Qin Shi Huang

Ying Zheng (259–210 BC) became the first emperor in the long story of China. Across a single decade, from 230 to 221 BC, he swallowed the six rival states of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi, ending nearly five centuries of fractured warlords and founding the Qin dynasty — the first unified realm of its kind. As sovereign he abolished the old feudal grants and ruled through appointed commanderies, standardizing the written script, weights, measures, and coinage so that distant provinces could finally speak as one. He drove back the northern Xiongnu and joined the scattered ramparts of Yan, Zhao, and Qin into a single Great Wall; in the south he opened the Lingqu canal to carry his armies. The machinery of central rule he forged would shape Chinese governance for two thousand years to come.

Qin Shi Huang marches as Infantry, an anchoring presence in the front line drawn from the East Asia. He fights as a tank and support — the unbreakable wall behind which allies advance — favoring heavy armor as he stands at the head of the formation. His active strike, "Heroic Spirit," carries him into the press of melee with the swagger of a young conqueror, while his ultimate, "Qin Destroys Six States," unleashes the image of empires falling in line. Above all he is a guardian: where he plants his banner, a great shield rises to shelter every soldier who rallies to his standard.
