New battle Arts for all weapons

Explore new Battle Arts for every weapon in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, including Final Eclipse and Sublime Slash. Learn their costs and effects.

Sword

• Galewing Dance: Offers AoE damage for 1 cost, but its replacement slot is unclear.
• Final Eclipse: A top-tier BA for one-on-one combat that cannot be blocked or evaded. Unlock this under the new Skill tree.

Spear

• Well of Courage: Significantly speeds up spear swings when powered up, allowing for rapid attacks in crowds. It has a very high cost, competing with Dragon Flash, but can be used before entering Rage mode for massive damage.

Wheels

• Dawn's Halo: A BA that the source author did not utilize due to personal difficulty with the weapon.

Podao

• Sublime Slash: A powerful Ultimate BA that deals massive damage and looks impressive, intended to replace previous large BAs like Ice Luan.

Staff

• Gaze of the Tiger: Reduces the cost of BA bravery by 1 for a period. Its activation cost is 4 (or 5 without Divine of Heaven), which is considered high given the staff's already low bravery BAs, potentially encouraging chaining of 1-2 cost BAs.

Twin Pikes

• Stormrend: An effective AoE clearing BA, but its cost is deemed too high, potentially reducing the usage of Sky Sunder.

Lance

• Charging Palm Blast: A useful addition for the Lance, filling a gap in its lack of good chaser BAs.

Crescent Blade

• Sp. Dragonquake: Considered a weak BA with less range than Power Shot and a cost of 2, possibly intended to interrupt Red attacks.

Halberd

• Vengeful Heart: A counter-attack BA that functions similarly to Valiant Steed Blitz but requires waiting for enemy hits. It is considered less useful than VSB due to its similar cost and lack of active combo extension potential.

Gauntlet

• Savage Beast Strike: A versatile BA with different moves based on stance: a defensive kick (Tiger), a ground AoE shockwave (Dragon), long-range Chi blades for chasing (Serpent), and combo-extending aerial kicks (Phoenix). It requires quick stance changes for optimal use and may replace Stone Strike Blast.
