It seems like one graceful Koei dev from the 2000s thought it was a brilliant idea to keep the spawn mechanic from DW2, so some chars are preferable than others.

It’s not super hard to figure out, but sometimes Pang DEEZ, got better spawn points and sometimes MA CHEESE got better spawn points. No ghost rider though

I’m routing the any% for legend, there’s a very good run by Inazuma eleven cowjia but there’s evident room for improvement. Dynasty Warriors 5XL is a fairly developed game strat-wise, but I can’t find these strats documented anywhere so I’m inviting the entire musou community to document their findings, no matter how obvious they may seem. Any insight is welcome.
