  The characters from the 3DS version (Hyrule Warriors Legends) will also be available on the Wii U version. Currently, the only known information is that there is some sort of transfer option. No word on if these characters will be available as a stand-alone DLC or if buying the 3DS version is your only option. Hyrule Warriors is a Legend of Zelda spin-off game for the Wii U that was released on the 19th of September 2014, the 20th of September 2014, the 26th of September 2014 and the 14th of August 2014 in Europe, Australia, North America and Japan respectively. It combines the action of Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors series with the world of The Legend of Zelda, and is being developed by Nintendo and Koei Tecmo. I like Zelda, should I play this game? Maybe. It's not a traditional Zelda game so you'll be disappointed if that's what you were hoping for - It doesn't have any of the dungeon exploring and adventure aspect. But it does let you hack and slash through hordes of enemies with characters from various Zelda games and is a ton of fun. Considering the rather lack-luster library of the Wii U I'd definitely recommend this game for anyone looking for something new to play on it. Second post contains NNIDs for adventure mode sharing & more detailed strategies/combo usage for specific characters Game modes
Basic Gameplay Stuff You have light attacks, and strong attacks, the buttons will differ depending on if you selected Zelda or Warriors control scheme. Combos typically a string of basic attacks followed by a strong attack. Outside of the odd adventure mode map, every level has keeps and outposts that you can take control of. Keeps are captured by killing dudes in the keep till the bar goes down, at which point you need to kill the keep guardian. Outposts can be taken by killing the outpost guard. Both Outposts and Keeps spawn dudes for you. If friendly captains or characters get low enough health to trigger their "in danger" state - they will get a green circle around them, just run into and it will heal them up. Every big enemy and boss has a "weak point" - for big dudes and enemy heroes, you just need to wait for them to use a certain move to open up the weak point (a circle will show above their head,) smash them till it breaks (may take multiple weak point reveals) and you'll do a move that does extra damage. Bosses generally need to be hit with a item at the right time to reveal the weak point, and you pretty much need to use the weak point if you want to do any damage. Characters & Weapons Unlock Guide

Ibram Gaunt posted:I'm hoping the adventure mode maps being added as DLC are their own map overlay and not just the same map with diff item/unlock placements. I'm expecting the adventure modes for the DLCs to be the world map from that game, with the various locations being the nodes. I'm kinda curious to exactly what sort of unlocks they'll even use to fill out the adventure mode maps - for the Master Quest DLC, it's only going to have one new weapon, so that's like, 3 rewards (one for each rank.) It'd be a bit lame if it was just a big grid and like 5 worthwhile unlocks.

Sakurazuka posted:My least favourite weapon so far has to be the Baton, unfortunately, I was looking forwards to it but it seems to have the critical flaw of no range and no mobility, unless I was using it wrong. I haven't played with it enough, but it feels like it has potential, and it probably just felt weak because I only had a rank 1 baton vs. a rank 2 rapier. Sort of the key piece with the baton is just about every move is influenced by the control stick - like the fire rod's flame thrower, you can turn while using certain combos. Also, a strong attack outside of combo creates a whirlwind you can steer to gather up enemies. The combo that makes the music bars has decent range too. I think my least favourite weapon so far is the Deku Spear. It's just too immobile compared to the book and and I really don't like the special.

I just got a Lv3. Fire Rod with 5 Stars and 6 Slots from doing a buddy mission.  Orange Crush Rush posted:Why does Ghiarhim need to stop and laugh while fixing his hair for 2 minutes after every single attack you do as him Yeah, I'm trying to figure him out. If you use a strong attack out of a combo he seems to mark an enemy with a beam to it, but I don't know what that does. You can also follow up some combos by pressing strong a few more times and he'll do poo poo like snap his fingers and summon a posse of minions.

But I've also had Network Links show up on my map that aren't on my buddy list, so I don't know if buddy list dudes have better rewards. e: Gonna start adding people to the second post soon

There's also a character for the Twilight Princess DLC. I'm really curious as to who they could pull for that, Twilight Princess Midna seems like the obvious answer. Also the weapon so better be the Spinner.

I think Oxyclean got a 5-star rank 3 flame rod from doing one of my missions. It says the person you complete the mission for gets a bonus too, but I haven't had anything like that come up for me. I got a message the other day that a friend helped me and I think I got 50k Rupees + an "experience bonus" or something.

With the exception of Lana, it kinda feels like all the Tecmo characters take a backseat, what with them not being playable until the DLC. I think a worse developer would have thrown in Zelda, Link, Shiek and maybe one or two other Zelda characters and filled the rest of the roster with new characters rather then trying to think of clever ways to make existing Zelda characters work. That said I like how Lana plays but boy do I hate her vocalizations.

On the kill x in 10 minutes, reinforcements show up every 100 kills, so keep that mind if you're moving around a lot. I've had the most luck just evading bosses and taking down generals only if I can kill them fast/kill lots of mooks while doing so.

Bicyclops posted:edit: Do you get experience at all in Adventure Mode? I've been assuming no, but I suppose it's possible you get tiny amounts. You absolutely do - I haven't the foggiest about how it all works but I'm certainly getting levels on some of my characters. I'm guessing you just don't see that much xp from non-adventure missions (the ones where you have to cap keeps & beat the enemy commander) - in particular I have to assume the "all attacks are deadly" give massively reduced XP (and barely have any drops.)

greatn posted:If you use a weapon with stars as a source weapon, does the base weapon get the stars? Nope. So wait until you have a 5 star weapon if you have some really good properties you want to transfer. On a similar note, does anyone know if you can stack the same property? I'm pretty sure it has let me put multiple of the same property on a weapon, but I have no idea if you actually get the benefit. Just having one +exp feels pretty nice/noticeable.

In general, I always find it mildly irritating/funny that characters are nigh-useless when you're not playing them. Jesus Fi, I just captured 3 bases, killed some captains, an enemy hero, and I come back to base to find out you can't fend off a moblin or two? I assume the whole point of Warriors games is you're the powerhouse that mows stuff down, and it would probably be a lot less fun if NPCs started taking all your kills.

Man, Lana's level 2 summon circle mission is pissing me off. No matter what I do the home base ends up absolutely mobbed by both forces so hard I can barely leave base. If I can manage to not lose the home base, I either end up taking enough chip damage from the million poes and stalmasters or take more then 15 minutes. Two-enemy faction missions are seriously lame from a mechanics perspective: they get moral boosts when you kick one faction's rear end, but never seem to actually fight the other faction. Nor do they ever seem to lose the morale boost even when you start whooping them.

Is there some magical way to convince Sheik not to commit suicide on the Lake Hylia gold skulltula mission? I have a checkpoint before King Dodongo shows up, but no matter how many bases I own or how many enemies I clear out, Shiek finds some way to get clobbered by minions/Zelda. Even if I leave the dodongo fight to heal her, she ends up getting killed before I can finish the boss off.

Ughhh, I literally just lost a quiz mission because Agitha couldn't stop getting in the way of my attacks with her pathetic health pool. Also, does Zant even have a weak point? He does special moves for days and never has a drat weak seal come up.

Bicyclops posted:I'm still chipping away at things but I still haven't quite gotten the hang of Agitha and I actively refuse to play any mission where A-ranking someone gets a piece of heart for someone with anyone but that person, so it'll be awhile before I ever get to Zant, who is surrounded by Agitha stuff. I kinda find Gannondorf kinda weak for harder stuff. I just can't get away with using his specials because they have such long animations (even without holding down the button) where he's vulnerable. I have a "defeat the enemies" mission that I'm not touching because the first arena has two little imprisoned and one big one and I just can't avoid taking craploads of damage. He totally wrecks mook hordes though. I don't remember having issues with his level 2, his level 3 was fairly tough but not such that it wasn't easily overcome with extra levels. As for weapon unlock missions, I think I only have the level 3 missions for Ghriahim, Zant, Ruto, Darunia, Agitha and Lana's gate, Also Lana's level 2 gate. Haven't tried Ghirahims or Zants, I missed A on Ruto's by just a bit because Zant is an rear end who never exposes his seal and just kept getting pokes off on me. Agithas I've only had one good try, and I think I only missed the time requirement despite the fact it felt like I took way too much damage. (I swear Agitha takes more damage then any other character.) Darunia's is a pain in the rear end because of those hp sponge moblins but I think I just need to capture the right keeps to keep them out of my base longer. Lana's level 2 gate still alludes me, possibly because I'm refusing to use the level 1 gate, but it certainly feels like I'm killing plenty fast with my level 3 book, I just can't leave the base alone long enough to get poo poo done.

I don't really mind the quizzes, except when it's two generals at a time with a ton of HP that refuse to move apart. It's a nice change of pace from the swath of "do it under 15 minutes with 1200 KOs" adventure battles. Particularly the ones involving cuccos in any shape or form.

And on the flip side, they just give you access to level 2 and 3 Epona for free. You think that'd be the thing (maybe even rank 1 too) they'd make as an unlock in the adventure mode.

Is it my imagination, or did I see a "all attacks are devastating, don't take damage" mission? Also, already not a fan of "Don't take damage" - I got one for a "kill the enemies" mission that ends with a battle with a poe, agitha and midna.

ImpAtom posted:Devastating attacks are not an insta-kill, they just take you down to minimal health so that makes sense. But the same case is for "don't take damage" missions, I took several hits on one because I was able to pick up a few hearts between hits. Granted I didn't finish the mission but I assume it's like the devastating attacks thing where you're guaranteed to get a B/C in damage taken.
