A combo kill, often abbreviated as CK, is a sequence of attacks that kills the target in a single combo. A combo is defined as the three-hit attack sequence, which almost all weapons can use. For weapons that cannot, see List of weapons which cannot combo.

Attack types

There are three different types of attacks: Normal, Heavy and Special, often abbreviated N, H, and S. While Heavy attacks deal more damage than Normal attacks, the damage from Special attacks is governed by the weapon's special attack.

A CK is a guaranteed kill within the three-hit combo. E.g. when the target can be killed with a Normal, Heavy, Special combo, it is denoted as NHS. There can be any other combination and sequence of attacks, as long as the given combo kills the target. Sometimes a two-hit combo is sufficient, too.

Combo Kill factors

Whether a CK can be performed depends on a multitude of factors: Class, level, equipment (weapons, frames, barriers, mags, units), monster stats, and status effects and buffs like Paralysis.pngParalysis, Freeze.pngFreeze, Shifta.pngShifta or Zalure.pngZalure. A CK is often of interest when trying to figure out what attributes on a given weapon are needed to guarantee a kill. A certain amount of hit is often critical for the weapon, in order to have enough accuracy, preventing misses. Monster attributes on the weapon can be important too, as they increase the weapons damage output, but can be increased by sphering.

Combo Kill resources

To figure out the CK potential on certain weapons, resources like tables and spreadsheets have been created providing an overview of what stats are needed to kill within a single combo. On most of these resources, the following assumptions are made:
