| abstract | - Musou (無双, lit. "Unmatched") is an umbrella term for powerful moves used by playable characters and enemy officers in Warriors games. They are automated, cinematic attack sequences that often provide invincibility to the user for the duration of the sequence. Players can usually activate a Musou attack by pressing Image:Circle.png (default setting on PlayStation pad) while standing still with a full Musou gauge. A character's Musou capacity is often indicated by a gauge underneath their health bar; it is filled by hitting foes, taking damage, or consuming Musou-restoring items. Earlier games allow players to slowly recharge it by holding down Image:Circle.png. If players are in critical condition, the gauge will gradually replenish on its own. True Musou, a stronger Musou attack, often adds special properties or hit animations for the sequence. Usually available to critically injured characters, they can be performed regardless of health by equipping special items or skills. If two allied characters are in close proximity to one another, both of them can unleash a Double Musou (激・無双乱舞, Geki: Musou Ranbu, lit. Raging: Unmatched Wild Dance) if they press Image:Circle.png simultaneously. If Musou attacks from two opposing units collide, a weapon deadlock may ensue. Other specific effects vary between titles.
