8. Zhou Tai
Top 10 Best Dynasty Warriors Characters of All Time
While Zhou Tai may not be as exceptional as other characters in terms of how he plays into the story, he’s easily one of the strongest characters in the series, not to mention the pure coolness factor he has. Zhou Tai goes into battle with a katana, which he uses to deadly effect by drawing and sheathing it repeatedly. He’s a faithful vassal of the Wu army, and is most often found at Sun Ce’s side protecting him.
Throughout the series he’s one of the longest-surviving Wu generals, making it all the way until some of the final battles where Wei unites the land. Interestingly, in the alternate history story in Dynasty Warriors 8 Zhou Tai helps Sun Quan escape the failed fire attack, and becomes the last remaining Wu general standing between Wei and his lord. That should be testament enough to his strength.
