Step by step, the Dynasty Warriors series has dared to absorb more and more light RPG elements. Mind you, I can’t see the main Musou franchise in the market ever giving us a full-blown ARPG, but it’s been nice to see the simple hack-and-slash series evolve into something else,

Here are all the gems that you can get in Dynasty Warriors Origins, their abilities, and the best ones to use in different situations.

Origins has a huge arsenal of attacks. With ten different weapons, a massive list of Battle Arts, and of course devastating Musou Attacks, there's a technique for every conceivable situation. Who can you trust to have your back on the battlefields of the Three Kingdoms?

The Spear is another solid early-game weapon that falls off a bit once you start getting to the harder content. If you want to charge head-first into the enemy in a single direction, these builds will let you pierce through enemy defenses while making up for the Spear’s weaknesses.

Put simply, players will need to alter the fate of certain characters if they want to unlock all of the true endings in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, although this can sometimes end up being a lot easier said than done.

All of the Dynasty Warriors Origins Bonds found so far, as well as every one of the training missions you need to complete.

Origins players will need to decide whether to side with Cao Cao, Liu Bei, or the Sun clan by the end of the game's third chapter.

Gems are a unique, upgradeable piece of equipment in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Each one has the power to significantly enhance your offensive or defensive capabilities in battle, but you can only have one equipped at a time.
