How the hell do i do combo attacks with melee?

Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. Do i spam? Do i time it? What's the deal?

Timed. Not all suits have more than 1 swing either so got to check.

Requires Melee Combo Controller level 1+. Also downswing ends the combo immediately, even if used as the "first" attack.

When you're looking at an MS in the customize menu, go over to the skills tab. You need a skill called "Melee Combo Controller" in order to do combos. The level of the skill indicates how long your combo can be. Most MS that have the skill will have it at level 1, which is 2 swings.

To actually do a combo attack, you just have to change the direction input between swings. So, you could do forward swing, then left swing, or a right swing then a left swing, etc.

The only exception to the is the down swing, which is a heavy attack that will knock down anything you hit with it. You can combo into this, but you can't start a combo with it.

another good guideline if oyu dont want to look too deeply into it, most of the time, supports have the ability to attack once, general can do 2 and raids can do 3
