Chains into itself once. Will continue into 5AA and the rest of the auto combo, but only after it's chained into itself, so 2A>5A does not work.

Iai enters into stance on button press and then slashes on button release. While in stance you can cancel out by pressing any other button. All versions can be canceled into 236D on hit or block.

A big diagonal ice shard explodes outwards, if the opponent is close enough Iai slashes them a bunch. Because of the ice attribute this super is a good way to end enchant boost combos if you have the meter to burn.

Combos
A Starter
Autocombo > Million Skill
Autocombo into super.
5AAA > 236[X]~X > 5AAAA > 236D~C
Advanced 5/2A confirm. After the first autocombo you need to manually cancel into 236A/B/C to be able to cancel the stance. Any version will work so if you're having trouble with the stance cancel try other combinations of buttons to see which feels best.
2/5A > 2/5B > 5C > 236B > 236D~C
Works from most ranges on standing or crouching, but not at max range.
2/5A > 2/5B > 5C > 236C > 236D~B
More consistent than the above, but harder to extend because of the ender.

623C > 5A > 5B > Jump Cancel > j.A > j.B > Jump Cancel > j.A > j.B > j.C > (j.D > Mercenary Arthur > j.236D-C)
Counter Hit 623A/B also goes into this same combo.
236D-X Starters
236D-B > A+B+C > Dash > 5AA > 5B > 5C > Airdash > j.B > j.C > 5AA > 5B > 5C > 236B > 236D-C
236D-C > A+B+C > Dash > 5B > Reafe > Airdash > j.B > j.C > 5AA > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236D-C
You don't need to input "Dash" if you do this combo when the opponent is in the corner. Also note that if this combo is done in midscreen keep in mind the beginning 236D-C will in fact put you on the other side of the opponent after the Enchant Boost activation.
236D-D > Dash > 5AA > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236D-C
