Wassup y'all! Here's an extra mid-week video. Please, please, PLEASE let this be the last Tier List Promotion video I have to do. I already have PTSD from dying 100+ times in Mt. Qi up to now.

Among every promotion test, this one was no doubt the hardest one yet. Neither of these guys have a good enough 4th weapon to token-chain with, but their filling method isn't safe enough to take on multiple officers at the same time without Rage, like the sword commanders can (Liu Bei, Sun Jian and Yuan Shao).

Because of this, I had to dig deep to come up with a gameplan that abused every single one of this stage's mechanic to help these guys survive. It goes like this:
1. From the start of the battle, run behind the back of the officers in the center and in the northwest to defeat the two lieutenants Zhang Hu and Guo Hai. Zhang He will get spooked and send Sima Yi away ONLY if an officer is defeated, but not a lieutenant.
2. Once that's done, inflict some damage on Fei Yao and Dai Ling, but DON'T DRAIN THEIR HEALTH BAR BELOW 50%! Or else Zhang He will get spooked and turn the entire army into Hyper mode.
3. After that, go to Xiahou Ba and kill him before his 3 lieutenants can swarm you. You HAVE to kill Xiahou Ba first among the 4 officers on the map because he has a whopping THREE lieutenants that would turn hyper, as opposed to Fei Yao and Dai Ling who each has 1.
4. Finally, Zhang He will now be spooked and turn the entire into Hyper mode, but it's too late for him, because Fei Yao and Dai Ling each has only about 50% of their health left, and no lieutenant to protect them. Kill each of them as fast as you can, before the other one can reach your location and swarm you.
5. Now, grab the only free Rage Token in the map, located in the northwest side of Mt. Qi's summit in the middle of the map. Use it to fight Zhang He, Sima Zhao and Sima Shi if they have clumped together by now. If not, pick them off one-by-one, and save the Token to use against Sima Yi.

In regards to Zhang Fei and Pang Tong, I regret to inform you guys that I will NOT promote them into high tier. As of right now, the high tier is severely over-populated with 19 characters, out of 50 in total: Ling Tong, Wei Yan, Xing Cai, Meng Huo, Dong Zhuo, Sima Yi, Zuo Ci, Da Qiao, Zhao Yun, Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Zhu Rong, Yuan Shao and Nu Wa.

Nu Wa was already the perfect cut-off point for this tier, and I can't place Zhang Fei and Pang Tong in the same tier as two other characters who are better than them in every way:
Ling Tong is basically Zhang Fei but with faster running speed, better filling/freezing, safer square string, and one of the best Token-chainers in the game on top of that.
Meng Huo is basically Pang Tong but with 5x faster and safer musou filling, better freezing, stronger dueling, and more damaging True Musou ending. Because he's compatible with a heavy weapon, he also does 1.25 times higher damage overall.

That said, I will still put Zhang Fei and Pang Tong at the very top of mid tier just for this phenomenal achievement. Any character who can clear Mt. Qi without a fan bodyguard, no matter how slowly or how cheaply, deserves a massive amount of respect.
