Unique Attacks

Unique Trigger Attack: R1 + Square: Hits foes with several flailing twirls before doing a somersaulting spin attack to daze them.
Special Technique: R1 + Circle: Thrusts one meteor hammer forward as it immediately gathers heat, then rotates it around twice before slamming the ground to trigger a massive fiery explosion covering the area in front of Xu Sheng.
Musou Attack: Circle: Rotates weapons around from clockwise to counterclockwise repeatedly. Xu Sheng then rotates one meteor hammer to the front before pivoting in the air to unleash a powerful ground slam. The resulting impact produces an air blast that sends numerous enemies flying away while inflicting them with wind damage.
