Leveling Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins: A Guide to Rank Advancement

In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, your rank directly impacts your success in battle. Facing formidable foes like Lu Bu necessitates a high rank. 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 possess a single level 1 weapon (a sword). Proficiency increases through combat, influenced by enemy defeats, frequent Battle Arts usage, and diverse combo application. Avoid relying solely on basic attacks; experiment with various combat techniques for optimal results.

Increased weapon proficiency directly boosts your rank. Rank increases provide benefits such as enhanced health, attack power, defense, and, at specific intervals, increased Bravery (allowing more Battle Arts) and access to new skill trees for further stat improvements.

While starting with a sword, nine distinct weapon types await discovery throughout your journey through ancient China. Mastering all nine is key to maximizing your rank. Each weapon possesses unique properties and tactical advantages; switching weapons mid-battle is encouraged to maximize experience point gains for each. Embrace experimentation to reap the rewards. This is the path to rank mastery in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

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