Boost Dynasty Warriors: Origins Ranking

Author : Riley Mar 13,2025

In the action-packed world of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, your rank—essentially your level—is key to success. A higher rank means a significant advantage in battles against formidable foes like Lu Bu. So, how do you climb the ranks and become an unstoppable force? Let's dive in.

Your journey begins at rank one. Progressing involves more than just mowing down countless enemy soldiers and commanders. Your rank is intrinsically linked to your weapon proficiency. You start with a level 1 sword, but as you battle, your skill with that weapon increases. This isn't solely about the number of enemies defeated; it's about mastering your weapon. Experiment with different Battle Arts (special abilities), explore diverse combo attacks, and move beyond basic three- or four-hit sequences. The more creatively you fight, the faster your proficiency grows.

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

While you begin with a single sword, nine distinct weapons await discovery throughout your adventure in ancient China. Mastering all nine is the key to achieving maximum rank. Each weapon possesses unique properties and shines in specific situations. Don't hesitate to switch weapons mid-battle to optimize your performance and ensure balanced experience point gains across all your weapons. Experimentation is rewarded in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.

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