Orochi's Wrath Posts: 253 Group: Members Member #14,714 Joined: April 13, 2008	For me... I check what level are my characters first before switch to the lowest one and track how many more level to catch up with the other guys. So, character level is a factor that can influence me. Most of the time, when I just feel like playing one character, I will rarely change... just to activate True Musou.

With so many characters who can play in each story (or all after completion) makes replay a lot less tedius, as with leveling and 4th weapon aquisition also.

Sakon, has left the topic. Posts: 3,638 Group: Members Member #9,265 Joined: August 19, 2007 Gender Male	I change characters regularly and usually for 4 or so main reasons, such as the more obvious to remove character out with low health or little/no Musou remaining. But also to swap out a character that has acquired their ability to let another officer get one as well or simply to swap a lower level character in to get the final hit on an officer and collect some cheap exp. So basically to both stay alive and train characters equally.

If I want to level up a particular character, I switch it rarely unless that particular character needs some Musou filling I think it's called "recuperating". If not, I always switch it So they can be balanced to level up also gets life filling and Musou filling in standby EDIT: Yeah, like Fayt said, train the characters equally I always did that So my characters are all balanced in levels So yeah since the game can do the switching, just switch and have fun!

Actively Retired Posts: 4,128 Group: Members Member #7,393 Joined: May 17, 2007 Gender Male	Depends on the situation ... - When leveling characters: Always switching to keep things balanced - When acquiring abilities: Switch after each character completes the requirements - When aquiring 4th weapons: Switch for balance - When acquiring PIs: Never, unless it helps with moving around faster or recuperate lost musou/life - When doing solo runs: Duh, never - When hit by Lu Bu or Orochi on Chaos: Immediately Other than that, just when I do musou chains or any other situation where life/musou is drained. I haven't really dived into the world of tag combos, actually I've seen lots of good tag combo videos, but for some reason, I never really tried them myself Looks like I have something else to experiment with

He's bringing sexy back! :3 Posts: 1,055 Group: Members Member #9,222 Joined: August 16, 2007 Gender Female	It really depends. If I'm levelling up then I usually don't switch often if ever. Sometimes I use one of my high level characters to do all the work and let a lower level one get the experience if I don't like them much. Then again if I am on hard mode at a hard stage then I switch often, out of need if anything.

青龙 Posts: 1,713 Group: Moderators Member #6,080 Joined: March 15, 2007	As a lot of you have already said, I also think it depend of the situation in game. Usually, the cases I switch characters are : for balance their level (so hard when Mitsunari is in the team XD, he stole all the EXP) or when one is in danger or (when Kunoichi is in the team) for run (she's so fast!) or when I need some of their R1 to hit quickly enemy officers. By the way, the switch is a really cool thing in WO Gameplay ^^ Can't wait to try the Triple Musou in WO2

So you wish to test the edge of my blade? Posts: 159 Group: Members Member #14,323 Joined: March 29, 2008	Even if my characters are strong or weak I always switch my character. I thought of a good combo with Ranmaru, Guan yu and Sakon. well except when one character is in dnager, I keep to the HEALTHIEST. That leaves out Xu Shu :lol:

Behold the spear of Baby Dragon! Posts: 6,846 Group: Admins Member #3,636 Joined: October 5, 2006 Gender Male	All the time really. Its the purpose and one of the plus points in the WO series, character switching. I suppose since any character can receive lots of damage in just a few hits, that 3 characters life bars act as if they were 1 like in the DW and SW series. But of course when you have a very high levelled character, like Mitsunari in WO you find yourself just running forward without stopping and simply pressing R1. At that point its just about not needing to use it but just have fun with the feature.

Posts: 4,284 Group: Members Member #7,714 Joined: June 2, 2007	If one or more of these conditions are met, I switch characters: 1. Main character is on extremely low health (usually takes 2-3 hits to die). 2. Buff (Attack+, Defence+, Attack Speed+, etc) is needed. 3. Main character get really boring to play with (rarely happens). 4. Obtaining the abilities (skills). <- Once all characters have the skills, this no longer exists. As you can see, I hardly switch characters, it's a fun feature to have, but it's not really my thing. With even one character maxed out (generally the one you're good with), it makes it hard to die on chaos with one bar, with two more bars in reserve, the only time death will come on chaos is when attacks are not evaded, poor knowledge of the big mobs, etc. When I do PI requirements, I just play with that character the whole time, no switching. Same goes for fourth weapon farming, I play with my best character (Zhao Yun), pure solo, great farmer, never bored to play with, well balanced...

Starting Soldier Posts: 59 Group: Members Member #15,107 Joined: April 28, 2008	it really does depend on who i use if im playing for fun its whenever i want, if im getting skills i get one and then swap to get another then the third, if im getting prof then i get the charctor i need and support charctors and i swap whenever the effect runs off or i want to use musou and lastly on hard/chaos its when i get low hp or run low on musou
