Quick Links
In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you primarily play as the Wanderer, striving for peace. The main storyline presents numerous choices, and companions frequently join you in battle.
These companions fight alongside you, but you can occasionally control them. They are exceptionally powerful, often surpassing the Wanderer in combat effectiveness, even with his upgrades. Here's how to switch characters:
How To Switch Characters In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Character switching is only possible during battles where you have a companion. Before a battle, the war council menu will list your companion as the final option; you can choose to fight alone, but not directly switch to a companion. Once the battle begins, your companion's health bar appears below yours in the bottom right corner.
Below their health bar is a blue meter, similar to your Musou gauge. This fills as you fight, accelerating with:
- Parrying attacks
- Perfect dodges
- Assaulting Officers
- Utilizing Weapon Arts
Most combat actions gradually fill this meter.
When your companion's blue meter is full, a "Change Character" button appears beside it. Press and hold this button for approximately one second to switch. This is the View button on Xbox, C on PC, or the Touchpad on PlayStation.
Playing As Other Characters In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Switching characters mid-battle is advantageous, given companions' strength. Control typically lasts about a minute. The blue meter, which enabled the switch, will gradually deplete, showing remaining control time. Your new character starts with full Bravery and a range of effective combat arts.
The character switch initiates with a powerful attack, so target an enemy accordingly. Your companion also retains a full Musou gauge and health bar, allowing immediate use of their special attack.
