Base Game
Zhang Bao is affiliated with the flail sword in this title. When equipped with it, Zhang Bao can perform the following unique attacks listed below.
- EX Attack 1:
: Lifts multiple enemies into the air by quickly thrusting weapon into the ground. Can potentially activate the slash attribute to easily kill weaker foes or do more damage against enemy officers. - EX Attack 2: : Hooks extendable blade towards an opponent at mid-range before running towards them in time to unleash a short upward strike. Introduced in Xtreme Legends.
- Musou Attack - Rapid Thrust (連刃千撃; lit. "Linked Blade Thousand Strikes"):
: Latches unto a nearby opponent and violently tosses them aside via rotating swing. In Xtreme Legends, the move's grappling range has been improved on, making it easier to entangle foes and hurl more of them simultaneously. - Alternate Musou Attack - Cobra Strike (蛇矛連撃; lit. "Snake Spear Rapid Assault"): R1 + : Uses double pike to attack an opponent at close range. Should the move successfully connect, Zhang Bao will unleash six varying slashes done in the blink of an eye before releasing a powerful war cry similar to the one performed by Zhang Fei for his Mighty Shout Musou attack. If it fails to hit a single foe, the animation will be altered into a wide diagonal slash that leaves behind yellow green streaks followed by a slanted spin slash that bears a resemblance to Zhang Fei's Titan Whirlwind Musou attack.
- Aerial Musou Attack - Mighty Blow (金剛襲撃; lit. "Adamant Raid"):
: After scratching his head a bit, Zhang Bao will stomp the ground hard and produce a fierce leftward slash that leaves behind a yellow green streak in its wake. The gradual speed from falling has been corrected in Xtreme Legends. - Rage Attack: Punches blade forward numerous times, then finishes the whole sequence with a sonic-powered thrust that sends out a powerful radial shockwave in the process.
- True Rage Attack: By performing 100 or more hits during a Rage attack, Zhang Bao will start pulling off extended fiery swings done in a looping motion while running. It ends with him lashing his weapon around in different directions prior to the activation of the usual finisher.
