Leveling Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins: A Guide to Increasing Your Rank
In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, your rank directly impacts your success in battle. Facing formidable foes like Lu Bu requires a high rank, so boosting your level is crucial. This guide explains how to achieve this.
Your rank functions as your in-game level. Starting at rank one, you progress by completing battles. However, simply defeating enemies isn't enough. Rank progression is intrinsically linked to weapon proficiency.
Initially, you wield a single level 1 weapon (a sword). Proficiency increases with battle experience, influenced by factors beyond raw enemy kills. Frequent use of Battle Arts (special abilities), diverse combo utilization (avoiding repetitive basic attacks), and experimentation with different attack styles all contribute to increased proficiency.
Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank increases. Leveling up boosts health, attack power, defense, and unlocks additional benefits at specific rank milestones. These bonuses include increased Bravery (allowing more Battle Art usage) and access to new skill trees for further stat enhancements.
While you begin with a sword, nine distinct weapon types await discovery throughout your journey through ancient China. Mastering all nine is key to reaching maximum rank. Each weapon possesses unique properties and tactical advantages, encouraging strategic weapon switching during battles to maximize experience point gains for each.
Experimentation is rewarded in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. The more you explore its mechanics, the faster your rank will climb.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
