Dynasty Warriors 7/Weapon Movesets


 * This page is for the weapons introduced in Dynasty Warriors 7. For additional weapon movesets, please see the Movesets category.

Weapons in Dynasty Warriors 7 behave in a different manner than previous iterations of the series. Like the Strikeforce titles, characters can simultaneously equip two weapons at once and can switch between them at will. During battle, players can hold more than one weapon in their inventory and can switch the weapons they're using to change to another in reserve. This can be done during the middle of battle or even when the character is still in the air.

A quick switch between the two weapons triggers a "Switch Attack". Depending on the weapon, the motions for the attack motion will vary.

An "EX Attack" becomes available when a character is equipped with their personal weapon of choice (colloquially known as "EX Weapon"). The method for inputting these attacks are shown to the player through the weapon's action listing in the game's pause menu. A simple way of spotting the EX Attack or a character's weapon of choice is by noting the letters "EX" with the weapon icon. When it's selected, the golden letters will notify the player. There is one "EX Attack" available per character.

Even if characters have a preferred weapon of choice, however, the producer stresses that any weapon can be freely equipped for any character. A character's preferred weapon may not always be the best one for each character since it may not cover all of the character's weakspots. For an example, he compared Guan Yu and his trademark Green Dragon Crescent Blade. The weapon may cover a wide range but it's also slow and leaves Guan Yu open to attacks. To counter this, the producer suggested equipping Guan Yu with a speedier weapon type to make him more flexible. The weapon system strives to grant players the freedom to counteract these type of imbalanced traits at their own will and preferences.

Since the movesets themselves are ingrained with the weapon and not the character, all of the characters in this title will have similar movesets. This means anyone using a set of gauntlets, for example, will act in the same manner as Ding Feng or Meng Huo, the EX users of the weapon type. The known traits to separate EX users from the rest of the cast are their EX Attacks and specialized Musou attacks. Musou attacks for all of the characters will switch to their preferred weapon, regardless of whatever weapon they are currently using. Even if he doesn't have it within his inventory, Zhao Yun will automatically switch to his spear for his Musou attacks. The producer remarked that players can make any type of joke they want about how this is even possible. Gender may play a part in deciding on which weapons a character may be able to use.

"Unique" weapons also exist in the game. For instance, both Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi have feather fans as their weapon of choice. Zhuge Liang will have a white and green fan while Sima Yi's will turn black and purple. Wang Yuanji's throwing daggers for her downloadable costume will change their look but they will act the same. These "unique" effects are purely cosmetic.

Weapons can be earned by defeating enemy generals in battle or by purchasing them at a weapons store in Story or Conquest Mode. There are weapons that will be exclusive for the player in one mode and not the other (i.e.: there are weapons available in Story Mode that can't be found in Conquest Mode).

Fighting Style
The Sword moveset is considered to be the jack-of-all-trades of this game since almost all characters start with this weapon at their disposal with a usually two- or three-star skill level. It has a moderate range, relatively good attack speed, and is extremely user-friendly. C3 is the most recommended for one-on-one duels and combo-making, while C4 and C6 are quick, albeit small, crowd-clearers. C5 is useful for some last-resort surprise attacks (and combo-making, like C3), and C2 makes it easy to link with some characters' aerial Musou attacks.

Horse Moveset

 * undefined: Does one lunge to the left.
 * ,, , , , : Does five lunges to the left and ends with other three lunges, only more powerful.

Fighting Style
A fighting style comprised mostly of lunges, the rapier one of the least accurate movesets in the game. It is useful in crowd fights because the player doesn't have to focus on precision, but is very ineffective against officers due its weak attacks. However, its speed is useful when cornered as it covers all areas around the player.

Horse Moveset

 * undefined: Summons a tornado.
 * ,, , , , : Leans to the left, and sends six whirlwinds down.

Fighting Style
The War Fan Moveset is heavily influenced by Zhuge Liang's movesets in all prior installments. It encompasses of medium-close ranged attacks consisting of gushes of wind (each with a small knockback) and thunder-based magic strikes which generally serve as crowd-clearers. Its main weakness is the relatively obvious openings between attacks despite its medium speed. A fast-striking secondary which leaves few openings is recommended.

Ground Moveset

 * undefined: Slashes downwards with both swords. Stuns the enemy.
 * , undefined: Jumps while alternately slashing with both swords. Launches the enemy as well as oneself.

Horse Moveset

 * undefined:
 * ,, , , , : Six small gushes of wind to the left side.

Fighting Style
All of this weapon's moves are taken directly from Liu Bei's Dynasty Warriors 6 moveset, with the attacks mixed together to match the Charge Attack system. Compared to other weapons, the Twin Swords' attack power is relatively weak, but makes up for it by having nearly every attack hit twice. Overall, it is an excellent weapon for clearing crowds, thanks to its extremely powerful C4 and dashing attack. It loses much of its usefulness against officers, as it is very difficult to juggle with this weapon, but it is nonetheless still powerful.

Ground Moveset

 * undefined: Spins spear around 360 degrees finishing with a pose on the left knee, breaking the oppenent's guard. Can be held down to deal more damage. Will not be phased by attacks (with the exception of Musou attacks) when executing the held down version of this move. Deals little damage.
 * , undefined: . User strikes up with the blunt of the spear, if it connects, the user will continue to spin around the opponent, strike their legs and send them flying to the air. The player will then smash the oppenent down with the head of the spear. Invincible if the grapple animation is triggered. Grapple will only occur if the target is on the ground meaning players cannot juggle with the grapple.
 * ,, undefined, (undefined): The user will stab very quickly three times and then end with a dashing strike to the right. The user will stab an additional two for a total of five if undefined is pushed again.
 * ,, , undefined: Pulls back and shoots a narrow energy wave across the ground. If undefined is held down, the user will send a wider arced energy wave instead.
 * ,, , , undefined: Will swiftly charge the spear up and down, emitting a large ground explosion and send opponents into the air.
 * ,, , , , undefined: Executes a 180 degree strike from right to left and also emits a small shock wave around the user. If undefined is held down, the user will instead spead to their right, and swing their spear to the right. This version is more powerful and emits a larger shockwave.
 * ,, , , , : Strikes to the left while simultaneously crossing the right foot between the left. Player crosses their legs back to normal while striking to the right, from here, the user directly swings the spear back to the left, back to the right, and then strikes forward.


 * Dashing : Dashes forward and strikes to the right.
 * , : Jumps and sweeps from right to left in the air.


 * Switch Attack: Player will plant their spear into the ground and swing forward, flowing a supposed dropkick into scissoring the opponent's neck with their feet to use as an anchor, from here the player then extends their spear full length and spin around 540 degrees counter-clockwise to hit a wide radius and then slams their victim into the ground with a headscissors takedown by doing a somersault. It resembles Zhao Yun's deadlock attack in Dynasty Warriors 6.

Ground Moveset (DW8)

 * Storm Rush:
 * Variable Counter:

Horse Moveset

 * undefined: An anticipated swing to the left, then right.
 * ,, , , , : Six swings to the right.

Fighting Style
Most of this moveset is a slightly modified version of Zhao Yun's moveset from Dynasty Warriors 6 and shares many of the same strengths and weaknesses. A good overall style for beginning players to use, it is highly mobile with good crowd clearing attacks and decent speed and range.

Ground Moveset

 * undefined: Sends forth an air ware along the ground, breaking the guards of all enemies call it in it.

Fighting Style
The Pike is a modified version of the Polearm moveset in in Dynasty Warriors 6. It now boasts a stronger square-chain and like the Spear moveset is relatively user-friendly and has good range. However, it suffers from a somewhat slow attacking speed and has few knockbacks.

Horse Moveset

 * undefined:
 * ,, , , , : Six alternating left-to-right slashes.

Fighting Style
The Double Voulge moveset is heavily influenced by Wei Yan's the movesets of prior to Dynasty Warriors 6. It consists of mediocre crowd clearing abilities with its C1 to C4 moves, while the C5 is an excellent one-on-one officer killer (since every of its spin is elemental). Its C6 is good for crowd control, allowing the user to break out of massive flocks of enemies.

Ground Moveset

 * undefined: Swings the sword aside to break guard, hold to perform an overhead smash.
 * , undefined:
 * ,, undefined:
 * ,, , undefined: Sends forth a mighty air ave.

 * Storm Rush:
 * Variable Counter:

Horse Moveset

 * undefined:
 * ,, , , , : Throws daggers down at opponents from the left side of the horse.

Fighting Style
The throwing knives moveset is quick and strong at mid range and short range combat. It's not good to use if the player is surrounded as it lacks strong knock back attacks and generally only hits enemies in the front. This leaves users of this moveset highly vulnerable to attacks from behind. This moveset also has a hard time breaking blocks and guards but can easily juggle opponents if they are already airborne.

Ground Moveset

 * undefined: Rolls forward and makes an anticipated throw to the front. If it hits an enemy, the user will slash at his/her ankle, breaking his/her guard.
 * , undefined:
 * ,, undefined: Shoulder-rams forward.

Ground Moveset (DW8)

 * undefined, (undefined): Rolls forward and kicks at the enemy in front of them. If the kick makes contact with an enemy, and then presses undefined again, the user will swing the sickle and it will wrap around the opponents waistline. Then flick their wrist back causing it to slash at the grappled enemy, and near by enemies as well.


 * , undefined: tosses sickle out a bit and then slams the blade of the weapon down into the ground.


 * Storm Rush:
 * Variable Counter:

Horse Moveset

 * undefined: An anticipated swing to the right side, then to the left.
 * ,, , , , : Six rotating swings to the right side.

Fighting Style
While the chain and sickle has great range its large sweeping swings can leave gaps in a user's attack through which an enemy can strike at higher levels. It also doesn't provide 360 coverage so can work best when equipped along with a fast-striking or wide-ranged secondary weapon.

Ground Moveset

 * undefined: An anticipated throw into the front arc. Breaks enemy guards.
 * , undefined: Turns once and hits an enemy upwards.
 * ,, undefined: Two anticipated diagnal swings.

Fighting Style
The Club moveset is a modified version of the Mace moveset found in Dynasty Warriors 6. It has moderate range, but it appears slow and unwieldy even with characters with max proficiency. C3 is the most commonly recommended move as it can quickly build up combo hits.

 * ,, , , , : Six swings to the right.

Fighting Style
The Staff is based on Zhou Yu's moveset from Dynasty Warriors 6. It both covers a large area and is relatively fast, so it is a very good weapon for clearing crowds. It also has surprisingly high attack power and is quite powerful against officers. The only disadvantages are in the quirky hitboxes some attacks, particularly the 4th and 5th Normal Attack, seem to have. It is not rare to miss enemies with these attacks, despite standing right in front of them, because the staff's hitbox was too high up to hit them. It is therefore advised to fight enemies either on level or from lower ground.

The Glove moveset has a short range, but it boasts the most numerous grapple attacks in all weapons—in fact, from C2 all the way to C6. All of these grapples attacks are, as with all grapples within this series, unblockable by any opponent. Therefore it is regarded as a very effective close-range weapon with a moderate speed.

 * ,, , , , : Fires exploding arrows from the left side of the horse.

Fighting Style
The Bow moveset incorporates many attacks from its previous incarnation and has a good range and moderate knockbacks. However, it renders the user immobile and most of its charge attacks are only moderately powerful. C6 is the most commonly suggested move.

Ground Moveset

 * undefined: Sends forth a beam of light across the ground, breaking the guard of all enemies caught in it.
 * , undefined: Slams the ground once with the rod, creating a small, fiery shockwave.

 * NOTE: If the attack misses a target, the fan slimply flashes closed, and then opens again, dealing no damage.
 * ,, , , , : Repeated swipes with the edge of the fan in a dancing motion until the 6th attack knocks the enemy down.


 * Dashing : Throws the fan a short distance ahead of the character, knocking any enemies in the way.
 * , : A short, swift attack aimed at an enemy on the ground.


 * Switch Attack: Throws the fan a short distance away; it will spin in place to create a temporary whirlwind which will juggle any enemies caught in it.

Ground Moveset (DW8)
The Iron Fan has decreased in size, but gained a great increase in attack speed. Now generates small blades of air around the fan when striking to increase weapon range, and gains new attacks.

 * undefined: Throw the fan downwards to the right, where it will spin on the ground and return to the player, where it will again descend to the ground to the player's left
 * ,, , , , : Attack with quick, repeated swipes off the right side of the horse

Fighting Style
The Iron Fan moveset is one of the weakest movesets in the game, primarily due to the lack of range in its normal attack string and low weapon attack power. Charge attacks are mediocre at best. Nonetheless, it is an overall balanced moveset with one-on-one attacks (Normal attacks, C2 and C6) and crowd clearing attacks (C3, C4 and C5). Its most devastating move is C4, which is a 360 degree move. When this attack is combined with the Lightning element, Elemental Attack Up Seal and Officer Assassin Seal, it is enough to nearly kill any playable officer.

The Halberd moveset is loosely based on Lu Bu's movesets prior ''Dynasty Warriors 6.

It is noted that when switched to this weapon, the character's strength and speed are temporarily increased to allow maximum proficiency of usage.

The Claw is essentially a modified version of Zhang He's Dynasty Warriors 6: Special moveset. It is highly unpredictable and requires time to master. All of its attacks concentrate the strength on the very last blow in the chain, and the highly unpredictables moves makes it very easy to lose a target in unskilled hands. However, its high speed and rate of attack can still be useful for racking up combos.

The harp moveset is strong at close range as players can easily juggle opponents. There is some slight lag time between attacks and can leave players vulnerable to back attacks. So long as players aren't too heavily surrounded from behind it is a moveset good for crowd clearing nearby opponents. The moveset also incorporates some mobility and players can easily keep their distance and hit from afar.
