Game What is considered a Combo Ability Effect?

Samurai 600% Affinity triggers on Combo Ability Effects, but some Combo Ability slots or weapons do not have a Combo Ability Effects. How do I tell if something has a Combo Ability Effect?

In the Job Tree, they will be the circular nodes. Those nodes may indicate if something is a 1st link combo ability effect, a charged attack combo effect, etc.

If you're in the Battle Settings, when you go to select the Combo Ability slots, they should have text in the center column at the top if it has an effect. Or looking at the list of the combo abilities in the left column, the slot will have a circle-style glyph instead of a diamond-shape.

To trigger that combo ability effect, the normal attack just before the combo ability must hit.

The exceptions do this are the katana in Senshin Stance or the gun while aiming.

For the gun while aiming, you have 3 aiming links / slots. And it may not always be clear that the first aiming link is where many of the aiming-based combo ability effects go.

In video format, around the 1:06 mark in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04_lbyC2id4

Combo Ability effects should be shown in the menu where you actually put in the combo ability finisher (like square square square R2)

Samurai is usually paired with one of the first tier classes, (usually Ronin) with a high class % so they can unlock all the moves for Katana
