Suggested Use
Most characters should equip the Way of the Musou, because of the fire that is imbued with the strikes, and the ending, which usually covers a wide range, useful for crowd clearing. However, some characters' true musous lift opponents off the ground, making the musou deal half damage, while their regular musous make enemies stay planted, dealing full damage. Thus, those with true musous that lift enemies off the ground while their regular musou doesn't should avoid using this item or at the very least, use the Ice Orb in conjunction with their true musou to avoid as much juggling as possible.

In Dynasty Warriors: Online this item disappears after one use and is used mainly to take down an enemy quickly with musou. It's effects can be dampered by rain, but this is an uncommon occurrence. There is also an ability in game that acts like this item, but every single attack does twice the damage.
