■ Combos

Combo #1: Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Violation

A combo that will stack up 21 to 23 Shards.
Midnight Stinger (critical hit rate 40%) / Crow Flare (target’s attack speed - 15%) / Beak Kick (target’s evasion -9)

Choose between [Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Violation - Cancel] or [Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Backward Night Crow - Violation - Cancel].

Advanced version: [Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Dark Flame - Violation] or [Claws of Darkness - Dark Flame - Violation]

The above combos are useful when you are grinding in Kamasylvia, where a lot of monsters have CC skills. You will be able to stack up 30 shards. Use Rushing Crow after Dark Flame if you need to. Alternatively, you can start the combo with Blade of Darkness. Use Blade of Darkness first and then use the Claws of Darkness - Dark Flame - Violation combo to recover stamina and guard against the enemy CC skill with Dark Flame.

The last part of the video shows another possible combo of [Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Rebouncing Darkness - Dark Flame - Violation]. You can also use Blade of Darkness in the middle and escape with Rebounding Darkness or Nightmare and recover stamina.

Combo #2: Rushing Crow - Violation

Decreases opponent's’ magic defense by 15 and knocks down enemies (if opponents are not immune to CC.) Cancel Violation if you need to.

Combo #3: Rushing Crow - Claws of Darkness - Violation

This combo cannot be used if you have learned Flow: Rushing Crow. You can knock down your enemies as well as stack up Shards.

Combo #4: Midnight Stinger - Backward Night Crow - Violation

Use Midnight Stinger against multiple targets to stack up as many shards as you can. I recommend that you use Evasion in between Night Crow and Violation.

Combo #5: Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Claws of Darkness - Violation

The video shows three possible combos:

Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Claws of Darkness (3 hits) - Violation; for buffs, debuffs, and shards.
Midnight Stinger - Claws of Darkness (3 hits) - Violation; for buffs and shards.
Claws of Darkness (3 hits) - Violation; to get more shards.

Choose the combo that will give you what you need at the moment.

Combo #6: [Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Turn Back Slash - Dead Hunt - Violation] or [Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Turn Back Slash - Dead Hunt - Soul Harvest]

Use the former one to deal massive damage, and the latter one to recover HP.

If you have more than 5 shards after Turn Back Slash or Violation, use Soul Harvest and then the Q skill before moving on to the next combo.

Combo #7: Night Crow (Scythe) - Turn Back Slash - Dead Hunt (2 hits)

This combo allows you to use Dead Hunt smoothly, as you can cancel Turn Back Slash.

Other combos that begin with Night Crow (Scythe) are:

Night Crow (Scythe) - Turn Back Slash - Q (shards) - Midnight Stinger
Night Crow (Scythe) - Q - Midnight Stinger

If you don’t have enough stamina left for Night Crow, just use the Q skill followed by Midnight Stinger. Choose the combo you want to use after Midnight Stinger, and try to maintain the shard buff.

Example: Midnight Stinger - Crow Flare - Beak Kick - Backward Night Crow - Turn Back Slash

Combo #8: Combos with Dark Flame

If you keep pressing LMB+RMB after using Dark Flame, you will automatically use Rushing Crow, as shown in the video below. (not sure if this works with Scythe too)

Midnight Stinger - Dark Flame - Violation

Dark Flame - Rushing Crow - Violation

Dark Flame combos combined with Darkness Released

The combos used in the above video are:

Darkness Released (Rebounding Darkness) - Midnight Stinger - Rushing Crow - Violation
Darkness Released (Rebounding Darkness) - Dark Flame - Rushing Crow - Violation
Darkness Released (Rebounding Darkness) - Dark Flame - Violation

Darkness Released (+ Rebounding Darkness) does not consume any stamina.

Combo #9: How to cancel after Grim Reaper’s Judgment

Grim Reaper’s Judgment - Midnight Stinger - Dark Flame - Violation
Grim Reaper’s Judgment - Dead Hunt (2 hits) - Violation

Back Attack will occur if you use Grim Reaper’s Judgment after Blade of Darkness.
