Then imagine the game based not on the actual history, but on a unashamed rule of cool romanticized novelization of the history, written in 2850 A.D. Grant, and William Sherman as gun-toting badasses, and Abe Lincoln gets re-imagined as leading from the battlefront wielding twin laser-sighted M1s. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Ulysses S. Imagine if you will a similar game based on the American Civil War, where you get to play as Robert E.

Good elemental attackers are: Ding Feng, Guan yinping Other good musou spammers are: Yue Ying, Zuo Ci, Zhang Jiao, Guan Ping The reason he's only second best is due to his inferior Rage musou when compared to Zhao Yun.
