Story Mode Character Walkthroughs ** ** ** ****************************************** ****************************************** In Story Mode you will fight as your selected character and follow their story. Each character has a different story. I will first lay out the character and some information on them and then I will proceed with their stages. For now I just have their stages and how to get to the next stage for either endings. Eventually I will go a little more in-depth with strategies. * My favorite characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A.

Battlefields- There are three types of battlefields. Field- The standard battlefield. Where two or three armies meet. Castle- One or two characters enters an enemy castle alone. Siege- Starts out as a Field, but then turns into a Castle. More About Castles- Castles are a bit harder since only your character enters the castle, you have no troops with you. Each level is like a maze. You have to find the right way to get to the exit, indicated by a blue dot on the map. Each castle level is, however, infested with enemy troops. They have their gates, but no Reserve Captains so they will keep coming. At most gates you can fire Ranged Attacks at the target and seal the gate, giving you 60 extra seconds. Castles also have many traps, like exploding barrels, hidden blades, barricades, etc. You should be able to avoid them as they have some warning to them. You will also rarely find any life recovery items in the castle and you'll probably only find them when you don't really need them. So don't spend too much time fighting unles you are skilled or confident you can do well. You won't have any bodyguards for castle stages. Castles also have any treasures like items or weapons. The stage castle levels are the same, so try and remember how you reached the exit for when you replay the level. The Survival Mode castle levels change. Bodyguards- During battle you can have up to 4 bodyguards to help you out during Field stages. There are 3 different sets of bodyguards to use, 4 in each. 3 sets are already created for you, but you can create your own in the Options menu. There are 6 bodyguard classes. Infantry Spear Ninja Archer Musket Lady Ninja You can name the bodyguard unit and each member name. You can use up to 8 spaces for lettering. You can change the bodyguard classes, but doing this resets their rank, experience, class, title, and abilities. Bodyguards recieve experience at the end of each stage, like officers. Their experience is determined by how many KOs they have and how many survived. Battle Tips- There are usually 5 soldiers in each unit. Taking out their leader makes the rest retreat. For example, in an archer unit, when you take out the head archer, the others will escape to the nearest gate. This is useful for clearing armies, but don't bother if you're looking for KOs. The most annoying thing about fighting an officer is when his/her troops attack you and he/she charges his/her Musou and gets full life. To avoid this, either lure the officer away or knock him out of his/her group and attack him/her alone. Take out the Reserve Captains. That stops enemy reinforcements from that gate and makes it your own for reinforcements. Use your Musou only when there are a substantial amount of people around you or when in dire need of Life. Strike Ninjas, Sky Ninjas, Wind Ninjas, and Fire Ninjas are quite annoying as they can knock you away, take out a chunk of your Life, or interrupt almost any of your attacks. Get them out of the way before attacking the other troops. Don't just go straight for the enemy commander. Defeat the other officers first for more experience. Also defeat the officers' underling officers before their commander or else they will retreat. Unless your character is fast, equip a saddle or mount a steed to travel long distances quickly. Castle stages can be annoying at times since you hardly ever find Life and when you do you probably don't even need it. If you just want to clear the stage go straight for the exit. Equip the Lantern, Guiding Doll, and Hachiman Bell to help you in Castle stages. Try to get a full Life Meter before defeating the enemy commander in a siege battle. *************** *************** ** ** ** 9. Skills ** ** ** *************** *************** The skills add extra effects to an officer's abilities or just a new ability. Right now the skills will only be listed in a skill chart. When you see one of these, >, That means you need to have the skil before it to get the next one. You can get each skill 3 times except the ones marked with an asterik, *. After each stage you clear, you will get a number of skill points relating to your experience. These skill points are used to learn a skill. Once an officer's experience is maxed out, 999999, you cannot get any more skill points to get more skills. ???- This means I have not gotten to the skill yet. ???!- This means I have not gotten to the skill, but Maxed out that character. I suggest you get Mastery and Parry for each character. A.

Weapons ** ** ** ***************** ***************** Each character has 5 different weapons. You can only have 3 in use and you can only equip one. The Attacks is how many attacks you can perform at once and the Base Attack is the attack rating of the weapon. I will show all the weapons for each character and created characters as well. The first weapon is their starting weapon, the third is their actual weapon, and the fifth is their special weapon. Weapons can also have other modifiers to them such as Defense+4 or Speed+8. When you find weapons throughout the stages keep the ones with better modifiers. Play on hard or equip the Kappa Amulet for better weapons. They can also have elemental modifiers. These will deal elemental damage using the combination for one of your elemental skills and if you have a full Musou. Keep in mind you must play on the Hard or Chaos difficulty to obtain 5th weapons.
