So, mouse and keyboard, controller, and mobile. I also try to pick combos that are not ping dependent.
Speaker A
So, even if you have 200 milliseconds of ping, you should still be able to do them. Before learning the combos, there's a few techs we have to learn.
Speaker A
First, let's teleport to this Statue of the Seven. Line up with this rock. And let's learn the animation cancel.
Speaker A
Normally, when you dash after a charge attack, there's a pretty long animation for the sprint before you start your next charge attack.
Speaker A
And the trick to avoid this is to buffer a new charged attack before dashing.
Speaker A
This is achieved by doing a charge attack, releasing the button, holding it again, and then dashing.
Speaker A
This is what it looks like on a mouse. This is what it looks like on a controller.
Speaker A
And this is what it looks like on mobile. The second thing we need to learn is the burst buffer.
Speaker A
During her burst animation, there's a moment with impact frames where the whole screen turns black and white.
Speaker A
Towards the end of these impact frames, that's when you want to start holding your charge attack.
Speaker A
And if you time it right, you will see that Mika's first charge attack comes out much faster than if you wait for the burst animation to end.
Speaker A
Do note that this is not something we always want to do as some melt combos require specific timing to line up with the melts, but it's useful in teams where the earlier application is not a problem.
Speaker A
And talking about those teams, let's start with the default combo.
Speaker A
This is what you use in teams where reactions don't matter. So, in overdo teams, monopyro, burning, and basically anything where you're not trying to vaporize or melt.
Speaker A
Here we will burst buffer the first charge attack when the screen turns black and white.
Speaker A
As soon as Mika initiates her charge attack, we will release the click and hold it again to buffer the next charge attack.
Speaker A
Then as soon as our charge attack hits the enemy, we immediately tap dash while still holding charge attack.
Speaker A
We do this a second time and then we hit two normal charge attacks and as soon as the second one hits, we release into a finisher.
Speaker A
And right as the finisher is about to land, we hold left click and tap dash again to cancel it.
Speaker A
And then we just loop this until the burst duration ends.
Speaker A
This is what the combo looks like on mouse and keyboard. The flame burns.
Speaker A
This is what it looks like on controller. Incinerate. Incinerate.
Speaker A
And this is what it looks like on mobile. Now, let's take a look at the solo cryomelt combos.
Speaker A
I will only cover Satali and C2 Rosaria in this video as those are the most common options, but there's probably ways to adapt the combos to other characters.
Speaker A
Most of the hyper optimized solo cryomelt combos are incredibly difficult to do.
Speaker A
So, I will show you a slightly weaker one that is very easy and consistent. We start with a regular setup, but we're going to stall for half a second after the cryo appears.
Speaker A
And then we do a charge attack into an instant dash cancel. Then hold the charge attack until Mika does about half a circle.
Speaker A
We release into a finisher and then just loop the dash cancel charged, wait for half a circle, release, and so on.
Speaker A
You might find that you have to hold a bit longer than half a circle towards the end of the combo, but don't worry.
Speaker A
As long as you do the cancel fast, your mouth should still align on the finishers.
Speaker A
This is what the combo looks like on mouse and keyboard. Incinerate team.
Speaker A
This is what it looks like on controller. Incinerate. Incinerate.
Speaker A
And this is what it looks like on mobile. You can also replace it with Rosaria and it will pretty much work the same way.
Speaker A
I found it more consistent to do burst into skill on Rosaria and slot in an extra skill somewhere in the rotation so she doesn't run into energy issues, but other than that, the combo itself plays the same.
Speaker A
Now, let's take a look at the double cryo and vaporize combo.
Speaker A
I learned this combo from Butterf0808's video, which I will link in the description because I believe it is one of the best Mika combo guides on YouTube.
Speaker A
For this one, we're going to do one charge attack cancel into two charge attacks and a finisher.
