Hero Information
Cao Cao
Class: Assassin, Fighter
Chinese version name: 曹操
"I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me." Cao Cao is willing to go to any lengths necessary to achieve his ambitious desires. His experience with oppression by the elites in these troubled times has taught him that relying on benevolence and virtue is futile in the face of corrupted power. Cao Cao understands that if he wants to restore order in these turbulent times, he will have to fight fire with fire—even if it costs him his name. Humanity is nothing more than pawns to him, and the massive sword he wields is destined to be stained with the blood of anyone who gets in his way.

Tips and easy combos to learn
Cao Cao has no energy consumption and has multiple charge and control capabilities. His charge output is very terrifying. Try to use skill 2 to consume the opponent in the early stage. When the opponent's health is within the instant kill range, use skill 1 to kill him at close range.
During team battles, try to find opportunities to rush into the enemy's back row, posing a great threat to the enemy's back row. The lifesucking effect and toughness provided by the ultimate skill will make Cao Cao very survivable and continue to cause tons of damage.
