Edit Characters (Dynasty Warriors)

Edit characters have been a part of the Dynasty Warriors series since Dynasty Warriors 4. Edit mode allows the player to create their own characters, based on preset costumes and abilities.

In Dynasty Warriors 4, the player could select the name and gender of their character, some costumes, and the weapon. Weapons were based on NPC of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Fu Xi's sword, and Nu Wa's rapier. The edit officers' avatars were always silhouetted instead of showing the officer.
