Speed type characters are dominant in agility, and they may ignore enemy zones of control – normally, each character projects a zone of control in the four spaces around them, restricting enemy movement.Technique type characters are dominant in dexterity, and their attacks have a greater chance of inflicting critical hits, which increase their damage output.They do not, however, take reduced damage from ranged attacks.

Defense type characters have the highest stat in defense, and they take reduced damage if they are attacked from the front or sides.Attack type characters have the highest stat in attack, which may grow further the more damage they take.All characters are divided into one of five types, which largely determine their dominant stat and special ability: Most maps are based on maps found in Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, with alterations to limit the size of the level and better fit the grid pattern.Įach character has six separate stats that determine their abilities in combat: attack, defense, dexterity (higher dexterity increase the odds of hitting enemies in attacks), agility (higher agility increase the odds of evading enemy attacks), spirit (attack power gains a bonus when fighting low-morale enemies), and mobility (governs number of spaces that a character may move per turn). (Compare to the standalone Empires games, which are turn-based strategy games that use the traditional hack and slash combat to resolve conflict.) Players control a team of up to five characters as they move across a grid, and attack enemy units in order to achieve some form of objective. Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers, unlike the mainline Dynasty Warriors games, is a turn-based strategy game with no hack and slash combat.
