Team Abilities

Team Abilities are passive skills that help strengthen the player's attack team in the Warriors Orochi series. This gameplay mechanic was originally inspired by the comprehensive skill system used in Samurai Warriors 2. Equipping these abilities provide the team with various beneficial effects such as stronger attack power, better luck, faster recovery, etc. They also stack together in proportion to how many have already been mastered. Using the right combination of abilities may prove to be essential in clearing certain objectives or surviving in difficult stages. For instance, abilities that increase mobility are invaluable in speed-based missions whereas life-regenerating abilities can help counteract the harmful effects of burning environments.

Abilities (Warriors Orochi & Warriors Orochi 2)
Starting from the first title, characters are given a set amount of abilities they can learn by accomplishing specific tasks during battle. Though these tasks may vary greatly from person to person, they progressively become more challenging as new abilities are unlocked. The team abilities themselves are divided into three different categories: Skill, Strength, and Support.

Skill-based abilities are generally useful for augmenting the overall stats of the player's team. Strength-based abilities, however, mostly focus on enhancing the offensive capabilities of a character. As for Support-based abilities, their role is to help ensure the team's survival by promoting faster level growth and recovery rate. Up to seven abilities can be equipped at a time.

Abilities (Warriors Orochi 3)
The third game limits the usage capacity of team abilities by providing each character with only one skill in their possession, thus narrowing the player's options. Their effectiveness, however, increases as the character's proficiency level rises up. Like in the previous games, duplicates of these abilities are also stackable with one another. Ultimate provides each character with a second skill to further boost their team.
