==============================================================================


So, welcome to my first FAQ. I decided to create this FAQ about abilities
because there isn't one on GameFAQs, and when I played the first Warriors
Orochi, I found it to be quite handy. Of course, you'll want to play every 
character anyway, so you'll get the abilities in the end, but with this 
guide you'll be able to get your most wanted abilities a bit faster.

Version 1.2 (02/01/2009)

Edited the list of characters to reflect their in-game order.
Also did this for the characters per abilities list.


Version 1.1 (01/28/2009)

Added permissions of sites that can use this FAQ.



Version 1.0 (01/24/2009)

Finished listing the abilities of every character. Should be everything.




==============================================================================
About Abilities                                                          [ABA]
==============================================================================


Abilities are gained by completing certain requirements while playing
with a character. The requirements can be viewed in the Team Info tab
in the Camp window, from there select the character you wish to view,
and then select Ability Acquisition. You will now see the next ability
to be learned with a description, and the requirements.

You can also view this while fighting a battle, simply go to the 
Team Info tab in the menu (press 'Start'), then select Team Info,
the character you wish to view, and Ability Acquisition.
You will see the same thing as before the battle, but now you'll
also see what's left for you to do to get the ability.

Abilities you equip will apply to all characters in your team. You might want
to keep this in mind when thinking about equipping Power, Speed or Technique,
since this will only boost the attack of the respective type of character.

Abilities can be gained in any level, on any difficulty. You can do it in
Story mode, or in Free mode, it won't matter. What does matter is that
kills you need for an objective have to be made with that specific character.
For example, if you're playing with Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, and you
want Guan Yu's first ability, Potence, you'll have to kill the required
3 officers with Guan Yu. Only then will it count.

Abilities will stack up. So, if you already gained Vitality with one
character, getting it with an additional character will level up the ability
to level 2, etcetera.

==============================================================================
Characters and their respective abilities                              [CLIST]
==============================================================================


Depending on the character you're playing with, you can either unlock 3 or 4
abilities. There's a total of 325 abilities to be unlocked with 94 characters,
so expect to be busy with this for quite a while. But if you're after getting
everything done (completist, hell yeah!), there's a Wallpaper Editor to be
gotten if you play with all characters at least once, so hey, at least you're
working towards something. And of course the achievement for getting a total
ability level of 150 also helps.

Only one ability will be gainable per battle per character. Kills made on one
character will not count towards the goals of another character on your team.
When you complete the requirement, and have won the battle, the next one will
be available to be gotten. That's why there's this order of 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4.
The stage or difficulty you're playing on have no effect whatsoever, so you
can even play on Chaos if you want, but just keep in mind that requirements
such as killing 6 officers within 8 minutes will be a bit...tougher then.

When the requirement is 'without using any Musou attacks', you can't
use -any- attacks using the Musou bar. So no special attack or counterattack.
Not even when you have the infinite Musou item, since when using the Musou 
it instantly restores itself, it isn't free of cost. 
However, when using a Speed character, your specials will be free of cost,
so you can still use those without worrying (tested it myself).

Shin Orochi (Orochi X), Dodomekki and Gyuki have no abilities, since they're
multiplayer-only characters.

Characters per ability                                                  [CPAL]
==============================================================================


The number between brackets is the number of the skill of the character. For
example, (1) means it's the first skill of that character he is able to
learn.
And to make it -really- easy to see what you have to do before being able to 
max an ability, I decided to add the stages per ability you need to complete
to unlock the characters needed to max that ability. Might come in handy I 
figured.

Well, this was my FAQ, I hope it will be or has been of much use to you.
If you have any questions or remarks about this guide, feel free to e-mail me,
but since this guide is only about abilities, and since abilities are pretty
straight-forward, I don't think there will be many. But feel free anyway.
Be sure to fill in 'Warriors Orochi 2 question/remark' in the subject field,
any other e-mails will automatically go to Junk.


Thanks for KOEI for once again making a pretty great game, though I'm still
hoping for that one game which will feature the voices in Japanese (or Chinese
for Dynasty Warriors), and English text. It would make the game so much 
better, at least in my opinion.

Credits for skills of the characters from Warriors Orochi 1 (they're the same
as in Warriors Orochi 2) go to opfer_gv, great work dude! ^^
Credits for skills of the new characters go to AshenSky, thanks! ^^
Credits on how to unlock characters go to "ste123u".
