  • World record on 8/17/20 [PS4] - x677 on Knightmare. Rush starts at 2:30.
    These were some of my best splits rolled into one so it’s about as fast as I can go. I’ve been faster at 1 minute (x420) and I did x281 in the final minute this run so theoretically x700 is possible but I ain’t about that life lol.
    ***
    Combo Master is a timed combat challenge with a 2-minute timer that starts when you reach a combo of x200. It’s the first challenge you can unlock in BAK and showcases the new speed game that was introduced in Knight. (Basically, Batman gains speed as you successfully chain together critical strikes and loses speed if you make a mistake. If you’re not familiar with this mechanic I go over it in detail in my Azrael’s Atonement strategy guide. It’s in the video description here - • Azrael's Atonement - A... ).
    Before I talk about some of my strategies for the challenge, I’ll list the enemy spawns so you know what to expect:
    x40 - 2 knives
    x50 - 2 ninja
    x60 - 2 bats
    x70 - 1 armored brute (no weapon)
    x80 - 1 shield
    x90 - 1 medic
    x100 - 1 baton
    x110 - 2 ninja
    x120 - 1 gun
    x130 - 1 armored brute (with shield)
    x140 - 1 shield / 1 baton / or 2 guns
    x150 - 1 medic
    x160 - 1 shield / 1 baton / or 2 guns
    x170 - 1 armored brute (with shock gloves)
    x180 - 1 shield / 1 baton / or 2 guns
    x190 - 2 ninja
    x200 - 1 shield / 1 baton / or 2 guns
    x210 - 1 medic
    x230 - 1 armored brute (random weapon)
    x250 - 1 armored brute / 1 medic / or 2 ninja
    x270 - 1 armored brute / 1 medic / or 2 ninja
    x290 - 1 armored brute / 1 medic / or 2 ninja
    x310 - 1 armored brute / 1 medic / or 2 ninja
    After x310 only basic thugs spawn for the remainder of the challenge.
    In general, my strategy is to clear the board of as many time-consuming enemies as I can before I reach x200. This includes destroying all knives, shields, and batons, and defeating all three brutes. Ninjas suck and medics eat time so the fewer of those around when the clock starts the better. It’s your call when it comes to destroying guns. The danger in leaving them is obviously you can get shot, but also the camera can swing unpredictably to center on a gun, causing you to attack in a different direction than you were intending and potentially break combo. Leaving guns isn’t all bad, though, since they will frequently be at the top of the attack queue and other enemies won’t attack in the meantime, giving you more space to combo. I usually destroy a couple and leave a couple but I don’t think there’s necessarily a wrong answer, just what works best for you.
    After the timer starts it’s go time. The first thing to be on the lookout for is what weapon spawns at x200. If it’s a shield I destroy it; a baton I might destroy it or I might REC it; and if it’s guns I leave them. Next is the medic at x210. Medics require a minimum of three critical strikes (and at least one of those with special) to KO. I usually wipe medics with multi-ground takedowns so I don’t have to deal with electrified enemies but admittedly the highest scoring strategy is to KO with strikes.
    The first brute spawns at x230 and this is where the challenge gets brutal. Using bats against brutes has the highest scoring potential but the best tactic through the brute gauntlet is the one that doesn’t drop combo and comes out the other side at x310. My advice is you start your climb with basic tactics versus the brutes so you can make it to the final sprint and get comfortable with the entire run. If you get hung up on trying to perfect the brutes you might never make it into the clear where you score the big points. Personally, I only used regular takedowns on brutes until after I broke x500 and started the climb toward x600.
    The final sprint is tricky. Thugs on Combo Master have a cheeky sucker punch that’s not in Azrael’s Atonement so you can’t combo with auto-aim here the same way you can there. Odds are you’re going to have to counter and move more to stay ahead of incoming attacks. Trying to turn back into an attacking enemy is especially dangerous since that sucker punch is always in play.
    Well, that’s the outline. Unlike Azrael’s Atonement or Newton’s Cradle where the best run has been distilled into a specific strategy, Combo Master is much more open-ended. You’re going to need Batman’s entire bag of tricks to make it to the end so keep stacking tactics and pull them out when needed. If you want some targets to set your sights on, imo you’re an Arkham Master at x400 and an Arkham Grand Master at x500. For x500 you’re probably going to need x300+ at 1 minute on the clock.
    Good luck and try not to smash your controller. Lucius doesn’t always have a spare.

      I had kind of forgotten about that score. It’s curious for sure. The oddest part for me is the player never showed up on any other leaderboards. Even if the timer glitched and they had unlimited time, a x1000+ combo is no simple feat. You’d figure they would’ve put up another big score at some point.

      It's called the Earth 2 Dark Knight skin. It was originally available only through a voucher code given out at E3 but was later released by rocksteady for free in 2020. It might be PS4 only, though, I'm not sure.
      x500+ on Azrael's Atonement is a solid run, especially with Red Hood since it gets pretty crowded with weapons down the stretch. Nice work, keep it up 👍

      The timer doesn’t start until you reach x200 so there’s no rush before then. Take your time and clear the board of the annoying enemies so they don’t start to stack up. If you haven’t seen it, I included the spawn schedule in the video description. Once you know it, it’s easier to plan ahead.

    I've been trying to get myself in the top 100 on this one. I have made a combo before in other challenges that could get my their but that timer that starts when you get 200 combo cuts me off. I either use caution and prepare for a counter and take out the brutes witch consumes times, or I try to rush it and risk getting hit. I think I just learned a few methods with this one to use. I had no idea that a weapon would damage an armored brute directly.

      This should only be an issue at the beginning of the challenge when there’s less enemies in play. Once you get to around x50 you should be fine. The timer doesn’t start until you reach x200 so just slow down at the beginning.

    • @yqco6
      @yqco6 11 місяців тому +1

      I’m not sure what you mean by their combo disappearing after 1 second. Maybe you didn’t see them picking up the bats on the ground at 2:44 and 3:02? Or if you are referring to the stall at 3:19, they waited so they could counter the ninja, but it wasn’t long enough of a wait as to break the combo. Regarding the critical hits, are you talking about the beginning of the combo? Because I share the same struggle. There’s a lot of slo-mo when you’re starting a combo that messes with your timing, but it’s not really a big deal. Otherwise, you kind of just get a feel for the critical hits as you keep playing.

    • @dyyynamicentry
      @dyyynamicentry  11 місяців тому +1

      Idk how long exactly it takes for a combo to time out (1s sounds about right), but it’s longer than you think. You can even walk around a few steps between strikes and not drop combo. As for critical strikes, to score a critical strike you press strike after (or ideally at the same time) the previous strike makes contact. It’s said FreeFlow started as a rhythm game so it might help to think of it in that regard. Some attack animations are short beats, others are long beats. The goal is to stay on beat with when the strikes make contact.

    Why dont u use the Batclaw special takedown for the brutes?

    • @dyyynamicentry
      @dyyynamicentry  Місяць тому

      The most optimal strategy through the brutes this challenge is to use the bats. The tricky part is the number of brutes that spawn after the timer starts is random (there can be 1-5 brutes) so you can’t plan every move like you can in a challenge like Newton’s Cradle that has a set spawn schedule. In this run, I batted the first brute then a second brute spawned with a shield so I started looking for the second bat. Before I could get to the bat, a third brute spawned so I needed to damage one of the brutes if I wanted to KO them both with the one remaining bat (brutes on this challenge require 3 critical strikes with a bat to KO; each bat can perform 5 critical strikes and 1 strike when it breaks, so you can’t KO two brutes with one bat using just strikes). I decided to damage the shield brute with a takedown so then I’d be able to KO both with the bat. While attempting to do this a thug started to punch me so I conceded the bat takedown on the brute to avoid getting hit. Maybe I could’ve aimed a strike to pull me away from the incoming punch and then doubled back to the brute to finish the KO but it was a split-second decision.
      Personally, my strategy for this challenge was to start with the most optimal strategy then adjust as necessary depending on the spawns. I’ve seen others put up huge scores without the bats altogether, so they’re not necessary, just optimal in theory.
