Loads of questions

[Crimson Array]

I have a lot of questions I would like cleared up so any answer will be greatly appreciated :)

1.) Is my Secondary character useful at all?
I noticed that if I send him off freely or of I target a officer directly ( the objective ones ), he kills off a few regular soldiers but only scratches the officer!
Although sometimes, when I send him off to an officer that isn't an objective, he kills them off a few seconds after reaching them. But takes a while if there's a good amount of soldiers around him and even longer in a red zone.
So is he really useful or am I commanding him incorrectly...

[ I already know that my ally officers are like my enemy officers, when I can't see them, their fights don't really progress unless a bunch of officers gangbang another. But when I see them, the fights go much faster ]

2.) How do I get the true endings?
Is it like DW8XL that I have to complete every single objective in the fight? Even the bonus ones?
But my problem is that I can't seem to open up some of the bonus objectives, even if I listen to the conversations as that mostly gives out major hints to how to unlock the bonus objectives. I also alternate my characters as some of em are character based. I also switch characters when "!" appears over their heads.
I explore the map to see if there are zone specific ones, I unlock a few but some just stays locked.

3.) What's with the horses?
Previous titles from all warriors games have the horse runs straight at you even if you are moving. They would turn if your movements are too erratic.
In this game, the horse seems to go full on charging without stopping to turn if your character is moving.

4.) What does the Special Tomes do?

5.) Any tips on Survival mode?
I can only go so far .... I use a custom character using Nobunaga's weapon.

1. Your second officer should be used for slowing down fleeing units, killing lesser officers and for maneuvering. The best way to use your second officer is to send them to a location then switch to them once they are there to kill with them. Think of it as a way to be in two places at once and to get around faster.

2. I do not believe there is a true ending, the only purpose to completing every objective is to 100% the game.

A lot of the bonus objectives need you to be fast, some require you to play as a specific hero when you engage an officer, and sometimes the bonus objective is to lose a fellow officer as the bonus objective might be something like "Escort the remaining officers" or such.

I personally recommend looking up the guide and following it to find the missing objectives.

3. The horse is very annoying to say the least, I recommend calling it once and running to wherever it goes. In previous games you could spam the whistle key and it would eventually come to you and you would automatically mount, but in this game it oddly acts differently.

4. By special Tomes do you mean the centre hexagon in the grid? It is a unique ability to the character you unlock it with. Some give you increased stats, while others will cause an effect or aura to happen. Most are very useful, there are some which are exceptionally powerful especially when used together.

5. Level a character / weapon you are good with, I recommend one that has a musuo which lets you move as some floors have "Kill x enemies using musou attacks" If you have a musou where you stand still it can be very tedious and will cost you a lot of time. Once you have found a weapon set level it up and increase the skills of it, Death is a very useful attribute as it can instantly kill units and greatly damage officers.

Oohhh, thanks for the answer :)
That clears up a lot ^^
But one last~~

I saw youtube videos of the campaign "Trials of Trust" which had the ending of Yukimura charging in towards a group of soldiers after a lovely chat with his brother... what I got is him just dying in the middle of the field...

And in "Love and Fear" Magoichi Saika really ends up dying??
There's no alternate path to actually allow him to live?

I thought it would be like DW8XL in which completing objectives actually changes the fate of the characters D:

I'm not sure I remember the cutscene you described with Yukimura, I also have seen the one of him dying with Ina and Nobuyuki saying their goodbyes.

Unfortunately Magoichi wasn't the lead character of Love and Fear, Koshosho was so it followed her and chose to play out with a touching and serious story. The end cutscene shows that Koshosho was right about anyone getting close to her dying, except for Gracia.

This game chose to not do the split story paths of 'what happened' and 'what could of happened, I'm not sure why they did it.

When I look through my Event Scenes lists I can see a few ??? ones but I think they are only the lesser scenes of officers talking to each other and not rendered cutscenes.

About the horse. If you hold down the horse button while moving the horse will run to you and you'll grab onto it, you never stop moving and it's incredibly useful and much faster than stopping.
