Leveling Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins: A Guide to Mastering the Ranks

In the action RPG Dynasty Warriors: Origins, your rank, essentially your in-game level, is crucial for success, especially against formidable foes like Lu Bu. This guide details how to effectively increase your rank.

Your rank isn't simply about defeating enemies. It's directly tied to weapon proficiency. You begin with a level 1 sword. Proficiency increases with enemy kills, but also through strategic combat: utilizing various Battle Arts (special abilities), experimenting with diverse combo attacks (beyond basic sequences), and switching weapons to maximize experience gain for each weapon type. Variety is key to faster progression.

Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank increases. Leveling up boosts health, attack power, defense, and unlocks additional perks at specific rank milestones. These include increased Bravery (allowing more Battle Art usage) and access to new skill trees for further stat enhancements.

While you start with a sword, nine unique weapons await discovery throughout your journey through ancient China. Mastering all nine is the path to maximum rank. Each weapon possesses unique properties, making mid-battle switching advantageous for both combat effectiveness and balanced experience point distribution across all your weapons. Experimentation is rewarded.

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