Does combo do anything on its own?

I know you can upgrade it with nova, but other than that, does it do anything? The game doesn't really care to explain it, just says "combo unlocked" and leaves it at that.

makes you a bit faster, and i thiiink lowers ms penalty of attacks

you can walk through enemies, they cant bodyblock you any more

As far as I can tell, combo is MUCH weaker in this game than the first HoH. There seem to be no trinkets that affect it, and there's only the 1 upgrade to make you fire projectiles.

Granted, I haven't tested the alternate combo requirement choices yet, so those may have a different skill orb upgrade.

I seem to take less damage when in combo mode, but maybe it's just because I'm so fast they don't hit as much. It's also good for breaking pots as enemies chase you after it's upgraded.

I wish it started off with the projectile nova by default, and then have 2 projectile upgrades to increase the amount.
Cus how it is now where it does nothing apart from some speed increase and having 3 projectile upgrades isn't fun.

I'm at n+1 and I've started doing most of my runs without combo, because the wave projectiles for combo is a mid-upgrade at best and it takes slots from more valuable choices in my builds.
I hope they add multiple effects for its upgrades, not just multiple methods of triggering it like there is now.

many players were making new characters and avoiding picking up the combo orb to prevent it from showing up in level orb options. now you can disable it entirely, which is what i pretty much always do.
combo is drastically weaker in this game sadly.

Everytime combo pops it gives me the confidence to rush the mobs, spamming mana and just clearing rooms super fast, i treat it like getting a star in super mario.

There is a choice to "Disable combo" in library so it wont matter if u picked it or not. Allthough I have not done a run without it. But would be weird if u still got the skill upgrade choice in a run xD

note: if you have it disabled via the library, the combo orb will drop from the totem boss. So remember to not instinctively click it when doing a combo-less run.

But yeah, movement speed buff, pass through enemies, and I'm not sure if it's just because of the movement speed buff or not, but it feels like it also lessens the movement penalty for attacking so you can hold down attack without slowing to a stuttering crawl.
