Battlefield Items (Dynasty Warriors)

Battlefield Items are common items that the players find while they progress through stages. Their uses are temporary or used on the spot, such as items that heal or give momentary stat increases. Items that are dropped, such as swords or shields, may also permanently affect the player's character. Note that all of these items must be picked up in time before they completely disappear.

Rarer items take more effort to unlock and are often symbolized by a specially marked box or message. They can be seen in the template at the bottom of this page.

The following lists common drops found in Dynasty Warriors and its various spin-off titles.
