Diaochan isn’t a playable character, but she sure knows how to keep things interesting. A legendary beauty and master manipulator, she’s central to some of the most dramatic moments in Dynasty Warriors: Origins. Here’s everything you need to know about her, from training missions to bonds and, of course, her voice actors.

Diaochan Trainings

Training Missions Overview

Training missions are where your companions “help” you by making you run errands or prove your worth in battle. For Diaochan, these missions are tied to unlocking skills and progressing your bond.

Currently, there’s not much info on Diaochan-specific training missions (translation: the devs might’ve gotten distracted and forgot to add them). Keep an eye out, though—new missions could pop up anytime.

What We Know:

Training missions reward Skill Points, which you can use to unlock shiny new skills.
Expect to interact with Diaochan during key chapters for possible training opportunities.

Diaochan Bonds

Bond Scenes and Requirements

Bonding with Diaochan means unlocking conversations that give you a deeper understanding of her story. It also boosts her opinion of you, which, let’s be honest, is probably the highlight of your in-game social life.

Here’s a rundown of her bond levels and how to unlock them:

To increase bonds:

Complete training missions.
Chat her up whenever you can. (Diaochan’s not hard to find, thankfully.)
Fulfill her requests like the loyal sidekick you are.

Diaochan Voice Actor

English VA: Kayli Mills (who brings charm and sass to every line).
Japanese VA: Hitomi Ueda (the voice of elegance and intrigue).

Fun fact: Diaochan’s voice actors make her sound even more beautiful and dangerous than her reputation suggests.

NPC Overview

Name: Diaochan
Circa: 176 – ??? (She’s so mysterious, even history doesn’t know when she checked out.)
Bio: A stunning songstress raised by Wang Yun, Diaochan agreed to his devious plan to destroy Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu’s bromance. Spoiler alert: It worked. Dong Zhuo met his end at Lu Bu’s hands, thanks to her cunning manipulation.

Why Diaochan Matters

Diaochan isn’t just eye candy; she’s a key figure in the storyline, using her wits and charm to shift the tides of power. Whether you’re there for the drama, the bonds, or just her amazing voice lines, she’s a character worth paying attention to—even if you can’t play as her.

So, go out there, talk to her, and try not to get too attached. She’s great, but let’s be honest—you’ll always be second to Lu Bu.
