Notes

• The additional Combo Count Chance seems to universally affect all sources of combo count generation.
• The Combo Duration penalty is calculated from the melee weapon's base value. Meaning it always subtracts exactly 2.5 seconds and therefore is easily counteracted by Combo Duration mods (e.g.  Body Count,  Swift Momentum,  Rising Storm).
• Pairs well with stances that have high damage multipliers in their combos and each pellet from Gunblade shots.
  •  Crushing Ruin's Winding Temper combo is one attack consisting of 3 hits for 300%, 200%, and 400% damage, respectively, totaling +9 hit combo if the target survives the first two hits.
  • The  Redeemer shoots 10 pellets with each shot, resulting in +10 hit combo if they all hit a target.

Trivia

• Unlike most mods, the picture shows an  Excalibur wearing the Pendragon helmet, his Immortal Skin, as well as a different color scheme. This is a rare instance of a mod depicting a non-default character loadout. Other examples are  Life Strike, Second Wind,  Enduring Strike, Warrior's Grip,  Quickening and  Corrupt Charge, all of which are Heavy Attack/Combo related mods.
• This is currently one of two non-stance weapon mods that use the Zenurik Polarity. The other mod is  Enduring Strike.
• Prior to Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), this mod grants additional critical chance upon Channeling while reducing Channeling efficiency.
