Huo battles. Next head down the middle of the screen. You will encounter a new enemy, an elephant. Jump up to knock off the rider. If there not already dead, kill Yong Kai, Dailai Dongzhu, and King Mulu. Also take out the two gates. To make access between the two sides easier, knock down the wall connecting the two with an elephant. Meng Huo will appear on the left side. He has an elephant know. Mop the floor with him and head back to your base. Meng Hou will show up AGAIN. Kill him and head down towards the Nanman base. So far you've defeated Meng Hou six times. Only one more time. But first, kill Meng You and secure the two nearby gates. By now you've seen Zhu Rong, so go engage her(not like that you sick minded people). She has female bodyguards and a big elephant. Once shes dead run up into the Nanman HQ. After you secure the gate, kill off all the nanman rushing at you. Finally, only Meng Huo will be left. Now all you have to do is defeat him one more time and the big chubu-lubu will fall for good, giving up. Congratulations! You just beat Pang Tong's musou mode! IX.
