5AA

5AA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1270 H/L 11f - - -8 - - - hilt thrust. Stager with it, but be careful cause it's real minus. 2A cancels into this move but not 5A.

5AAA

5AAA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 2404 L 11f - - -11 - - - Shares it's animation with 236D~B, but is still a normal, so it can be special canceled, can't be canceled into other normals though (except for more auto combo moves

5AAAA

5AAAA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 3254 H/L 10f - - -16 - - - Shares it's animation with 236B, it also shares most of 236B's properties, but cannot be held/feinted.

5B

5B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1200 H/L 11f - - -2 - - - Hits above as well as in front of Iai. Works as an anti-air. Jump cancelable

5C

5C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1800 H/L 12f - - -13 - - - Big horizontal button, longer range than 2C.

6C

6C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1700 H/L 11f - - -7 - - - Big upwards anti-air leg. Jump cancelable. Outside of the corner you'll need to cancel to 236A or 236B to combo

2A

2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 400 L 6f - - -3 - - - 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.

j.A

j.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 800 H 8f - - - - - - Iai kicks downward, hits a little bit behind Iai as well, so it can cross up. Jump cancelable.

j.B

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1200 H 9f - - - - - - Iai slashes out in front of herself. Hits kind of high so it can be weird as a jump-in. Jump cancelable.

j.C

j.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Starter Scaling Combo Scaling Element 1800 H 15f - - - - - - Iai slashes downward. Knocks down on air hit and can then be canceled into j.236D for oki options.

j.D

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.

2/5A > 2/5B > 2C > 236D~B

2/5A > 2/5B > 2C > reafe assist > 236B > 236D~C

2C starter

236A > 236D~D > 5A > 5B > 5C > 236B > 236D~C

Only works near the opponent otherwise the 236D~D will not connect and they will fly outward and tech.

236C > 236D~B

236C > 236D~B > A+B+C > dash > 5B > 5C > airdash > j.B > j.C > 5AA > 5B > 5C > (236A > 236D~C) / (623XX > falsaria assist)

Corner Combos

2/5A > 2/5B > 5C > 236B > 236D~C

2/5A > 2/5B > 5C > 236B > 236D~A > 5B > Jump Cancel > j.B Jump Cancel > j.B > j.C

623B > A+B+C > 5B > Reafe assist > Airdash > j.B > j.C > 5AA > 5B > 5C > 236A > 236D~C

623C > 5A > 5B > Jump Cancel > j.A > j.B > Jump Cancel > j.A > j.B > j.C > (j.D > Mercenary Arthur assist > 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 assist > 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
