This guide was made by Buster Wolf.
This will list the requirements to get the characters Lv. 10 weapon as well as strategy if one is needed.
- The characters weapon must be Lv. 9.
- The difficulty must be set to Hard.
- These can be done in free mode where the territory is mentioned to find the stage or musou mode. Some can only be obtained in musou mode, namely 3 from Shu (Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao & Jiang Wei) & Zhang Liao in Lu Bu's musou mode.
- In cases where sub officers are involved if you defeat the main officer, but still manage to defeat the sub officer who is nearby before they retreat it will still meet the requirement.
- If using 2 players as long as one player meets the requirements the weapon will appear.
- Be careful if using the Lightning Orb for elemental attacks as it can take your kill which won't count for weapons.
- I never mention what Harness to use, but it will always be Shadow Harness due to not being knocked off when struck.
- If using mixjoy with 4:XL these become harder due to the improved AI, so decide between the two methods.

Easing the AI
Finding weapon hard to get due to the AI being too aggressive (which they can be specially for those using mixjoy)? Here's a way to make them less aggressive making these be easier.
Start the stage on Hard (or Expert for Mixjoy) and make a save immediately, go to the options and change the difficulty to Easy (or Beginner for Mixjoy) and start a different stage with any character. After the stage has loaded in battle soft reset (Start+Select) and go back and continue to your original save, enemies will now be more passive.
