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 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 with battle experience, influenced by factors beyond enemy kills. Frequent use of Battle Arts (special abilities), diverse combo utilization (avoiding repetitive basic attacks), and experimentation with different attack strategies all contribute to faster proficiency gains.

Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank advancement. Leveling up enhances health, attack power, defense, and unlocks additional benefits at specific ranks, 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. Mastering all nine is key to reaching maximum rank. Each weapon boasts unique properties and ideal combat scenarios. Strategic weapon switching during battles ensures balanced experience point distribution across your arsenal. Embrace experimentation to maximize rewards.
