Increasing Combos

[Grilled Cheese]

Anyone here know how combos work? As far as i know there's no explanation anywhere as to what increases your combo and I still haven't figured it out.

Yes, You increase your Combo counter by killing a bunch of enemies and not taking dmg from them. Notice that some kind of damage like from that Red Crystal's Ring of Fire is acceptable. Basically avoid dmg from actual enemies and not the environment

Combo maxxed out at 5 by default, but it's 8 with Relic of Combo

Build Armor in order to avoid taking dmg and therefore reducing your combo meter

Max HP compliments Armor greatly. More MaxHp = less dmg to your armor. To the point where 1 single enemy hit to you will reduce your Armor not by 1, but by a fraction of it

I suggest building Big Hearts mod for MaxHP, it seems to be the best HP builder right now

Mods like Crystal Combo and Dmg Combo are awesome when you combo stays at max, so build them))

Combo seems to increase every 25 kills without taking a hit to health, at least for the earlier combos. Not sure about 6-8 though.

Another tip for comboes if you have trouble keeping them. Get the heal when increasing your combo. Anytime you get hit, as long as you kill 25 enimies, you can heal 100-200 hp. Very good if you only get hit ocasionally and not often.

But, how does that help with combos? You get hit, your combo drops to 1. What helps with combos is not to get hit at all before getting to lvl 9 Elite round and then see if you can get stuff like Reinforced the the shop, or big hearts


Get big hearts and focus on getting hears from Elite rounds instead of armor. Ignore your Damage Combo since you will stay at 1 and just get more MaxHp

But if you do draw Reinforced, you can aim at getting more armor and keep your combo going as long as you have some levels in Damage Combo

Ive never been amazing with keeping a combo going myself. So I found the heal when increasing combo the most useful myself since it's an easy way to recover health if you ever make a mistake. But yea, doesnt help if you dont get hit.

Combo heal was the saving grace that let me complete my last nightmare run.
