Increase your Rank Level by raising Weapon Proficiency in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Learn how to increase Rank Level and what increasing Rank Level unlocks in this guide!

How to Increase Rank Level

Increase Proficiency on All Weapons

The only way to increase your Rank Level is by upgrading all of your weapon's Proficiency through repeated use in battle. Each yellow Proficiency Point unlocked contributes to boosting your Rank Level, with each milestone requiring a specific level to unlock.

How to Raise Proficiency

Prioritize New Weapons

To level up your Rank Level more efficiently, equip new weapons with lower Proficiency since they require less EXP to unlock Proficiency Points. This strategy allows you to raise your Rank Level faster while progressing through the game.

What Does Increasing Rank Level Do?

Raise Stats

Every increase in Rank Level leads to a boost in your Health, Attack, and Defense stats, which makes you stronger for battles to come.

Unlock Skill Panels

Skill Panels with their individual Skill Trees also become available at certain Rank Level milestones. These let you spend Skill Points to unlock valuable combat abilities that can enhance your stats or grant you passive in-combat skills, and more.
