It's all about spears and polearms in shu. Let's see, now who in Shu uses some sort of stick with a blade on the end of it. Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Yue Ying, Xing Cai, Wei Yan (traitor), Ma Chao, Jiang Wei, Guan Yu, etc. Not that it's a bad thing: spears are good at impaling stuff. Liu Bei is a bit uptight, though, in contrast to the other two main factions. He is therefore sometimes bothersome, but Shu is still amazing for gameplay in any case.
