5. Switch weapons strategically

Now there are a variety of weapons that you can use in Dynasty Warriors Origins. You can also change them in mid-battle against your enemies to provide you an extra edge.

For example, employ the Wheels to deal with a large number of foes because of their vast strike radius. Switching weapons also improves your competence, unlocks new skills, and raises your Rank, which influences fight difficulty. Just like that, there might be a situation where swords might be good but somewhere, you have to rely on spears. Try to use more weapons in the game and combat.

4. Master the Spear

Spear is my personal favorite weapon and I love using it every game, if it’s available. Even the characters that use spears are some of my favorites. In Dynasty Warriors Origins, if you are having a problem parrying the opponent’s attacks, then use a spear weapon.

Its signature Battle Arts, “Piercing Vengeance,” automatically parries and counterattacks, making it easier to stun enemies and deplete their Fortitude Bar. This is critical for launching powerful assaults. This weapon is even better to fight many enemies at the same time which you will experience a lot in this game.

3. Aim for High KO counts

In Dynasty Warriors Origins, every 100 knockout will give you a skill point which is very important for your prowess. You can unlock abilities, and enhance your stats like defense, HP and more.

To rack up these points, focus on mowing down foot soldiers before taking on commanders. Weapons like Podao, Wheels, and Spears are excellent for crowd control.

2. Monitor the Battlefield Map

The map is important in every game and especially in the RPG & open world games. In Dynasty Warriors Origins, the battlefield map might change the way you like to play and construct your strategies.

The minimap will help you comprehend the flow of the battle. Keep a lookout for allies in distress, as signaled by water drops, and move to help them. Responding to your forces’ needs can swing the battle in your favor.

1. Special Attacks for staggering

When enemy commanders glow gold, it’s time to utilize Special Attacks, which can stun them, breaking their stance and allowing for a speedy defeat. Combining parry with Special Attacks is a powerful approach against these mini-bosses.

Use these tips to get better and more comfortable with the combat in Dynasty Warriors Origins. The early access will start soon and the official global launch is on January 17, 2025. I am pretty excited to play this game and have a legendary battle against Lu Bu.
