It’s a game that revels in the fantastical while also requiring you as a player to pay attention to what you’re doing. While some fights in the game may feel quite easy, there are quite a few boss fights in the game that can be very challenging. Whether you’re a veteran of the series or a newcomer, this guide will surely have some thing that is of use to you. If you’re ready, then let’s get started!TIPS AND TRICKSUse special attacks wiselyEvery officer in the game has their own unique special attacks which deals a lot of damage and also makes the officer invincible for a short period of time.
Velocity's a must for the power and Whirlwind-based weapons. For the weapon movesets that are already fast, such as those of the Throwing Knives or the Lightning Sword, you can temper Thorns or an elemental property in place of Velocity. 2018-1-31 See also Dynasty Warriors 7/DLC Weapons, Dynasty Warriors 7: Xtreme Legends/Weapons This is a compiled list of weapons found in Dynasty Warriors 7. Each one has its own unique set of stats and seals that sets it apart from the rest. For information on the downloadable weapons, please visit the.
However, these attacks have cool downs so make sure you use these attacks wisely as it could be the difference between life and death in some situations.Try out different languagesThe English voice-overs may seem very cartoonish to some. Given the historical setting of the game, the Chinese language immediately seems more authentic and fits perfectly with the atmosphere. Before you settle on any one language, make sure you try out the different options. It could significantly alter your experience of the game.Unlocking officersIn the game, you start off with only three officers available to play. Now, it might be a little daunting to consider that there are a total of 90 officers to unlock. Don’t worry, because all you have to do to unlock all the officers is to fully play through all 13 chapters in the game’s story mode.Notice where crafting materials spawnThe open world in the game is filled with crafting materials to collect which can help you craft better items.
Make sure you collect a lot of these crafting materials as you are wandering across the map. However, also make sure you note where some rare crafting materials can be found so that you can come back to this location in case you’re in sudden need of these materials.Experiment with different gems and weaponsGems can be used in the game to customize a weapon in certain ways. These gems can be crafted if you have the required crafting scroll. Make sure you experiement with different weapon and gem combinations on officers to find out what works best for you.Learn how to use Trigger attacksTrigger attacks allow you to send enemies flying in the air while stunning them or changing their status in some other way. These attacks also increase the damage you deal so it’s a great attack to use when you want to unleash a deadly combo against enemies. To use this attack, just hold the R1 button and then when you’re prompted, press the button shown on the screen.HOW TO FARM GOLD AND XPKilling BanditsOne of the easiest ways to farm both money and XP in this game is by hunting down packs of Bandit Chiefs and Bandit Leaders.
These particular kind of Bandit enemies offer much greater rewards than random unnamed bandits whom you see around in the game. Bandits usually travel in groups so if you spot a few of them, it’s likely that you’ll soon see more of them coming your way. Just attack them with your normal attacks, get all the goods you can find to sell them at vendors, and then wait for more bandits to come your way. One very efficient way to take down bandits is to use explosive arrows, but these are quite expensive. However, the expenses will be more than covered from the large profits you’ll make by killing the bandits.FishingYou can make quite a bit of gold in this just by fishing some rare fishes and items and then selling them. Just go over to ports such as Guangling and you will be able to catch quite a few of the Gold Yibigian.
Additionally, you can catch the Gold Bubi along with circlets at the water way near the Guangling Northern Camp. Some items can only be fished out with the Ultimate Bait, so make sure to use it in Luoyang moat to get some really expensive items which you can sell.HuntingYou can hunt animals easily from afar using bow and arrows. Since the wildlife AI isn’t very good in the game right now, you can easily kill high level animals such as the Tiger simply from shooting arrows from a decent range.
This will net you a significant amount of XP, so it’s a great way to level up your officers.CHEATS AND CHEAT CODES (UNLIMITED HEALTH, MUSOU, STAMINA)Please use the following cheats at your own discretion.

This guide was made by.Before beginning the hunt, pay attention to these things:. These can be done in Free Mode or Story Mode. You must have the difficulty on Hard or Chaos (or Ultimate for XLCE). In the Complete Edition you can use an online helper to get these weapons.
Weapons with 'Aggression: Same affinity = more attack' was changed to be called Harmony in XL and CE. In Online mode, the creator of the room must make sure to fulfill the requirements, not the partner. All obtainable 5th weapons are Heaven affinity (by default). You do not need to use the EX weapon of the character. This is vital since several weapon are harder to use than others, particularly Wing Blades, Flail Sword, and Swallow Swords. In all timed missions, you are expected to defeat any enemy officer in less than 10 seconds.
Having Red Hare, Storm Runner (DLC), or any horse whose speed is more than 220 helps. This can only be done in Free Mode. Spend some time and resources to Temper a weapon (in Ambition mode, requires Level 30 Blacksmith) with following attribute at Level 10: Cyclone, Slash, Induction, Explosion, Thorns. One more slot is up to your play style, but consider Roar which will help with gathering musou. Use a 2nd or 3rd weapon for the base. Searching for 4th weapon as base will take too long. Attack does not affect the elements effectiveness.
Having a properly Tempered weapon for each compatibility helps. Recommended are: Nine Rings Blade (Shadow Sprint), Axe (Whirlwind), Crescent Blade (Dive), and Throwing Knives (Dash). However, prioritize on getting the Throwing Knives first. 5th Weapons are mostly for collection (in Vanilla), as your tempered weapon will have more power (even 1 circle weapons properly tempered).This is mainly for the vanilla version, with the exception of Throwing Knives & Boomerang with Cyclone as it will not active multiple times due to the nerf it received in XL and CE to only activate on guarding enemies.
