During the stage, the conditions of the battle will continually change. It is important to pay attention to the orders of the strategist and follow the overall strategy while moving in unison with the rest of your army.
Playing Through the Stage
First, try to achieve the stage targets!You should first try to complete the stage targets. The amount of experience you can receive for achieving the stage targets is large, so they can have a large effect on your officer’s development.
◆Incomplete ◆Completed ◆Failed
By attacking the enemy, your Renbu Gauge will fill, and when it is full, your Renbu Rank will rise. (If you don't attack, it will decrease.) As your Renbu Rank increases, your attacks will become more powerful and you will be able to use even more attacks. Additionally, if you can continually attack the enemy without taking damage yourself, then the number of Renbu attacks will rise. As the number of Renbu attacks rises, it will be easier to fill up the Renbu Gauge, so it is important to try and keep up your Renbu attacks as much as possible.
Raise your Renbu Rank!
Once you reach the rank of Infinite Renbu, you can also get elemental damage (►P.36) added to your Normal attacks!
Your Renbu Gauge will fill as you attack the enemy
Once it reaches full... Your Renbu Rank will increase by 1 and the gauge will return to 0.
Are you too focused on your own movements when fighting battles? By simply studying your enemy for the following signs, it will make a large difference in how effective a fighter you are.
Know your enemy
If you think you’re stuck and can’t proceed any further, be sure to check your surroundings. In addition to traversing the battlefield, you can also move using the following. Use these to your advantage in battle and to work your way around the enemy.
Use the terrain to your advantage
When in the water, you can swim. However, you will be unable to attack.
By pressing [M] when near a ladder, you can climb and descend ladders.
You can also jump down from cliffs and other high elevation points.
Bannermen (soldiers holding flags) have the ability to raise the morale of allied troops. Once every several seconds, they will approach allied troops and officers and raise their abilities. The ability raised will be one of the following: Attack x 2, Defense x 2 or Speed Up.

Units & Independent OfficersAll officers and troops work in units. If the officer leading a unit is defeated, then that unit’s troops will be forced to retreat. Additionally, officers assigned to armies may wish to go out on their own and decide to separate from their current unit. If this happens, then the strength of their previous unit will decrease. This can have a great effect on the battle, so be sure to keep an eye on the battle messages.
A new unit has been formed. What effect will this have on the battle?
Occupy As Many Bases As PossibleBy occupying bases, you will increase the number of locations producing recovery items, as well as increasing the number of allied soldiers and increasing allied morale. First, you should check who is controlling the bases on the map before going to battle. Blue bases are controlled by your allies and red ones are controlled by the enemy.
WAYS TO DECREASE A BASE’S DURABILITY●It will decrease by 1 for each enemy soldier you defeat within the base●It will decrease by 20 for each Corporal you defeat●The base will be captured automatically if you defeat the Guard Captain●If you defeat an enemy officer within the base, then it will decrease by the number of soldiers
within that officer’s unit* Guard Captains will not appear until the durability of the base reaches 100 or lower. Also, they will not appear in smaller
bases.
Within your own bases, when you take a recovery item, it will be replaced after a set amount of time. If it does not replenish, then it may be due to one of the following reasons.●Did you just pick up an item?●Are you in a base like a watchpost that does not have recovery
items?
Unable to Recover?
There are two ways to recover your life points.
Recovering life
Return to base and recover your life points.
Obtain a Recovery Item Within a BaseBy returning to one of your bases, you can obtain a recovery item. The item will automatically replenish itself after a set period of time. Additionally, the larger the size of the base, the better the quality of the item that will appear. However, if an enemy officer has infiltrated the base, then only Meat Buns will appear.
Try and save the urns for when you really need them.
Break Urns to Obtain Recovery ItemsBy breaking the urns that are set throughout the stage, you may find some recovery items within them. Urns are often set near checkpoints as well as the edges of the stage.
Entering the BaseNormally, the gates to the enemy bases are closed. By attacking the gates, the Gate Gauge will decrease and when it reaches empty, the gate will be destroyed and you can enter the base. However, there are some gates like Hu Lao Gate, that are essentially impervious to your attack and will require you to use rams to break down (see more on sieges on Pg. 28).Additionally, if you enter the base by jumping into it from a higher elevation, you can perform a Surprise Attack. If you successfully surprise the enemy, then they will be confused and their defense will be lowered temporarily.
Occupying the BaseWhen the durability of the enemy base reaches 0, then the base will be captured.

Siege BattlesIn certain stages such as The Battle of Hu Lao Gate, there will be Siege Battles where you need to break down a castle gate. Sieges begin when the attacking army arrives at the castle gate. Even if you attack the gate directly, it will be impossible to destroy it. When the Siege Battle begins, allied Engineers will appear before the gate and begin building the siege weapons. You will be responsible for protecting the allied engineers and siege weapons from the enemy.
Protect the siege weapons from the enemy!
You have a chance to gain experience points when encircled!
Encircled BattlesWhen officers are fighting, or when you charge ahead, you can be surrounded by a group of enemy soldiers. The soldiers will stand by and watch, but if an enemy officer approaches, he will attack you. Be sure not to be careless when approaching them. While you are encircled, enemy officers are stronger than normal. However, if you defeat them, then you will receive even more experience points than usual.
These are items that appear during the stage. Depending on the type of item, the way in which it appears will differ. Once they appear, they will remain for only a limited period of time, so be sure to pick them up as quickly as possible.
Items
Bannermen may drop an item when defeated.

Your officer can hold up to 8 weapons. If you already have 8 weapons, then you must dispose of a weapon if you wish to pick a new one.
Warhorse ExperienceWhen you select a warhorse to take into battle with you, your horse’s experience points will increase depending on your number of K.O.s and experience points. The warhorses have levels, abilities, elemental affinities and special characteristics (►P.37). Once your warhorse’s experience points have exceeded a certain amount, the horse’s level will increase. When the horse’s level increases, each of its abilities will also rise. It may also gain special characteristics or elemental affinities.
Obtaining WarhorsesAny warhorses you obtained during the stage will be displayed. Warhorses can be used by any officer. You can own up to 8 warhorses. If you already own 8 warhorses, then you must dismiss one in order to obtain the new one.
By fulfilling certain conditions within the game, the number of officers you are able to choose from will increase. There are some officers that you can unlock that can be used in all of the game modes, as well as some officers that you can only use in the Free or Challenge Modes.
