Dynasty Warriors Origins drops you onto the lands of Ancient China where your overarching goal is to bring peace to the land. To achieve this, you need to take part in several battles and restore order to an area. While the overall gameplay loop of any battle remains the same, there are some unexpected surprises that might pop up to work in your favor. Ambushes in Dynasty Warriors Origins are a great way to suddenly catch the enemy off-guard and quickly turn the tide of a battle.

Not all ambushes are premeditated since they depend on your allies and their positions. That said, in this article, we will explore how you can set up an ambush in Dynasty Warriors Origins and gain the upper hand over your enemy.

The key to ambushing your enemy in Dynasty Warriors Origins lies in your allies’ position amid the battle. This is not an element that you can decide on during the Battle Preparation phase; it is more of a situational thing. If your ally is in the right position and is ready to attack, you will get a notification on your screen that says your ally is ready to Ambush. Once you see this, simply make your way to this ally and begin the attack together.

A successful ambush will temporarily lower your target enemy’s Courage, which is a huge advantage. This might not be very significant during small-scale battles. However, during battles where multiple allies are in multiple places, you will have to help all of them, and ambushes can be of great help then in Dynasty Warriors Origins.

As we mentioned before, ambushes temporarily lower a target enemy’s Courage. When an enemy’s Courage is lowered, their will to fight lowers. Their attacks will be less intense. There will be no relentless onslaught. During this time, you can easily defeat them with your combos and Battle Arts. Moreover, since you will also have at least one ally during an ambush, they will join you in the fight to deal damage more easily.

In turn, this will let you quickly move on and help your other allies who are at a different location. This not only saves you a lot of time in a particular section of the battle but also often ends up giving you enough time to save your allies from imminent threats.
