Advanced guideCombos · stances · practical notes

Combos from Wavu Wiki (current patch) · gameplay notes from GameRant

Terms　BnB=the everyday combo (bread and butter — learn this one first)　|　T!=tornado: spins an airborne opponent to extend the combo, once per combo　|　CH=counter hit: catching an opponent mid-move; most moves gain a launch or crumple on CH　|　Punishers=a guaranteed punish taken from the recovery of a blocked move　|　Staples=a higher-damage route for one particular starter　|　Mix-up=forcing a guess between standing (blocks mid) and crouching (blocks low); the core mix-up is the character's main guessing point

Game plan　Clive is a summoner-style character built around Stance core: easy to pick up (the combo execution bar is low) and harder to master. He is the only character in the game with a Zantetsuken gauge (levels 1-5; at level 5 it wipes the opponent's recoverable health) and his own "jump" stance.Not using the stances is not really playing Clive — Phoenix Shift, Wings of Light and Precision Dodge have to be muscle memory. Weaknesses: weak lows (d+1 is passable), so the mix-up does not move an opponent who knows the matchup, and some animations start oddly enough to need getting used to.

Stances in detail

Stance	Entry & use
Phoenix Shift	+1234or1234›1234~or hold F on any of a long list of moves。a fire dash that closes distancefollow-ups1234(Heatwave)/1234›1234(Rising Flame)/1234›1234(Steel Slash)/1234(Firestarter)/1234(Scarlet Cyclone, Heat engager)/1234(Bolt Boot)/1234(Zantetsuken)the main attack enginef+4, or 4,4~F, or hold F on any of a long list of moves. A fire dash that closes distance, with follow-ups 1 (Heatwave) / 2,1 (Rising Flame) / 2,2 (Steel Slash) / 4 (Firestarter) / 1+2 (Scarlet Cyclone, Heat engager) / 3+4 (Bolt Boot) / 1+4 (Zantetsuken) — the main attack engine
Wings of Light	3+4, or 3,3. The Bahamut's-wing hover: 1 (Dia) / 2 (Impulse); against an airborne opponent 2 becomes an aerial chase blast (70 damage), a top-tier combo ender that comes with its own low parry (Radiant Counter)
Updraft	his own jump stance:1234(Griffin Hunter)/1234›1234(Burning Rain, a combo staple)/1234/1234;the delayed input does slightly more damageu/f, his own jump stance: 1 (Griffin Hunter) / 2,2 (Burning Rain, a combo staple) / 3 / 4; the delayed input does slightly more damage
Precision Dodge	b+3 reverses mids and highs: on success, 2 (Precision Counter, 35) or 1+2 (Dash of Steel, 35); for lows use 3+4 (Radiant Counter, 20)
Zantetsuken gauge	Levels 1-5, shown under the health bar and charged by specific moves (1,2 and 2,2,2,1+2 among them). 1+4 spends it: level 1 Arm of Darkness for 10, levels 2-4 Zantetsuken for 45, level 5 Ultimate Zantetsuken for 80, which also wipes the opponent's recoverable health. Do not press it below level 2.

Key moves

Input	Key points
+1234b+2	Executioner: a very long-range high that denies approaches, and the combo tornado (T!) tool
+1234›1234/+1234›1234›1234d/f+1,2 / d/f+1,4,3	a confirmable mid string; d/f+1,4,3 is the workhorse combo tornado
+1234d/f+2	Wyrm Killer: i15, a two-hit launcher and the main punish; the range lets it hit rage arts
+1234(1234)d/f+3(,1)	Hydro Blast: the main low (20 on its own); follow with 1 on hit for 58 total
+1234›1234d/b+1+2,1	Gouge: the core combo-starter transition, into the Updraft follow-ups
+1234b+1+2	Windup: armoured; on counter hit it becomes the windup counter
+1234(1234)f+1+2(,1)	Prominence: a Heat engager with a follow-up burst
+1234f,f+1+2	Staff of Judgment: on counter hit it becomes Judgment Bolt (50 damage), a superb denial tool
1234›1234/1234›1234›1234›12341,2 / 2,2,2,1+2	A quick punish that also charges Zantetsuken — press it often
+1234qcf+1	Deadly Embrace: a ranged magic bolt for chip pressure (chargeable)

Practical tips

Tips	Notes
Gauge priority	Throw out 1,2 and 2,2,2,1+2 whenever you can to build the gauge; end combos with 1+4 whenever it fits — level 5 is what turns a match around
weak lows	Use d+1 / d/f+3(,1) / PHX 4; do not expect a pure mix-up to open anyone, bait the button out with stance pressure instead
Phoenix follow-ups	Many moves go into Phoenix by holding F (4,4~F for one), so a blocked string still keeps pressure through the shift
Reversal toolkit	b+3 (mid and high) plus 3+4 (low) covers every height between them; on counter hit f,f+1+2 becomes Judgment Bolt
Updraft, delayed input	The Updraft follow-ups have a delayed-input version worth 1-2 more damage but much harder — one for when you are chasing the maximum
