While it can be exhilarating to cut through hordes of enemies in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, mastering the intricacies of army morale is crucial for tipping the scales of battle in your favor. Understanding morale can significantly impact your strategy and ultimately decide whether you emerge victorious or defeated. Here's a comprehensive guide on how morale functions in the game.

What Is Morale in Dynasty Warriors: Origins?

When commanding a large army in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*, managing morale becomes essential. Morale is a key factor that influences the performance of your officers and troops, as well as how your enemies respond to your forces.

A high morale level means your army operates more efficiently and autonomously. With high morale, your commanding officers are more likely to take the initiative, defeating enemy officers and capturing bases on their own. Conversely, low morale emboldens the enemy, making it easier for them to capture your bases and defeat your commanders, thereby complicating your path to victory.

How to Increase Morale

Morale in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins* can be influenced by both scripted events within battles and your actions on the field. Achievements like defeating an enemy commander, capturing a base, eliminating 100 soldiers, or winning a duel can boost your army's morale.

On the flip side, losing a base, having one of your commanders killed, losing a duel, or falling victim to an enemy ambush or Grand Tactic can lower your morale. These are the most common triggers for morale fluctuations during battles.

Even if morale dips, it's not the end of the road. You can turn the tide by assisting your allies. Use the minimap to locate allies in need and rush to their aid. Helping them often results in a morale boost. By crisscrossing the battlefield to support your allies, you can help them regain the morale necessary to perform better independently. If you notice morale waning, identify who needs help and get to them before it's too late!

That's how morale operates in *Dynasty Warriors: Origins*. The game is now available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, offering you the chance to test your strategic prowess on these platforms.
