What sub weapons would you use? I mainly take Weaponry(Spinning Blades, Sorcerors and Officers are threats). However Officers should be able to die quickly regardless of weapon which leaves Sorcerors and Spinning Blades. I checked the list and it looks like Canes can handle them just fine however i don't want to always you a singular sub weapon is there any in mind you use for each combination?

Sword and Magical Weapon (such as fans and cane) are good against Flying Weaponry, not sure about Spear. Stick and Halberd are good against Heavy Weaponry.

Spear, Bow, and Cane good against flying magician. Spear and Sword good against archer and swordsman. Stick and Halberd good against halberd-guy, stick-guy, and spear-guy. Spear good against archer.

Hope that's right and helpful. Sorry if there any wrong

This doesn't help with what i said, i was meaning on combinations. So far i find Staff/Spear is a good combo. However i'm not sure on the others other than Ling Tong i'm maxing out Zhao Yun and Taishi Ci

I do apologize then. Well, for the combination, I'd like to say that you better have one weapon that can effectively kill the magician whether it is spear, bow, or magical weapon like fan or cane.

Example1: Zhao Yun is best at Spear and good at Bow an Stick. So I equip him a Stick as the 2nd weapon.

Example2: Xiao Qiao is best at Magical Weapon and good at Bow and Sword. So I equip her a Sword for her 2nd weapon.

If you have character who's main is spear, I recommend pikes and staves as sub-weapons. Spear means that you will always have a strong weapon to use against sorcerers. Staff is excellent choice for taking care of weaponry (except Spinning Blades) and pike (especially cross-pike) is effective against all kinds of soldiers and generals except for sorcerers.

Man its sad then there's nothing for every weapon to deal with Spinning Blades as well, I mean mages go down pretty easy to spear or bow or tech. But i mean in terms of effectiveness looks like there will always be one losing weapon. Man why did they have to make Staff so good :-) Looks like i have to decide with Zhang Liao,Liu Bei

Sun Quan's sword is very good for the Spinning Blades and the best sub weapon I found for him to be useful is Zhang He's claws. The combination may seem weird (and funny) but it helps with his speed and the charge attacks on the claws + arbor orb are good for unblocking officer attacks.

Just use spear to take care Spinning Blades. Even though spear is Yellow against Spinning Blades, but it's fine since you are fast.

Man but that leaves so much repeition, despite how good the Staff/Spear combo is. Im just wondering mainly for the others since Spear is always so versatile, what it lacks is machines and usually without movement based chi's spinning blades will run away after attacking you leaving you doing neutral damage

We can call it CHEATING ENEMY. You must chase while it run and dodge while it attack. I hate this thing too, friend.

The only sub weapon I use as a serious subweapon is the Spear for Lu Meng (Zhao Yun's, because all other spears are utterly useless against enemies in my eyes).

2 good combinations are:
Pike/Tech
Staff/Tech

Tech (preferably Cane) are great against flying weapons and sorcerers.

Pike has advantages against many enemy units, including Weaponry. Staff is similar but is stronger against weaponry than Pike

Both combinations have no weaknesses (no red lock-on) at all

I said that the combinations have no weaknesses, not the weps. Cuz if you switch from staff to tech against animals, you have the advantage again. Same thing with pike.

In fact, both wep's weaknesses are a tech advantage, making them great combinations

So basically Spear and Tech are the greater weapons. What would you use with Sword? Im leaning towards Tech since it helps against Mechs and Sorcerors that are far away especially for people like Liu Bei and Sun Quan but what would you use?

I hate all the tech weapons for the only reason that I can't spam side-dash and fire with it.

Bow is the way to go for me. Side-Dash + constant firing + Adept Orb++ is god xD Plus it works well with Arbor Orb to poison enemy officers before going in for the kill 8D (and it's also damn hard for them to hit you while you're constantly side-dashing without stopping AND firing at the same time xD)

Now im wondering what sub is good for Sword since it takes cares of Light Infantry and Spinning Blades but lacks Tech and Heavy Infantry.

note to all of you since this games difficulty is none ever seen in a dynasty warriors title make sure you level up like crazy and get heck of Arbor orbs Poison, poison, poison!!! it works wonders especially the officer duel missions. oh also keep as many health restorers as you can. this game will tick you off if your not well prepared.

One key pt for choosing a sub weapon is try not to have any red lock on for anything.
Best is to have only blue or green lock on.

Well I played Cao Pi as my main, and I took Bow for a sub. Since Sword's weakness are the sorcerers, Bow would be the most effective counter against them (bow's blue on sorcs). Only problem here would be the annoying mecha weapons, which would only be yellow on Bow. But equipping an Adept Orb++ more or less lessens the frustation with them, as you'll be firing arrows like bees from a nest 8D

Sword kills Spinning Blades. According to the sheet Swords make SPinning Blades take green damage(used to lvl Sun Jian). The main problem is Heavy Infantry

The thing with Spinning Blades is that they like to move a lot, so unless you have a wave ability on your character (Sun Jian's ariel power attack or Cao Pi's fury regular attack), you're either only hitting them 1/4 of the time, or you're getting hit by them. <__>

Well that's me anyway. Maybe I just suckk so I dunno :P But Tech Weapons go green on them. And I'd much rather prefer to stay as far away from them as possible <__>

I use Immortal and Fury Pills so its fine for me. Hitting them with Melee weapons isn't hard with Fury Armor or Trusty Armor+
