There are several crucial factors that you will need to keep in mind when battling in Dynasty Warriors Origins.

Depleting your enemy’s Fortitude is another crucial component that you must factor into your strategy.

You will be able to deplete your enemy’s Fortitude by completing some specific actions. These also deal damage to your enemy gradually, so it’s a win-win scenario for you either way. Depleting your enemy’s Fortitude can often cut the battle short, saving you a significant amount of time. In this article, we will explain how you can deplete your enemy’s Fortitude in Dynasty Warrior Origins.

There are two primary ways to deplete your enemy’s Fortitude:

  • Keep hitting your enemy with your combos.
  • Use Battle Arts.

Both methods to deplete an enemy’s Fortitude revolve around combat. As such, you do not need to take any additional action for this. As you keep hitting an opponent, their Fortitude will automatically break and lower. If you use counter-attacks or use any special Battle Arts, you will be able to take a chunk out of their Fortitude meter. Once an enemy’s Fortitude is completely depleted, you will be able to Assault them. Assault is like a massive finisher move; it will deal a huge amount of damage to an enemy.

Keep an eye on your Bravery Points and use them wisely to launch counter attacks with Battle Arts. The stronger the Battle Arts, the more Bravery it will consume, and the more Fortitude it will lower in Dynasty Warriors Origins. When you deplete the Fortitude of an enemy completely, they will be dazed for a brief moment, that will allow you to squeeze in as much attacks as you possibly can. If done well, you can take this opportunity to finish off an enemy completely.

Fortitude is like an added layer of armor that only the bigger and tougher enemies have in Dynasty Warriors Origins. It is represented by small orange icons and gradually depletes when you hit the enemies. The level of Fortitude an enemy has depends on the number of orange icons.

Normal enemies that appear in hordes do not have Fortitude; only the bosses or named enemies have it. During a fight, you need to properly utilize your Battle Arts to lower an enemy’s Fortitude in order to defeat them easily.
