Bravery allows you to use Battle Arts or abilities in Dynasty Warriors Origins and is a crucial resource you'll consume and gain during a battle. These will be represented by small Hexagons above your health bar. Each battle art you learn whether by interacting with NPCs scattered throughout the map or other ways will require you to use a certain number of these Bravery points to use them.

As you progress your Proficiency Rank, you will be able to unlock more Bravery slots, which will allow you to use better Special Arts that consume more of this resource.

How to restore Bravery

You will not get back Bravery over time and instead it can be restored by performing various actions and using consumables. Here are all the ways to restore them in Dynasty Warriors Origins.

• Getting more KOs during a battle slowly restores your Bravery. If you are running low during a battle against a big army, try to focus on the fodder enemies first to get it back and then you can engage officers and bosses.
• Perfectly Parrying also gives you back some of your Bravery back. Same goes for if you perfectly evade an enemy attack using your dodge button
• Consumable items such as Stamina Potion can also be used to gain back your Bravery gauges in Dynasty Warriors Origins
• Oftentimes, enemies will drop containers consisting of Nectar Waters. Picking them up also gives you back some of your Bravery.

Keep in mind that defeating enemies using Arts that consume Bravery points will not restore it. Instead, you will need to rely on items and normally kill enemies to get it back. Bravery is restored over the course of the battle so it is highly advisable that you unleash powerful Special Arts to take down big groups of enemies and take out as much of the enemy forces as you can.

Doing so will allow you to gain more Skill Points in Dynasty Warriors Origins that can be used to unlock new abilities.
