Can you switch characters in this game, like in Hyrule Warriors?

Loved that mechanic in Hyrule Warriors and was wondering if it's in here too.

You cannot. It's dependent on the game, and is not universal across all Musou games.

The stages and maps are designed with the intention of using one character though, so not being able to switch characters doesn't take away from the experience, imho.

HW was originally designed for 1 char until the 3DS port

Right, and when they introduced character-switching, they modified the stages,missions, and mechanics to accommodate it.

I like the SW switch style, when you can send one character to a point of interest in mission while you finish other mission. It makes things super dynamic

Same. It felt really nice in Fire Emblem Warriors, since you could control up to 4 characters, as well as have them team up and let you cycle between them.

Would be perfect on PW4 i think

I think all Musou games should adapt character-switching like SW/HW/FEW. The weapon triangle in Fire Emblem is particularly interesting, since it makes certain characters weak or strong against certain characters, which incentivizes you to pick multiple characters with different traits, and place them on the battlefield based on which enemy units spawn and where. Fire Emblem Warriors truly felt more strategic than any other Musou game I've played.

They might be able to make that work in One Piece. For example, give Haki users a damage boost against Devil Fruit users, give Logia characters a defense boost against non-Haki users, give Conqueror's Haki users a damage boost against fodder, give Observation Haki users longer invincibility frames when dodging, etc etc. Could make for some interesting gameplay and strategy elements.

cant agree more! its a must for every Musou

I honestly hate the character switching in the other games.
