Power Stars are crucial for progression in Guitar Hero Warriors Of Rock, unlocking new content and challenges. Understanding how to effectively earn them using each character’s unique power is key to conquering the game. This guide breaks down the specific powers that grant bonus Power Stars, ensuring you rock every song to its fullest potential.
Unleashing Individual Character Powers for Bonus Stars
Four characters in Warriors of Rock possess powers that, when mastered, each contribute an extra 5 Power Stars to your song performance. Let’s dive into how to activate and maximize these individual powers:
Johnny Napalm’s Mohawk Multiplier Mastery
Johnny Napalm’s power is visually represented by a green mohawk that encircles your score multiplier. To earn Power Stars with Johnny, keep your score multiplier above 3x. As long as you maintain this high multiplier, the mohawk will progressively turn green. Each full rotation of the green mohawk around the multiplier earns you one Power Star. You can achieve this up to five times per song, netting you a total of 5 bonus Power Stars. Once you’ve collected all five, the mohawk indicator will disappear. Consistent Star Power activation is key to keeping your multiplier high and maximizing Johnny’s power.
Axel Steel’s Ankh Accumulation for Star Power
Axel Steel’s power focuses on rewarding consistent Power Star acquisition. Five Ankh symbols appear above your Power Star counter when playing as Axel. Each time you naturally earn a Power Star through gameplay (hitting notes and deploying Star Power), you will also gain an Ankh. To claim all 5 bonus Power Stars from Axel, you must accumulate 5 Ankhs and, crucially, still possess them at the end of the song. Be warned: failing a song as Axel will result in losing your accumulated Ankhs upon revival. Therefore, skillful play and avoiding failures are paramount to fully utilize Axel’s Power Star potential.
Judy Nails’ Rock Meter Extension Rewards
Judy Nails’ power is tied to skillful play and effectively filling your Rock Meter. When playing as Judy, you’ll notice a small extension atop the green section of your Rock Meter. Playing well, hitting notes accurately, and maintaining streaks will fill your Rock Meter as usual, and subsequently, fill this added extension. Each time you completely fill this extension, you earn a Power Star. Filling the extension a total of five times throughout the song will grant you the maximum of 5 Power Stars from Judy’s power. After achieving this, the extension on the Rock Meter will disappear.
Casey Lynch’s Streak-Based Star Power Circle
Casey Lynch’s power is perhaps the most challenging of the individual powers to master, especially on harder songs. Above the life meter, an orange-ish circle with an inner bar indicates Casey’s power. Maintaining a note streak will cause this bar to fill up, similar to Johnny’s mohawk. Filling this bar completely five times during a song will reward you with 5 Power Stars. The difficulty lies in maintaining long streaks, particularly on more complex tracks where note misses are more likely. Precision and consistent rhythm are crucial for maximizing Casey’s streak-based Power Star bonus.
General Star Power Strategy for Remaining Stars
The other character powers in Warriors of Rock contribute to the remaining 20 Power Stars available in each song. While these powers don’t have specific visual cues or meters, the core strategy remains consistent: maximize Star Power activation, minimize missed notes, and strive for overall excellent performance. By playing to the best of your ability across all sections of a song and utilizing Star Power strategically, you’ll naturally accumulate these additional Power Stars.
To track your progress and identify which Power Stars you might be missing during a song, pay close attention to the visual indicators mentioned above for Johnny, Axel, Judy, and Casey. Additionally, monitor your overall Star Power counter to gauge your general performance and Power Star accumulation throughout your rock journey in Warriors of Rock.
