Medieval Dynasty: Master Weapon Attributes, Gems, and Items

AntMag.NET

This guide details the best weapon forge attributes, recommended accessories and gems, and essential items for optimizing your gameplay in Medieval Dynasty. Understanding these elements can significantly impact your combat effectiveness and survivability.

Weapon Forge Attributes

When forging weapons, aim for a combination of attributes to maximize your combat potential. While a weapon can have up to 6 attributes, not all can be obtained on a single weapon. Prioritize based on your playstyle and weapon type.

Generally Useful Attributes:

Damage to Officer +10%
Damage +10%, Defense -5%
Bravery Gain +10% (except for Lance)
Extends Parry/Perfect Evade Input Window
Strong Attack Damage +10% or Charge Strong Attack Damage +15% (weapon dependent)
Assault Damage +10%
Wushu Damage +10% (Fortitude Damage)
Charge Time -33%
Battle Arts Damage +10%
Increase Weapon Drop Rate
+30% Attack after Perfect Evade (lasts ~5 seconds)

Prioritization Notes:

Attributes 1-3 are generally always useful (with exception for 3 on Lance).
The extended parry window (Attribute 4) is crucial for consistent parrying.
Charge attack damage bonuses (Attribute 5) are highly beneficial for specific weapons like the Podao.
Wushu damage (Attribute 7) is useful in most situations.
Assault damage (Attribute 6) is good for weapons that lack strong multi-target moves, like the Sword or Pole.
Weapon drop rate (Attribute 10) is essential for farming weapons but may not be needed on all weapons. Consider designating one weapon for farming.

The choice of attributes depends on the weapon and your personal preference. Specific weapon setups will be detailed in their respective sections.

Recommended Accessories and Gems

Gems can be swapped during stages to adapt to different combat scenarios.

Vortex Gem: Ideal for small skirmishes and duels, especially with weapons that have easy air combos, due to its strong 40% extra damage bonus.
Wellspring Gem: Recommended for large armies. While it requires careful play to avoid taking excessive damage, it heals you while you defeat numerous peons.
Oblivion Gem: A good choice if you are confident in your defensive skills and don't need the healing from Wellspring. It increases weapon range, hitting more enemies and thus boosting Bravery and Musou gauge accumulation.

Recommended Items

Items can significantly reduce game difficulty, especially in Ultimate Challenge missions. You have 3 additional item slots besides your meat buns.

End-Game Setup: Divine Turtle Shell (upgrade to Chimera Shell later) is recommended for defense. For offensive boosts, the Disc of Huanglong (reduces Bravery requirement for Battle Arts) is a permanent end-game equip once unlocked by achieving level 3 peace in all provinces.
Other Useful Items:
- Iron Arm Guards (for increased defense).
- Red Dragon's Talon (increases Musou gauge accumulation) or Dragon Spleen (Lance only).
- Disc of Huanglong (reduces Bravery requirement for Battle Arts - always equip when obtained).
- Lion Fang (+15% base attack, less effective as it doesn't scale with weapon attack).

Item Usage Notes:

Attack-boosting accessories are less effective as they only scale off base attack, not total attack including weapons.
Red Dragon Talon is obtained in Chapter 5.
Disc of Huanglong is unlocked by achieving level 3 peace in all provinces.
The combination of Disc of Huanglong and Chimera Shell is a strong end-game setup for most weapons, providing significant offensive and defensive boosts.

General Item Recommendations for Ultimate Challenges

Prioritize items that increase damage output for timed challenges.

General Use: 2x Stamina Potion/Pills/Powder + Strength Potion (cheap and effective).
Timing Restrictive Challenges: Stamina Potion, Treatise of Tactics, and Musou Bond/Panacea. Consider using both Musou Bond and Panacea, omitting Stamina Potion.

Mix and match items to find what works best for your playstyle and specific challenges.
