How To Increase Ranks In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, your rank is crucial for overcoming formidable foes like Lu Bu. Elevating your rank not only boosts your chances of victory in major battles but also enhances your overall gameplay experience. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to increase your rank effectively.

How to Rank Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, your rank essentially represents your level within the game. Starting at rank one, you'll progress by engaging in and completing battles, which will ultimately lead to leveling up and unlocking various perks.

However, increasing your rank goes beyond merely defeating numerous enemy soldiers and their commanders. It's intricately linked to your weapons. Initially, you'll have just one weapon at level 1 – a sword. As you participate in more battles, your proficiency with this weapon will grow. Your proficiency is influenced not only by the number of enemies you defeat but also by how frequently you employ specific Battle Arts or special abilities associated with each weapon type. Additionally, varying your combat combos, rather than sticking to simple three or four-hit sequences, will also contribute to your proficiency. Therefore, experimenting with different attack strategies will be rewarded, helping you advance.

As your weapon proficiency increases over time, so too will your rank. Each rank increase comes with benefits such as boosts to your health, attack power, and defense. At certain milestones, you'll also see increases in your Bravery, allowing you to utilize more Battle Arts, and unlock new skill trees to further enhance your stats.

While you begin with a sword, your journey through ancient China will introduce you to a total of nine weapons. Mastering all nine is essential to reaching the maximum rank. Each weapon has unique properties and is suited to different combat scenarios. Switching weapons during battles can help you adapt to various situations and ensure each weapon gains substantial experience points. The more you engage with *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*' mechanics and experiment, the more you'll be rewarded. This is the key to increasing your rank in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.

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