** from ''7'' on this is at least a DownplayedTrope as generic officers of importance are given unique looks in the variation of "using a character customizer to generate the unique look". You'll still see plenty of the same armor, faces, and colors but each character tends to be unique enough you could pick Cao Shuan out of a line up from Cao Rui and Cao Mao despite all being wei officers.

* MoneyIsExperiencePoints: In many of the main games and spinoffs, you can level up characters by spending money at a dojo in addition to fighting in battles. Some games would even let you raise their stats individually. However, you could not level your characters higher than the highest level party member. This would save a lot of time from having to play stages over and over to level-grind each character. Money can serve various other purposes such as buying items and temporary buffs, but leveling up characters was typically the game's biggest Money Sink.

** Another version is the Rage Musou, performed by activating a Musou when the character's rage meter is in use. This attack lasts much longer than an average Musou and will cause defeated enemies to drop experience point pick-ups.

** Depending on the game, there are several character models used to represent various important generals or warlords that aren't notable enough to have unique ones. In ''Dynasty Warriors 5'', for example, one particular cutscene drew attention to the warlord Yuan Shu, but it turns out he merely used the generic "officer" model. The only truly unique NPC model was that of the Emperor, but that came to an end from ''Dynasty Warriors 7'' when Cao Mao also uses the Emperor model (due to also being an emperor).
** This can lead to hilarity when a character has a unique voice for story reasons, but then uses a generic voice in gameplay. As an example, in ''Dynasty Warriors 5'' the sorcerer Yu Ji uses the generic "strategist" model and taunts Sun Ce with a unique, light-hearted and mocking voice. Upon his defeat, he then uses the generic model's much deeper and rougher voice.

Virion is much more pragmatic, and can ''only'' win [[PyrrhicVictory at great cost]].

* IdealistVsPragmatist: In some of the games in the series, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong act as the Pragmatists to Liu Bei's Idealist. They believe in Liu Bei's dream of restoring the Han but are willing to go to great lengths to achieve it. Liu Bei, however, has a strong belief in "honour" and has lines he's not willing to cross (most notably not wanting to wage war on his kinsman Liu Zhang in order to seize his territory). In at least one game it's implied Pang Tong pulls a SuicideByCop in order to ''force'' Liu Bei into action against Liu Zhang.
** In earlier parts of the story when they're still working together, Cao Cao is the Pragmatist to Liu Bei's Idealist. Cao Cao believes that the reason the Han failed is that it was weak, therefore a strong central power is necessary to properly restore peace to the land... and Cao Cao is willing to do whatever it takes to bring back peace. Liu Bei, on the other hand, insists that a proper restoration of the Han will be enough to bring back peace and so advocates for minimal force where possible. Cao sometimes agrees with him... if only because it's the [[CombatPragmatist logical]] and [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic]] thing to do.

The somersault allows for the player's officer to move into or away from combat quickly, and is useful for moving across structures in the game's open world. The somersault can also become a WallJump if used close enough to a wall. There is also an accessory that can be equipped that allows for multiple somersaults to be performed in succession.
