Dynasty Warriors Origins: All Crescent Blades and Crescent Blade Arts

The Crescent Blade is one of the 10 weapon types in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. It is a long spear-like weapon that offers wide AoE attacks, allowing you to easily sweep through the battlefield. The Crescent Blade is unlocked during the [Chapter 3: Rescue of Emperor Xian] mission. Depending on which forces you decide to join, there will be three ways for you to unlock the weapon. If you join the Cao Cao forces, you can get the weapon from enemy drops in the battle to rescue Emperor Xian. If you join the Sun Jian forces, you can get the weapon from enemy drops in the battle to escape from Danyang. And if you join the Liu Bei forces, you will get the weapon after defeating Cao Cao and rescuing Lu Bu. There are a total of 9 Crescent Blades and 9 Crescent Blade Arts. Details for each can be found in the lists below.
