Technique is a character type introduced in the Warriors Orochi series. Characters in this category are represented by the color yellow. Each character in this category has a special attack called an "Enhanced Strike". Basically, it is used during an attack string such as for charge attacks. During a normal attack, the player presses the special move button to activate the Enhanced Strike. When activated, the charge move is super-powered (similar to the concept of EX Moves from fighting games). Using the R1 button, players can use a small portion of the character's Musou to perform a special attack, or a counter to break out of an opponent's combo if getting hit (almost like a Musou attack). Compared to the two other types, Technique-type characters can have their default R1 special as any charge attack input rather than using by R1 itself; examples include Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, unlike characters like Zhuge Liang and Yukimura, both the aforementioned two have their default specials done in a C3 command.
If a player's team possess two or more technique characters, the final Musou in a Musou chain will activate the skill Absorb and will allow the character to restore Musou with each hit.
Warriors Orochi 3 removes the Enhanced Strike and instead includes a sidestep which leaves characters temporarily invincible as they perform the maneuver and critical hits against airborne enemies. The sidestep can also be used to perform a dash attack without needing to run.
Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate grants this type the ability to shift behind enemies by pressing 
while being attacked.
