Combo List
For a longer combo list, check the Valkenhayn combo doc. Some of the combos here are taken directly from this document, others are adapted to be slightly easier. Combos are assumed to start in human form unless noted otherwise. Sequences of wolf form inputs are in brackets e.g w[]. Sequences of human form inputs are notated as h[]. Common Shorthand is noted in the legend above.

Combo Theory
Resource management is a major part of Valkenhayn's combo theory. Wolf Gauge must be preserved in order to maintain a good neutral presence and mixup potential after knockdowns. The wolf gauge is critical to Valkenhayn's neutral and mixup potential. As such, it's common for Valkenhayn to focus on optimizing its usage in place of damage. Overdrive, however, throws this out the window. In OD, Valkenhayn's regeneration shoots up, allowing him to stay in wolf form and use it far more than normal. Additionally, Exceed Accel is a great ender for Overdrive combos because it gives Valkenhayn a large amount of time to build back the wolf gauge.
