Sacred Treasures

Sacred Treasures (神器, Jingi) are artifacts of varying origin that allow the player to perform magic commands in Warriors Orochi 4. Replacing the Type Action mechanic from previous titles, these commands are divided into three power tiers, and are known as God Spells (神術, Shinjutsu).


 * Normal Magic - Basic magical attack. Hold R1 and press to activate. Consumes a small portion of the player's magic gauge. The most standard animation for this often involves the user floating in midair for the duration, and for some spells, can also be used while moving.
 * Charge Magic - Advanced magical attack. Hold R1 and press undefined to activate. Fully consumes the player's magic gauge. Often a more powerful delayed attack that can be directed and/or delayed, especially with a targeting reticle of sorts.
 * Unique Magic - Powerful magic attack unique to each character. Hold R1 and press to activate. Consumes the player's magic and Musou gauges.

Characters entering deification are granted a powerful secondary unique magic (replacing their first) and has infinite magic gauge for the duration. For Zeus, Athena, Perseus, Ares, Hades, Gaia and Odin, their personal weapons double as Sacred Treasures which give them unique God Spells from the rest of the cast.

All God Spells when activated, provide brief invincibility frames for their animations. However, both charge and unique spells will both reset and cancel out the combo-hit counter.
