Jump/Mount

Main Attacks: Charge Attack 1: : Waves fan around to shoot an elemental projectile. Can be powered up to fire three or five simultaneous shots at once with an orb equipped. Causes grounded foes to either collapse and airborne foes to be flung away. Note that this attack cannot pierce through enemy crowds, so caution is advised when using it even with a high-leveled orb. If Sima Yi is equipped with any maximized orb except for fire or lightning, he will be able to shoot five projectiles by default.; Charge Attack 2: : Hurls fan upward, enabling it to scoop nearby foes along the way.; Charge Attack 3: : Fires a purple laser that dazes foes from a considerable distance. Has some homing capabilities, making it even more useful than its earlier incarnation. Tap repeatedly for additional hits.; Charge Attack 4: : Telekinetically hurls fan forward, causing it to swerve from right to left repeatedly while knocking away any approaching foe. Unlike in the previous title, Sima Yi will quickly hover back as the fan travels forth, making it difficult to maneuver. To compensate, a button input extension has been added in which Sima Yi will hover forward with his fan circling around him clockwise to knock more enemies aside.; Charge Attack 5: : Manipulates fan into levitating upwards while scooping enemies along the way. Tapping again will have Sima Yi float up and cast his targets down with a fan toss.; Charge Attack 6: : Fires purple lasers to the front, right, left, and front again. Has some homing capabilities.; Normal Attack 1: : Delivers a short rightward swing, a strike to the upper left, a diagonal swipe in the other direction, and a spin slash that knocks foes away.; Normal Attack 2: : Similar to the first normal attack string, but adds a round swing to the left.; Normal Attack 3: : Similar to the second normal attack string, but includes a diagonal slash towards the right as the combo finisher.

Musou Attacks: Musou Attack: : Telekinetically manipulates fan into continuously firing three lasers while swerving to the right and left. The barrage ends with Sima Yi shooting five lasers in a fan formation. Its homing capabilities allow the lasers to target foes much easier than before.; True Musou Attack: Low Health + : Similar to the normal Musou animation, but fires three lasers forward before unleashing several more in a frontal arc. Can apply elemental damage depending on what orb Sima Yi is equipped with.

Auxiliary Attacks: Dash Attack: Dashing + : Manipulates fan into swerving back and forth in front of Sima Yi as he hovers on the ground.; Jump Attack: : Telekinetically throws fan downward before catching it back.; Jump Charge: : Shoots a laser on the ground, triggering a powerful explosion that sends foes flying to the air.; Parry: L1 + : Instantly performs the unextended fourth charge attack to counter incoming blows.; Announcement: R3: Sima Yi surrounds himself with glowing purple runes, letting out a radial wave that breaks the guard of nearby foes and leaving them staggered for a brief moment of time. Aura may change color in Free Mode to match the user's chosen side.

Can be performed while in the middle of doing the normal horse attack string.; Horse Normal Attack: : Swats foes away with fan swings done to the left and right repeatedly.; Horse Musou Attack: : Delivers fierce swipes done continuously.

Fighting Style

When controlled by the AI in Dynasty Warriors 5, most of Sima Yi's charge attacks will be imbued with the ice element by default.

Due to Sima Yi gaining more ice attacks in Warriors Orochi, it may be superfluous to imbue his weapon with the Ice attribute. Instead, players ought to give him a combination of Bolt, Flash, Slay, and Agility, turning him into a devastating crowd clearer.

Raising Sima Yi's Renbu level to 3 will cause the attack to produce three ice orbs that slowly detonate while moving in a fan arc. Gaining infinite Renbu adds one more ice orb for a total of four.

If the attack connects, Sima Yi will use the wires to drag his opponent closer before impaling them with the whole claw and shoving them violently with the other one.; Grapple Charge: L1 + : Causes wires to come out in a straight line while crossing both arms. Upon connecting a foe with the move, Sima Yi will extend the wires while spinning the victim within it repeatedly. The wires are eventually cut loose and the target immediately collapses on the floor.; Counter Attack: Counter + L1 + : Raises both arms in a crosswise manner while letting out several wires.; Counter Charge: Counter + L1 + : Swings one set of wires towards the right before raising the other to perform a spin slash.; Deadlock Attack: Deadlock + : Upon winning a deadlock, Sima Yi will implant wires on the opponent's body, lift them up and down repeatedly, and violently drop them on the ground while producing a tremor.

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.
