Warriors Ultimate EX, known in Japan as Unrivalled: Ultimate Battle X (Japanese: 無双: 究極戦いX Musō: Kyūkyoku-sen X), is a major expansion to Warriors Ultimate. Released as both paid DLC and a standalone game, Warriors Ultimate EX adds additional story segments in addition to new playable characters, new maps, and new Traverse Armaments. Warriors Ultimate EX also makes several changes to the gameplay mechanics, most notably adding in a new character class, and has redesigned the HUD and menus. Due to the immense amount of content included in the expansion, it can be classified as a pseudo-sequel to the original title.
The additional story scenarios take place both prior to the start of the original story and after the original game's ending. Those that take place earliest are listed as taking place in "X Prologue" instead of any chapter, while those that take place following the final battle against Kuzuryūshin take place in "X Chapter 1" and "X Chapter 2".

One of the largest gameplay changes included within the Warriors Ultimate EX expansion is the addition of a fourth character class, Wonder. Because of this additional class, certain changes have been made to the other character classes, and some warriors have even been reclassified from them into the Wonder class.
* characters no longer receive a boost in the amount they gain charge for their Musou Gauge, though now gain a temporary Defence buff after consuming any health-based item drops. Additionally, after sprinting for a long enough time, Speed characters will now generate a wind shield around themselves that allows them to push through foot soldiers that are not attacking while also damaging them slightly.
* characters no longer have more durable guards, although they can no longer be launched by attacks from enemies of the same or lower level; this includes enemy warriors. Power characters now deal slightly less damage overall, but all Power characters now have a second Musou Gauge.
* characters can no longer guard to cancel out of any action, but the dash that can be performed when an enemy is knocked into the air can now also be used to cancel out of standard attacks. The range for which the effects of character bond effects are active is also significantly larger for Technique characters.
* characters can block attacks from any direction, though they do not completely negate the effects of attacks from any direction and instead only drastically decrease the amount of damage taken. Additionally, Wonder characters can guard to cancel out of any action, taking on this mechanic previously used by Technique characters. Wonder characters are also more likely to acquire item drops from defeated enemies than those of other classes, with drops that fill the warrior's Musou Gauge being the most common.
The following characters were reclassified into the Wonder class:
* Bandai Namco characters: Alisa Bosconovitch, Azwel, Ivy, Jin Mishima, Nokia Shiramine, and Xiaomu
* Capcom: Accel, Arthur, Guildenstern, Jedah Dohma, Necalli, and Simon Blackquill
* Koei Tecmo: Arnice, Joan of Arc, NiCO, Okuni, Sanzang, and William Adams
* Nintendo: Ashley, Cia, Ghirahim, Krystal, Marth, Rowan, Shulk, and Zant
* Sega: Arle Nadja, Excela Noa Aura, Honey, Kazuma Kiryu, Leanne, Panther, Satan, and Vyse

== Trivia ==
* Due to the fact that they could originally be named by the player, this marks the first time that the playable protagonist from Pokémon Conquest has been given a name. In this case, the female protagonist has been named "Hatsue", the kanji of which (初栄) translate into English as "first" and "flourish".
* As with the base game, the companies that are represented with guest characters were chosen due to previously having collaborated with Koei Tecmo. In the case of BlazBlue, outfits based upon those worn by characters from the series (and other Arc System Works titles) were released as DLC costumes for the cast of Dead or Alive 5.
