Brawlhalla is a wildly popular fighting game and, like other titles in the genre, it requires you to learn and master combos as they lead to some of the most powerful attacks possible. Here’s a list of all Brawlhalla weapon combos, the notations used to explain them, and more.

Brawlhalla is a great fighting game for beginners because the combat largely revolves around weapons and Legends only differ visually and based on the weapons they can use in combat.

Having said that, as you reach the higher ranks in Brawlhalla, you’re bound to understand the importance of combos. These moves are more powerful than your standard attacks but are only triggered through specific inputs which can be overwhelming for anyone.

To help you become a Brawlhalla pro, here’s a list of all the combos in the game alongside movement notations.

What are Brawlhalla combos?

Brawlhalla combos are basically combinations of movements such as dodging, attacking, and jumping. The goal is to perform several movements quickly so that the opponent runs out of time to react.

Brawlhalla movements and their notations

Here’s a list of every movement and attack that you can use to create a combo in Brawlhalla. We’ll be using terminology that is common in the community to make this guide more comprehensible.

Active Input (AI)

Active input in Brawlhalla is a property unique to Battle Boots, Scythes, and certain signature moves. Essentially, it means that holding a direction key after the first attack affects the outcome. Holding the proper directional key completes the combo while holding any other key will have a different outcome.

Light Attacks – Neutral, Side, and Down

  • nLight is a neutral light attack that you perform without moving.
  • sLight is a side light attack that you perform when your character is moving right or left.
  • dLight is a down light attack that you perform when your character is going down.

Air attacks – Neutral, Side, and Down

  • nAir is a neutral light attack in air.
  • sAir is a side light attack in air.
  • dAir is a down light attack in air.

Recovery

  • Rec is an aerial neutral attack that pushes the Legend up.

Ground Pound

  • GP refers to an attack that is initiated in the air. The Legend targets an opponent underneath them with great force and speed.

Signature Attacks

  • nSig is a Signature Attack that you perform without moving.
  • sSig is a Signature Attack that you perform while moving right or left.
  • dSig is a Signature Attack that you perform while moving down.

Ending

  • e is put before a combo if a move should be performed only during the end of an animation. For instance, eAir means that the desired move should take place right when the jump is about to end.

Gravity Cancel

  • GC refers to the player pressing dodge mid-air.

With this terminology, you’ll be able to better understand Brawlhalla combos and how to perform them.

Brawlhalla is a unique fighter game because it grants special abilities and combos to weapons instead of characters. Legends in the game have signature attacks but they aren’t ideal for combos because they push the enemies far away. Accordingly, you’ll observe that they are mostly used as combo finishers.

What is the difference between strings and combos in Brawlhalla?

Strings in Brawlhalla are similar to combos because they are also a combination of different movements. However, an opponent cannot escape from a true combo unless the attacker makes a mistake. On the flip side, you can dodge or jump out of strings.

Clearly, true combos are far more powerful than strings because they are unavoidable if executed perfectly.
