Analysis:
Zhang Jiao is completely messed up in this game. He only gets more and more messed up each game he appears nowadays. He mobs so crazy that he barely needs to farm kills in Yu Province, he simply just gets kills on the way.

Musou II is very strong and will refill his Rage to the brink of it, and possibly overflow it. His Roar sustain from Musou II is fantastic. Rage Springs is there to ensure max Rage at the end of all his Musou II spam in the lowest populated stages.

To refill his Musou gauges, he resupplies them through activating Rage. During Rage, he will need to utilize his messed up C1 EX buff. C1 EX allows all his normal strings and charge attacks to guard break. Not only that, is amplifies his physical damage output to God-like levels. After C1 EX, prepare to normal string all officers and enemies to death.

During Rage, he can also abuse C5 EX. This move may not be strong (compared to his other movesets), but still strong enough to kill peons and mess up all types of guarding enemies as it penetrates through all blocking/guarding enemies, this includes shield peons. In conjunction with C1 EX buff, his normal strings and C5 EX can obliterate anything in his path. He can even just C1 EX everything to death if he wanted.

Zhang Jiao is not a sitting duck once he enters Rage. In fact, his damage output is overall stronger than his Musou II and even stronger than Lu Bu's normal string after R1 buff.

Zhang Jiao's shortcoming is dealing with officer pileup efficiently. He can only effectively punish them because he can control/bait the officer pileup or hope that they walk into it, but that's about it. It is not a sure-fire, consistent strategy to win the officer pileup war, but nonetheless, it works and is safe to just indiscriminately fire off his Musou II like nobody's business. This is not entirely bad because more than half of the roster in this game cannot even do what he does against officer pileup, but for him, it is under-performing.

His best method against officer pile up is to gather them up, Rage C5 EX before his Rage ends to ensure they all unblock, then perform Musou II. This is the "safest" and best method to get multiple officers to unblock without sacrificing too much survivability because the ! officers might Storm Rush his slow C5. Though seriously, he should really just spam Musou II, kill what he can kill and then Rage C1 EX + normal string and C5 EX the remaining one's to death.

With:
1.) Spam Musou II x3 while refilling Rage (possibly alot more Musou with Roar sustains)
2.) Rage with C1 EX + normal string and C5 EX
3.) Repeat

He will always avoid officers that are strong against his weapon. Harmony does this man no harm. Do not trifle with this man, or he will mess you up.
