Brilliant in martial arts and academics, known for her spectacular inventions, who marveled anyone who saw them. She was said to be extremely unattractive, but Zhuge Liang saw beyond this ploy, which it was. It was used to drive off anyone who wanted her for beauty, and not for anything else. her father considered Zhuge liang a wonderful match for her, and quickly set up the marriage. When Zhuge Liang joined, so did she, helping Zhuge Liang with her inventions, and strategies. When Zhuge went to conquer the south, the Nanman tribe, she created the juggernaut, a weapon that spewed fire, and scared off the tigers that endangered the campaign. When Zhuge Liang worried about the supply line, she created the Wood Ox, a supply transport unit that would protect the supply line. Even after the death of Shu leader, Liu Bei, she continued to live happily with her husband. She died soon after her husband's death at Wu Zhang Plains, her last words were to her son, "Be loyal, and filial." __________________________________________________________________ Unlocking Yue Ying __________________________________________________________________ Yue Ying is unlocked by Beating Zhuge Liang's Musou mode once.

What you need to do is rush your way to the middle, killing all officers on the way. When that's done, rush down to help Zhuge Liang from Zhong Hui, then rush all the way back up to kill Deng Ai. MAKE SURE YOU KILL HIM BEFORE HE SETS UP THE CATAPULTS!! then just go along like normal, killing everything in your way, saving generals, keeping Zhuge alive. For help, refer to my Musou Mode walkthrough of this battle. __________________________________________________________________ Yue Ying's Pros and Cons __________________________________________________________________ Pros: She is extremely powerful. Her move set is excellent for crowd clearing, and her grace is second to none. her charge is wonderful, takes out enemies at a distance, and you can move it to take out more enemies. Her normal attack set is quite scary, almost all of them do a 360 attack, clearing enemies all around you. Her Musou is fantastic for both officer and crowd clearing, and her True Musou really finishes off the job. In fact, her crowd clearing capabilities are so fantastic, I got close to 3500 kills with her (25 off.) Cons: she can move a little slow, and her attacks can be slightly on the slow side. When using the charge attack, she leaves herself open to a possible attack from behind and side. She also has low health, I tend to have gotten dangerously low with her more then enough times, to cause extreme discomfort. But on the bright side, thanks to my bodyguards HEAL ability, I havent died yet! __________________________________________________________________ Yue Ying's Moves __________________________________________________________________ Triangle (Charge) - Throws her spear, twirling it around about two feet in front of her. Keep pressing triangle to continue the assault for a few seconds longer. Jump + Triangle - Jumps up and swings any enemies in range, if it misses, she swings twice and falls, if she hits an enemy, she keeps swinging for about 5-6 swings. Does significant damage. Musou - Swings her spear around extremely fast, finishes off with an upwards slash. True Musou - Same as Musou, except stronger, and she finishes with an upward slash, that triggers a quite large whirlwind. Square - Single slash with spear. Square X2 - Single slash with spear, then slashes back. Square X3 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, then slashes upwards. Square X4 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, then does somewhat of an uppercut of weapons. Square X5 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, uppercuts with her spear, then does uppercut opposite way. Square X6 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, uppercuts with her spear, does uppercut opposite way, then slashes normally again, (can go into Evolution attack, hitting the same way again, only charged.) C1 - Single slash, then turns, and hits enemy with the bottom of spear, nailing them into the air. C2 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, then stabs at enemy, three times, doing multiple swirl hits each stab. C3 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, then 360 slash. C4 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, does somewhat of an uppercut of weapons, then attacks up, creating whirlwind. C5 - Single slash with spear, slashes back, slashes upwards, uppercuts with her spear, does uppercut opposite way, then does multiple 360 attacks, just like her Musou attack. __________________________________________________________________ Yue Ying's Best Items __________________________________________________________________ Orb - Fire Harness - Red Hare Item 1. -Tiger Amulet Item 2. -Peacock Amulet Item 3. -Tortoise Amulet Item 4. -Way of Musou Item 5. -Demon Band Why? - Fire Orb, Adds that little extra kick of power, to finish off the enemy. She has a fast recuperating speed after attacks, so no need for the Ice orb. Red Hare, because she can run quite slow at times. Use this to run to those quick spots, Well, Quick. Don't fight officers from your horse, only knock them down, fighting normal enemies can be fought effectively from there, but it's faster just to jump down. Tiger Amulet, hell, it makes her stronger, i recommend this for ALL officers. Tortoise Amulet, because as your charging, and you get hurt, you dont want the damage to be that considerable. You want to get that dish that damage out, not take it in. Way of Musou, because lets face it, she needs some major help with her attack power. So, whenever your being attacked, and cant defend, just hit that magic little Circle button, and you'll fix their ass. Demon Band, See above. __________________________________________________________________ Yue Ying's Musou __________________________________________________________________ 1. Battle of Chang Ban - Extremely easy, as soon as you start, head for the unoccupied base ahead. Take that over, head on through, and slaughter the enemy before you. Go ahead, test out her deadly skills, they're fun! Stay at the top of the map, go meet with Zhuge Liang once, swoop around that loop at the top left, and kill all reinforcements. I got over 1000 kills here, well worth the strategy. 2. Conquest of Nan Zhong - another simple stage, just not as much kills. Watch walls for secret passages, there are hidden passages behind trees here, and they help alot. Kill off all troops and officers that get in your way, take down Zhu Rong when she appears, and just keep kicking Meng Huo's ass. He'll eventually give in. 3. Battle of Tian Shui - When you start, automatically head to the base ahead of you, and kill the officer inside. All units in the base will flee, and head to the other base Zhuge told you to conquer. When thats all done, take run through enemy territory to kill Jiang Wei, use a musou rage, you'll have gotten one by now. When finished, retreat to allied territory, heal up, and kill what's-his-name when he tries to flee. Use a musou rage that you'll probably find by then, he'll crumble at your feet. 4. Battle of Chen Cang - kill all officers and alot of troops in front of the castle defense wall. When the ambush on the bottom left side is enacted, rush in and help, then take the mountain path on the right side of map, (watch out for ambush's) Kill off enemies there, help the 2nd ambush on bottom left, and then swoop in for the kill. (I got 3475 kills here, Wow.) 5. Battle of Wu Zhang Plains - Got to close for comfort, almost died in the beginning. Just kill, kill, kill. Protect the supply line, take out the two attack bases in the center, and kill even more. If Zhong Hui gets close to Zhuge Liang, slay his ass. Rush out, take the defense bases, kill off all officers, and the battle is your beyotch. __________________________________________________________________ Yue Ying's Costumes __________________________________________________________________ 1 - white and green material composing a dress, Green long boots, and black bottoms to the boots.
