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 acts as your in-game level. Starting at rank one, you progress by completing battles. However, simply defeating enemies isn't enough; your weapon proficiency is key. Initially, you'll have a single level 1 weapon (a sword). Proficiency increases with combat, influenced by:

  • The number of enemies defeated.
  • Frequent use of Battle Arts (special abilities).
  • Utilizing diverse combo attacks, rather than relying solely on basic combos. Experimentation is rewarded!

Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank increases. Leveling up enhances health, attack power, defense, and unlocks other benefits at specific ranks, such as increased Bravery (allowing more Battle Arts) and new skill trees for further stat improvements.

While you begin with a sword, nine unique weapons await discovery throughout your journey through ancient China. Mastering all nine is essential for achieving maximum rank. Each weapon possesses unique properties and ideal combat scenarios. Switching weapons mid-battle allows for balanced experience gain across all your arsenal. Embrace experimentation to maximize rewards.

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