Samurai Warriors Chronicles/Items

Items are objects found throughout Samurai Warriors Chronicles that give a bonus or benefit to the player. They are earned through defeating officers, breaking boxes or haystacks, and completing missions. Some items are a one time use, such as healing the player, while others are equitable items that can be given to an officer or used in weapon synthesis to build a stronger weapon.

Temporary Items
These items only appear for a brief time on the map and must be collected to receive their bonus. The item box and weapon box are one of the main ways players can obtain equitable items and extra weapons for improving their character's stats.

Equitable Items
Equitable items are items that the player can only manage outside of battle. They giver permanent boosts for as long as the item is equipt. They can also be used for item synthesis within the upgrade weapon system of the store. The items give both stat bonuses and skills, which passively remain in effect as long as the item is equipped. The list of skills is as follows:
 * Healing - Increase effectiveness of recovery items.
 * Frenzy - Increase Attack and Defense when Health Gauge is red.
 * Aplomb - Increase attack to match combo count.
 * Focus - Sometimes your Spirit Gauge will not be used up when using a Spirit Charge.
 * Revival - Enables you to recover once when your Health Gauge is empty.
 * Truth - Makes all Musou Attacks into True Musou Attacks.
 * Stability - Lowers the chance of being blown back by enemy attacks.
 * Stealth - Prevents you from taking damage just after sidesteping.
 * Boost - Increases the effective time of Battle Skills.
 * Flame - Increases effectiveness of the Flame element.
 * Wind - Increases effectiveness of the Wind element.
 * Flash - Increases effectiveness of the Flash element.
 * Ice - Increases effectiveness of the Ice element.
 * Slay - Increase effectiveness of the Slay element.
