Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed/Officers

Officers in Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed are obtained by purchasing edicts sold at the market or clearing campaign battles. Initially a blank state when recruited, they become strong by gaining levels for parameter growth and stars which unlock new attacks. Reaching 3 or more stars enables any officer to learn a unique skill and attain leadership status.

The following options below are used for officer development.
 * Training - Outside of battle participation, training is a convenient method for raising character levels using surplus officers as base material. Up to 5 can be used simultaneously per training session. Using characters with the same elemental affinity yield more experience points for the recipient while duplicate characters of any element raise skill levels by the amount of stars they possess.
 * Promoting - Consume surplus officers to raise a character's star rank by 1. Can only be done with officers sharing the target's current rank. Maximum skill levels rise each time a character gets promoted.
 * Fusing - Combine maxed out officers of the same rank to create one with a higher star rank. Similar to merging items, the results vary greatly. This is a quick way to farm for high-ranking characters.
 * 1★ Officers - 2,000 Coins
 * 2★ Officers - 4,000 Coins
 * 3★ Officers - 8,000 Coins
 * 4★ Officers - 18,000 Coins
 * 5★ Officers - 40,000 Coins
 * Transcending - Enables a fully-leveled 6★ officer to break the normal level cap, thereby gaining higher stats and more power. Requires 200,000 coins and at least one duplicate of the intended officer who must be level 60 as well; an alternative method would be to use red star scrolls for the target. The first four red stars offer 3 additional levels each while the last two provide four. Each star also gives 2 additional skill levels.
