DW5XL Chaos: Da Qiao in He Fei Castle

Since I'm already on a Da Qiao high, I thought I might as well take her for another run. Like Chi Bi, He Fei is still not a hard Chaos stage as long as you're not going for a wipeout clear (aside from fighting Xu Huang + his lieutenants under the falling rocks, as well as in the flame-spitting corridors, but I Token-chained my way through those like a cheap bastard 😂)

It was a mostly smooth run aside from a few mistakes:
Sloppy disengagement at 2:09, landed right next to Wang Lang. That one could've ended quite badly, but thankfully it didn't.
Made a -200 IQ move of pressing C6 by reflex at 7:43 against Xu Zhu instead of just finishing the square string. Thankfully I was in Rage so I didn't die.
Just like in the Wei Yan's WZP run, I thought Cao Hong's troops were gonna drop a Rage Token so I wasted a whole minute there at 8:30, and paid for it with 2 meat buns' worth of health.

I'm getting better at playing her though, that's for sure. I used to rate her as the second-best female character in this game only after Xing Cai, and my second favorite only after Xing Cai, which still holds true. Compared to Xing Cai, Da Qiao has
+ Token-chaining, since her 4th weapon is actually GOOD
+ Better base musou damage thanks to her Heavy weapon compatibility
- Worse freezing options
- Slightly lower safety since her S6 disengagement tactic can't be compared to Xing Cai's C3 + JC cancel (JC lands behind an officer in front of you so almost always guaranteed to connect, and the front flip right after always put her far away enough from the enemy to reposition)
- Neither True Musou ending is guaranteed to always connect, but I find Xing Cai's to have a slightly higher chance of connecting, close enough to 100%. Also, the dash moves her away from her original position which makes it safer than Da Qiao's stationary ending.
= Normal musou endings are equally safe: Da Qiao has 360 coverage but remains stationary longer, while Xing Cai doesn't have 360 coverage but she moves forward and recover faster.
