1.) Introduction

Thank you for reading this guide. This is my first guide for GameFAQs. If you
have any questions or comments, you can ask me on the board or e-mail me.
This guide is about weapon setup and a best strategies for combats and
others. I hope everyone can read and understand since English is not my main
language in my country. Even I only got 70% for my grammar. So, I really need
your comments and suggestions. Feel free to e-mail me or ask me on the board

2.) Toshiie Maeda�s Bio and History

Toshiie is the seventh son of Toshimasa Maeda, born at 1538-1599. He serves
faithfully Nobunaga Oda And Hideyoshi Toyotomi until his and the former�s
dying day. He was known as the Master of Yari (Japanese Spear) and named Yari
No Mataza (Mataza of the Spear). Toshiie became more famous after joining most
of important battles, such as Tetorigawa and Anegawa. He went on to serve
Hideyoshi and continued his support for Hideyoshi in Battle of Komaki-Nagakute
and became an esteemed member of Hideyoshi's council.

He has a close relationship with other named warriors such as Katsuie Shibata,
Mitsuhide Akechi and Kinoshita Tokichiro. Toshiie was named by Hideyoshi as
one Of The Toyotomi Five Regents. Unfortunately, he died mere a year after
receiving that name.

In Warriors Orochi 2, Toshiie doesn�t play a big role here. Only in Ji Castle,
he was surrounded by a numerous army of Sima Yi along Magoichi Saika.

===WO2CG======================================================================
3.) Why Toshiie?

Toshiie is one of my favorites. Reasons? Well, he�s COOL. He got two spears
and scary looking sword. Although he has a pretty sad movesets (That�s my
opinion) and difficult to control him, he�s still one of my favorites. Believe
me. You�ll never regret if you add him in your teammate after trying his
musou. Pretty similar to Nagamasa but he�s two times faster than him and you
could kill an officer in a flash. Toshiie is a Power category character.

      (Defeat 60 Enemies)
    Cavalier 
      (Defeat 70 enemies, including 3 officers)
    Karma 
      (Defeat 100 enemies while maintaining 50% life without using musou)

|---------------|
|4e.) Strategies|
|---------------|

Strategies is a new feature in Warriors Orochi 2. Gamers should fulfill the
requirements to activate characters strategies. Yes. Each character has one
strategies and gamers can execute those strategies anytime.

Face Off - Reduces the damage inflicted upon all allied forces

Requirement � Defeat 300 enemies

You know what it means. Reduce the damage of all allied officers and troops.
It�s quite tough to get 300 kills in low level but when you�re strong enough,
300 kills shouldn�t be a problem to you. We�re WARRIORS!

|---------------|
|4f.) Teammate  |
|---------------|

Yes! Maybe Toshiie needs help from his friends when he's in trouble. Here's
the list of characters that are match to Toshiie:

Sun Jian - His R1! Remember?
Sun Wukong - The next Mr. Transporter
Keiji Maeda

Why Sun Jian?

Sun Jian's R1 can convert his life into a 10 second Musou. So,
it's pretty useful for Toshiie's musou. Imagine Orochi being whipped by
Toshiie for 10 seconds plus your musou gauge. Yummy!

Why Sun Wukong?

Please. Don't make me laugh. You know he got his magic cloud and it's faster
than Red Hare. So, ask Wukong if you ever need a lift. Plus, he's GOD when
maxed. So, if you're into trouble, time to add another notch to Mr. Whacky!

Why Keiji Maeda?

Keiji Maeda is not necessary. Only if you're in a tight spot, his R1 can send
the enemies into Mars lol, but I think Wukong is enough to deal the trouble
makers.

===WO2CG======================================================================
5.) Weapon Setup

Okay. Here�s the most important of all. A GOOD WEAPON SETUP! I found that
Toshiie can be used in two types: Crowd cleaner or Dueler (1 vs 1 or with
officers). Let�s start with the crowd cleaner.

I always use his C4 to push the enemies away. If you�re lucky, you could use
Bolt element and kill all enemies at once. Of course Range is needed. How can
you make lots of KO counts when you can only kill some enemies? �Crush them in
one blow�.

Yeah. This is what you�re waiting for. The God thing, Almighty (Or Tenbu). 
Personally, Almighty Lv.3 and Stability Lv.3 are perfect for him as a crowd
cleaner. I�m not sure about Supremacy Lv.3 but I guess Evasion Lv.2 is better.
Why Stability? Because you wouldn�t want to get hit while playing in Chaos as
a crowd cleaner doing the charge attacks. Stability or Evasion I�ll try to fix
it.

Here are the list that are must

--------------------------
| Elements  |  Almighty  |
|-----------|------------|
|  Bolt     |  Almighty  |
|  Range    |  Stability |
|  Flash    |  Supremacy |
|  Might    |            |
|  Drain    |            |
|  Agility  |            |
|  Slay     |            |
|   -       |            |
--------------------------

Additional / Not Necessary:

--------------------------
| Elements  |  Almighty  |
|-----------|------------|
|           | Evasion    |
|           | Guile      |
--------------------------

Mission accomplished! Nope, we still have a Dueler. Hail to Toshiie�s Musou.

Trust me. His musou is a BIG help when you�re in trouble. It could do fast and
high damage. For the elements, Drain is a must. Slay could help you deal more
damage to opponents. Like I said, his musou is very important. So, add Absorb
to fill up your musou. Flash is also a great help to break enemies� guards. I
still remember I was pissed off and my blood pressure gone up just because my
enemies kept blocking and when I added Flash, rock on baby!

As for the Tenbu, I�m having a hard time to choose which is the best and I
ended up with Almighty Lv.3 and Supremacy Lv.3. The last one? I can�t choose
which I want, so I added Verity Lv.2 for fun lol.

Here�s the list
--------------------------
| Elements  |  Almighty  |
|-----------|------------|
|  Brave    |  Almighty  |
|  Ice      |  Stability |
|  Flash    |  Verity    |
|  Might    |            |
|  Drain    |            |
|  Agility  |            |
|  Slay     |            |
|  Absorb   |            |
--------------------------

Additional:

--------------------------
| Elements  |  Almighty  |
|-----------|------------|
|  Range    |            |
|  Multi    |            |
|  Flash    |            |
--------------------------

Tips-If you�re playing as a Crowd Cleaner, try to save your musou if you can
take care of your opponent like lieutenants, boars or others. In that way, you
could save his musou for emergencies or dealing with freaks like Lu Bu or
Orochi.

*Note - I have tested all of these in Chaos difficulty but I feel I need some
        corrections. It�s 80% perfect. Please give your opinion about this.
        I�ll try to do another experiment
