How do you get Shadow into the air?

[ComeOnAndSam]

It has a few combos that involve being in the air, but I don't know how to get it there. It's move that knocks enemies into the air doesn't seem to make Shadow jump with them.

Lock-on, and back+Y/Triangle/whatever.

Back is relative to V's position to the enemy, not Shadow's though, so depending on how things are arranged, it can feel weird, but it's basically the standard launch.

iirc the enemy has to be in the air, or when shadow is in your shadow you have to be in the air, I could be wrong on this one so don't quote me on that

V never has to be airborne for any combos to work. Well, unless we're talking about that giant thing. He has one or two skills which involve being airborne.

It's exactly as hammerstar said. It's pretty much the standard launch we all know and love. Hold the attack button (Y/triangle by default) and shadow will launch himself. From there, perform the airborne combos.

But when I do that, Shadow whips the enemy with its tail and lands back on the ground faster than it can accept another attack input, which is what I meant by it not working.

Mashing it also works to go straight into the one where he's basically a sawblade.

He has to be airborne for that one. OP wants to know how to get him off the ground.
