Dynasty Warriors 9 characters can carry any weapon
The latest Dynasty Warriors 9 characters have now been detailed on the Koie Tecmo website with the likes of Zang Chunhua and Pang De getting screenshots and extra info.
What we have learned now is that characters will feature switchable weapons. They can wield any weapon they like, so they're not restricted to one character.
“Characters can equip any weapon, but by equipping characters with their favorite weapon unique attack actions are executed, as well as increasing their ability to perform more powerful attacks or expanding their attack range,” reads the official blurb.
This is in addition to the news last week, where we learned that Dynasty Warriors 9 characters will be able to attach up to six jewels onto their weapons to enhance them.
Dynasty Warriors 9 is due for release on 8 February, 2018 on PS4 and Xbox One. For more details, check out the official Dynasty Warriors website.
