Samurai Warriors 4/Items

Items in Samurai Warriors 4 are divided into two types: consumables and heirlooms. Consumables primarily consist of items that sustain the player's longevity or enhance attacks in some way. They can only be used once per battle.

Heirlooms, on the other hand, are special tools with unique properties. Each one is historically associated with a particular officer. Rather than disappearing after one use, these items undergo a cooldown time before they become available for usage again. Players initially have a slim probability of acquiring them by defeating a character under certain conditions. Meeting those requirements repeatedly helps raise the success rate needed to obtain an heirloom by 7%.

Unlike in Samurai Warriors 3, there is more freedom in selecting items now due to the return of individual slots.
