Xu Shu is affiliated with the sword and hook in this title. When equipped with it, Xu Shu can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

EX Attack 1:

: Rushes forward at a short distance to rapidly slice foes with multiple round slashes to the front, ending the assault with a turning inward cut imbued with lightning. The last hit causes surrounding foes to immediately scatter.

EX Attack 2:

: Sends numerous enemies flying via wide lightning-imbued swing to the left, then ejects them further by thrusting attached hook upward at a slanted angle. Introduced in Xtreme Legends.

Musou Attack - Flashcut (閃撃; lit. "Flash Assault"):

: Performs a series of quick running slashes that cut through enemies in the blink of an eye, gradually juggling them in the air before they get knocked away.

Alternate Musou Attack - Hidden Surprise (照心; lit. "Illuminating Mind"): R1 +

: Steps forward and gestures free hand forward in a signal via finger point, causing a continuous volley of lightning-infused arrows to rain down diagonally on the enemy ranks. Xu Shu is free to move after his animation ends while the arrows are still pouring down, meaning it can be used in tandem with other means of offense, including different Musou attacks.

Aerial Musou Attack - Coming Thunder (落耀; lit. "Dropping Spark"):

: Charges sword with electrical energy before flipping in mid-air, then quickly tosses hook to the ground. Electricity then travels from the rope to the hook which immediately produces a pillar of lightning that sends surrounding enemies airborne.

Rage Attack: Spins around counterclockwise several times while moving at a steady pace. It ends with Xu Shu leaping in the air to perform a descending slash that generates a radial burst of potent energy.

True Rage Attack: If Xu Shu accumulates 100 or more hits during his Rage attack, he will immediately swipe his sword more wildly while sprinting forward. The hooked dagger itself provides extra coverage by being swung in a wide looping motion as it becomes engulfed in flames, then it is used to further deliver several wide slashes back and forth once Xu Shu stops moving.
