**Nanto fighters can use a unique technique called ''Migiri Kougeki'' (''Timely Strike'' in the English release), which allows the characters to see openings in their opponent's attacks. When the player and their opponent simultaneously perform a strong attack, a select button may appear on the screen within that instant. If players successfully press the correct button within the moment it appears, the Nanto fighter will instantly evade the attack and perform a counter.

The main difference with ''Hokuto Musou'' is that players need to equip particular skills in order to expand their character's learning curve. As more battles are cleared, players can choose to learn whatever techniques, legendary techniques, and secondary abilities they desire for each character via a "meridian chart" that is set up to resemble that character's own pressure points.. Skill points are earned by collecting glowing balls, or "karma", found after defeating opponents in the field. They can also be earned by correctly performing a ''Musou Ranbu'', trashing objects for scrolls, completing missions, or by finishing a stage with a sound performance. | ||
