Cao Cao [NG+/Objective%/Easy Mode] Route Guide

Dynasty Warriors 6 [360]

Musou Mode: Cao Cao (Easy) [All Targets Run]
~Route Guide~

- - - Basic Tips - - -
*Try to aim correctly to OHKO officers while riding. Learn the mechanics of quickly turning the horse and strafing to fight.
*Use horse combat to kill base archers and base corporals. Off-horse attacks should be used for doors and powered officers, but everything else should be on horse.
*If your horse can't jump over archer base walls, you will be greatly disadvantaged. Obviously you want max speed on a horse. 
*A horse with Arrow Dance sounds great for higher difficulties, but it's better to have Musou Spirit and Renbu Gait for lower difficulty runs. Don't worry about the horses that give you extra horses and weapons post-battle since time menuing isn't counted. 
*Have faith in your comrades to survive and catch up, but help when convenient for you to OHKO.
*Use mixed ground attacks (more power moves once renbu increases) to take out doors.
*Keep a look out for Tomes that drop and use them on powered-up and final officers. 
*A weapon with berserk is foolish for high difficulties, but is preferred on lower. Always pick Flash over a few points of attack. 
*Turn the brightness up on your television. This game is dark sometimes.
