In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you'll primarily navigate the game as the Wanderer, embarking on a quest to restore peace to the land. Throughout your journey, you'll encounter various choices in the main storyline, and regardless of the paths you choose, you'll often have companions by your side in battles.
These companions not only fight alongside you but can also be controlled by you at certain times. They are exceptionally powerful, often outmatching the Wanderer's abilities even with his upgrades. Here's how you can switch characters to take advantage of their strength.
How To Switch Characters In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
Switching to control a companion is only possible during battles where you have one accompanying you. Before the battle, during the war council, you'll see an option to select your companion. You can opt to go into battle alone, but remember, you won't be able to switch to a companion mid-fight if you choose this.
Once the battle starts, you'll notice your companion's health bar positioned at the bottom right of the screen, just above your own. Below this, you'll find a blue bar similar to your Musou bar. This bar fills up as you engage in combat, with actions like:
- Parrying attacks
- Perfect dodging
- Assaulting Officers
- Using Weapon Arts
Every combat action contributes to filling this bar, albeit at a slower pace.
When the blue bar is fully charged, a "Change Character" button will appear next to it. To switch characters, press and hold this button for about a second. This action is performed using the View Button on Xbox, C on PC, or the Touchpad on PlayStation.
Playing As Other Characters In Dynasty Warriors: Origins
It's advisable to switch to another character during intense battles, as companions are exceptionally potent. However, your control over them lasts only about a minute, indicated by the blue bar which starts to drain once you switch. The character you switch to will have full Bravery and a suite of combat arts ready for you to utilize effectively.
Upon switching, your new character will launch a powerful attack, so aim at an enemy to maximize impact. Additionally, your companion will have their own Musou and health bars, fully charged and ready for you to unleash their special attack to wreak havoc on your foes.
