Samurai Warriors: State of War Subofficer FAQ by dylan7196
~~~~~
INTRO
~~~~~
Welcome. This is my first FAQ, so it may be a bit rough. I made this FAQ due to
the surprising lack of information on this game besides the other information
on this site. The main purpose of this FAQ is to create a definitive list of
the many, many subofficers in this game, as well as finding them.

1. What are subofficers? (subinfo)
----------------------------------
Subofficers are generals you can bring into battle to fight alongside you. You
start out with a very small selection, but there are 231 subofficers unlockable
in this game. Though they are obviously useful for fighting alongside you, it
is also important to look at the special abilities they may possess. Musou
subofficers are the unique generals, which consist of the playable Samurai
Warriors cast, the unique NPCs, and the Dynasty Warriors subofficers.
You start with 2 subofficer slots, gain a third at Level 5, and a fourth at
Level 15. Regardless of level, you may only bring in one Musou subofficer per
battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
2. Subofficer List (sublist)
----------------------------------
This is the main part of the FAQ. I tried to make the list as simple and easy
to read as possible. All Musou subofficers have a skill and two stat boosts.
Generics can have a skill and one stat boost/drop, two stat boosts, or a single
stat boost. This list as of now contains only 228 of the 231 subofficers. If
anyone has information on the remaining 3, or if I made an error, feel free to
send an email.

3. Subofficer Appearances (subappear)
-------------------------------------
This section shows all subofficers' known appearances in the game. This should
help with finding and acquiring missing subofficers. I am sure I missed some
along the way; please inform me if I have.
An asterisk (*) denotes a unit that arrives as reinforcements.
A hyphen (-) denotes a unit that is a subofficer to the unit above it.
A x# (2, 3, etc) means that the unit reappears.
An exclamation mark (!) denotes a unit that is exclusive to this stage. In
order to acquire them, they must be defeated on this stage.

4. Skill List (skilllist)
-------------------------
This section includes every subofficer skill in the game. The layout goes like
this:
*Skill Name - Description*
*Who has the skill*
*Personal rating*
*Comment*
The skills are listed by their in-game listing as well (Sort > Subofficer
Skill).
Greed - Enemies drop gold dust and gold coins more often during missions
Who: Wei Yan, Motochika Chosokabe, Moritsuna Watanabe
Rating: *
This skill probably WOULD be pretty cool if it weren't for the results screen
bug. Unless you like picking up shiny gold things, it's utterly pointless.
Talismania - Obtain powerful charms more easily
Who: Hideyoshi Hashiba, Sun Shang Xiang, Hidenaga Hashiba
Rating: **1/2
Higher chance of better charms. It unfortunately doesn't apply to subofficer
charms, but useful nonetheless.
Stride - Always able to move two squares during Strategy Phase
Who: Zhu Rong, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Tadateru Matsudaira
Rating: **
Being able to two spaces anytime can be somewhat useful early on, but much less
so later. Unfortunately, you can't actually move two spaces with this in a
water/cannon area, or when Thunder'd.
Proficiency - Capable of performing Double Musou attack when both player and
subofficer Musou is at max
Who: Mitsuhide Akechi, Okuni, Kunoichi, Ina
Rating: **1/2
The Double Musou is back. You will see when you can perform a Double Musou
when you and your subofficer are glowing a light blue.
Fortify - During battle Strategy Phase, allied defense power may increase
Who: Cao Ren, Ujiyasu Hojo, Motonari Mori
Rating: **
Too situational. Except for those "protect all strongholds" missions, this
isn't that great, especially since it's a chance skill.
Fury - During battle Strategy Phase, allied attack power may increase
Who: Xiahou Dun, Kageie Kakizaki, Katsuie Shibata
Rating: **
On top of being a "chance" skill, it doesn't really pay off: it just boosts
allies' attack when you see their little icons invading a space, not when
they're on-screen.
Rally - Start battle with charm "Rally 2/3"
Who: Yue Ying (3), Xiahou Yuan (2), Lu Xun (3), Yasumasa Sakikibara (2),
Kanetsugu Naoe (3)
Rating: ***1/2
Rally can be a game changer when you have to protect someone. It heals your
allies AND boosts their morale by almost half a bar at higher levels.
Invaluable on the “don’t lose any strongholds” battles.
Recuperate - Start battle with charm "Recuperate 2/3"
Who: Takakage Kobayakawa (3), Tomonobu Saito (2), Narimasa Nagano (3)
Naoshige Nabeshima (2), Nobufasa Baba (2)
Rating: **
Pretty much Rally, but only usable on strongholds, and applies to more than
one space. If you don't have a subofficer with Rally, this can make-do in the
meantime.
Thunder - Start battle with charm "Thunder 2/3"
Who: Sima Yi (3), Zhou Yu (2), Sadamitsu Usami (2), Kanbei Kuroda (3),
Kansuke Yamamoto (2)
Rating: ***1/2
An attack charm that damages, reduces movement to one AND drops morale by half
a bar while Weakened. Combined with Rally, your allies can practically win the
fight for you. The best offensive charm in the game, because it causes so many
effects.
Mute - Start battle with charm "Mute 2/3"
Who: Sun Jian (3), Lu Meng (2), Xiao Qiao (2), Chikasue Ando (2),
Ujisato Gamo (3)
Rating: **
Hits the entire battlefield and silences all enemy charms for 3/6/9 turns.
Sounds great, but enemy charms don't quite warrant a subofficer slot.
Plus you’ll usually find one in a battle anyways.
Poison - Start battle with charm "Poison 2/3"
Who: Yoshiaki Ashikaga (2), Masayuki Sanada (2), Tamenobu Tsurugu (2),
Masanobu Honda (3)
Rating: **
Deals damage for multiple turns, but the enemy loves to use their Antidote to
counter it, and Thunder already weakens them anyways.
Paralysis - Start battle with charm "Paralysis 2/3"
Who: Pang Tong (2), Zhang Jiao (3), Sukemasa Ota (2), Sessai Taigen (3),
Kazumasu Takigawa (2)
Rating: **
It might be useful to hold a major on a stronghold, or maybe an enemy leader
retreating to his main camp. Thunder is much better though.
Boost - Start battle with charm "Boost 2/3"
Who: Diao Chan (2), Naoie Ukita (3), Motoharu Kikkawa (3), Masanobu Kosaka (3),
Tadatsugu Sakai (2), Moritane Soma (2)
Rating: ***1/2
Movement +1, simply put. Very nice in the early game to compensate for grades,
and useful late-game to rush camps/strongholds. Overall, it's a great charm
and I often find myself using it.
Meditation - Musou gauge constantly refills during missions
Who: Soteki Asakura, Junkei Tsutsui, Gen'an Hojo
Rating: ****
One of the best skills in the game, along with Brewmaster and Sickle. Combine
with red health auto-Musou fill and Brewmaster for ridiculous Musou spammage.
Oh, and multiple Meditations stack.
Brewmaster - Subofficers drop Musou Sake during missions
Who: Kenshin Uesugi, Zhang Fei, Masanori Fukushima
Rating: *****
I used to think this meant that Musou drops from enemy subofficers, and thought
it was only worth 2 stars. Then I found, it means that ALLIED subofficers drop
them. Every 20 seconds, meaning this skill is up there with Meditation,
possibly better. This should still be a vital defensive skill for any player.
This and Meditation.
Scan - Avoid traps and mines during missions
Who: Huang Zhong, Ujimoto Makabe, Katsunaga Mori
Rating: ** in castle/mine battles, * otherwise
Obviously, a stage-specific charm. Land mines and such can be annoying, but
they’re really not that bad.
2nd Chance - Life refills by half the first time it runs out
Who: Magoichi Saika, Dian Wei
Rating: ***1/2
Very useful. Having a second life takes a lot of risk out of tough encounters,
particularly main camps. Much better for the endgame stages.
Steed - Start missions mounted on a horse (outdoor missions only)
Who: Katsuyori Takeda, Harumasa Nambu, Shigenaga Honjo
Rating: *1/2
Since battles are in little tile-based chunks, there's no real need for a
horse. Horse combat isn't all that great either-there's no "Horse Atk/Def"
booster in the game!
Persian - Start missions mounted on a Persian horse (outdoor missions only)
Who: Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, Masakage Yamagata
Rating: **
It's still not worth the subofficer slot. But the horse is faster, so I guess
it's better.
Matsukaze - Start missions mounted on Matsukaze (outdoor missions only)
Who: Keiji Maeda, Guan Yu, Nagayoshi Mori
Rating: **1/2
Even faster than the Persian horse, and more stamina. If you really need a
steed, pick this one.
Gluttony - Enemy soldiers drop more recovery items during missions
Who: Xu Zhu, Mitsunari Ishida, Masatoyo Naito
Rating: **1/2
Useful to keep your life bar topped off, though the game does provide you with
enough health in and out of combat.
Rampage - During battle Strategy Phase, allied attack power increases and
defense power decreases
Who: Dong Zhuo, Matabei Goto, Takanobu Ryuzoji
Rating: ***
The attack up is guaranteed unlike Fury, but with the price of a defense drop.
Again, a situational skill; don't use it in a defensive fight, as allies are
weakened then.
Drum - Allied morale increases at start of battle
Who: Shingen Takeda, Sun Quan, Tsunashige Hojo
Rating: ****
This skill is like a mini-Rally for your whole army. A very useful skill,
although a hard one to get. A must-have for those “protect all strongholds”
missions.
Drill - Character development from KO achievements greatly increases
Who: Ranmaru Mori, Jiang Wei, Muneshige Tachibana
Rating: ***
Train - Character development from KO achievements increases
Who: Xu Huang, Kagekatsu Uesugi, Tomonori Kitabatake
Rating: **1/2
Aggression - Attack power may double at the beginning of a mission
Who: Tadakatsu Honda, Lu Bu, Yataro Onikojima
Rating: ***
This is no ordinary 30 second attack boost; when this skill kicks in, it lasts
for the whole tile. This skill seems to have about a 15-20% chance of working,
and it would be only ** if it weren't for the fact that you can save and reload
to get it anytime you want.
Impulse - Speed may double at the beginning of a mission
Who: Hanzo Hattori, Zhang He, Kojuro Katakura
Rating: **
Just like Aggression, but with an infinite speed boost instead of attack. With
the tile-based combat in this game, however, it isn't quite as useful as it
sounds.
Shield - Defense power may double at the beginning of a mission
Who: Ieyasu Tokugawa, Taishi Ci, Shoun Takahashi
Rating: **1/2
Just like Aggression and Impulse, but defense is doubled this time. Not quite
as good as Aggression, but more useful than Impulse, especially in Chaos Mode.
Sickle - Attacks may KO weak enemies instantly
Who: Zhou Tai, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi, Muneyoshi Yagyu
Rating: ******
Remember the five scrolls on SW1? Well, it's in this game, and you get the
whole package for just 1 subofficer slot (minus the Death-elemental Musou
unfortunately). It's no less powerful, though. Instant kills to soldiers and
heavy damage to officers, when it hits of course (indicated with a blue slash
on the enemy). For attack skills this is hands-down the best. And yes, they
stack to increase slash chance. And yes, I rated it six stars.
Razor - Attacks may rarely KO weak enemies instantly
Who: Yoshiteru Ashikaga, Tadaaki Ono, Shigemasa Toda, Nagayoshi Marume,
Munemori Yagyu
Rating: *****
It's Sickle, but with a lower activation rate. Not quite low enough to deny
it five stars though. Not to mention the fact that 5 subofficers have it.
Since you can potentially get this on your first battle (Renegade Resistance),
it is arguably THE best skill for Chaos Mode early on.
Appraisal - Obtain powerful weapons more easily
Who: Yoshimoto Imagawa, Fujitaka Hosokawa, Hisahide Matsunaga
Rating: ****
Serves its purpose well; increased weapon stats. It may or may not stack.
Combine with Chaos Mode for best results.
Sorcery - Effects of attack charms strengthened
Who: Zhuge Liang, Hanbei Takenaka
Rating: **1/2
It makes your attack charms hit harder, although attack charms are more for
status effects than damage. It is nice to knock down 80% life with Fire 1
though.
Plunder - See locations of buried treasure in enemy territory and contents of
chests and buried treasure
Who: Goemon Ishikawa, Gan Ning, Koroku Hachisuka, Kotaro Fuma
Rating: *** if used before battle, * if used during
In short, you see all items and their locations, not to mention their contents.
Use it to "scout" the battlefield, then soft reset and choose someone else for
best results.
Loot - See locations of buried treasure in enemy territory and contents of
chests
Who: Meng Huo, Shigetomo Akechi, Nobushige Oyamada, Takahiro Kitajo,
Yoshitaka Kuki, Dan'emon Ban
Rating: ** if used before battle, * during
Just like Plunder, but you can't see the contents of buried items. Not too
different though.
Awe - Defeated officers become subofficers very easily
Who: Nobunaga Oda, Zhen Ji, Yoshihisa Shimazu
Rating: *****
Without a doubt one of the most useful skills in the game. Subofficer hunting
is a large part of the game, and Awe practically cuts your hunting time in
half. I believe that Awe will not increase your chances of receiving Dynasty
Warriors subofficers randomly at the end, since the description states you
have to defeat them, though I could be wrong.
Capture - Defeated officers become subofficers more easily
Who: Nagamasa Azai, Naomasa Ii, Yoshishige Satake
Rating: ***
A less effective Awe, but still a tremendous time-saver, not to mention that
you can get this skill in Western Warriors if you're lucky.
Gloom - Dark elemental attacks raised by 1 level
Who: Noh, Cao Cao, Yoshiaki Mogami
Rating: ***
Obviously, for Dark weapons. You absorb more life per Dark hit. Not bad.
Crystal - Ice elemental attacks raised by 1 level
Who: Masamune Date, Da Qiao, Kiyomasa Kato
Rating: ***
For ICE weapons only, of course. Enemies freeze more often, and possibly an
extended freeze time.
Spark - Lightning elemental attacks raised by 1 level
Who: Oichi, Zhao Yun Dosetsu Tachibana
Rating: ***
For weapons that zap enemies. Lightning strikes the enemy and knocks them right
to the ground for more damage. Neat, unless you're trying to juggle an officer.
Blaze - Fire elemental attacks raised by 1 level
Who: Yukimura Sanada, Sun Ce, Iehisa Shimazu
Rating: ***1/2
It gets the extra half-star because it enhances True Musous, too. Fire deals
more damage per hit, and True Musous have Fire by default.
Karma - Luck is increased greatly
Who: Liu Bei, Takatora Todo, Shikanosuke Yamanaka
Rating: **
Luck makes items drop more often and I believe better weapons, so it has its
uses, though Appraisal is better for weapons, and likewise with Gluttony for
Life Recovers.
Fortune - Luck is increased significantly
Who: Yuan Shao, Nagamasa Kuroda, Toshimutsu Saito
Rating: *1/2
A less potent Karma, although "significantly" sounds better than "greatly"...oh
well.
Luck - Luck is increased slightly
Who: Yoshikage Asakura, Sorin Otomo, Ujimasa Hojo, Toshiie Maeda
Rating: *
Even lower than Fortune. There is barely an increase in item drops with this.
----------------
This section includes charms that are only obtainable through KOs or through
treasure. Since there is no such listing for in-battle charms, these will
simply be listed in alphabetical order. One-shot charms and "Always active"
charms are separated for convenience. No officer listing or rating is
necessary, as officers don't have these skills and they are randomly found,
making a rating pointless.
Fire 1/2/3
Believe it or not, no subofficer has this skill. Really. Anyways, it's the
simplest attack charm, only dealing damage. It also burns thickets for
stage-specific Fires.
Cure All
A small heal and status-curing charm. This and Heal seem to be the most
common pick-up charms in the game.
Heal
Restore to full health. You'll be seeing this charm a lot.
Adrenaline - Mobility of four squares if near death.
Very useful, and very much worth staying at red health for. It doesn't hurt
that, in the missions you'll want this for (high-difficulty missions), you'll
likely be at red health.
Blitz - Mobility of three squares with full Musou Gauge.
Also useful, like Adrenaline. Worth keeping a slot open.
Immunity - Status effects are prevented.
Not terribly useful, since Cure All does the same thing (albeit for one turn)
while restoring some Life. If you need space for other charms, I recommend
tossing this one. Unfortunately this won't help with the damage you take from
Thunder.
Lightfoot - Can move through low water normally.
This is a unique charm, since it's always given to you or picked up at a
designated space, never obtained through KOs. With this charm you can move over
low water as if it's a normal space.
Serum - Life gradually recovers during battle.
This is amazing for a simple KO reward charm. If only this were a subofficer
skill charm, it would probably be the best in the game.
Vigor - Musou gauge is full at start of each mission.
Not too great, especially when you use Brewmaster or Meditation.
War Cry - Allied morale increases each turn.
If you were lucky enough to get this charm, you won the battle. Even Rebellion
in the Midwest is a cakewalk with this charm. Sad that's only a random
occurrence.
----------------
Antidote - restores all status effects for all officers on the field
Who: Nobody (enemy only)
Huh? An enemy only charm? It's true, only enemy leaders can use it, and only
when status effects are on another enemy. It sure would be nice if we could
use it...

5. Officer/Weapon Stats (swstats)
----------------------------------
Other FAQs have been made for officer/weapon stats for the console SW games,
but there are some changes made for State of War, most of which involve
changing weapons to include Intelligence, and removing Ranged Attack/Defense
and Mounted Attack/Defense, so I figured it deserves some mention.

6. General Tips (gentips)
----------------------------------
Just some tips for some differences in SW:SoW compared to other Warriors games.
- It is possible to “hop over” red spaces by landing on another blue space.
This lets you instantly take the territory, with no fighting.
- Due to an odd bug, the game assumes you always collected exactly 3 of each
gold pickup; the game also assumes you got exactly 587 KOs. Perplexing, to
say the least. This can be good or bad; for a whole battle's worth of
progress, it sucks. For a die-in-10-seconds battle, this can be exploitable
for stat gains.
- Not all after-battle stat gains are glitched. Your KO count still determines
some of your stat gains (despite the count blatantly saying 587 KOs), as do
your grades (A, B, C).
- Main camps can be taken over instantly by officers when they're defenseless.
Always take note of the main camp's defenses.
- Full movesets for players are unlocked instantly. No more of the x4, x6 and
x8 counter like on SW1; your entire moveset is usable even with a starter
weapon on Lv. 1.
- If you sit around for too long (neglect an enemy stronghold, more precisely),
a major will appear and move out. Unfortunately this seems to only occur for
enemy strongholds. Even if you aren't sitting around, majors still pop out
after some time, so strongholds take priority.
- Will stars. Sort of like a personal morale bar for enemy main leaders. Quite
simple: the more stars they have, the stronger they are (up to 3). The stars
can be taken town by taking over territories. Not too much of a problem,
however, except for in Chaos Mode. When fighting a main leader with 3 Will
stars, everyone, even troop leaders are in "Hyper Mode" (reddish glow around
them, sometimes immune to normal attacks). Understandably it can make for a
ridiculous last fight in later stages on Chaos, so if at all possible, drop
the leader's Will stars to 2 or below, and bring Sickle/Razor too.
- In Chaos Mode, Majors in strongholds can be a good thing. Waiting for one to
pop up can be better than frantically defeating 5 reserve captains in 3-4
minutes (who, by the way, are immune to the insta-kill of Razor/Sickle).
- More of an oddity than a tip, but sometimes officers (not majors, for
whatever reason) will have less, much less life than usual, around 25-30%
less. No idea what triggers this, as I’ve had it happen in Story and Free
Mode, on all scenario difficulties, even Ultimate Warriors on Chaos. Strange.

7. Grinding/Farming Tips (grindtips)
------------------------------------
~~Quick method to gain stats/EXP: East United - Assault on the Midwest
Subofficer skills: None needed, but 3 Rampages can speed process up by a turn.
Method: Choose to wait every turn, avoid Major coming towards your starting
position.
Let Hanzo Hattori die (or Kunoichi if you are Hanzo).
After losing, because the gold acquired counter is bugged, you will
always get 3 of each, ensuring 1,875 points, You also get +1 to Life
and Musou, along with around +3 to two random stats.
~~Best place to raise Skill levels (Musou KOs): The Oda's Conquest - March on
the Capital
Subofficer skills: None needed, 2 Brewmasters, 1 Blaze and 1 Aggression
recommended.
Method: Take over all of the spaces before the gate, except for the stronghold.
Wait for a Major to pop out, let him come to you, and farm Musou KOs to
your heart's content. Rinse and repeat. Be careful of the turn count,
however, as you will lose if 100 turns pass. Don't worry about time
passing in combat however, just Musou away.
~~Best place to farm weapons: Mitsuhide and Ranmaru – Assault on Sanyo
*note: this strategy does not work if you play as either Mitsuhide or Ranmaru.
Subofficer skills: 1 Drum (Rally 2/3 as a weaker alternative) and 1 Thunder 3
optimally. Other 2 slots can be Appraisal for better weapons.
Method: Allow Mitsuhide and Ranmaru to do everything in the battle. If done
right, the only combat you’ll see is the commander. Pick up the Rally
charm at the eastmost stronghold for later. Once Mitsuhide and Ranmaru
cross to the next island, your two weapon boxes will be 1 tile south of
the first dock and 1 tile west of the second dock. As the AI is very
random, judge when you should use your Thunder 3 to hit as many as
possible, and be sure to Rally Mitsuhide and Ranmaru when they’re in
danger. After defeating all leaders on the west island, defeat the
retreating Takakage Kobayakawa. This method may sound long, but is
easily the most hassle-free way of weapon farming.
As for Mitsuhide and Ranmaru, Enter the Tokugawa – Rebirth in Mikawa may be
best. Use a Boost charm along with Appraisals ans anything else to finish the
battle faster. Simply ignore everything and rush straight for the commander,
grabbing the weapon box 3 spaces south of the main camp.
Remember to play on Chaos for best results. With 2 Appraisals, I easily get
weapons around +45-50/+65-75, even on 2/5 star difficulty stages.
~~Method to easily farm all DW Musou Subofficers
Although generic subofficers can be a pain to collect, there are some tricks
to making subofficers appearing as certain units much easier to collect.
The Dynasty Warriors subofficers were quite annoying in that there is no
guaranteed way to unlock them. I had many different theories as to what would
increase the unlock chance: playing high difficulty stages, playing as many
different characters, etc. These were found to be false. The best way to obtain
these Dynasty Warriors is by saving before the enemy commander. Similarly to a
lottery, the game feels like it will randomly give out the "jackpot" of a DW of
ficer at the end of the stage. What was not clear was that the game waits to
decide on this until AFTER the battle finishes. This means that every bit of
progress made in a battle is, in a sense, meaningless when it comes to
collecting these DW officers. After the main leader is defeated, THEN the game
decides whether it wants to give you a DW officer. I discovered this by
accident while reloading to obtain a subofficer from a main leader.
After this discovery, I found what may be the fastest possible way to unlock
DW subofficers. This method will speed up your DW subofficer hunting
exponentially. Another benefit of this battle is that you do not have to fight
at all except for defeating Ieyasu.
Stage: Western Warriors - Battle of Mikatagahara
Character: Any but Shingen, Masamune and Kenshin (as they start out in
different areas of the map)
Subofficers: Thunder 2/3 (required), Awe/Capture (not required but highly
recommended), Sickle/Brewmaster (if you have trouble with Ieyasu)
Turn 1: Move 1 up 1 left.
Turn 2: Use Thunder 2/3 on Tadakatsu (will hit the other officers in the "X"
formation around him) first. Move 2 up.
Turn 3: Move 2 right.
Turn 4: Move 1 right. At this point, a major should begin battle with Shingen.
Move 1 right.
Turn 5: Move 1 right. Masamune should begin battle with (weakened from Thunder)
Tadakatsu. Tadakatsu will be defeated by Masamune.
Turn 6: Move 1 right.
Turn 7: SAVE. At this point, Shingen will die if Hanzo reaches your main camp.
Fortunately, this is the final turn, so this will not happen. Attack
and defeat Ieyasu.
After clearing the battle, you should see if you collected a DW officer or not.
If you did not acquire one, simply perform a soft reset (Start+Select+L+R) and
reload the battle. After you obtain a DW officer, start the process anew. With
this method, I collected over 15 DW subofficers in less than a day. I am not
sure if Awe and Capture actually help, but it never hurts to have it with you.
