For the sword/wrath of heaven youll want to jump into the battle of xiapi playing as cao cao on hard difficulty, where defeating zhang liao quickly is your first priority before stopping gao shun from reaching the dam. Getting good at taking down officers fast makes a huge difference here especially if youre aiming for perfect timing

Moving to the storm sword in xtreme legends, your focus should be the pacification of jing province where timing is everything. Lu meng and lu xun need to go down within 6 minutes, and knowing the fastest path between them really helps since every second counts. Maybe interesting - keeping your combo chains going between officers saves precious time

For the really ambitious players going after origins top weapons like the rampaging luan, youll need to tackle lu bu at hulao gate on ultimate warrior difficulty which is no small task. The story mode unlocks different weapon types as you progress, and specific officers like jia xu tend to drop unique gear when defeated. Good to know that some missions have strict time limits or special requirements, so paying attention to the victory conditions before jumping in saves some frustration later on
