Kain's Combos

**Sky Raider Kai** · 04-11-2011 04:17 AM

I personally think he doesn't have an infinite, but if he does well that just broken LOL

Well the game testers did say he was broken when they tested him out. As far as I know, maybe they found an infinite or something that we aren't aware of. Hmmm, I wonder if Kain truly does have a Triangle Dash combo infinite? It would be cool, I think we should try all possible means of attack to perform a long combo with Kain. Maybe if we can find something there, we can create an infinite loop or something. XD

I think the testers played Kain in The Rift map and use Gungir at the corner edge of the map...I still haven't done that yet not exactly easy you know.

I've done that, and boy was my friend pissed off LOL

But yeah even if Gungnir is that powerful it has its downsides, which are poor tracking and long startup/recovery time. It balances out.

Just gonna say that half these combos don't work. Opponent + Auto Recovery stops his Triangle dash combos. The only reliable one is Lance Burst > Lance Barrage. Anything after doesn't officially work unless the opponent forgets to recover.

I tested it out with my friend, and yeah auto recovery does screw you up. But other than that it's a gamble.

You can also try Cyclone -> Gungnir/Rising Drive, the AI pulled it off on me, I wasn't pleased.

I personally only find T. dash to only be useful to gain Assist up. If the opponent doesn't have Auto Recovery, the combos will work but if they have it equip it makes T.dash combos useless.

All T-Dash combos do work against human players and those with Auto Recovery. If you want to you can speed up his dash with that Air Dash Boost. But it is a minor boost, you won't notice it too much.

My point is T-Dash combos aren't reliable when the opponent has auto-recovery. Its not reliable to use and could cost you the game when your playing in tournaments. Doing the full potential damage with lance barrage/celestial shooter/ crashing drive is a whole lot better because you can link it up to an assist. I have tested all his T-Dash combos and found the only reliable one is Lance burst > lance barrage.
