Strategies are special skills in Warriors Orochi 2 that produce beneficial effects for the player's allies on the battlefield. By fulfilling certain conditions, a team member will automatically execute his or her strategy to help change the flow of battle to their army's advantage. Each one has a different effect as do the means in triggering them.
Most of the time, the type of strategy a character has is determined by their personal characteristics and talents. Properly executing these strategies at the right time and place is essential since they only work once per team member for every battle.
