Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2/Mounts

Mounts in Dynasty Warriors Vol. 2 are acquired in the form of horses and elephants rather than harnesses. Dropped by prominent enemy officers, they are placed in the stable which can only carry a capacity of eight animals. Riding a mount in battle will raise its experience and allow it to grow stronger; like deployable officers, mounts can attain up to 10 ranks and may even receive a promotion. The higher the promotion, the more enemies a mount can stomp over.
