Combo Locking is one of the most efficient tactics for insane mode, since it's a combination of both melee and magic, it surpasses all forms of magic for most non-boss enemies.
Basic Info[]
Even the weakest of /
combos is about three times more powerful than the most powerful magic for normal enemies, being Red Knight's splash attack.
It's not as effective as juggling, but it's generally easier for less experienced players, not to mention less risky for heavyweight enemies, assuming you're using the ice element.
With every character besides Blue Knight and Iceskimo, simply repeat over and over again after reaching level 50. The drill spin knocks the enemy down, which resets the hit counter. Before level 50, use
. Notice the third
on the second half of the combo. That causes your character to smash their weapon on the ground, which knocks the enemy over, therefore resetting the hit counter.
Blue Knight and Iceskimo are different from the rest of the characters, as their combo incorporates the ice effect. This is in fact a selling point for their
combo being the best, as it is able to be repeated infinitely without the enemy having any chance to retaliate, unless the combo is performed incorrectly. Repeating
infinitely can be done after reaching level 50. Because they'll never have to wait for the drill spin to finish and for the enemy to stand up, they can perform two
combos in the same amount of time it takes normal characters to do
just once. Because of this their damage output is roughly twice as high as the weakest
combo, and a good 200~400 damage higher than the next most powerful, which is Non-Elemental.
Damage Calculations[]
These calculations will be compared to Red Knight's splash attack over a period of a minute. It's assumed that all characters are using the Snakey Mace , and aren't using a pet that boosts strength or magic. The minute will be divided into five 12-second periods, and it's assumed that the enemy attacked never dies, and it's attacked at any time possible within the 60 total seconds.
