Wen Yang is a strong counterpuncher who thrives on punishing aggression and seizing momentum. His unique ability to immediately respond to damage with a Duel discourages opponents from reckless attacks, while "Enemy’s Defeat" allows him to capitalize on his skill and nerve. While he can falter when low on cards or against indirect threats, a well-timed Duel can flip the game in his favor. He is best played with aggression and cunning, taking calculated risks to dominate the battlefield.

Wen Yang was one of the formidable warriors during the twilight of the Three Kingdoms era. His bravery was forged during two successive rebellions against the Sima clan. At just 18 years old, he famously led a daring night assault on Sima Shi’s camp, causing such chaos that the Wei regent suffered a physical breakdown during the attack. Later, despite his father's execution by Zhuge Dan, Wen Yang defected to Sima Zhao and helped suppress the same rebellion, earning a pardon and military title. Under the Jin dynasty, he became renowned for subduing Xianbei tribes, yet his career ended tragically when he was executed on false charges of treason.

In Sanguosha, Wen Yang’s abilities—"Strong Attack" and "Enemy’s Defeat"—perfectly capture his ferocity and resilience. "Strong Attack" reflects his relentless pressure in combat, mirroring his reputation for riding headlong into enemy lines. "Enemy’s Defeat" emphasizes his aggressive response to injury, channeling pain into immediate counteroffensives. Wen Yang plays like the historical warrior he was: bold, unstoppable, and unafraid to turn the tide of battle through sheer force of will.
