In Dynasty Warriors: Origins, you primarily play as the Wanderer, striving for peace. The main story offers branching paths, and companions frequently join you in battle. While they remain at your side, you can occasionally assume control. Companions are exceptionally powerful, often surpassing the Wanderer's effectiveness, even with upgrades. Here's how to switch characters:
Character switching is only possible during battles where you have a companion. Before a battle, the war council menu offers your companion as a final option; however, you cannot select them here. You cannot switch to companions during the war council. Once the battle begins, your companion's health bar appears in the bottom right, above your own.
Below their health bar is a blue meter, similar to your Musou gauge. This meter fills as you fight, faster with:
Most combat actions contribute to filling this meter, albeit at varying speeds.
Once full, a "Change Character" button appears beside the meter. Press and hold this button for approximately one second to switch. This is the View button on Xbox, C on PC, or the Touchpad on PlayStation.
Switching characters should be strategically timed for the midst of intense combat. Companions are exceptionally strong, and control is limited to roughly one minute. The blue meter, used to initiate the switch, gradually depletes, indicating the remaining control time. Your new character will begin with full Bravery and a range of effective combat arts.
The character switch initiates with a powerful attack. Aim carefully at an enemy. Your companion will also have a full Musou gauge and health bar, allowing immediate use of their special attack to overwhelm foes.
