Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered All Characters Overview
Dynasty Warriors 3 Remastered is a game with a character roster divided into four official groups: Wei, Wu, Shu, and Other. The official character page confirms 42 named characters for the remastered release. This roster includes major faction leaders, famous generals, legendary strategists, and special characters associated with the wider Three Kingdoms setting.
The list below is designed as a quick reference for character selection and roster research. It does not assign unofficial power rankings or gameplay tiers. Instead, it preserves the official grouping shown by Koei Tecmo’s character listing.
The official source is the Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered character page. Character names and faction placement should be checked there if future updates change the presentation.
| Roster group | Character count | Main identity |
|---|---|---|
| Wei | 10 | Cao Cao’s faction and its leading officers |
| Wu | 12 | The Sun family and Wu commanders |
| Shu | 10 | Liu Bei’s faction and Shu heroes |
| Other | 10 | Independent, rival, legendary, and special figures |
| Total | 42 | Officially listed character roster |

Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Zhenji, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Zhu, Zhang He, Dian Wei, and Xiahou Dun.

Use faction grouping as your first navigation method. It is more reliable than trying to sort characters by weapon, story importance, or personal preference.

The official page displays the faction sections separately, making it easy to compare the number of characters associated with each group. The Wu list is especially useful for players researching the Sun family or looking for a single faction with the broadest confirmed selection.
Do not combine faction lists when counting the roster. The official page separates Wei, Wu, Shu, and Other, and each character should be counted only once.
Shu and Other Character Lists
Shu contains 10 characters associated with Liu Bei’s faction, including several of the best-known figures from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms tradition. The Other grouping also contains 10 characters, bringing together rivals, independent figures, and legendary characters outside the three primary faction sections.
Shu characters
The official Shu grouping contains:
- Zhao Yun
- Guan Yu
- Zhang Fei
- Ma Chao
- Huang Zhong
- Wei Yan
- Jiang Wei
- Pang Tong
- Zhuge Liang
- Liu Bei
| Shu character | Roster position | Reference note |
|---|---|---|
| Zhao Yun | 1 | Shu officer |
| Guan Yu | 2 | Shu officer |
| Zhang Fei | 3 | Shu officer |
| Ma Chao | 4 | Shu officer |
| Huang Zhong | 5 | Shu officer |
| Wei Yan | 6 | Shu officer |
| Jiang Wei | 7 | Shu officer |
| Pang Tong | 8 | Shu strategist |
| Zhuge Liang | 9 | Shu strategist |

Other characters
The Other section contains 10 characters:
- Zhang Jiao
- Diaochan
- Lu Bu
- Dong Zhuo
- Yuan Shao
- Meng Huo
- Zhurong
- Fuxi
- Nuwa
- Ziluan
| Other character | Roster position | Roster grouping |
|---|---|---|
| Zhang Jiao | 1 | Other |
| Diaochan | 2 | Other |
| Lu Bu | 3 | Other |
| Dong Zhuo | 4 | Other |
| Yuan Shao | 5 | Other |
| Meng Huo | 6 | Other |
| Zhurong | 7 | Other |
| Fuxi | 8 | Other |
| Nuwa | 9 | Other |
| Ziluan | 10 | Other |
The Other group is important for completion tracking because it is not a single conventional kingdom. If you are building a personal roster checklist, record these characters separately instead of attaching them to Wei, Wu, or Shu.
The Other category is a roster label, not a single faction story. Keep its characters together for reference, but avoid treating them as one unified kingdom.
How to Check the Full Character Roster
Use the following process when comparing your in-game character selection screen with the official list. It helps prevent missed names, duplicate entries, and incorrect faction assignments.
Start with the Four Groups
Separate your notes into Wei, Wu, Shu, and Other. These are the four groupings shown by the official character listing.
Record Names in Display Order
Write each name in the order shown by the official page or your character menu. Display order makes it easier to find a missed entry.
Verify the Faction Count
Confirm the expected totals: 10 for Wei, 12 for Wu, 10 for Shu, and 10 for Other.
Check Special Characters
Pay particular attention to the Other group, including Fuxi, Nuwa, and Ziluan, because these names may not appear under a kingdom heading.
Compare Against the Official Page
Use the official character roster as the final reference for names and presentation.
The roster is also connected to the remastered release’s edition information. The official product page lists a Standard Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes 42 retro costumes based on the original Dynasty Warriors 3, matching the number of characters listed on the official character page. Costume availability and character identity are separate subjects, so do not treat a costume count as a second character roster.
