Appraisal allows you to get more, better weapons with more slots and traits, and early on especially it can help you get equipment that will let you mow through enemies far faster than you otherwise could. If you get a weapon with the Appraisal trait early on, I highly recommend you equip it and use it liberally.But for story purposes, this will rarely be a problem. You can also check your equipment and see if you've acquired stronger weapons, or perhaps another character has a more powerful weapon that would better suit the challenge ahead. If for some reason you do seem to be struggling, try revisiting previous areas to pull in some more experience and Growth Points, which you can then allocate to whatever character you wish. If you need to get somewhere faster, don't forget your mount button on RB + B! It's good to swap characters right after a charge attack to help chain moves together and fill your Musou gauge, and you should use Magic whenever your Magic gauge has enough juice in it, as these attacks are more powerful. You can basically just spam attacks to demolish the small enemies in front of you, using basic and charge attacks. To get where you're going you'll have to clear lots of enemies and allow me to reassure you that in Warriors Orochi 4, you'll rarely have trouble doing this. If you're lost, try revisiting areas you already cleared. Take a look at your map to track down your next objective, and beware that sometimes it isn't obvious or that you'll have to backtrack some to get to it. In any given battle, you'll need to complete specific objectives such as capturing a certain area, defending it, defeating a large enemy, or similar.
