How to Obtain Shingen Takeda's Fifth Weapon in Samurai Warriors

Preparation

• 1

  Get the Matsukaze Saddle. This is essential for this battle since it involves running around like crazy, and anyone who has played Shingen knows speed is not his strong suit.

• 2

  Reset his stats. Even with a fully powered Shingen, attack power is not his forte. This mission will require swift elimination of the opposition.

• 3

  Get a good Solar Gem with at least +30.

• 4

  Save often.

• 5

  Equip Shingen with the Matsukaze Saddle, your Solar Gem, Vixen Tail, Power Bracer and Himiko's Rune.

• 6

  Take a deep breath and get psyched.

The Battle

  Load up Shingen's Kawanakajima Showdown on Hard difficulty. Don't bother setting it to chaos, this one is tough enough.
