SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 (EP)

There are 70 levels across all of Nobunaga and Mitsuhide's stories, as well as the Reverie Chapter.

You must successfully earn an S rank in all 70 in order to claim this. I would recommend playing on Easy for this, as difficulty does not appear to matter.

This is done by completing a level quickly (time), getting a TON of kills (enemies defeated) chaining as many hits together as possible (highest chain) and killing as many enemy officers as possible (enemy officer KOs).

The categories are very vague in terms of what is considered good, but I will break it down a bit to try to help, just based off of what I've seen while playing.

Time - As fast as physically possible is preferred. (obvious)
Officer KOs - KO as many, if not all enemy officers. You will know they are an officer by the larger red dot on the mini map, and you can check via the pause menu if any remain on the enemies' side.
Enemy KOs - This varies from level to level, but on Easy, normally around 2000 per level will net you an S.
Highest Combo Count - I always aimed for 5000, and that never seems to fail. Aim for 5000 and you should be fine.

I've located this guide which details a way to make a rather OP weapon, which allows you to move extremely quickly, even at low levels, and essentially lets you melt enemy officers. This weapon even works on Nightmare difficulty. I highly recommend using this as early as possible to make the rest of the game a breeze.


To re-iterate the video, you will need to find an 8-slot silver tier weapon of any kind, and use the blacksmith to forge it into a Ninja Blade weapon.

Once you've done that, add skill gems to the weapon. The following skill gems are recommended by the video.

Attack (Mandatory)
Attack Speed (Mandatory)
Projectile Attack
Dominance
Courage
Momentum

I've attached Range and Underdog to my copy for the final two slots, as increased attack range helps greatly, and you end up knocking enemies airborne quite a lot, so Underdog allows you to do bonus damage while they're in the air.

Keep in mind you may need to use weapon XP to bring new officers up to speed to be able to use the ninja blade. I made two at differing weapon tiers to allow them to use a less-OP version of the sword and work their way up to the S-rank version.

You can still get the achievement even if you get an S rank on different difficulties, I, for example, finished about 55 missions on hard difficulty but then switched to easy and played the rest, so no you don't have to finish them all on the same difficulty.
