Haven't seen others mention this little tip, but you can jump off enemy troops heads. double tap jump while you run at them and you'll jump up and then launch yourself off their heads even higher. It's not particularly useful, but feels neat doing it.

Second tip - you're better off going alone without a companion. By picking a companion, you're depriving one of the allied routes of a strong officer as they'll follow you instead of sticking to that route - lowering the other allied officers on that routes survivability. As allies drop like flies on this stage, they need all the help they can get so better for the player to go it alone without taking one of the allies with them.

this *is* the next mainline game, the series reboot. There isn't going to be a "dw10".

Still not a fan of the uncustomizable OC donut steal MC, but otherwise I'm pretty much won over. I personally like having to babysit and rush around, but my nitpick is that there doesn't seem to be actual objectives/tasks/triggers? Like with Yuan Shu refusing to move just kind of being a thing that happens this time and it's up to you to kill the guys going after Sun Jian and nothing really comes of it, like an "oh fuck yeah bro you saved me let's go kick their asses" rally you'd usually get. Only noticed anything like that at the very end where you set up the pincer charges, until then it's basically just two armies headbutting and that feels slightly less cool than usual veneer of strategy/plot taking place.

>But due to the disconnect of how morale/courage are gained/lost, this creates a situation were the morale bar can be almost or completely blue (buffing ally off-screen performance)... but despite this the enemy officer courage is still generally higher. This creates a contradictory situation were the enemy officers are better in battle than your ally officers if the player is in view of the fighting due to high courage... but if the player leaves the area then your allies suddenly become better and mop up quickly because the morale affect kicks in instead. I actually noticed this stuff from TGS footage, and playing the demo confirms it.

I completely disagree with your take on objectives. I despise the linear scripted/objective focus of DW8, so I'm very glad Sho has went back to the early games design choice of just placing down armies and saying "there's the enemy commander, go fuckin kill him" and you do as you please to make that happen.

There's still going to be a bit of scriptedness/events, like enemy/ally reinforcements etc, but for the most part its very much down to you to decide how to proceed instead of being led by the nose like in DW8.

>>695389204
iirc this is how it was in the ps2 games, they're all kind of just optional objectives and you can do whatever you want. that's how you get hypotheticals too if I'm not mistaken.

The semi-cinematic direction is something I didn't even realize the franchise needed, but I think it is a good direction.

>>695389591
It objectively is.

The reality is, outside of the existing (small) fan base, DW is seen as a bit of a joke, "same button masher game over and over" etc. By starting the franchise again and dropping the numbering format, it will help from a marketing perspective and make it easier to improve its perception.

As long as Origins is successful (and I personally think it will be), we will definitely see a big roster game in the future. It just won't be attached to the old numbering format, i.e "DW10". I think they might start using unique names going forward instead of numbering. For example if there's a sequel to Origins covering the actual 3 kingdoms period, it could be something like "DW: Kingdoms" etc.

>>695388580
oh like monster hunter

>>695389781
I don't want it to be completely linear like recent musou games, but I do think there's a balance and the battles should at least have 1 or 2 actual events/objectives to center around, or else it's all just the same battle every time.

The KO count feels weird. There's plenty of mooks around, probably more than ever before but I never got close to 1,000. And then you switch characters and get 700 KOs in one attack.

>>695385119
Changing companion also change your starting position so depends on what you want to do, you might want to choose some companion over the other.

I'm torn on the 1 playable character (plus companions) but the game is just straight up fun to play even with that. It's scratching all the itches that I wanted it to, plus a few that I never expected to get scratched by a musou game.
I kind of hope they go back to larger cast games in the future, but the roster was probably due a trim anyway. I'm hoping this is a "new basis for the gameplay, lets get it right with 1 character and a few weapons first, and then expand it in the next one" situation.

The part with your webm, is really the only part with a BIG concentration of troops so its no surprise to see 700 ko there. you can easily hit 1k with a single companion attack there if you trigger it during the initial charge the enemy force is at its peak size.

Check out Guandu if you havent seen it, the final showdown dwarfs the showdown we get here in terms of troop count.

I'm gonna be salty if this actually released with no free mode or anything outside of story mode, considering how much they're charging. If free mode is there, it's quite odd that they haven't mentioned it yet.

The demo is really good gameplay wise but the Chinese names I have no attachment to are taking time to grow on me. Hopefully I'll get good at the demo over the next few weeks and grow attached to these characters enough to convince myself to buy it.

>>695382553
Courage does affect off-screen battles as well; if you look at the map, every officer or group of them that runs into serious trouble does so when they hit an officer with higher Courage. Sun Jian dies to Xu Rong because his Courage is higher, Liu Bei's group dies at the 2nd base they reach because all the officers have higher Courage, etc.

You can test this by rushing Hua Xiong immediately at the start and triggering his duel to kill him before he kills the last two officers that charge in, this stops your huge morale drop and you can quickly raise it to max morale for the rest of the mission. At this point your neutral Courage officers will beat the higher Courage ones and they sweep the entire map, so morale does have an impact, but you need a sizeable morale advantage for your weaker allies to overcome high Courage enemies.

>Sun Jian dies to Xu Rong because his Courage is higher, Liu Bei's group dies at the 2nd base they reach because all the officers have higher Courage, etc.

They die because ally morale starts as "losing" from the very beginning. if courage was affecting off-screen performance as well as on-screen, there'd be no reason for it to exist separately from morale as they'd be doing the same thing. The features video was quite obvious in its wording when sho says morale affects the battles "all over" the battlefield, i.e out of view ai vs ai fighting, while courage was showing on-screen aggression.

Didn't like it. It went from 1 vs 1000 to 1 vs 1 officer then bum rush the next officer or all your own officers are gonna die within a minute because of the fucking retarded morale system. Your army has low morale? Oh are those 5 ally officers engaging a single no name enemy officer on the other side of the map?

The Wuzhang Plains and Nanman Campaign are already sounding like headaches.

>>695393386
But your allies are winning their initial fights against even Courage enemies even with a morale disadvantage, you can just sit at the bottom of the map and watch. Sun Jian will kill one or two of the generics around him, it's specifically Xu Rong that gets him. Yuan Shao doesn't run into any issues until he hits Dong Min who has higher Courage. Liu Bei will clear out everything until he hits the second base which has multiple high Courage officers. There is clearly some off-screen application, otherwise your allies wouldn't win any encounters at all at the start.

>>695394570

>>695384108
Seriously though, how the FUCK do you avoid that exact wave attack. Every single other attack is basically OK, but on that one if you parry, you die. If you dodge, the next wave hits you while you're recovering and you die. I genuinely don't understand.

>>695401356
Parrying and dodging are a bit funky in this game because for some reason they decided that neither of these things should be as easy and casual to do as in other games.
Parrying needs you to hold down the button for parry frames to become active, you can't just tap it because letting go also ends your parry attempt, ie mashing block is just making you jump between 3 frames of vulnerability and parry. If you treat parries like they have some startup then it's a lot easier to develop the mentality for it.
Dodging is funky because while it does work properly for the most part, the cheeky side effect of a perfect dodge with the cinematic slowdown is that it can get cancelled into another dodge, so not only does mashing dodge ruin your window of opportunity, doing another dodge that whiffs will expose you and get you hit.

tl;dr stop mashing

>>695382710

So make your bets, will it get Empires version? Will it redefine the series like this one is doing for mainline games?

There's too much shit happening at once and I don't like how cinematic it is. Stop fucking pausing gameplay, zooming in on an officer, slowing time down, zooming out of the battlefield and having characters talk about the battle as all of the above is going on. Dynasty Warriors has never been THIS much of a clusterfuck. Just make SW2 Empires, but as a baseline DW game. I swear, that's the last true great game they released. The amount of scripted shit in new games is balls.

Ohhhhhh shiiiiiiii-*head asplode*

Wait, people have actually beaten Lu Bu? And on Hero Mode? I just rage quit on Wayfarer after dying eleventy million times. This is giving me DW2/DW3 vibes. And not in a good way. Officers need baby sitting, which isn't even the worst part. Lu Bu himself straight up cheats. It's impossible to react to some of his attacks while you're in the middle of a string yourself. And he does entirely too much damage with just one attack. I don't care if it's just a normal attack, a red-glowing attack, an orange-glowing attack, or a ranged arrow attack. There is zero point in these mechanics if one mere attack from him at all is going to delete half of my health bar. There is simply not enough healing buns left by the time I reach Lu Bu. And even if there were, I sincerely doubt there would be enough to sustain such massive DPS by this broken POS.

And my allies are about as useful as nips on a man with the way get one shot by him. And I'm not sure why the game keeps prompting me to R1+O when it's clear that does absolutely nothing half the time. Game is very obtuse in its instructions on how to actually stun the officer so I can "Assault" him. It's also very unclear when it's safe to attack Lu Bu and when it isn't. There should be a pattern to his attacks, but there really isn't. And again, even if there WERE a pattern, doesn't really matter when ALL OF HIS ATTACKS TWO SHOT ME.

How in the ever loving FUCK are you guys beating this dude?

Beat them up until their little shields are depleted. Parry-riposte's do heavy damage.

You're supposed to lose to Lu Bu, beating him is meant to be a NG+ kinda thing.

>>695413131
My winning solution was this:
Equip counter skill. This and the one that disrupts yellow attacks are the only ones you should be using.
When the fight starts hit him once to get his attention, then run away like a little bitch into one of the allied bases (you should make sure to conquer both of them before beginning the final assault on the gate, Yuan Shao will wait for you if you've succesfully babysat him up to the position outside the gate).
Whenever you have any bravery you can easily counter all of his white flash attacks and get free damage using the counter skill. Also use your soldier abilities on cooldown, they will die constantly but because you're in an allied base they'll regenerate.
Never parry, only counter or dodge. Counter is incredibly easy and works on everything that can be parried. Dodge works on everything full stop, but can be difficult.
This might not be the best, but the only attack string I really used on him was XXY, it does a lot of hits so it seems to regenerate bravery fast allowing lots of counters, and lowers his bravery too (this is what eventually gives you the stun and the free mash Y attack).
When you're out of bravery or it's a red attack, you just have to dodge, and time it right, mashing does not work. Stay close because often you can dodge and then he turns yellow, meaning you can do the disruption attack and get a bunch of damage. E.g. if he does the arrow attack you want to dodge FORWARD through the arrows and into him and then stun him while he's yellow.
This still took me several attempts on hero difficulty.

>>695382553
I don't think this is for me. I appreciate they've tried to make the combat not so mindless, but I can't even get to Lu Bu because the allies are idiotic and at the gate fight you just get bumrushed by charging troops over and over. Unless I'm missing something -- and that's possible -- it just seems like it's deliberately setting the odds to greatly against you.
Also, super-armor is such a bullshit mechanic in any game.

>Dynastybros, how you feeling about Origins now the demo is out?
Like not including protagonist customization was the most obvious blunder they could have made for the 'OC helps shape the three kingdoms" premise

favorite little detail in the demo so far is when you're doing the charge and you catch a glimpse of your fellow peons looking back and hyping each other up, such a world of difference to see them have a personality and not just be punching bags with 3 animations

the final zerg ambush charge with sun jian felt so fucking awesome

>>695421330
Liu Bei can also launch one from the left side if you keep him alive.

Never played a DW game before, but I'm having fun just mashing buttons and watching millions die.

>>695422283
I managed to keep all three teams on my last run and the morale hit the enemy takes is so intense that its a complete joke to mop up the entire enemy army when you manage to get them all going, it felt fantastic compared to my first run where only Yuan Shao lived.

The good counterattack is "Fickle Fury". It'll work on any non red attacks. Basically consider it the same as a parry except the window is like 20 minutes long, so it's impossible to fuck up.
Dodging seems to bypass all recovery frames except the recovery on dodging itself, but if you time it right and get the perfect dodge I don't think that dodge has any real recovery time at all (or at least you can dodge again out of it). Basically, if you're timing it right, dodging will always work against everything. But for white attacks do a counter instead when you can for reliable free damage and much easier timing.

In the old games you would often get to this point in the story and be told "DO NOT PURSUE LU BU". You were supposed to avoid him and the battle would end without fighting him, but if you wanted to you could go and fight him anyway. He would have busted stats and likely one-shot you unless you had already completed the game and gone back with high level stats yourself.
In this demo they have added him to the end of the mission just as a special challenge. In the real game you won't have to defeat him here.
That said, just get good.

AIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE

LU BU-SAMA!!!!! HAVE MERCY!!!!!!

Am I meant to block or am I meant to dodge?

>>695437598
Block if you're not confident, dodge if you need to get the fuck out of there, perfect-parry if you're good.

>>695437598
If you're on hero difficulty you ideally shouldn't ever be blocking, attacks will drain your bravery and then your health even if succesfully blocked. It's either parry or dodge. Dodge works for everything so I would default to that, parry gives better reward IF it's a move that can be parried and if you actually pull it off.
There are also counter skills which are like parries but incredibly easy to pull off, but they cost up some bravery to use.

>>695382553
Warriors games other than 9 have always performed well for some reason.
I don't know KT does with those games, that they're unable to do with everything else they make though. Shit's weird.

I'm bad at these games, but I played it anyway. Is it normal for you squads to get totally wiped out on hard mode? 8 minutes into a battle, I'm the only one left standing. I realized the horse was an option after a few attempts, but it seems like I gotta save everyone before moving forward.

>>695438496
It is normal to not be able to save everyone. In the demo, some will die very soon after the battle started because they job to Hua Xiong, which leads an overall morale loss and makes the rest of the army jobbers too. You need to be good at handling crisis, know who to babysit and which part of the map to prioritize if you don't want to be the only one left standing in the end

>>695438927
Guess I'll git gud and pay closer attention

>>695382553
i'm a beginner and it wasn't exactly a beginner friendly intro to the game so my opinion don't mean shit, but i basically agree on everything. the game felt really fun and got even more fun as i slowly figured out wtf was happening, and that's without even getting into gear and understanding every system and thing on screen.
but it also felt like i had to zerg rush as hard as possible to keep the battle going.
i figure that's somewhat intentional as the world revolves around you in these games, rather than your AI pushing the map on their own. it's not strategy like maybe the Empire games are more like that where you can plan and have AI succeed with strategy shit idk - but yeah in this game it's more about you solo carrying.

>>695389204
is that confirmed? i heard people having the assumption that this was going to be a custom character they just haven't shown that yet.

>>695438996
>is that confirmed?
Yes, it is. So far the only customization we know we could get is changing clothe accent color with the Deluxe bonus, and changing into John Wolong's costume with pre-order bonus. It's unknown if you can unlock more clothing options later in the game, but the donutsteel is here to stay.

Not sure how I feel about the gameplay changes. On one hand DW had been the same stale formula for 20 years. On the other it's just incorporating a different, equally stale formula.

I appreciate KT trying to make fighting officers an actually dangerous experience rather than them being glorified mooks. It adds weight to their inclusion on the battlefield.

>>695382553
I'm fucking happy they started actually doing unique npcs for people who matter like Gongsun Zan

game is kinda hard. but i dont wanna play anything but Hero. give some fucking tips

>>695440176
Gongsun Zan looks more like custom characters made from CAW, kinda like the NPCs in Spirit of Sanada. UNPCs are more like Yuan Shu and Hua Xiong.

>>695440289
UNPCs are anyone with a custom model or something unique to them like Huch'er and Cao Mao used to be, it doesn't really matter how it's done, what's important is that they actually have a unique model and voice imo

>>695438996
This battle is intentionally lopsided, but as long as you pay attention to the flow of battle your allies can mop up enemies well, the issue lies in the scripted morale loss that tanks everyone's battle performance, once you get past that hurdle you don't need to even baby sit allied generics

>>695441359
the game keeps freezing for me so i took a break. if i read correctly there are 4 kinds of weapons and if you say they play differently then what's the difference?

>>695441594
You'll have to look at the moveset list, for example the Guandao uses what's basically DW6's renbu system, they literally have different mechanics built into each weapon

>>695382553
Hate the twink MC and lack of characters, not interested. Better luck next time, Omega Force, try to get that fujo stick out of your ass.

>>695441515
>i have no idea how. you hold down LT? and then press a button?
Yes, they have a cooldown to prevent from spamming though.

>>695441594
Sword is pretty much a traditional DW moveset and the best imo to learn the other basics.
Podao has lots of charge attacks.
Glaive builds stack off your attacks and its unique dodge, you spend stacks on strong attacks.
Rings toss rings around you and some of your moves are enhanced if you use them right after a ring has returned.

>>695441316
Please don't tell me that's supposed to be SSX, why the long horse face?

Can someone give me a quick rundown of what Origins is? Is it a totally different genre? I somehow didn't learn about this game existing today. I've only played some of the older DWs

>>695441981
More importantly, why is she even there. She wasn't even born when the Coalition was a thing.

>>695442343
It's Dynasty Warriors 10, but 9 was such a disaster that they're distancing themselves from it with a rename.
You might as well try the demo if you're remotely interested. I had extremely low expectations after 9 but the demo has completely sold me.

>>695442343
Basically a soft reboot to the series after a failed attempt at revamping the series with DW9.

>Origins because the title wants to go back to the old days of the series being battlefield crisis simulator more than one man army simulator
>can only control one character now, not even a custom one
>has 9 weapon types, corresponding to 9 historical character companions that can join you in SOME battle
>each weapon has a gimmick to differentiate them a lot from each other so you can get a lot more varied gameplay compared to the old charge combat format
>story only goes up to Chibi in 208AD, so needless to say that anyone that only plays a role after that is now out right missing
>some characters like Cao Cao and Liu Bei have completely new youthful designs now

Thought about doing the same too, but with all the chaos going on, it's kinda hard to pay attention to the dialogue at times...

By that point in the story, it devolves into the sima family more or less fighting themselves as it transition into the 8 princes period. No one honestly cares about the very end of the Three Kingdoms; once Cao Cao and Lui Bei die, most people lose interest completely.

>>695450080
The roster is a tumor that takes up more and more resources every game, it's not sustainable in the long run as we see where DW8 with its full unique cast sold worse than 7

Jesus I did not expect that to take so long. The only other Dynasty Warriors game I've played before was Hyrule Warriors but this was pretty fun. I feel like it's a bit annoying to deal with the regular soldiers and the named units at the same time though, and I wish we got a taste of what the overworld is like. I probably won't buy it on release because $70 is still bullshit but I'll keep it on my wishlist.

>>695450080
Same way they justify the limited story ending at chi bi. More attention for quality and they get to sell the rest to you later at another 80 dollars, maybe even two or more times if this doesn't flop.

>>There's no time to breathe and "take it all in" as you have to rush everywhere as quickly as possible (due to your allies needing you to save them)

Hide's role and background is at least established and he eventually faded from the foreground of the war and focus more on demon hunting.
3 kingdoms won't exist without Wo Long guy cause all the leaders will die without him.

Not going to bother with the hate niggers. This shit is amazing (baring Omega Force's normal quality). It finally feels like we got a fucking PS3 Warriors game. I'll likely wait till all the of kike dlc is out and pick up a bundle of it all on sale in like 18 months or so from now but I am seriously loving the demo. Although I'm getting filtered on normal because of how technical it is trying to be for a warrior's game. The parry martial arts is broken as fuck OP compared to all the other arts combined.

In hindsight, Hiddy is a pretty good mute protagonist

>has clear motivations
>other characters don't just suck his dick off just because, Hiddy earns the respect by being the one who knows how to get the job done
>has emotional scenes with some other characters
>misses out on some important events because he is either fucking dead or was sealed away and has to leave it to others to do stuff for him

>>695384108
>Fight Lu Bu
>He uses his special and chokes slames me on the ground for the OPENING
Nah, I'm not going to lie to you guys, I got fucking filtered hard only at that point.

>>695451280
imo the combat of DW:O is closer to Nioh 2 with a such a strong dodge and the palm counter being literally Yukai Brute burst counter.

It no longer just mindless button mashing.

Okay boomer

why are so many people spazzing out over the oc character, is it because they can’t self insert

>Allies still very much need you to babysit them, at least on this stage
Fucking seriously? I hate that.

>>695456295
I want to play as Liu Bei again.

>>695456295
Self inserts are never in the main games, people just want to play as the actual officers like they always have.

I want to play as my nigga Wei Yan that's all

how do you switch character with the ps4 controller?

>>695384108
they've done parry/counter type mechanics in earlier DW before but they've always kinda sucked

That was Samurai Warriors 5.
SW5 and DWO:
>Trimming the plot and cast to focus on an earlier half
>Reworking the personalities and designs of some of the cast
>More aggressive peons and sturdier officers


My conspiracy theory is SW5 was a test run to see how DWO's format would be accepted, SW5 did well, so DWO was given the go ahead.

>>695460742
was it that much different aside from the roster culling? I played the demo for it and it felt exactly like SW4

>>695453862
Kino

>>695456295
omega force has an awful track record when it comes to slapping a donut steel in their historical games and one of the biggest selling points of the franchise is being able to choose from literal hundreds of characters to play as

do you prefer romance of the three kingdoms or record of the three kingdoms

>>695453862
this is cool as a bitch, goddamn

that charge into the army outside sishui gate is kino of the highest order. really hope the game is full of that kinda stuff

Dynasty Warriors is back.

>>695460298
>berserker tier level Liang warrior in history
>battled against Han Sui and the rest of the Liang Province rebels
>battled against the coalition forces
>almost killed Cao Cao at Wan and caused him to abort his initial Jing campaign
>battled Yuan Shao’s forces at Guandu earning honors and accolades
>battled against Yuan Shao’s sons, again earning honors and accolades
why is he portrayed a simpering wimp doing whatever Jia Xu tells him

Can we get a fully fledged Lu Bu campaign that's just an improved version of his DW8 what-if where he fights everyone else in China for his final battle please? I'll even settle for it being DLC if it's actually good, it's such a simple but kino premise

>>695456295
I think the MC is Zhou Cang and it is a meta narrative.

>>695463323
He's an NPC in the games + they don't want to shift focus away from Jia Xu I guess

"improved version" makes it sound like you weren't happy with what we got which was the best damn stage in the franchise

>>695462912
It's interesting that each play it was a different officer who did they counter tactic. First it was SSX and the next Li Dian. One more time and the counter tactic didn't even happen, everyone just fights normally.
It kinda sucks that the game will be shorter but if they actually give more details in each battle I think this is gonna be a good one.

>>695463339
>ll even settle for it being DLC if it's actually good,
Tecnically it was DLC to begin with

literally never played a Dynasty Warriors game before but the demo was FUCKING SICK. Gonna be the action game of 2025.

>>695463523
It won't be any shorter than most of the other games, it's 20 hours per route and theres hypotheticals plus sho hinting at a 4th route. Obviously there won't be a grind mode but i'd wager they do a DLC for it if the game sells

i was on the fence on this one after the massive flop the last dynasty warrior was, but the deal breaker for me is can you still play as all the other officers or are you stuck playing as a literal who?

Justice for Zhang Xiu! And Gao Shun! And Zang Ba! And all other great generals who forever stuck as generics because Luo Guanzhong didn't bother sucking their dicks in his fanfiction.

>>695463689
You can only play as 9 other officers in SOME battles ONLY when a certain gauge is full.

>>695463323
Just like Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu basically got away with the stunt at Wan Castle and got into good terms with Cao Cao.

>>695456295
It's mostly just a vehicle for people to whine about not having 200 characters to pick from (while they only pick like 10 because most of them suck and aren't fun to play and aren't even cool personality/history-wise), but it is kinda lame to have an OC when one of the big appeals has always been playing different characters. For me though the problem is just that they aren't customizable, since that's also been a reoccurring appeal factor for the series.

>>695384108
I like the idea
but this much visual fucking clutter is terrible

>>695466940
i think it is such an easy complaint to make but i myself have never played more than three maximum characters in a DW game before i get tired of it.

>defeat officer
>his remaining troops just disappear into the either instead of exiting via the checkpoints

2/10 immersion ruined

Took 15 - 20 goes but finally beat lu bu on medium

Also I can confirm that rushing Hua Xiong at the very beginning and beating him before the 3 ally officers get defeated (thus avoiding the big scripted morale drop) allows your allies to completely mop up the whole map on their own, even the high courage enemy officers drop like flies during the off-screen fighting due to the high ally morale.

I hope most battles don't require the player to do something like this, because as it says in the OP there's no time to just enjoy the battles and "take it in". I don't mind it now and then in a few battles, but if they all require the player to zig-zag over the map like this it's going to be tedious. I don't think it's a good way of adding difficulty, it feels forced/artificial and kinda immersion breaking.

>>695467143
The UI is pretty minimalist though, what visual clutter

>>695382553
What's the combat system? Classic DW style or DW9 Flow style

Are they planning for any dlc costumes? White armor Zhao Yun would be sick.
>>695468954
Kind of a mixed between the two but it's more similar to Fire Emblem warriors imo

>>695468954
Each weapon has its own specific style.

>Sword - classic DW combo strings
>big sword - focuses on charged heavies
>glaive - has a powerup mechanic so the more you hit, the charge attack moveset changes
>hoops - has a timing mechanic to the throws so they do more damage if timed correctly
