THOSE WHOM I THANK L. HOW TO REACH ME! A. INTRODUCTION! ----------------------------------------------------------- Hiya! This is my very first actual FAQ I’m making. Please don't scold me if I suck or anything. This FAQ is basically what I think of Nobunaga in WO, arguably the best character on the horse. About Me: I love playing all types of games. I like to always be with anyone, even online. Feel Free to add me on MSN if you wish. (Details at last section). I'd love to also help anyone in need. (Details at last section) B.

ABOUT NOBUNAGA ODA IN WO ----------------------------------------------------------- In Warriors Orochi, Nobunaga Oda, the Demon King, wants to take down Orochi, the demon. He is aided by Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Mitsuhide Akechi (of all the people..). Throughout the story, he gains valuable allies, like Guan Ping, and amass an army rivaling Orochi. If you need to know about Nobunaga Oda’s history, you can type “Nobunaga Oda” in wikipedia. There’s very detailed information about him there. D. UNLOCKING NOBUNAGA ODA ----------------------------------------------------------- That is a very difficult task to do, unless you already have a copy of this game in your PS2/Xbox360. Load game and there you have it! He's unlocked at the start! E. NOBUNAGA'S MOVESET ----------------------------------------------------------- Normal Attacks S - Diagonal left slash. SS - S+ Right horizontal slash. SSS - SS+ Diagonal left slash again. Sx8 - SSS+ 4 alternating diagonal upwards left and right slashes ending with a finishes with a 360 degrees slash. Jump +S - A downward angled horizontal slash to the right. Run +S - A horizontal slash to the right. Charge Attacks TTT - Nobunaga lifts himself up, charges a ball of dark energy in his left palm and sends it to the ground, causing a shockwave to the area in front of him. Pressing T will make Nobunaga lift himself up higher, causing a bigger area effect and more damage. STTT - S+ An upward diagonal slash to the right. Pressing T will, if it hits an opponent, Nobunaga will leap into the air do a 360 degrees slash and if you press T again, continue slashing the enemy 4-5 more times and then finally slashes them downward into the ground which sends any enemies near flying backwards. SSTTT - SS+ Nobunaga does a 720 degrees slash. Pressing T would make him jump a small height and punch the ground with dark energy. Pressing T one last time would make Nobunaga do a drill attack like M. Bison in SF games with dark energy. SSSTTT - SSS+ Nobunaga charges up dark energy and blasts it like Nightmare in SC3. Pressing T (up to two times) would make him charge longer but deal more damage. Jump +S - Nobunaga thrusts his sword downwards to the ground.(Great with STTT) On Horse: S - He slashes right... SS - ..and again.. SSS - ...yet again.. Sx8 - ...and 4-5 more times to the right. ST - S+ Upward right slash. SST - SS+ Downward right slash. SSST - SSS+ Charges dark energy and releases.(like in SSSTTT) T - Horse uses forward two legs and whacks the ground. Run + T - Horse jumps up and slams down. R1 specials: R1 - Nobunaga quickly releases a small dark energy orb which reacts to charge attacks. S+R1 - Faster version of STTT, with more slashes while in mid-air. SS+R1 - Again, a faster version of SSTTT. SSS+R1 - Faster version of SSSTTT. Musou: O - Nobunaga does very fast left to right slashes, while levitating. He ends with a diagonal slash to the right with a shockwave. True Musou O - He starts off by saying "Do you dare to resist me?". Nobunaga does very fast left to right slashes, while levitating. Then, he does two 360 degrees slashes to the left and right, does a slash to the right and ends with a diagonal slash to the right with a shockwave, saying "then you dare to die!" Others: L1 - Block L1 +Left Analog Stick - Block while moving (Same applies to the horse) F. NOBUNAGA'S WEAPONS ----------------------------------------------------------- 1st Weapon ----------------------------- King's Sword Base Attack: 9 2nd Weapon ----------------------------- King's Rage Base Attack: 18 3rd Weapon ----------------------------- Demon Slayer Base Attack: 37 4th Weapon ----------------------------- Demon Regalia Base Attack: 75 Note: As usual, to get 4th Weapons, play on Chaos Mode, or 3 star or higher battles on Hard Mode. G. NOBUNAGA'S ABILITIES : ----------------------------------------------------------- ========================================= Boost - Kill 60 Strategy: No need ========================================= Fortitude -Within 12 minutes from start, kill 3 officers Strategy: Abuse STTT or SR1 ========================================= Acclaim - Without performing any moves using the Musou gage, keep life 50%+ and kill 3 officers Strategy: Same as above ========================================= Focus - Within 6 minutes from start, kill 180. Strategy: Anything but STTT or SR1 will work best ========================================= H. NOBUNAGA'S SPECIAL EFFECTS ----------------------------------------------------------- These are the rough explanations of the Special Effects in the game. Fire - Damages enemy until he/she touches the ground. Does not work with Ice. Ice - Target freezes for a while. Does not works best with Air element. Bolt - Increased range of attacks. Flash - Breaks guard. Slay - Increased damage to generals, insta-kills to peons. Drain - Heal when you attack opponents. Absorb - Replenish Musou when you attack opponents. Air - Extra damage against airborne targets. Not a good idea to use with Ice element. Brave - Extra attack power against an Officer. Range - Increased range. Does not work on some. Multi - Clones appear and deal extra damage. Agility - Increased attack speed. Bugged on some chars. Might - Increase the attack power. Rage - Doubles damage when low in health. Basically, this is what the skill would compare with Nobunaga's move set: Fire - Don't bother. Ice - Moves do a lot of moving, not so useful. Bolt - Must to increase range, duh. Flash - Must for almost every char. Slay - Must for almost every char. Drain - Only useful to keep him alive longer. Absorb - Good with Tech character. Air - Good for one with quite a couple Air skills. Brave - Other better skills. Range - Doesn't affect. Multi - Quite useful. Agility - Few moves will be bugged. Might - Useful. Rage - Useless. My recommendation for the selection would be: 1. Bolt, Flash, Slay, Drain, Absorb, Air, Multi, Agility : May looks like it lack of strength, but with SSSTTT move, will able to kill generics in one hit. 2. Bolt, Flash, Slay, Air, Brave, Multi, Agility, Might : Maximum Strength, again with SSSTTT. ----------------------------------------------------------- I. NOBUNAGA'S PERSONAL ITEM : (Taken from KW's Mr. Honda Personal Items Guide) Nobunaga Oda (Sengoku Story 1) • Defeat Cao Ren (before he talks). • Rush through Guan Ping (try not to go through the castle) • Defeat the soldiers (not generals) in the middle area. • Defeat the soldiers on the left side & top left (where Mitsunari + generics are), try to prevent them from meeting with Huang Zhong, you can defeat the generics but do not defeat Mitsunari. • After you defeat 500 meet with Huang Zhong. Note: You should be able to get 500 by defeating the soldiers in the middle area, west side & top left, just remember do not defeat the guard captains. J.
