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. To stand a chance against such legendary enemies, you'll need to elevate your rank. Here’s how to do it effectively.

How To Rank Up In Dynasty Warriors: Origins

The ranking system in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* serves as your progression level within the game. Starting at rank one, you'll advance by engaging in and completing battles, unlocking various perks along the way.

However, climbing the ranks isn't just about defeating hordes of enemies and their commanders. Your rank is intricately linked to your weapons. Initially, you'll wield a level 1 sword, but as you immerse yourself in more battles, your weapon proficiency will grow. This proficiency is influenced not only by the number of enemies you vanquish but also by how often you deploy specific Battle Arts—special abilities unique to each weapon—and the diversity of combos you use. Instead of sticking to basic three or four-hit combos, try experimenting with different attack strategies to maximize your rewards.

As your weapon proficiency improves, your rank will naturally follow suit. Advancing in rank boosts your health, attack power, and defense, along with other bonuses at specific milestones. These include increases in Bravery, which allows you to access more Battle Arts, and the unlocking of new skill trees to further enhance your stats.

While you begin with just a sword, your journey through ancient China will introduce you to a total of nine weapons. Mastering all nine is essential to reaching the highest rank. Each weapon boasts unique properties suited for various combat situations, so don't hesitate to switch weapons mid-battle to optimize your performance and ensure each weapon gains ample experience points. The more you explore and experiment with the mechanics of *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, the greater your rewards will be. That's the key to increasing your rank.

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