Base Game
Xun Yu is affiliated with the formation wand in this title. When equipped with it, Xun Yu can perform the following unique attacks listed below.
- EX Attack 1:
: Tosses two wands spinning forward at a considerable distance before landing in parallel to one another, immediately connecting with another wand placed by Xun Yu to form a trap in the shape of an isosceles triangle. - EX Attack 2: : Causes lightning to come traveling down on the enemy in front of Xun Yu. Good for quickly clearing smaller crowds.
- Musou Attack - Divine Emperor Formation (流煌陣; lit. "Flowing Shine Formation"):
: Xun Yu throws his wand into the air, causing numerous needles of light to rain down within his position. The attack leaves behind six wands forming a hexagon. - Alternate Musou Attack - Comet Formation (天煌翔覇陣; lit. "Heavenly Bright Soaring Conqueror Formation"): R1 + : Hurls blue-colored energy waves towards the opponent three times in a row: first to the left, then to the right, and another to the center. Also activates previously placed traps, making it ideal to use alongside Xun Yu's Divine Emperor Formation Musou.
- Aerial Musou Attack - Heavenly Warrior Squad (天武覇陣; lit. "Heavenly Military Conqueror Formation"):
: Attacks enemies below with two pairs of spinning wands traveling divergently; each one lands to form a rectangular-shaped trap which Xun Yu immediately activates before descending. The trap can also activate weapon elements. - Rage Attack: Xun Yu performs a series of side swipes back and forth. The assault ends with him dispersing a square-shaped trap adjacent to his position while generating a large radial shockwave at the same time.
- True Rage Attack: Performing a 100-hit combo during a Rage attack will make Xun Yu hover above the ground while surrounded by six powered wands moving clockwise. Near the end of the attack sequence, he then fires a stream of energy waves forward before triggering the normal finisher.
