Characters with Musou Modes have three different-looking weapons while characters without stories all retain one weapon's design. The weapons' capabilities and attack strengths are randomly chosen. Weapons are no longer quality-based ranks and unique Fourth Weapons have been removed.
Also available is a special ability which allows wild animals to refrain from attacking and movement-quickening skills, such as swimming and running. With it, players can unlock many items, ranging from stat-boosting or add-on skills. Each branch is attained by gaining a level and it will be complete by level 50. Dynasty Warriors 6 sports a Skill Tree unique to all characters.If a horse is called when one is taking place, it may come into the arena, but will eventually find its way and wait in-between allied troops. However, when a duel is initiated with the player completely surrounded by enemies, the crowd of soldiers forming the boundary is more likely to attack.
Duels are usually executed when there is an equal amount of forces in one area. Officers from either side can join the fray and the duel can be prematurely ended when either duelist exits the circle formation.Īny officer defeated during the duel will immediately drop 200 EXP points. When the player gets too close to the enemy's side, a foot soldier will attack the player to get them back inside the duel the same goes for the dueling enemy. There is a chance where an opposing officer will challenge the player into a duel, then surrounding officers and foot soldiers will form a circle around the two duelists.
Volley: releases waves of arrows surrounding the player to annihilate enemies.When used when the player is at low, red health, the effects of Swift Attack increase. Swift Attack: immediately boosts the user's Renbu gauge up to the Infinite Renbu, and grants higher attack and defense power.There are five attack types - Swift Attack, Volley, Fire, True Speed, and Rockfall. The drop can usually be found off of defeated Guard Captains of bases. Special Attacks, received from the Tome item drop, allows characters to use a devastating skill to defeat enemies and help out the player.It can be done anytime by pressing or while the character is blocking. Players can do a new attack that breaks the enemies guard called a "Grapple".Like Samurai Warriors, characters can evade and perform unique attack animations when they win deadlocks.For the first time in the series, characters can perform a running attack.This has been replaced by one-button strings, such as, ,, , or, ,. For example, attack strings were previously, ,, etc. The branching attack system has been removed.Without unlocking Renbu Level 3 and Infinite, however, character can only access up to Level 2 except when he/she receives a Renbu Earring, which provides thirty seconds of Infinite Renbu. The new Renbu system allows character, even at Gauge level 1 to execute infinite attack strings. If the player does not attack for a period or takes heavy damage, the Renbu Gauge will decrease. As the gauge grows higher, attacks will have longer range and will become more powerful. The level of the gauge ranges from One, Two, Three, and Infinite. However, in this game, a meter called the "Renbu Gauge", fills as the player's character builds up more combos. The more powerful weapons would allow more attacks. In previous ports, the number of attacks available to use were affected by the level and quality of the wielded weapon. A new system takes place of the old attack chains, called Renbu. As the game has been rebuilt from scratch by Koei, many new features are introduced in the game while some have been removed.
