How To Increase Ranks In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Leveling Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins: A Guide to Increasing Your Rank

In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, your rank directly impacts your battlefield success. Facing formidable foes like Lu Bu requires a high rank, so boosting your level is crucial. This guide explains how.

Your rank acts 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 have a single level 1 weapon (a sword). Proficiency increases through combat, but it's not just about enemy kills. Using varied Battle Arts (special abilities), experimenting with different combo attacks (beyond basic three or four-hit sequences), and utilizing diverse weapon types all contribute to proficiency gains. Experimentation is rewarded.

Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank increases. Leveling up boosts health, attack power, defense, and unlocks other bonuses. These include increased Bravery (allowing more Battle Art usage) and access to 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 reaching maximum rank. Each weapon possesses distinct properties and ideal combat scenarios, encouraging strategic weapon switching during battles to maximize experience point gains for each. The more you explore Dynasty Warriors: Origins' mechanics, the faster you'll progress.

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