• Zhang Fei can use a weapon ability each and every time he attacks.

• Zhang Fei can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time.

• Zhang Fei is typically most effective during his first turn. He can easily focus on a single enemy and use all the Attacks in his hand to deal significant damage. However, this leaves him drained of Attacks, making it difficult to respond defensively to Duels and Barbarians later.

• While Zhang Fei could choose to save some Attacks for later, this strategy is unreliable. Opponents can gain armor, +1 Horses, or use Capture, preventing Zhang Fei from attacking effectively. It's often best for him to 'strike while the iron is hot.'

• Card Replenishers:
  Liu Bei, Guo Jia, and Xun Yu are highly beneficial to Zhang Fei, as they can help replenish his hand, allowing him to continue attacking multiple times in a turn.

• Escape Artists:
  Zhen Ji can use any black card as Escape, giving her a strong chance to avoid Zhang Fei's relentless attacks and mitigate his offensive pressure.

• Damage Limiters:
  Chen Gong only receives one unit of damage per turn, effectively neutralizing Zhang Fei's advantage of being able to attack multiple times in a single turn.

• Retaliators:
  Xiahou Dun, Sima Yi, and Fa Zheng possess retaliatory abilities that trigger per attack. Zhang Fei’s multi-attack strategy can lead to repeated activations of these abilities, leaving him vulnerable with fewer cards, reduced health, or both after a prolonged offensive.

King

• • Zhang Fei is one of the weakest choices for king. His focus on aggressive attacks doesn't support the sustained defense required for a king role.

Loyalist

• • Zhang Fei can be an effective loyalist, particularly in his first turn where his ability to inflict significant damage can be a strong asset. However, his effectiveness may diminish in subsequent turns.

Rebel

• • Zhang Fei excels as a rebel. His ability to deal substantial damage in a single turn makes him a formidable opponent, especially if he sits to the ruler's immediate left where they might have fewer cards left from previous attacks.

Spy

• • Zhang Fei is not an ideal spy due to his lack of durability, which impacts his effectiveness in the role.

The saying 'the candle that burns twice as bright only lasts half as long' perfectly encapsulates Zhang Fei's approach. His strength lies in delivering a high-impact offensive quickly, but this comes at the cost of his longevity. While it's possible to save attacks for later, Zhang Fei's effectiveness is often maximized by capitalizing on an opponent's vulnerability and going all-in. Like using a Crossbow for a single decisive attack, Zhang Fei's talent is to focus on a weak enemy and strike with everything he has, aiming to finish them off swiftly.

Zhang Fei, one of the most famed generals of the Three Kingdoms period, is renowned for his fierce valor and legendary exploits. His story is peppered with dramatic feats that underscore his reputation as a formidable warrior.

One of the most notable episodes in Zhang Fei’s life is his courageous stand at the Changban Bridge. As Cao Cao's massive army pursued Liu Bei's fleeing forces, Zhang Fei made a daring decision to hold them off. He stationed himself alone at the narrow Changban Bridge and, with a fearsome roar that echoed through the mountains, managed to delay Cao Cao's advance. His roar, combined with his fierce demeanor and the sight of his single-handed defense, instilled fear and confusion among Cao Cao’s troops. The psychological impact was so great that Cao Cao’s soldiers hesitated, giving Liu Bei and his followers critical time to escape and regroup.
