Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires Aerial Movement Tier List

S등급: Wavedashers

S Tierscan directly jump-cancel out of aerial attacks upon landing, and additionally carries fast air momentum while chaining the attack.

Among weapons, these two are notably faster and easier to pull off than all the rest.

• Daqiao (Pugil Stick)
• 검

• Xiao Qiao (Paired Fans)
• Zhang He (Claws)
• Zhurong (부메랑)

• Xing Cai (검 & 방패)
• Zhuge Liang (War Fan) ← Very difficult to pull off; usually lands in B Tier unless mastered

B Tiershave very similar movement capabilities to

A Tiers, but the aerial attacks they have access to will gimp their horizontal speed and are only really useful for extending air time.

Guan Suo (Sabatons) gets special note for becoming able to wavedash so long as you can keep hitting enemies with its aerial attack. This only works while enemies are present, 하지만, so it isn’t useful for traversing huge distances.

• Xu Shu (검 & Hook)

C등급: Double Jumpers
