Beginner Combos
Two important facts to know when beginning to learn Dante are:
- Learning to Bold Cancel is not optional, Dante's combos simply will not work in real world scenarios consistently until you learn to do 6H > X+S > 623M. It's difficult at first but will get easier with practice.
- Dante has many, many routing options and the combos presented here only represent a few selected by the editors. Likely they are not perfectly optimal or even the easiest routing. It's important that once you start getting more comfortable you look around at other combo guides and players to find the right mix of damage, difficulty, and utility to suit your needs.
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.

Beginner Helm Splitter / Hammer ComboMake them fear the ground beneath you
Very Easy
j.S / 236L~L, 623M~M, 623M~M > 236XX
A very basic conversion from a stray Helm Splitter or Hammer hit. While it's also an option to pick up with 3HH that is a habit best avoided as generally it leads to lower damage routes. This will route will build little meter but will do solid damage for how simple it is.
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.
