Glossary

Chapter 21 / 225 min readGame version 0.1.0.3

The words and abbreviations players use, in plain English, including the ones that mean something different from what you would expect.

In short
  • The words players use, in plain English.
  • Some words mean something other than you would expect: Damage breaks objects, not people.
  • Older guides use older names; the last table translates them.

Dynasty Warriors Online has collected three layers of vocabulary: the Japanese terms the community uses, the English of the original 2010 service, and the English patch used on DWO Reborn. This list uses the words you will see in the game today, and notes the older words you will meet in guides and videos.

Words that trip up beginners

WordWhat it really means
Attack and DamageTwo different stats. Attack hurts people; Damage breaks objects such as towers, gates and fences.
Weapon rank (R1 to R7)A weapon's tier. A higher rank raises how far it can be tempered; it is not a damage multiplier by itself. A well-tempered lower rank beats an untempered higher rank.
Military rankYour standing in the army (21 steps, Recruit, Guard and upwards). Separate from weapon rank and quest rank.
Quest rank (E to S)How hard a quest is. A quest also gives you a grade (E to S) for how well you did, which is not the same thing.
Honor and FameHonor only ever rises and drives promotion. Fame is a competitive rating (F to S+) that also goes down.
SA (Super Armor)Not flinching when hit. It is armor a move gives you while you do it; it is not the same as an attack that breaks armor.
