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)

j.236H[Three Arrows] > 5H > 6H > j.5M > j.6H > j.236L[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

This is your combo if the opponent is hanging out at super-jump height. This combo works midscreen or in the corner.

X-factor InfiniteKills everyone (even in Level 1)

Easy-Medium

Damage: ∞

Meter Gain: ∞

4H > 236M[Three Arrows] > repeat

This combo is a true infinite in x-factor 2 and 3, but in xf1 it still lasts long enough to kill the entire cast if you blow X at the very start of the combo.

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.

Corner Self-OTGExtra Meter and Damage in a Pinch

Medium-Hard

[at top of normal jump height] j.6H > 236H[Three Arrows] > land > immediate 4H > 236S

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.
