5-Star Weapon Guide

Overview

In this guide I’ll list 5-Star weapons, show weapon info/weapon cards and explain how to get them. The 5-Star weapons are the second best weapons in the game. 6-Star weapons should be your priority. After that you should aim for 5-Star weapons.Use “Ctrl + F” combination and search for the character / stage / weapon, or simply look into your character in related kingdom section. (For example, Shu -> Zhuge Liang)5-Star weapons were part of Dynasty Warriors 8, not Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Edition. So all of the weapons are obtainable in classic stages.You should play on Hard or above difficulty. When you complete all of the requirements, you’ll see “Discovered Treasure” notification in your screen and battlelog. If you didn’t see the location of treasure or simply forgot it, you can check battlelog to see it’s location on the map.
