The Wheels are one of the flashiest and most unique weapons in Dynasty Warriors: Origins, but to truly master them, you need to learn the Wheel Recovery attack mechanic. This guide will teach you how to perform upgraded attacks, use Wheel Recovery well, and even earn some extra Skill Points along the way.

Step 1: Throw Out the Wheels

First, attack with your Wheels. This is the easy part—just launch them toward your enemies like you’re in an intense game of frisbee that nobody agreed to.

Step 2: Perform a Strong Attack Upon Recovery

To perform an upgraded attack from a Wheel Recovery, you need to:

  1. Wait for the Wheels to return to you after being thrown.

  2. Execute a strong attack the moment your character catches them.

  • Controls for Strong Attack:

    • PS5/PS4: Press Triangle

    • Xbox: Press Y

    • PC: Right-Click

When done correctly, your character will flash white upon catching the Wheels. This is your cue to strike.

Step 3: Watch for the Red Visual Effect

If you’ve successfully performed an upgraded attack, you’ll see a red visual effect accompanying your attack. This means you’ve pulled it off perfectly, dealing more damage and looking good while doing it.

  • Pro Tip: Timing is everything. If you miss the window, you’ll just do a regular attack, which is fine—but we both know you can do better.

Why Master Wheel Recovery?

  • Core to the Weapon’s Playstyle: Constantly performing upgraded attacks is the bread and butter of using Wheels effectively.

  • Better Range and Damage: The upgraded attack provides more damage and increased area coverage, making it great for crowd control.

  • Looks Cool: Let’s face it—nothing beats showing off flashy moves while tearing through enemies.

Extra Training Opportunities

Some Training objectives specifically require defeating enemies with Wheel Recovery attacks. Completing these earns extra Skill Points, which you can use to upgrade your character.

  • Pro Tip: If a training objective pops up, focus on nailing your Wheel Recovery timing to rack up kills and Skill Points.

Final Blurb

Mastering the Wheel Recovery attack will let you dominate the battlefield in style. With practice, you’ll be spinning and winning your way to victory in no time.

So, go out there, throw some Wheels, and make every recovery count. Just try not to get too distracted by how cool it looks.
