Bread n' butter
Bread n' butter combos are juggles that:
- Work on as many different launchers as possible
- Work on all body sizes
Launchers that require unique combos go straight to § Staples.
- Regular launch (e.g. uf+4,4)
- df+1 > d+2,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4
- Launcher to HAR (e.g. CH 4,4,4,F)
- HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4
- Instant screw (e.g. f,F+2,4)
- f+4 > HAR.1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.4
- Crouching recovery (1) (e.g. CH FUFT.3)
- ws4 > d+2,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4
- Crouching recovery (2) (e.g. CH FUFA.3)
- cc d+3,4 > b+1,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4
- CH 4
- f,F+2 > df+1 > d+2,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4
Mini-combos
- CH HAR.1
- f,F+3 > ub+4
- f,F+3 > dash > d+3+4 [m 1]
- ↑ d+3+4 does not connect on Jack and Bears, and is unreliable against Miguel. Alisa can evade it with her special getup.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 only at the wall
- ↑ requires a dash into ub+4 with slightly strict timing
- ↑ unless the opponent holds back on wake-up
- ↑ unless the opponent holds back on wake-up; inconsistent
Staples
Staple combos are juggles that:
- Can be done consistently by a skilled player
- Either work on all body sizes, or the characters it does work on are comprehensively listed
- Are not strictly worse than another combo listed in terms of difficulty, damage, wall carry, and oki

Wall
- Regular splat
- [24] df+1 > 3,3,3,3,3 [1]
- [26] 1 > df+1 > 3,3,3,3,3
- [30] f,F+3 > ub+4 [2]
- [45] b+1,F > R! HAR.1+2 [3]
- [47] df+1,1,F > R! HAR.1+2 [4]
- vs. King, Armor King, Bears, Gigas, Jack-7, Bob, Marduk
- [29] df+1 > 4 > 3,3,3,3,3
Floor Break
Katarina's floor break tools are -
- b+4, 3+4
- HAR.2
- uf+3+4
- d+1
Upon a floor break at the wall, use 4 to re-wall splat into a wall combo.
Off-axis
Kat's combos are very unstable on off-axis opponents. It is recommended to quickly step to re-align if possible before picking up from a launcher (e.g., after a SSL hopkick whiff punish, quickly do a SSR before d+2). Otherwise, use f,F+4 to immediately screw, then do d+2,F > HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.4.
Back-turned opponent
uf+4,4 > d+2 > d+2 will flip the opponent the right way up to continue the combo. A better option is to simply do b+1,F > HAR.df+1+2 for 63 dmg. Another consistent BT option is 1,1,2 > 3,4 for 63 dmg into a KND on all characters except Xiaoyu, who can evade the 3,4 by holding db.
Character-specific
- Bears
- [every launcher except b+2, CH f+3] > d+2,F,DB > ws4 > df+1 > d+2,F > df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4
- [b+2, CH f+3] > df+1 > d+2,F,DB > ws4 > d+2,F > df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4
Extras
Extra combos are juggles that are:
- Strictly worse than one of the § Staples; or
- Too inconsistent to be a staple; or
- Joke combos for style points.
Max Damage
Launcher(s) | Combo | Damage | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
uf+4,4 | > d+2 > 4 > d+2,F > HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 | 74 | post-screw dash has tight timing |
uf+4,4 | > dash > 4 > d+2 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 | 74 | inconsistent at even a slight off-axis, need to adjust timing on both HAR instances |
f,F+2,4 | > dash > d+2,F > HAR.1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+3 | 58 | final HAR.df+3 has to be done without any delay |
CH 4 | > f,F+4 > f+4 > HAR.1 > df+1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+3 | 67 | inconsistent, timing the manual HAR.1 like a slide input (f4~1) may help |
CH 4 | > f,F+2 > df+1 > d+2,F > HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 | 69 | do a deep HAR.dash before screwing with HAR.df+2,3, otherwise the 3 will whiff |
CH 4 | > f,F+4 > dash > d+2,F > HAR.1 > 4,4,4,F > HAR.df+3 | 69 | dash timing after f,F+4's recovery is very strict |
BM
Launcher(s) | Combo | Damage | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
CH df+4 | > 1+2+3 > d+3,4 > b+1,F > HAR.1 > b+1,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 | 69 | video demonstration |
CH df+4 | > 1+2+3 > d+3,4 > b+1,F > HAR.d > ws+4 > d+2,F > HAR.df+2,3 S! > dash > d+2,F > HAR.4 | 72 | inconsistent against small characters and just in general, need to adjust HAR timings |
Tools
Pickup
Move | Notes |
---|---|
df+1 | fastest, most consistent pickup tool; works on all body types; least damage |
b+1,F | good pickup tool that works better than df+1 for off-axis situations; HAR dash adds good carry |
d+2 | used in most staple combos; good damage; causes bears to move too far away for pickup |
d+3,4 | useful pickup tool for late pickup situations e.g. CH d+2,F > HAR.1+2; the throw will whiff, but you can still pickup with d+3,4 |
iws4 | must be done rapidly; high damage |
microdash 4 | highest damage; very finicky off-axis, on non-standard body types and on non-favourable juggle states; highest damage |
Filler
Move | Notes |
---|---|
df+1 | |
b+1,F > HAR.1 | |
4,4,4,F | |
d+2,F |
Screw
Move | Notes |
---|---|
2,2 | fast, very consistent screw option; least carry; least damage |
df+2,4 | slower screw option that can drop off-axis; medium carry; medium damage |
HAR.df+2,3 | need to be in HAR to perform (filler must transition to HAR); very finicky off-axis and on non-standard body types; generally requires a deep HAR dash; long carry; high damage |
Ender
Move | Notes |
---|---|
d+2,F > HAR.4 | highest damage; balcony break; decent carry |
b+1,1 | good damage; high wall splat; longest carry |
d+2,F > HAR.2 | floor break |
