How To Increase Ranks In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Leveling Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins: A Comprehensive Guide

In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, your rank directly impacts your success in battle. Facing formidable foes like Lu Bu requires a high rank, achieved through more than just sheer combat prowess. This guide details the path to rank ascension.

Your rank, essentially your in-game level, starts at one. Progressing involves more than simply defeating enemies; it's intrinsically linked to weapon proficiency. Initially, you wield a single level 1 sword. However, consistent combat and strategic weapon use are key.

Weapon proficiency increases with enemy defeats, but also through diverse combat techniques. Experimentation is rewarded. Utilize a variety of Battle Arts (special abilities) and combos, rather than relying solely on basic attacks. This diverse approach significantly boosts your weapon's experience gain.

Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank increases. Each rank-up grants stat boosts: health, attack power, defense, and, at specific intervals, Bravery (enhancing Battle Arts usage) and access to new skill trees for further stat enhancements.

While you begin with a sword, nine distinct weapon types await mastery throughout your journey through ancient China. Each weapon possesses unique attributes and optimal combat scenarios. Switching weapons mid-battle allows for balanced experience distribution across all your weapons, maximizing your overall rank progression. Experimentation is key to unlocking the game's full potential and achieving maximum rank.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
