By attacking the enemy, your Renbu Gauge will

rise. (If you don't attack, it will decrease.) As your
Renbu Rank increases, your attacks will become
more powerful and you will be able to use even
more attacks. Additionally, if you can continually
attack the enemy without taking damage yourself,
then the number of Renbu attacks will rise. As the
number of Renbu attacks rises, it will be easier
to ll up the Renbu Gauge, so it is important to
try and keep up your Renbu attacks as much as
possible.

Bannermen (soldiers holding ags) have the

The ability raised will be one of the following:
Attack x 2, Defense x 2 or Speed Up.

Musou Mode
All ofcers and troops work in units. If the ofcer

leading a unit is defeated, then that units troops
will be forced to retreat. Additionally, ofcers
assigned to armies may wish to go out on their
own and decide to separate from their current unit.
If this happens, then the strength of their previous
unit will decrease. This can have a great effect on
the battle, so be sure to keep an eye on the battle
messages.
By occupying bases, you will increase the number of locations producing recovery
items, as well as increasing the number of allied soldiers and increasing allied morale.
First, you should check who is controlling the bases on the map before going to battle.
Blue bases are controlled by your allies and red ones are controlled by the enemy.
Entering the Base

A new unit has been formed. What effect will
this have on the battle?
Recovering life
There are two ways to recover your life points.
Obtain a Recovery Item Within a Base
By returning to one of your bases, you can obtain a

recovery item. The item will automatically replenish
itself after a set period of time. Additionally, the larger
the size of the base, the better the quality of the item that
will appear. However, if an enemy ofcer has inltrated
the base, then only Meat Buns will appear.

Occupy As Many Bases As Possible
Units & Independent Ofcers
Normally, the gates to the enemy bases are

closed. By attacking the gates, the Gate Gauge
will decrease and when it reaches empty, the
gate will be destroyed and you can enter the
base. However, there are some gates like Hu
Lao Gate, that are essentially impervious to
your attack and will require you to use rams to
break down (see more on sieges on Pg. 28).
Additionally, if you enter the base by jumping
into it from a higher elevation, you can perform
a Surprise Attack. If you successfully surprise
the enemy, then they will be confused and their
defense will be lowered temporarily.
Occupying the Base

Return to base and recover your life
points.
When the durability of the enemy base reaches

0, then the base will be captured.
WAYS TO DECREASE A BASES DURABILITY
Break Urns to Obtain Recovery Items
It will decrease by 1 for each enemy soldier you defeat within the base
It will decrease by 20 for each Corporal you defeat

If you defeat an enemy ofcer within the base, then it will decrease by the number of soldiers
By breaking the urns that are set throughout the stage,

you may nd some recovery items within them. Urns
are often set near checkpoints as well as the edges of the
stage.

* Guard Captains will not appear until the durability of the base reaches 100 or lower. Also, they will not appear in smaller
bases.
Unable to Recover?
Try and save the urns for when you
really need them.
Within your own bases, when you take a

recovery item, it will be replaced after a set
amount of time. If it does not replenish, then it
may be due to one of the following reasons.
Did you just pick up an item?
Are you in a base like a watchpost that does not have recovery
items?
