Conversions
- Ground confirms
- Nothing combos off of max range 2LK other than 236MK, can be hard to hitconfirm. 2MK doesn't reach as far as 2LK so if you are worried about it dropping do 2LK 5HP 236LK instead.
- Throw starter combo
- To save OTG: fly cancel into jMK, land into buttons or 236LK.
- To save Undizzy at the cost of OTG (midscreen): 236K fast fall (cancel throw into j236K quickly) dash up into moves.
- You can save both Undizzy and OTG with a bit more difficulty (Midscreen): 236K fast fall (cancel throw into j236K quickly) walk or dash up 2MK 5HP 236LK. Although most of Painwheel's buttons can work for the OTGless restands, this one is the optimal starter.
- Air throw starter combo
- Air throw and ground throw are effectively identical. One sends slightly further away but it's negligible.
- Anti-air confirms
- 5MP: jump, recognize what side you are on, jMK fly jMK land into buttons.
- 236HK: j236KK unless close to corner.
- Off air to airs
- jMP, fly, jMK, fly, jMK, land into buttons
- jHP is same as above, or j236KK, or 236LK if near the corner.
Enders
Your optimal ender string will mostly change depending on screen positioning and whether or not you have OTG available.
All of the following enders are notated starting with 2LP for optimal damage, but keep in mind that 5LP is 4 frames faster and has a more reliable hitbox for the cost of only 25 damage at full scaling. If you're ever worried about dropping the combo, don't hesitate to start your string with 5LP instead.
- Anywhere, no OTG (2045 damage)
2LP 5LK 2MP 5HP 236LK 236PP
- Anywhere, OTG available (2165 damage)*
2LP 5LK 2MP 6HKx4 236LK(OTG) 236PP
- Corner, no OTG (2069 damage)
2LP 5LK 5MK 5HP 236LK 236PP
- Corner, OTG available (2189 damage)
2LP 5LK 5MK 6HKx4 236LK(OTG) 236PP
- Corner, meterless ender (1213 damage)
2LP 5LK 2MP 6HKx4 236HK fly j236LK(burstable)
- Anywhere, double thresher ender (2581 damage) (example)
2LP 5LK 2MP 6HKx4 236HK 236KK fly 236KK
*Some characters can also be hit by 2MP 6HKx4 236LK without OTG, so you can do a bit of extra damage if you can time your 236LK correctly.
Characters it works on:
- Eliza
- Peacock
- Painwheel
- Valentine
- Parasoul
- Double
- Beowulf
- Umbrella
- Annie
- Black Dahlia

- Lights-only corner combo that has the best damage while being practical
- Doing 6jLK instead of 5jLK will make H Buer after 5MP whiff on some characters
- You can make this combo universal by doing 8jHK instead of 2jHP (8,825 damage) however you need to fastfall between the first 236HK and j236LK. It is also very difficult on heavies

- Optimal universal corner combo
- Difficult on heavies
- Add a slight delay to either jMP or the following j236LK to make jHK plus enough to combo into 5MK. Delaying too much will make you miss a hit of jHK, dealing 45 less damage.
