Yuan Shu is affiliated with the rapier in this title. When equipped with it, Yuan Shu can perform the following unique attacks listed below.
- Unique Attacks
- Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Airborne +
: Yuan Shu finishes his aerial flow attack by stepping on air twice before stomping the earth to produce a radial shockwave while holding his arms outward. - Unique Trigger Attack: R1 + : Performs a rushing thrust attack followed by a lower stab that dizzies foes momentarily. When fully charged, the move is given additional range.
- Special Technique: R1 +
: Attracts lightning by raising sword up, then launches a beam of electricity traveling forward at a great distance. - Musou Attack: : Jabs forward at the enemy repeatedly while walking towards them in a slow pace. Yuan Shu charges his sword with electricity and plants it on the ground before leaping up high. He then lands on said sword's pommel with one foot, causing the charged weapon to flood the area with radiating streams of lightning. Bears a resemblance to Yuan Shao's True Musou finisher from Dynasty Warriors 5.
