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 ===WO2CG====================================================================== 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. ===WO2CG====================================================================== 4.) Playing as Toshiie Maeda |-----------------------| |4a.)

Then a series of horizontal slash with his sword alternating from left to right three times and a horizontal slash to the right with his left spear Special (R1) - Toshiie will grab one enemy and throw the enemy far away. It�s similar to Lu Bu *Note: Toshiie�s special attack uses musou |-----------------------| |4b.)

Weapons| |------------| Toshiie Maeda uses two spears and a spiky sword. Here it�s weapon name and it�s base strength: Training Blades : Base Strength 10 Strength And Loyalty : Base Strength 20 Valor And Trust : Base Strength 40 Dragon�s Bite : Base Strength 80 |--------------| |4d.) Abilities| |--------------| Toshiie Maeda has 3 skills : Refill (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 ===WO2CG====================================================================== 6.) Others 6a.)
