In the adrenaline-pumping action RPG *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, your rank—or level—can be the deciding factor in epic battles against formidable foes like Lu Bu. To stand a chance against such legendary opponents, it's crucial to elevate your rank. Here's how you can achieve that.
How To Rank Up In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
In *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, your rank serves as your level within the game. You begin at rank one, and as you conquer more battles, you'll advance and unlock numerous beneficial perks.
However, increasing your rank isn't just about mowing down enemy soldiers and their commanders. It's intimately linked to your weapon proficiency. Initially, you'll wield a level 1 sword, but as you engage in more battles, your skill with this weapon will grow. Your proficiency isn't solely determined by the number of enemies defeated; it also depends on your use of specific Battle Arts, or special abilities tied to each weapon type, and the diversity of your attack combos. Don't stick to simple three or four-hit sequences; instead, experiment with various attack strategies to reap greater rewards.

As your weapon proficiency improves, so too will your rank. Advancing in rank not only boosts your health, attack power, and defense but also grants additional bonuses at certain milestones, such as increased Bravery, allowing for more Battle Arts usage, and access to new skill trees for further stat enhancement.
Starting with a sword, you'll eventually discover nine different weapons throughout your journey in ancient China. Mastering all nine is essential to reaching the highest rank. Each weapon possesses unique attributes and is suited to specific combat situations. Feel free to switch weapons during battle to adapt to your needs and ensure each weapon gains valuable experience points. The more you explore and experiment with *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* mechanics, the more you'll be rewarded, propelling your rank to new heights.
*Dynasty Warriors: Origins* is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, ready for you to embark on your quest to dominate the battlefield.
