by Caleb Apr 01,2025

In the action-packed world of *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, your rank—or level—can be the deciding factor in epic battles against formidable foes like Lu Bu. If you're aiming to stand toe-to-toe with these legends, you'll need to boost your rank. Here's how you can achieve that.

How to Rank Up in Dynasty Warriors: Origins

The ranking system in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* represents your level within the game. You begin at rank one, and as you conquer more battles, you'll level up, unlocking a variety of perks along the way.

However, increasing your rank goes beyond simply defeating hordes of enemy soldiers and their commanders. Your rank is intricately linked to your weapons. Initially, you'll wield a level 1 sword, but as you engage in more battles, your proficiency with this weapon will grow. Your proficiency isn't solely based on the number of enemies you defeat; it's also influenced by your use of specific Battle Arts, or special abilities, unique to each weapon type, and the diversity of combos you employ. Don't stick to the same old three or four-hit combos—mix it up and experiment with different attack strategies to earn greater rewards.

As your weapon proficiency improves, your rank will naturally follow suit. Advancing in rank boosts your health, attack power, and defense. Additionally, at certain milestones, you'll see increases in your Bravery, allowing you to utilize more Battle Arts, and unlock new skill trees to further enhance your stats.

While you start with just a sword, your journey through ancient China offers the chance to acquire nine different weapons. Mastering all nine is essential for reaching the highest rank. Each weapon has unique properties and is suited for specific combat scenarios. Don't hesitate to switch weapons during battles to adapt to your needs and maximize experience points for each weapon. The more you explore and experiment with *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*' mechanics, the more you'll be rewarded.

That's the key to elevating your rank in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.

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