This is such a cool secondary mechanic to the umbrella in WWM! Just unfortunate that it has an endurance cost.

So what happens if I hold the attack button?
... Oh cool!!

The cr.HP into DP is coming out a lot more consistently. So now I've freed up some brain power to start thinking about what comes after. This is the current highest damage combo that I can do (relatively consistently) with Viper. And I can also see how I can improve on it too. She's really fun!

Definite progress with Viper this morning. My fingers just suddenly started getting cr.HP into DP working a bit more consistently. Slowly starting to adjust to her playstyle in a few places.

Viper is pretty cool but (as expected) her inputs are breaking my brain. AKI doesn't have a DP so that input isn't automatic for me yet - just going to have to work on it.
Anyways, this punish combo feels so good to do!

When I started watching high level AKI gameplay, I would see players fit a quick standing light kick into their BnB combos. I thought I'd never be dexterous enough to do it myself but a few months later I'm starting to believe that maybe I actually can do it!

Did I just learn how to do a 5400+ damage combo? 😮

It might be a seemingly uneventful clip but I'm so proud of myself. I always rush at the end but I stayed patient this time and found my opportunity. 😊
