This is my first guide and it's all about Toshiie and a perfect way to customize his weapon and also other better strategies to play as Toshiie. There are also dialogues for fun. I hope everyone can read and understand since English is not my main language in my country. So, I really need your comments and suggestions. Feel free to e-mail me or ask me on the board. Note that all of these strategies and weapon setups are my style. Probably useful to some players and if you don't like it, you can press alt+F4 now. ===WO2CG====================================================================== 2.) Toshiie Maeda’s Bio and History Below is Toshiie's history and lifetime *Taken from Sengoku Jidai Database* 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. He fights with Magoichi to defeat Sima Yi. ===WO2CG====================================================================== 3.) Why Toshiie? Personally, I liked Toshiie because he's cool. He got two spears and a spiky sword. His movesets aren't that bad and not too difficult to control. His C4 and C6 are pretty useful to push peons if you're in a tight situation. I bet you'll love Toshiie when you play as him and press the Circle button. I mean, MUSOU. It's similiar to Nagamasa but it's two times faster. If you have maxed him out, enemy officers will gone in flash. Toshiie is a Power category character. He is fun to play with. ===WO2CG====================================================================== 4.) Playing as Toshiie Maeda |-----------------------| |4a.) Movesets (On Land)| |-----------------------| S - A horizontal slash to the right with his sword SS - A horizontal slash to the left his sword SSS - A horizontal slash to the left his sword SSSS - A spinning diagonally upward slash with his sword to the left.

Pressing triangle again, Toshiie will perform diagonally downward slash with the other spear to the left SSSSSSST - Jumps up and stabs the ground with both spears, sending out a ground energy wave SSSSSSSST - Runs forward and twirls both spears off to the side. Jump Attack - A downward slash with his sword to the right Jump Charge - Stabs the ground, causing the ground explode Dash Attack - A downward slash with his sword to the right Musou - Unleash an aura around him to stun enemies And begins to stab quickly with his two spears. Toshiie will stand in one place when performing musou True Musou - Unleash an aura around him to stun enemies and begins to stab quickly with his two spears. 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 must fulfill the requirements to activate characters strategies. Yes. Each character has one strategies and gamers can execute those strategies anytime to help themselves from trouble. 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. Why? Because we are WARRIORS! |---------------| |4f.) Teammate | |---------------| Yes! Maybe Toshiie needs help from his friends when he's in trouble. Here's some warriors that can help Toshiie: Sun Jian - His R1! Remember? Sun Wukong - The next Mr. Transporter Keiji Maeda - Brother? 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. 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. Sun Jian bores me sometimes so I add Keiji for fun. ===WO2CG====================================================================== 5.) Weapon Setup (Updated) Okay. Here’s the most important of all. A GOOD WEAPON SETUP! I have found that Toshiie can be used as 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’. Slay and Rage are useful here, so don't forget. Yeah. This is what you’re waiting for, right? The God thing, Almighty. Personally, Resolve Lv.2 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. And don't forget to add Resolve here or your mood will change dramatically. Here's the list: -------------------------- | Elements | Almighty | |-----------|------------| | Bolt | Resolve | | Range | Stability | | Flash | Evasion | | Might | | | Rage | | | Agility | | | Slay | | | Brave | | -------------------------- *Note - C4, C8 and C6 is good for crowd cleaning, especially when Range is max. But I have to say that C4 is the best to wipe all enemies around you. C6 is not so bad either. C8 or C5 is only to wash enemies in front of you (In group). Mission accomplished! Nope, we still have a Dueler. Imagine a horde of officers surrounds you and give absolutely no chance to attack, one thing in your mind, Revival. Charge attacks like C4 is quite useful for this kind of situation. If you're facing more than two officers, use C6 to buy some time and concentrate each at a time. Don't forget to add Range and Flash. Slay, Brave and Might is a must. It'll help you increase your damage. I don't recommend Multi, because maybe sometimes you will miss some attacks, giving your opponents a high chance to counter attack. It's up to you. I thought it would be good if Toshiie can use his musou to kill enemy officer quickly. Sadly, it works only once and you have to recharge your musou gauge. Troublesome, isn't it? Charge attacks is the only way. Wait a minute! I am totally forgotten about Sun Jian. His R1! Hiyah and grind the enemy officers to dust. If you're lucky, you can hit 2 officers at the same time! Please, if you're going to use musou, make sure you are CLOSE enough to the enemy officer, because if you're far away, the damage dealt will be very small. Here’s the list -------------------------- | Elements | Almighty | |-----------|------------| | Brave | Evasion | | Bolt | Revival | | Flash | Resolve | | Might | | | Rage | | | Agility | | | Slay | | | Range | | -------------------------- *Note - Those Elements that I've listed is my style and I use it on all of my characters and it works 80%. If you have any problems or other than that, please tell me. ===WO2CG====================================================================== 6.) Others 6a.)
