Xun You is affiliated with the steel whip sword in this title. When equipped with it, Xun You can perform the following unique attacks listed below.
- Unique Attacks
- Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Stunned +
: Xun You's finisher has him jump up to do a circular swipe done vertically followed by a slanted swing that produces a radial shockwave. If Xun You uses this flow attack after activating his unique stun trigger move, the rest of his hits including the shockwave will be imbued with the fire element. - Unique Trigger Attack: R1 + : Imbues weapon with fire, then lashes it diagonally to the right and left before triggering a flaming radial shockwave to burn and stun foes at the same time.
- Special Technique: R1 +
: Spins around as weapon briefly entwines Xun You's body, then swings it to unleash a powerful tornado moving at a steady pace before dissipating. - Musou Attack: : Whips weapon around in a looping motion while walking forward. Xun You then unleashes even faster whipping motions to the front that freeze foes solid before unleashing a massive ice wave forward.
- Aerial Musou Attack:
: Lashes blade downward in a wide yet slanted manner back and forth, then extends it towards the ground before landing. Can inflict slash-based damage, making it more effective against strong enemy officers.

- Horse Trigger Attack: Riding Mode +
: Performs an attack that sends enemies flying into the air. May vary depending on what type of weapon is equipped. - Horse Musou Attack: Riding Mode + : Causes horse to sprint by consuming Musou instead of stamina.
