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 demands a high rank, so boosting your level is crucial. This guide explains how.

Your rank functions as your in-game level. Starting at rank one, you progress by completing battles. However, simply defeating enemies isn't enough; weapon proficiency is key.

Initially, you'll possess a single level 1 weapon (a sword). Proficiency increases through combat, influenced by:

  • Enemy Defeats: The number of enemies vanquished with a particular weapon.
  • Battle Arts Usage: Frequent use of special abilities tied to each weapon type.
  • Combo Variety: Employing diverse attack combinations beyond basic sequences. Experimentation is rewarded!

Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank advancement. Leveling up enhances health, attack power, defense, and other bonuses at specific intervals, such as increased Bravery (allowing more Battle Arts usage) and access to new skill trees for further stat boosts.

While you begin with a sword, nine distinct weapons await discovery throughout your journey through ancient China. Mastering all nine is essential for achieving maximum rank. Each weapon possesses unique properties, making strategic switching beneficial during battles to maximize experience point gains for each.

The more you experiment with Dynasty Warriors: Origins' mechanics, the faster you'll level up.
