Focus Spirit

Focus Spirit is an ability that appears in Hyrule Warriors.

All playable characters in Hyrule Warriors can activate Focus Spirit when their Magic Gauge is full. While Focus Spirit is activate, attack power and speed increase, incoming knock-back damage is reduced, and defeating a certain number of enemies will yield various special bonuses (such as increase the number of Rupees dropped, to the appearance of rare Materials and/or Weapons). Pressing X while under the effects of Focus Spirit completely consumes the Magic Gauge, allowing characters to use their unique Focus Spirit Attack that knocks opponents down and exposes the weak points of Giant Bosses and strong enemies like Moblins and Darknuts.

Focus Spirit ends when the Magic Gauge is empty, which causes the player to automatically perform a weaker Focus Spirit Attack.

Certain characters such as Young Link and Ghirahim may briefly transform into alternate forms while in Focus Spirit, such as the Fierce Deity or Ghirahim's final form from Skyward Sword. Others such as Link in his Hylian Sword moveset may gain special effects such as the ability to unleash slash waves from the his sword, increasing the range of his attacks.

The length of a playable character's Focus Spirit can be increased by crafting one of the three Hover Boots (Hover Boots I, Hover Boots II, and Hover Boots III) Badges at the Bazaar's Badge Market.
