Alternate Musou Attack - Mountain Strike (大山隆落衝; lit. "Great Mountain Rumbling Charge"): R1 + Circle: Smashes the earth to produce a stalagmite before causing it to crumble via aerial strike.

Rage Attack: Rakes the ground with weapon multiple times while moving forward, throwing nearby enemies in mid-air. It ends with a final crushing slam that causes the area to tremble with a powerful burst of energy.
True Rage Attack: If Lu Su manages to perform 100 or more hits while in the middle of a Rage attack, he will start plowing in circles repeatedly while enveloped within an electrified tornado. Eventually, the tornado dissipates in time for Lu Su to rapidly crush the ground a few more times before doing the usual finisher.

Unique Attacks
Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Downed + Square Square Square Square: Charges forward while raking weapon on the ground continuously, then pole vaults in the air to unleash a powerful ground slam. Based on Lu Su's second EX attack from Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends.

Aerial Musou Attack: X Circle: Performs an aerial spin swipe done diagonally, lifting foes up in the air alongside Lu Su.
