Counter Attack: Counter + L1 + Square: Raises both arms in a crosswise manner while letting out several wires.

Fighting Style[]

In Dynasty Warriors 6, Sima Yi's weapon of choice are gloves that protrude long and thin wires from his fingertips. Despite the claws' small and fragile appearance, the wires that protrude from them have good range. He gains a good amount of crowd control attacks, especially during higher Renbu levels, and relies considerably less on magic than before. In some ways, he resembles a long-range character, as his attack efficiency is somewhat weakened while he is close to opponents. However, this setback can be bypassed if the player has mastered when to properly evade.

When controlled by the AI in Strikeforce, Sima Yi's attacks will be imbued with the earth element by default.

If it hits an enemy with 8 dark mark stacks, any remaining target will receive 10 stacks of the dark mark. For Thunder, the embers interaction with it increases dark flame damage by 50% and reduces cooldown time of next EX attack by 8 seconds, all within a duration time of 5 seconds. For Dim, it increases dark flame damage by 98% within 10 seconds and imbues attacks with a chance to deal bonus dark flame damage equivalent to 80% of attack.

For Gale, normal attacks will fire two wind blades instead of one while restoring health equal to 22% of attack for every enemy officer struck by it. For Thunder, it reduces the super armor of targets by 300 and stiffens them if they collapse from its initial effects. For Dim, it causes each dark mark stack to reduce the target's defense by 1.3%. Bonuses increase the higher the combat soul's ranking rises. Upon attaining Musou Mode, it also adds block points for Thunder and increases penetration within 6 seconds for Dim.
Human Combat Soul Skill: Causes EX attacks and Musou attacks to trigger the Dim elemental effect while increasing dark flame damage by 180%. Bonus increases the higher the combat soul's ranking rises. Upon attaining Musou Mode, its effects merely intensify to greater amounts.

Unique Attacks

Unique Attacks
Unique Flow Attack Finisher (Lightning Sword): Enemy Stunned + Square Square Square Square: Does a sweeping spin slash while crouching, then leaps up to perform a vertical slice followed by a ground stab that generates wind updrafts around the area. The move itself is taken from the lightning sword moveset's sixth charge attack in the eighth game.
Unique Flow Attack Finisher (Alternate Lightning Sword): Enemy Downed + Square Square Square Square: Sima Shi's finisher has him leap forward and do a crouching two-handed spin slash that leaves behind streaks of lightning traveling across the screen while facing away from the target. Partially based on his first EX attack from the previous installment.
Unique Trigger Attack (Lightning Sword): R1 + Square: Lands a diagonal slash to the upper left and a rightward swipe that stuns foes for a brief period of time.
Unique Trigger Attack (Alternate Lightning Sword): R1 + Square: Imbues own sword with electricity and swings it upward to summon a lightning bolt that stuns nearby opponents.

This move's animations are taken from Sima Shi's second EX attack in Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends.
Special Technique: R1 + Circle: Delivers a series of wide rapid slashes done back and forth with each swing sending out trails of lightning. As this goes on, Sima Shi gradually ascends to the air at a quick pace. It ends with him doing a crouching spin slash that generates an electric radial shockwave to scatter surrounding foes. This particular move combines the lightning sword's fourth charge and Sima Shi's first EX attack from the previous installment.
Musou Attack: Circle: Unleashes a wide slash to the upper right followed by several slicing motions done in arcing loops. Sima Shi ends the assault by sending the opponents in front of him airborne via charged thrust and repeatedly stabbing them upward with multiple piercing projectiles. The attack's finisher is imbued with the slash element and happens to be based on Sima Shi's Death Sentence Musou from previous games.
Aerial Musou Attack: X Circle: After hovering in mid-air, Sima Shi dives with a falling diagonal-angle stab at the closest target. He then freezes and other nearby foes with an icy whirlwind before launching them up in time to deliver a slanted slash downward. Based on Sima Shi's Black Beak Musou attack from the eighth game.

Fighting Style[]

Keys: Square Normal Attack • Triangle Charge Attack Circle Musou X Jump/Mount

Base Game[]

Sima Zhao is affiliated with the striking sword in this title. When equipped with it, Sima Zhao can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

EX Attack 1: Square Square Triangle Triangle: Sima Zhao punts forward with his right leg while doing a stumbling flying kick. If the attack connects, he then surfs on his downed target face-up along the ground for a short duration. The move can be maneuvered to plow over other nearby foes.
EX Attack 2: Square Square Square Square Square Triangle Triangle: Twirls blade for a bit before waving it out downward with a damaging aura with notable range. Temporarily enchants Sima Zhao's sword with fire for about 9 seconds, causing each visible slash trail to burn opponents with improved attack power, though this effect instantly wears off when switching weapons. Introduced in Xtreme Legends.
Musou Attack - Fireball Kick (轟炎回転; lit. "Roaring Flame Revolution"): Circle: Creates a huge energy ball via upward sword wave, then spin kicks it forward to launch foes into the air. The energy ball itself travels at a very far distance, making it ideal for reaching enemies further away. Both phases can break through the enemy's guard, making it quite useful in battles with high difficulty levels. In Xtreme Legends, this attack suffered from minor bugs that made it less effective before being fixed in several update patches.
Alternate Musou Attack - Inferno Burst (轟炎解放; lit. "Roaring Flame Liberation"): R1 + Circle: After briefly shrugging, Sima Zhao slashes upward with a blue fire-trailing strike to knock nearby foes skyward. He then finishes up with a short-ranged fiery blast from his finger before stumbling back and blowing on it as if it was a gun barrel. Can cause guarding foes to stagger momentarily.
Aerial Musou Attack - Purple Inferno (紫炎滑翔; lit. "Purple Flame Glide"): X Circle: After running his blade along his left foot to ignite it with blue flames, Sima Zhao performs a series of wide aerial slashes back and forth that send out blue streaks of fiery energy, then finishes with an airborne circular slash while turning in the air. Sets foes on fire while juggling them repeatedly.
Rage Attack: Does a quick horizontal spinning slash while skipping around continuously. Sima Zhao then pauses for a short moment before delivering a sudden energy burst via powered slash to blow away surviving enemies.
True Rage Attack: The 100-hit combo version of Sima Zhao's Rage attack has him pick up the pace by swiping quickly at varying directions with his weapon now covered in flames, adding several fiery slashes from clockwise to counterclockwise repeatedly once the cycle is at an end.

Fighting Style[]

Keys: Square Flow Attack • Triangle Reactive Attack • Circle Musou X Jump/Mount

Base Game[]

Zhang Chunhua is affiliated with the steel whip sword in this title. When equipped with it, Zhang Chunhua can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

Unique Attacks
Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Standing + Square Square Square Square: Knee slides on the ground while twirling weapon continuously in an overhead manner, launching foes impeding Zhang Chunhua's path. This attack is directly taken from the chain whip moveset's fifth charge in previous installments.

Musou Attack: Circle: Twirls around and unleashes several lashes done in vertical looping motions. After pausing briefly, Zhang Chunhua uses her weapon to ensnare a nearby foe and hack at them repeatedly in an attempt to draw it away from their body. As the victim kneels in agony in front of her, she then swats them away while producing several round slash marks to repel other surrounding foes.
