From the depths of darkness, a dragon soars.
A new dark fantasy Three Kingdoms action RPG from Team NINJA, the developers of Nioh.
184 AD, Later Han Dynasty China. The land is overcome by chaos and destruction. The imperial dynasty that prospered for many years is now about to collapse.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a dramatic, action-packed story of a nameless militia soldier fighting for survival in a dark fantasy version of the Later Han Dynasty where demons plague the Three Kingdoms. Players fight off deadly creatures and enemy soldiers using swordplay based on the Chinese martial arts, attempting to overcome the odds by awakening the true power from within.
Wo Long refers to a crouching dragon, and also refers to a hero or person of greatness who is not yet known. This is the story of officers, who will later become heroes, during their ‘unknown’ period, and also the story of a protagonist’s rise from being a ‘nobody’.
A dark fantasy set during the chaotic Three Kingdoms period, the narrative vividly tells the tale of a militia soldier’s strenuous fight for survival during a Later Han Dynasty infested with demons. It’s madness in the Three Kingdoms like never before!
Defeat deadly enemies to boost morale and awaken the power from within! Overcome adversity through unique new strategies, including battle styles based on the “Five Phases”.
Renowned for ruthless strikes that can change the tide of battle in an instant, sword practitioners of the Chinese martial arts gracefully change pace as they shift between offensive and defensive maneuvers. Overwhelm opponents with a flurry of force in a series of intense and bloody battles while learning the precision and skill necessary to become a true master of the sword.
Choose from a wide variety of weapons, from glaives to dual swords, to discover which fits your fighting style.
This secret art draws upon the power of the Five Phases, which allow for attacks using such elements as flames and ice. Upon achieving higher Morale Ranks, you can gain the ability to utilize even more powerful Wizardry Spells.
Divine Beasts like Zhuque and Baihu are brought forth through alliances with other warriors. By calling upon these Divine Beasts, you are able to perform feats of great power.

Man i love the respec aspect of this game being able to change your build in your first play through at no cost should be the new standard 👌
Outriders is the same way.
I agree, unless the circumstances within the game would make it break the game. QoL is awesome, and allows more creativity, but if switching builds on the fly gave the player an unfair advantage, that would be lame. In this case though, it just gives more freedom to the player, but doesn't change the difficulty or the flow
@@Tcrror yeah but everything else sucks in that game, unfortunately
@@hua.. i love outriders
Yeah. Finally devs are understanding some people dont want to restart X game tens of times or grind hundreds of hours to try every build/class. Immersiveness or roleplaying can go to hell.
The respec/battle set is such a great quality of life improvement for a guy like me. I literally do not have the time to start a new game to create a new build/character. I’ll be able to have different builds on one save and won’t have to worry about the absolute grind because I don’t have the time due to work and family.
Nioh had plenty of respeccing as well though
Just be careful while leveling, if you level up while in one battle set and switch to an earlier lower-level battle set, you will lose those levels.
@@lgonzales81 You don't loose levels, you just need to redistribute points
The free unlimited respec is phenomenal - I hope this becomes a trend with RPG's going forward.
Wood grows from Earth, Earth halts Water, Water douses Fire, Fire melts Metal, Metal destroys Wood
i did the same thing in my head to remember it all 😂
Soooo I spec into wood and earth?
@@Sikeyourdead It depends on your play style . If you’re aggressive go fire , if you’re defensive go earth , if you like to sustain health go wood, if you like to be a stealth type of player go water . Etc
@@TaIIerwater is for deflects too right…?
@@TaIIer I’ve completed the game now, I did 40 wood 20 metal 10 earth and 10 water and everything else into fire
18:21 To touch on "Deflection" timing, I've noticed there are "visual signs" of when you should hit Deflect. Example: When that enemy does his "critical attack" when he jumps in the air his sword "glints/flashes" and then his sword along with his body briefly has an extended "red body glow" you see his veins inside his body, that is the perfect time to hit circle. The spear guys the tip of the spear flashes.
FIRST BOSS EXAMPLE: In 2nd phase when he tries to pull you in with his critical, he starts to glow red center of body but right as you should hit deflect another red "circle" forms for a split second above the 1st one (closer to his head).
Fengxi (the pig boss) his belly flop is 3 steps towards you then there's an animation on his belly to time deflect. When he does the "critical charge" when his tusks glow red is the timing on deflect.
TLDR: There's always a "tell" during critical attacks for timing "deflects", some you have time to react to, some you do not and either need to learn or better position yourself during the deflect with a movement direction. Either look for "white glints" on weapons, or look pay very close attention to "the red body animations" when the Critical Attack starts, then pay attention to the next time you see a bunch of red either in/on the body of the enemy or its limb/weapon it's using to attack.
You have the best content and guides hands down. Very excited for this series.
Thanks cowboy for these guides that you do. I'm so hyped to play this tonight and with this guide, I won't be so overwhelmed with the games systems. 🔥🔥
You make some of the most in depth, easy to understand guides. Top tier video as usual 👌
Thanks for making this. It really simplified some of the aspects I found confusing and highlighted features I may not have made use of. Your content is great thanks.
For newbies on boss fights, Earth Spec, "Rock Toughness" is pretty strong. It cancels out losing a Morale Level if you get hit by a red attack. Lasts ~ 30 seconds, usable at 7 morale.
Thanks for the amazing guide! 💜
Definitely will be picking up the complete edition for this later down the line!
I didnt expect this game to look so good. I tried the Beta a couple days ago and man it was a blast.
“Trees are gonna chop down wood”… haha love it. Great content as always man.
Thanks for the guide. I'm new to Team Ninja games and this one seems to throw a lot of systems at you very quickly. Your guide has helped me understand a lot of features. Thanks so much!
Thanks CB, I'm picking this up today, you got me through sekiro, souls and eldin ring! Can't wait for this long awaited game
I love your coverage and explanations. Appreciate your hard work
You are fantastic, Cowboy! I so look forward to playing this game with your walkthroughs! I truly enjoyed your Eldenring Walkthrough, and it helped me tremendously! Keep it up!
You have made both Nioh and Wo long fun to me, thank you!
You such a good creator, game has been out 4 mins and you already got a vid out explaining stats and stuff, YOU MAKE THESE KIND OF GAMES BETTER AND MUCH EASIER TO GET INTO FOR FIRST TIMERS, god bless
You genuinely don’t get enough credit for how much work you do man. It’s really impressive as hell. You may be the greatest gamer in my opinion
Just finished watching with 3 minutes until the game unlocks. Thank you so much!
Helped a bunch! Thank you! Didnt understand fortitude or the moral much from playing last night during the release until I watched this
You are a legend for these guides you do man
I love the ability to save different builds.
I think this is going to encourage me to really try everything the game has to offer.
I've been with you since DS2 poison whip PvP build. It's why i got into souls games. Thank you for what you do i've been so excited to see you cover this game and cant wait to see what kind of creativity you have with this game.
What a great video. I've been following since your Sekiro and Nioh 2 videos. I'm excited for Wo Long although it does seems incredibly similar to Nioh. I liked the demo, will get started on the main game tonight. The easy build switching looks HUGE.
Excellent guide, as always. Thanks for the explanations dude.
very clear and concise explanation of these mechanics, much appreciated!
This was such a nice guide to listen to while creating my character. Thanks dude. Subscribed.
Terrific video. This is gonna help me out a lot! Thank you so much!
Was just wondering which virtue synergizes best with Wood, then this drops ! Perfect timing
I love your videos man! Been here since nioh 1 and I've learnt so much from your guides. I can't wait to get into the meat of this game with builds and harder difficulties. My favourite part of team ninja souls-like is you know with each dlc the game is going to grow and become more complex, it's very exciting!
Being able to save the builds is incredible!
What do you mean
I really like the ease of customizing builds
Appreciate the video, answers a lot of questions! I know your blacksmith guide gonna be fire too
Awesome video Cowboy. Keep the informative info coming. Really helped me understand more that the game doesn't tell you. Cheers bro. 👍👹👍.
I did not know this game was this in-depth with all this. As always with these games I appreciate you!
Great video - very helpful. I love the respec capability in this game and if you want to play it more traditionally then you don't need to use the function. I also love the ability to change the character features on the fly if you want. So much about this game is really well thought out.
All those Pokemon games have thought me Water beats Earth & Rock, because even if you drop a mountain on a river it will eventually find a way through. Great starter guide Cowboy, thanks!
Amazing video cowboy, thanks a lot man, super informative!
THANK YOU FOR THIS! you're the GOAT fr man
Love the build swap feature and respeccing
Tip: If you wanna truly play solo without the NPC companions following you around, you can do that by using the Willow Branch, which will dismiss them. You can always call them back when you need them.
Keep in my mind that having the companions around will increase your bond with them over time, and you will even acquire their gear eventually.
The NPCs were pissing me off so bad I had to google how to get rid of them lmao. I understand what they were going for but this games combat does not jive with having companions, not even in the slightest. You cannot see a single thing going on, in a game that is all about tight timing.
@@buckyhurdle4776 just back up, let the companions engage and hit bosses from the back
Nice can’t wait for later today I was a worried i put points into the wrong stuff lol so im glad we can respec easily in this game
Incredible job, as usual.
Thank you for the help followed you for a while now I am actually using your knowledge instead of just watching making this game way easier
Picked up the game about a week ago and played it only a bit due to time constraints on my end. This vid so far is the most useful just to get started. Just getting an idea where the soft caps are gives me a better idea where to spend my levels on for whatever build I want to make.
As always another amazing video and thank you
Your explanations are 🗝 and on point🤙🏾
well done sir , great info , easily digested
Nice Guide. I needed this.
Very useful video, thank you, because I think this game is quite overwhelming at first, I started playing but I struggled to understand the mechanics as you're thrown right into action with not that much explanation (specifically about leveling up)
Great content! Appreciate it!
Great vid buddy! Helped me a lot
in case people are interested: From what i looked up, lvl cap is 100 on first playthrough but is incredibly to lvl 150 on new game plus.
This game is super fun. I played with a friend so it was VASTLY easier than what most people had to go through but it was super enjoyable. I love the wood spells because they look cool (I’m here for a good time, sue me). All in all very fun.
Yo CB,
Huge thank you man I honestly always appreciate you high quality and well informative vids u always post. You were a life saver in nioh 2 for me and my friends. So honestly gotta say you're the same still for wo long. Big thank you CB! 😭🔥
Best guides out there
The respec and build sets is such an awesome quality of life upgrade
What do you mean sorry new to the game!
I'm loving this game, thanks for the content ❤️👍
Keep up the great content on these game.. your my favorite content creator.. be blessed
Wow! CowBoy dropping Wo long content likes it’s a goldmine! So excited! I’ll be playing via gamepass for now!
Thank you for the guide is really helps a noob or beginner like me
Trees will chop what? 😉
You're a divinity for gaming explanations and theories. Everyone appreciates your hard work professionalism. and your desire for your content.
Thanks for your Wo Long analysis this time around.
Trees gona chop down wood, i heard it aswell CB is the best haha
Ive put in some time already on wo-long, and in most games I still will watch cowboys "starter guides" I always seem to miss some detail of some stat category and he covers it all thoroughly or reminds me of something cool I may have missed
2:40 Man really said trees are gonna chop down wood😂 love the accidentals bro, keep up the content🤝🏼
I love the whole "trees are gonna chop down wood" part in the beginning lol
Great video for a great game man! I was kinda lost at how to spend levels but this helped a lot. The review bombs on Xbox are hilarious. 1 star reviews from frustrated people who admit they couldn’t beat the first boss lol tip on second phase just sit and wait for a critical attack and deflect it. Do that twice and you auto win with spirit beast summon. Easy.
This is official yo, youve turned me into a darksoul and elden ring master n now this
Always the best Cowboy 👌🏻
Excellent content. Fav part was tree's are going to chop down wood.
I allowed myself to hype for this game. I still believe. Thanks, Cowboy!
I love this channel, @FightinCowboy , your the greatest
"Trees are going to chop down wood"

Good guide though thanks man!
The game legit came outta nowhere, I’ve bought every good game over the yrs and thought I had them all and ass soon as I thought that.. here comes Wu long which makes me wanna finally play nioh 2 and finish sekiro… my game library is legit legendary lol
Goddamn that Earth build looks fucking rad
Loved the demo on Series X. I know you mentioned the random white screen flashes you get on PC on your last video, but, wow, you can see how prevalent it is on this video. Hope it gets fixed, it'd border on game breaking, for me at least.
Love ur vids
I didn't know increasing your element stat also increases the element's damage. In hindsight that probably made a lot of sense. Btw you might have noticed that the counter to each element is like drawing a star shape.
It seems that each element on the star is opposite to the both elements it's strong/weak against. So Metal for example is strong against Wood and weak to Fire. That pattern repeats, so Water is strong against Fire and weak to Earth, etc.
@@Kanyusi1234That's a cool way to remember thanks!
you forgot to mention that spirit attacks also shorten the enemies spirit gauge as well
Thanks cowboy for this exceptional guide as always. Apologies if ive missed this but is there items you can pop to recover spirit like you can stamina in other souls games or is there a main core stat to speed up the recovery time?
There are no stats to increase recovery time there's a few buffs but you're expected to increase recovery through attacking and deflecting
@@FightinCowboy Thanks CB, picking it up tomorrow.
Man, I’m still trying to figure out how to get past the first boss, General of Man. Can’t even wrap my head around what these elements do for me. I need a remedial guide just to understand this guide, lol.
Just picked this up finally. Boy is it another animal!!!! 🤘
I love this game
Thank you so much, bruv. I really appreciate you. I was so confused with the whole Wizardry Spells, wondering why I can't use the ones up higher on the tree. Thank you again 😤🔥🔥
Nice!!
Does the fire damage bonus on the weapon give a damage boost to the weapon itself, or only adds damage to fire spells?
Is there a way to switch the run button from double tap analog
That Battle Set option is fuckin sick
One question about the elemental status, for example they say to remove a fire 'burn' effect you can use a positive water effect, same for all the other elements. Do they just mean any buff spells from the counter element?
Yes.
thanks for the video cowboy as an autistic gamer my reactions slower than able bodies but i love dark souls and dark souls type games , i was able to finish elden ring and bought this and the block trick has helped a lot
