j.X	Button "X" is input while jumping or in the air.
dj.X	Button "X" is input after a double jump.

md.X	Perform a micro-dash before performing "X".
TK.X	Indicates the motion "X" is input immediately after leaving the ground. Stands for tiger knee.
(X)	Input "X" is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted.
[X]	Input "X" is held down. Also can be known as "Increase" or "IC" for short. Depending on the character, this can indicate that this button is held down and not released until indicated by the release notation.
]X[	Input "X" is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down.
{X}	Button "X" should only be held down briefly to partially charge the attack, instead of the full increased version.

X > Y	Cancel "X" into "Y".
X, Y	Link "X" into "Y", allowing "X" to fully recover before "Y".
X~Y	This notation has two meanings. Use attack "X" with "Y" follow-up input. Input "X" then within a few frames, input "Y". Usually used for option selects.
CH	The first attack must be Counter Hit.
CS	Perform a Chain Shift, which is performed by inputting D twice.
CVO	Perform a Cross Cast Veil Off, which is performed by inputting A+B+C.

Getting Started

The following is a list of Combos to start off with Eltnum that are recommended to learn. They are very complete and easy, having good corner carry, meter building and most common ender for the character. They also teach vital parts for her routes that you are going to still use in more advanced combos, since they still uses whiffed A normals, j.[C] links, midcrodashes and delayed ricochet shots. If you are interested in making Eltnum your main it's recommended that you start learning these and getting them in your muscle memory.

It is recommended that you at least go through the tutorial until intermediate level to get a simple idea on her tools.

Combo	Damage	Cost	Meter Gain	Location
2A > 2B > 2C > jc > (dl.)j.B > j.A > j.C, 66C > 22B, 66C > 22B, 66C > 22C	2428	Bullets: 10	58.90 Opp: 28.55	Anywhere
This is the bare minimum combo that you need to learn in order to, well, at least do some damage to play the game! It is an way simpler version of 5-1. You only need to delay a little bit for j.B, and the remaining is just mash your direction buttons. As long as you are close enough after 2C, you can combo into this simple aerial parts into bullet > reload.
2A > 2B > 2C > jc > (dl.)j.B > j.A > j.C, 5B > 3[C] > 236[B], 22B, 66C > 22B, 66C > 22C	2674	Bullets: 11	65.79 Opp: 33.53	Anywhere
An slightly more optimized combo of the above, this time instead of straight up 66C, we do a little more shooting. Enhanced bullets do quite a bit more damage so you always want to aim for filling as many enhanced bullets as possible.
