Combo

Combo Mode is a method of fighting that lets you do damage much faster than just using skills normally. It is fairly complicated, fast, and very confusing for new players. Everyone was frustrated at one time. =)

Combo Mode becomes is available once your character completes the level 10 Rank Up quest.

Advantages of Comboing

 * Much faster attacks (~50% faster)
 * Attacks do more damage (~10% more)
 * You never miss
 * You can't get stunned, essential for PvP.

Also you should know:
 * There is no end reward for a good combo. The "rewards" are listed above and occur as you are fighting.

Setup
  Set up your skill bar like this: If you don't have one of those skills, see an instructor and purchase it. They are cheap!   Dance until you fill up you SP bar. It takes about 5 minutes to fill it if it is empty.  For this tutorial, equip your character with the weakest weapons you can find, such as a Normal Katana. Don't use any +damage buffs either. We are just practicing and don't want to kill too fast!  Get the best armor you can afford so you don't have to worry about HP while practicing.  Go find a big scary monster that takes at least 15 hits to kill, depending on your level maybe a gruesome Plant Toad. 

Comboing
Read all of the above steps before starting. be warned that combo mode is FAST!  Select the Plant Toad, but don't attack yet.  Press the 4 key, which should be the Combo button. </li> You will see the Combo Bar pop up, don't do anything yet! </li> Wait for the bar to fill past the first line, then press the 4 key again before the bar completely fills. </li> Repeat step 4 as long as you can! </li> After you succeed 5 combos, the lines will move closer and the bar will fill faster, making the combo harder. </li> After you succeed 11 combos, the lines will move closer again and the bar will fill even faster, making the combo very hard to continue. </li> </ol> So how far did you get on your first try? Only 3? Try again! All you have to do now is practice practice practice.
