Warcry (雄叫び, Otakebi?), also called War Cry, Infuriate and Battle Cry, is a recurring ability in the series, usually used by enemies though usable by player characters in certain games. It inflicts a status effect on targets, though this status effect varies per appearance.

Final Fantasy XI[]
Warcry is an ability available to Warriors at level 35. It enhances attacks of party members within area of effect. The attack boost increases with the user's level with main job or subjob Warrior. Enmity added to the user varies depending on how many party members the effect lands on. Should it land on all 6 party members, the enmity generated is equal to Provoke. It does not stack with Boost. Warcry will have no effect if Boost is active. If the effect is stolen via Aura Steal, the amount of attack increase is the same as the increase on the monster it was stolen from.
It has a recast time of 5 minutes (-10 seconds with each Merit Points upgrade) and a duration or 30 seconds. Due to the brief duration and long recast time, it is often used immediately before the party attempts a skillchain or the user does a weapon skill.

Etymology[]
A Warcry or battle cry is a yell or chant taken up in battle, usually by members of the same military unit. Battle cries are not necessarily articulate, although they often aim to invoke patriotic or religious sentiment. Their purpose is a combination of arousing aggression and esprit de corps on one's own side and causing intimidation on the hostile side.
