Dynasty Warriors: Origins Guide | Best Weapons & Gears To Get Early

In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, taking down generals quickly is critical, especially when facing large groups of enemies. The right set of weapons, skill sets, and gear can truly make a difference at an early stage to put you right through the front of all the battles. 

Here's a guide that will help you set up a mighty setup by the time Chapter 1 comes to a close: making all possible tools available for excelling at battling and overcoming even the toughest challenges with ease.

The Build Breakdown

You first start this build-off by completing Chapter 1, which is about 12% through the story, to unlock some major items. Max out your core skills, prioritizing Whirlwind Kick, Mad Blade Rush, Ascending Slash, and Falcon Flurry.

• Falcon Flurry: Great for single-target damage, ideal against generals. Hard to hit but with too little AOE capability; the skill is perfect for duels or focused fights.
• Ascending Slash: Useful for staggering enemies and creating space when necessary. This skill ensures offense and makes for a tactical advantage.
• Mad Blade Rush: Your go-to AOE skill for crowd control. To unlock this, travel to Wu Province, across the Yellow River, to Yan Castle. Speak to a fisherman there to obtain it.
• Whirlwind Kick: Costing just 20 skill points, this ability enhances mobility and helps close gaps quickly when generals retreat.

For additional power, unlock Perfect Evade, which grants bravery when you dodge attacks, boosting your ability to sustain skill usage during prolonged battles.

Gear Recommendations

Equip the Divine Bird Wing, a major accessory that increases HP by 20%, providing essential survivability. To acquire this, quest actively in Pang until you receive it via a letter.

Add a Scorch Gem to your build. It amplifies damage after parrying, making counterattacks significantly stronger. Farm gems in G Province using an efficient route, detailed in related content.

The Weapon: General Sword

The heart of this build is the General Sword, renowned for its balance of versatility and power. It boosts both heavy and normal attacks, proving especially effective against officers. Acquire it in Bai Ping upon completing Chapter 1. A merchant sells it for 10,000 Yen. Sell old gear or complete side quests to afford it.

By following this guide, you'll gain the strength to conquer enemies and generals alike with ease. This setup ensures efficiency, control, and survivability, allowing you to dominate early in Dynasty Warriors: Origins.
