Warriors Orochi Power Icon

Power (力) is a character category introduced in the Warriors Orochi series and represented by the color red. If two or more power characters perform a Musou Chain together, the Multi attribute will be automatically activated.

Their Type Action (R1) uses a hefty amount of the user's Musou for a "special art" (必殺技, Hissatsu Waza, lit. Sure-Killing Art) in the form of a damaging attack, a power-based aura buff or both; they often come with limited invulnerability during its execution, and focus the most on damage compared to the other types.

Power-types in Warriors Orochi 3 can use their Type Actions to cancel out most of their attacks, but not all retain buff-based Type Actions. They also have a Hyper Armor function to prevent flinching, but can be broken through by Charge Attacks, Musou Attacks, and airborne or higher-leveled foes. However, a new physics change allows their Hyper Armor to be bypassed by grounded-hits via incoming attacks, allowing them to remain airborne.

Warriors Orochi 4 gives Power Types the ability to guard cancel (cancelling into a guard; not the other way around) via holding down L1 until a white flash occurs, further expanding their defensive options as well as giving them cancel-mechanics. Another notable change is now their ability to inflict a guard break on any of their normally blockable charge attacks.
