Beginner Combos
Basic, simple combos with few requirements or restrictions.
- Work on all or nearly all characters.
- Require little to no resources (Meter, Assists, Character Specific Stocks).
- Need minimal adjustments for positioning or starter.
Basic Web Swing ComboDay 1 execution for good damage
Easy
Damage: 692,800
Meter Gain: ~1.2 bars (costs 1)
2L > 2M > 5H > 6H > j.5M > j.6H > j.236M[Three Arrows] > 5H > 4H > 5S > j.5M > j.5M > j.5H > j.6H > j.5M > j.5H > j.5S > jump > j.236H[Three Arrows] > 236L+H
This combo is extremely useful as a day-1 BNB and deals enough damage and builds enough meter to kill most of the cast with a good DHC behind it. This combo works midscreen or in the corner.
Core Combos
Core combos that balances reward with execution and reliability.
- Works against a selected set of characters.
- Can require adjustments for positioning and resources.
- Are expected to be consistently performable by a skilled player who main the character.
The Moons (with looped hypers)Better damage, more meter
Easy-Medium
Damage: 939,300
Meter Gain: ~1.4 bars (costs 2)
2L > 2M > 5H > 4H > 5S > sjc. > j.5M > j.6H > j.236M[Three Arrows] > 5H > 4H > 5S > j.5M > j.5M > j.5H > j.6H > j.5M > j.5H > j.5S > jump > j.236H[Three Arrows] > 236L+H > 2369M+H
While still being relatively easy, this combo is Taskmaster's definitive BNB. It does huge damage and builds a good amount of meter, enabling you to kill most of the cast even without assist extensions. This combo works midscreen or in the corner.
H Aim Master StarterYour go-to anti-air
Easy-Medium
Damage: 850,000
Meter Gain: ~1.2 bars (costs 2)

This is your combo if the opponent is hanging out at super-jump height. This combo works midscreen or in the corner.
Advanced Combos
Advanced Combos are specialized in usage, require awareness, execution, and have advantages over core combos.
- May only work on a few characters or in specific circumstances.
- Can have any amount of requirements such as meter, positioning, starter.
- Are not necessarily harder than core combos, but require more specific knowledge.

A difficult but rewarding extension that is important for many of Taskmaster's most optimal combos.
Assist Extensions & Combo Enders
Taskmaster benefits from assists by:
- Converting his throws into a combo. It is possible to combo solo from his air throw but has minimum height requirement, and is timing dependent.
- Building large amount of meter; allowing him to Double Legion Arrow or DHC more often.
