Warriors Orochi 4

Special Attacks
Musou Attack: Circle: Zhurong performs Swirling Inferno as their ground Musou attack.
Normal Magic: R1 + Square: Releases a blue ball of light that turns into a vortex of water upon being near potential targets, sucking their bodies in and leaving them susceptible to regular attacks.

Charge Magic: R1 + Triangle: Locks unto enemies surrounding the user and launches light projectiles that send them flying. The more enemies caught by this spell, the more damage it can inflict, making it a better alternative to certain unique magic attacks.

Base Game

Sample video of Zhurong's fighting style.

Zhurong is affiliated with the boomerang in this title. When equipped with it, Zhurong can perform the following unique attacks listed below.

Unique Attacks
Unique Flow Attack Finisher: Enemy Stunned + Square Square Square Square: Zhurong hops about delivering two roundhouse kicks while turning, then sends foes in front of her airborne by tossing her boomerang right towards them.
Unique Trigger Attack: R1 + Triangle: Hurls boomerang at a group of enemies, lifting them upward via ascending spiral motion before quickly returning back to Zhurong. Based on the boomerang moveset's fifth charge attack from the previous title.
Special Technique: R1 + Circle: Produces a torrent of flames by performing a pivoting slash followed by a spin kick done upside-down on the floor. This move is adapted from Zhurong's second EX attack in the previous installment.
Musou Attack: Circle: Repeatedly throws boomerang at a short distance while moving steadily. After pausing, Zhurong conjures a massive fireball above her head and hits it with an uppercut, causing sparks of fire to come raining down on the area. This attack combines aspects of her Rage attack and Hot Stuff Musou from the previous installment.
Aerial Musou Attack: X Circle: Flips forward in mid-air and delivers a flaming heel drop kick that causes fire currents to erupt from Zhurong's location. The motion is partially based on her Hellish Wave Musou attack from the eighth title.
