Charge Attacks

Charge attacks or Power Attacks are powerful attacks that can be executed by pressing undefined. Combining charge attacks with normal attacks. To abbreviate these combos, sometimes fans refer to charge related combos by stating C and a variable number for the charge attack's sequence in the chain. For instance,, , , undefined would by called C4 since the charge acts as the last attack. A lone charge can also be called C1.

The formula for this combo chain has evolved over the years and each Warriors related series adds a new element to the system.

Expanding the original game's combos, Dynasty Warriors 2 began the series with a four button combo chain. The following title adds two more charge attacks, C5 and C6. During a C5, the enemy is launched upwards and continually pressing undefined triggers a follow up attack unique to each officer called Charge Drive. C6 is a unique combination of attacks with a follow up attack. Dynasty Warriors 4 adds multiple follow ups to C3, making it the ideal solo officer killer move. Its sequel also require multiple taps for certain characters's jumping charges.

Dynasty Warriors 6 simplifies the combo system by making the charge attacks their own four-button combo chain.
