Warriors Orochi 3 Wonder Icon

Wonder (閃, literally translates to "Flash") is a character type introduced in the Warriors Orochi series, appearing in the third entry. Characters in this category are represented by the color violet, with R1 Type Actions that focus more on being combined with other attacks in various ways (depending on the character); some of them are notably buff-based Type Actions that the Power-types originally possessed.

Through their tandem-based nature, they also gain the Spirit Charge (影技, Kagewaza, lit. "Shadow Art") technique a la Samurai Warriors 3; this is done by pressing X during any connecting normal attack, charge attack or R1 Type Action at the cost of some of the character's Musou (which costs less than what their Type Action costs). If any non-Musou Attack is done during a prior attack (such as a Type Action) with a lasting hitbox, then it can be Spirit Cancelled at any point during or before its animation. Akin to Sengoku Musou 3: Empires, Wonder types can now use the Spirit Charge on any airborne attacks, especially with moves that keep the character in midair.

The Spirit Charge in Ultimate has a radically changed physics compared to the one used in Samurai Warriors. It has more range, requires less precision, and can activate weapon attributes for more damage. However, the damage done is minimal and the animation's ending point is low. The Charge cannot cancel-loop into and from itself unless interrupted, and certain characters still Spirit Charge along the ground if cancelled. It can also inflict critical hits with charge attacks or EX Attacks upon staggering targets, with validity lasting a set time.

However, if a Spirit Charge infused with the Echo/Storm attribute is taken into account, then the Spirit Charge itself or any other direct-hitting moves themselves must inflict a proper stagger state for the critical modifier to be applied properly (even if incoming hits from anything else and/or the said attributes cancel out the stagger state that has occurred on a target prior). Said critical hits upon a staggered/Spirit-Charge-connected-target can also be inflicted by any of the character's other incoming attacks as long as a charge attack is inputted, regardless if the charge attack's damaging window comes out or not. The damage modifier also works with Type Actions, but only certain characters' Type Actions are more fit for this type of condition compared to others (mainly moves with lasting hitboxes formed around the character once activated/performed).

This character type is exclusive to Warriors Orochi 3 and does not appear in its sequel, though the Spirit Cancel is added to the Technique type in the said sequel.
