Combo List

• This list is meant for actual combos, not for frame traps, blockstrings, or mixups. If the combo itself allows to set them up afterwards, it is mentioned in the "Notes" field).
• The list is focused on most practical examples, not every single option that exists.
• All damage values are damage dealt to Ky unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
• The difficulty is ranked on a scale of 1 to 5 (Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard) based on various factors (cancel leniency, link timings, special techniques, range consistency, etc).

2K > 2D > 236P, (5K(minion) > 214K)	Anywhere	41 (70)		All	Very Easy	Basic confirm into Servant Summon. 5K OTG works at all ranges. Other OTG options for setups include 5P(minion), 2K, 2D, 236K and 214K.
