Combos

VIDEO NOTICE

This video dates from before RPG Builder 2.0 however what is shown/explained is still accurate, the only thing to keep in mind here is that the editor UI has changed

Combos are still located in Combat > Combos

The "Initial Key" checkbox has been removed and replaced with the "StartAbilityKey" (see list below what each key type means) & "Require Hit" has been removed

Combos allows you to trigger a chain of abilities with their own effects, animations, etc
