Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has a complex combat system full of different elements to take into account when going through each battlefield. Morale Rank is among them, and it’s a pretty important one. This feature can determine the outcome of each fight because it affects the amount of damage you take and how strong your enemies are.
Knowing how the Morale system works is important from the beginning of the game, as this element will significantly affect your adventure. You can find all the information in this guide.
What is Morale Rank?
Morale Rank is a measure to determine how powerful you are in the game. A high Morale Rank equals better stats, as you will take less damage from your foes. Moreover, many Wizardry Spells can only be used after reaching a certain Morale level. This value can be increased up to 25, but you won’t be the only one who can benefit from that.
Every enemy you encounter also has a Morale Rank displayed just above their head, which can be lower, equal, or higher than yours. In the first case, you will see this number colored in green. If the enemy’s Morale Rank is 1 to 4 levels higher than yours, it will be yellow. If this value is 5 or more levels higher than yours, it will be colored in red.
The higher their Morale Rank is compared to yours, the greater damage they will be able to inflict on you. Be prepared for a tough fight if the difference is significant and to your disadvantage. On the other hand, your chances of dropping rare items will be above average.
How to check your Morale Rank level
Your Morale Rank level in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty can be easily checked by looking at the number placed above your health bar. When you start a new mission, it will be equal to zero. However, you can increase it up to level 25, which will be extremely helpful against bosses.
How to increase Morale Rank in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
This game lets you effectively increase your Morale Rank level in different ways. First and foremost, you can do it by defeating enemies. Hitting your foes with a Martial Art, Spirit attack, or Fatal Strike also work toward earning Morale points.
Marking and Battle Flags are important as well. Every time you raise one of them, your Fortitude Rank will be increased. This number is displayed in the upper section of the screen, near the right corner. It plays a significant role in the game, as your Morale Rank can’t fall below your Fortitude Rank. For example, if your Fortitude Rank equals 15, your Morale Rank will always be 15 or higher and never drop below this value.
There are many Battle and Marking Flags scattered around each battlefield. The first type serves as a checkpoint, and your health will be replenished here. You can also level up, learn new Wizardry Spells, recruit allies, and more. Marking Flags aren’t that versatile, as they are mostly landmarks in the area, usually hidden in places off the beaten track. However, they will also bring your health back to max.
Both will increase your Fortitude Rank, so ensure you find them all before starting a boss fight, as the game difficulty can’t be changed from the settings. You can monitor your progression by looking at the right corner of the screen, just below the number that shows your actual Fortitude Rank.
Can Morale Rank be lowered?
You will lose Morale Rank points if you die or get hit by a Critical Blow. In the first case, when you respawn, your Morale will equal your Fortitude Rank, but you can regain the points you lost by defeating the same enemy that killed you. If you get beaten by a boss, your points will be restored when you restart the battle. If you get hit by a Critical Blow, your Morale Rank will be automatically lowered by one point. You need to earn it back by fighting.
If you get stuck against a particular enemy, max your Morale Rank level to 25 before battling them again. You will have a higher chance of winning the fight. And if you need more help with the game, you can check our Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty beginner’s guide.
