How To Increase Ranks In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In the action-packed world of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, your rank—essentially your level—is key to battlefield success. Facing formidable foes like Lu Bu demands a high rank, and achieving that requires more than just brute force. Here's your guide to leveling up.

Leveling Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

Your journey begins at rank one. Conquering battles is crucial, but ranking up isn't solely about enemy kills. Your rank is directly linked to weapon proficiency. Starting with a level 1 sword, you'll improve your skill with that weapon through combat. This isn't just about the number of enemies defeated; it's about mastering your weapon. Experiment with different Battle Arts (special abilities), explore various combo attacks beyond basic three- or four-hit sequences, and you'll see your proficiency soar.

Increased weapon proficiency directly translates to rank increases. Each rank-up boosts your health, attack power, defense, and unlocks other bonuses. At certain ranks, you'll gain increased Bravery (allowing more Battle Arts usage) and access new skill trees for further stat enhancements.

While you begin with a sword, nine weapons await discovery across ancient China. Mastering all nine is the ultimate path to maximum rank. Each weapon possesses unique properties, making strategic switching beneficial. Experiment with different weapons during battles to ensure even experience point distribution across your arsenal. The more you explore Dynasty Warriors: Origins' mechanics, the greater your rewards.

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