This is Zhang Jiao's Story stage and it offers a -lot- of officers plus a handy little infinite spawn of mooks that you can inflate your score with in the course of a few minutes. There are precious few maps that will allow you to rack up that many kills while also leaving enough chattel for you to reap in an attempt to level up the skill (Because, of course, not every single one and in fact most will not do it since it's based on some weird RNG), but if you are feeling particularly interested, then the Yellow Turban Conflict stage is what you want. Why would that be crazy? Well, because the way you level the skill up is by defeating officers on a map after you've attained 1,500 KOs. Level 10 at minimum, though you'll likely want up to about 15 unless you're crazy and want to grind it up to 20. What about the other two Star weapons for each character? Well, first what you want to do is get your Fortune Hunter skill leveled up, which increases your Luck. Even if it doesn't, it's not hard to do a follow-up and basically it just means that you will not have to worry about the damage -you- do.

What this means is that a single charge attack from the Bow of Destruction (one that has the multi-wind shots at least, which are C2, 5 and 6) will straight-up murder any officer, even on Chaos difficulty provided the full attack hits them. The weapon also has multiple charge attacks that have multiple hits within it that do Wind damage which seems to take a percentage of health rather than do -damage. Cyclone breaks through an enemy's guard with charge attacks. You see, what makes the Bow of Destruction so special is that it has an element on it called Cyclone, which is at level 10. It's called the Bow of Destruction, and if there were ever a more appropriate moniker, I don't know of it. That's the easy part, because the thing you want to do is get Xiahou Yuan's Fifth Weapon first. You have to do that with every single one of the 77 characters included in the game. That is the Fifth Weapon which have unlock conditions (readily visible in the Gallery once you've beaten every single Story Mode Stage) that you have to follow on Hard Mode. Of the three Star weapons per character, only -one- of them is a guaranteed drop. How can it be so bad, you might be innocently asking? Well, it's pretty simple. Though, in all honesty, Weapon Farming might just usurp it, it's that bad. Yes, Ambition Mode in all its splendor and magnificence has been bumped to third, with Bond-grinding still likely holding first place. (Well, Sword has like four Star weapons, but you get one from Ambition Mode and it's not important) You need to collect one of each of these seven weapons for every single character in the game for the trophy which is just a Silver trophy even though it will be the actual second-most grindy thing you do in the game. These merely denote uniqueness and nothing else, because as you'll learn, each character has Four Orb weapons and Three Star weapons. Common Weapons have Orbs, but rare weapons and the Fifth Weapon for each character have Stars instead. There's actually two beyond the Elemental Shift, and its all about rarity. The weapons all have an element attached to them that is either Heaven, Earth or Man, which recalls to DW6's Standard, Skill and Strength types of weapons, though they don't have the same sort of effects and really I guess the only similarity is that they all shared red, green and blue and I swear I was going somewhere with that, but forgot.Īnyway, that's -one- of the categories of the weapons, though. That's not as bad a thing as that comparison might lead you to believe, however, so don't get ahead of me. You see, the whole weapon system in Dynasty Warriors 8 got a bit of an overhaul that more or less makes it a very different beast from the games before it except, in a sense, Dynasty Warriors 6.

We're going to cover the Herculean amount of effort that goes into a single trophy called Weapon Collector that, as you might have guessed, tasks you with collecting all the weapons in the game. Going with the theme of the last Dynasty Warriors 8 post, we're going to talk about trophies. Because, I mean, I'm gonna keep doing it. I'm aware that most of you are probably not as interested in Dynasty Warriors or really any flavor of game KOEI releases as I am, but I hope the deluge of content over the games is not off-putting. So, whatever, I can do it and I like to do it, so that's what I'm going to do. It seems like every day brings a brand new topic about the game that I can take and pull apart until I can present it in possibly the most long-winded way possible, and it's something that I've found I can't really do for many other things. I'm constantly amazed, as I'm sure you all are, at just how much I can talk about a single Dynasty Warriors game as I'm playing it and indeed for a time thereafter.
