How to Get Dramatic Success in Dynasty Warriors Origins’ Tactics

Characters in Dynasty Warriors Origins can issue training missions that, when completed, will let you obtain bonus skill points while improving your bond levels with them. However, some of these missions will require you to trigger Dramatic Success while executing the Squad Tactics newly implemented in the latest Dynasty Warriors entry as of 2025.

However, the issue with this challenge is that not all Tactics have a trigger for Dramatic Success. If you want to focus on completing such missions, you must first choose Tactics with a [Dramatic Success] sign on their description box.

You can watch the preview video inside the description box to check how the Tactic would proceed. But of course, the best way to experience the Tactics will be to actually use them in battles.

The game will occasionally flash a Tactic icon during your field movements, which also hints at an optimal position to trigger a Dramatic Success. You will also know you can trigger the feat when the Tactic’s attack area glows blue instead of white. However, you still need to factor in the enemy’s movement directions so that the attack would not miss.

You can see more examples of Tactics with Dramatic Success other than the above Battle Roar right below.

Projectile volleys will be perhaps the most common Tactics with Dramatic Success you will use in Dynasty Warriors Origins. Whether you are pelting arrows or stones, you just need to find a higher ground to inflict a brief debuff on an enemy officer’s Courage level.

Mounted Charge is my personal favorite Tactic to complete the Dramatic Success missions. Even though it has a rather long cooldown timer at 420 seconds or 7 minutes, you do not need to find a higher ground like the volley attacks. All you need to do is to make sure you execute the Tactic when the target enemy officer is located around the final third of the attack area.

Spear Wall is a Tactic with one of the shortest cooldown timers at just 90 seconds or 1.5 minutes. However, I find its use case for Dramatic Success very rare compared to the above Tactics. The Spear Wall is most optimally used against enemy cavalry charges during large army clashes.

Dramatic Success is one of the gameplay features included in Dynasty Warriors Originsavailable worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
