In the thrilling world of *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, your rank—or level—can be the deciding factor in epic battles, especially when facing formidable foes like Lu Bu. Elevating your rank is essential for gaining the upper hand. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to achieve that coveted higher rank.
How To Rank Up In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
The ranking system in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* represents your level within the game. Starting at rank one, you'll progress by engaging in battles, which will help you level up and unlock numerous benefits.
However, climbing the ranks isn't just about defeating hordes of enemy soldiers and their commanders. It's intricately linked to your weapons. Initially, you'll wield a level 1 sword, but as you participate in more battles, your weapon proficiency will grow. This proficiency isn't solely based on the number of enemies you defeat; it also depends on how frequently you employ specific Battle Arts, or special abilities, linked to each weapon type, and the diversity of combos you use. Simply sticking to basic three or four-hit combos won't cut it. Instead, mix up your attacks and experiment with different strategies to maximize your rewards.

As your weapon proficiency improves, so will your rank. Advancing in rank enhances your health, attack power, and defense, and at certain milestones, you'll gain boosts like increased Bravery, enabling you to utilize more Battle Arts, and access to new skill trees to further enhance your stats.
While you begin with a sword, the journey through ancient China offers nine different weapons to master. Each weapon has unique properties and is suited to specific situations, so don't hesitate to switch weapons mid-battle to adapt and ensure each weapon gains substantial experience points. The more you engage with *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*' mechanics, the greater your rewards will be. This is the key to maximizing your rank in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*.
*Dynasty Warriors: Origins* is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
