drag scroll wheel after the jumping horizontal.
if first greatsword attack is too late and doesn't hit opponent back into the air, try holding left or right direction input after the weapon swap.

- hold dodge (toothpick), mid dodge and crouch cancel are interchangeable.

the most reliable variant i've found for dagger katana swap combos without grapples. enough damage to be called a touch of death.

this starter can go into any katana uppercut combo; pretty strong. this works because the crouching horizontal restand and staggers the opponent.

in order to get restand, c.H might need to be delayed slightly.
hold dodge and back during vertical focus attack to ensure the dodge.
hold crouch during the crouch horizontal, as soon as that animation starts weapon swap to katana.
hold forward during the uppercut to adjust landing position for vertical strike.
hold left or right on uppercut landing to attack quicker.


high damaging dagger combo with pretty strict timing and spacing. what makes it special is the s.H c.H restands and staggers opponent; boosting this combos damage, which also opens up weapon swap uppercut combos. since this is pretty easy to mess up and soft true, it is probably only worth it if aiming for one of those touch of death combos.

crouch after landing from aerial dodge.
dodge has to be to either the left or right of opponent.
hold crouch during sliding horizontal to crouch horizontal quickly.

really popular and simple dagger combo. covers a lot of distance so effected by terrain, for better or worse.

each j.H requires a horizontal attack input.


really popular combo, likely due to how easy and consistent it is compared to other spear combos.

dragonslayer into the standard uppercut combo. a bit more damage the a complete dragonslayer, would benefit from a stronger uppercut combo. this also works off a parry.

more damage than staple spear uppercut combo, but currently way less consistent.

- hold forward during uppercut to land closer to opponent.
- hold left or right when landing from uppercut.

hold crouch during sliding horizontal to crouch horizontal quickly.
hold crouch during the crouch horizontal, as soon as that animation starts weapon swap to katana.

a step in the right direction. this combo is more of a showcase of ... H H j.H H on katana. when attempting the better variants of this combo, there are a lot of situations where you don't have enough height. this makes up a bit of the damage. how soft true the final vertical attack varies, but without this damage is less than just ending with a focus attack...

space can be held before the second horizontal attack ends.
hold either forward or forward & right before/as the j.H starts.
hold left or right to cancel end of landing animation.

- can hold dodge or crouch cancel.
- can hold forward during uppercut to land closer.

- can hold crouch during first landing vertical.

over double the damage of full counterstrike.

if both jumping horizontal strikes don't hit, look to the slight left of opponent.
hold left or right when landing to cancel end of landing animation

depending on how it's timed, this combo can either knock opponent away or to the ground, that's cool.

- slightly delay jumping vertical to keep opponent close.
- don't delay jumping vertical to knock opponent away.

although ending j.V is soft true, this combo already deals comparable damage to the standard j.H j.H (j) j.H j.H j.V without it. however, you either need flat terrain or terrain advantage for soulbreak to be guaranteed.

greatsword can set itself up with this one, although weapon swapping is more consistent and easier. but, y'know, greatsword combo... can't be choosers.

dodge left or right out of the uppercut.

simple longsword combo.

- can jump between uppercut and aerial attack.

highest damage katana (non swap) combo uploaded yet, and also easier much easier than the others around this much damage.

also, c.V (g) c.V ... has pretty much the same effect as counter H c.V ... so any grapple combos that start like this can also be done off a parry.

press crouch after grapple collision.
if both jumping horizontal strikes don't hit, look slight left of opponent.
hold left or right when landing to cancel end of landing animation.


it's nice.

- jump right after second hit of counter.

seems like the best option after a full counterstrike.

- dodge as second counter hit deals damage.

highest damage follow up, but requires a well timed cancel, j.V is an easier alternative.

need to jump right as counterstrike damages.


simple but tricky. the best way to get both hits of the jumping vertical will vary a lot based on ping / fps.

- jump as soon as second counterstrike hits.
- experiment with timing & camera direction.
- can hold diagonal direction during j.H.

long jump, pole vault ?

- can start holding forward during counter.

pretty standard, can do same as other dragonslayers.

can wait for two additional hits (4 total) and becomes soft true; adds an additional 152 (rare: 182 | epic: 212 | legendary: 243) damage.


dagger saps knocks up the opponent enough for this combo.

better off doing full counterstrike with jumping vertical; this can be good with a higher damage dagger uppercut combo.

- crouch right after first hit of counter.
- each j.H requires a horizontal attack input.

- can start holding forward during counter.

a lot more work than other counter combos, but more damage. only recommended if can pull off this combo very consistently. it'll always be frontside, which helps a lot.

more damage than the j.H, less options after.

- dodge as counter deals damage.

if there is ground to run on, better than the jumping horizontal follow up.

- dodge as counter strike hits.

the j.V isn't guaranteed; useful for when on non-flat terrain, j.H magnet and j.V can hit.

- can start holding forward during counter.

as of season six (11.17.2022) this has been (removed) from the game.

this combo can be extended with the grapple infinite, so it can do as much damage as terrain allows.

seems good.

need to dodge right as counterstrike damages.

if there is ground to run on, better than the jumping horizontal follow up.

dodge as counter strike hits

stamina strike equipped, this is the more interesting combo with more damage. unlike the variants that end with a focus attack, even with bad timing on the horizontal the stamina strike will hit; the final vertical requires the horizontal attack to hit completely.

any other combo ending with V V H will also be modified the same way. instead of a V as the last attack, H & j.H also work for less damage; maybe under certain condition you can extend the combo off them.

- wait until landing to input vertical attack.
- hold left or right to cancel end of landing animation.
- hold forward to land in the right spot, experiment to find it.

stamina strike equipped, this combo is the simplest and most consistent. can be done exactly the same way as without stamina strike.

any other combo ending with V V V will also be modified the same way.

- wait until landing to input first vertical attack.
- hold left or right to cancel end of landing animation.
- hold forward to land in the right spot, experiment to find it.

alternate way to do carousel after grapple infinite, not as easy as the crouching horizontal was but works. also, f.V is more damage than the third H, so do if you can.

this combo can be extended with the grapple infinite, so it can do as much damage as terrain allows.

infinite: ... + X * 240 (rare: 288 | epic: 336 | legendary: 384)

can hold grapple key before uppercut is finished.
position so that opponent is landing on your head.
wait for collision to crouch.
might need to delay vertical after grapple.

uppercut on dual blades can't be cancelled with weapon swaps or sheath. however, you can jump, so the way to weapon swap becomes 
jump > weapon swap.

similar the other weapon swap into greatsword combos, this does a lot of damage, more consistently and with less effort than single weapon combos.

jump then weapon swap then attack, but quickly !
can horizontal attack while weapon swapping
can vary timing of jump

shout out to kipac who shared this with me from a c7sper video (linked at the end)

works on spear & staff.

- cancel landing animation with directional input.
- can hold crouch after vertical.

a grapple extension for the already high damage greatsword combo; works with the weapon swap into greatsword combos as well.

can be done without grappling speed talents.
not so reliable against combo training bot but reliable against other players.

- grapple as soon as second horizontal strike hits.
- hold vertical and side direction during grapple.
- don't turn camera until charging vertical.
- grapple with aim assist or grapple ground.

hold dodging out of the uppercut may make this possible on lower latency. however, the horizontal focus attack doesn't have the same knock up as the other version; so keep that in mind if you learn both.

this is the knockback you'd expect from most weapon swap into greatsword combos as well.

can be done without grappling speed talents.
not so reliable against combo training bot but reliable against other players.

- dodge to left or right
- grapple as soon as second horizontal strike hits.
- hold vertical and side direction during grapple.
- don't turn camera until charging vertical.
- grapple with aim assist or grapple ground.

pretty simple.

hold forward during counterstike.
jump as counterstrike hits.

choosing a normal combo over a counterstrike combo can be a good trade with high damaging combos. using ranged before starting the combo can pad the damage to make the trade off more rewarding.

not sure the best way to notate or document these combos; so this is a bit of a test. 

using non-headshot ranged damage.

any ranged weapon can be used.
have until parried opponent stands up to start combo.
can dodge, jump or crouch to weapon swap.
keep track of stamina.

this is an interesting and inconsistent combo, where you are able to avoid the knockback on the dualblades second vertical attack, by missing one of the hits.
there are probably different ways to miss the hit, however height seems to be the easiest, and for that reason this method probably only work at above 50ms latency.

even though the combo is inconsistent there's time to either finish this one or hold dodge vertical chase, so whiffing isn't that bad just a 43 base damage difference.

shout out to potatophil/melonsoju for sharing with me.

hold directional input to cancel landing
input vertical attack as soon as possible
wait until there is or isn't knockback
if knockback chase with hold dodge vertical

katana's sliding horizontal is one of my favourite animations.

H s.H does more damage than H (cc) H, or acca. you can also change the side you do your crouching vertical, similar to the sliding uppercut.

- can let melee aim assist control s.H
- can hold crouch during s.H
- hold left or right to cancel landing animation
- hold forward for some* time during uppercut
