Starters

Starters

Number	Combo	Damage	Stun	Notes
1	j.X	X	X	Jump-in, can be added before starters 2, 3, and 4.
2	2B > 2A > 3D	74	85	Hit confirm from 2B. 2B no longer cancels into command normals, and 3D will whiff at longer ranges, so the best you can do is 2B > 2A > 3D.
3	cl.C > 3D	108	110	Most powerful starter, tends to leave the opponent closer than other starters. 3D will whiff after 214D unless you do a microwalk before cl.C.
4	2C(1)	30	30	Ranged starter that also leaves the opponent closer to Krohnen.
5	214D	80	40	It's possible to link into many of Krohnen's standing and crouching normals after 214D, except for f.C, cl.D, and CD. A microwalk may be needed for cl.C depending on distance.
6	Spaced 236C	105	48	Can be used in corner pressure, juggles opponent.
7	CD	75	100	Worst CD in the game, but still has its uses as a niche starter due to the wallsplat.
8	cl.D	80	80	Hard knockdown, fast overhead, only leads into OTG moves

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B*3 > 6A	112	75		Anywhere	Simple and clean Krohnen combo.
(j.X/214D) 2B*3 > 3D > 214B	140	145		Anywhere	Krohnen's BNB. Not a good blockstring, as Krohnen can be punished by a throw if 214B is blocked up close. Subtract 2B's based on range.
(j.X/214D) 2B*3 > 3D > 214B, 623A	207	225		Corner	You can link into 623A after landing 214B in the corner.
CD > 214B(whiff), 2C(1)	100	130		Anywhere	Air reset after CD, can meaty with 214D afterward.
CD > 214B(whiff), c.D	117	100		Anywhere	Can safejump afterward.

0.5 Bar

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
(j.X/214D) 2B*3 > 3D > 236AC, 214D, c.D				Anywhere	A good way to score a hard knockdown for only half a bar. Can safejump after c.D.
(j.X/214D) 2B*3 > 3D > dl.236AC, 66AB, c.D				Anywhere	If you delay 236AC (so that Krohnen is closer to the opponent when the move comes out), you have enough time to roll through them and hit them with an OTG c.D. Useful for sideswapping if you're in the corner.
(j.X/214D) 2B*3 > 3D > 236AC, 66 214B, 623A				Anywhere	By running up and then doing 214B after 236AC, you can link into 623A, thereby taking what was once a corner exclusive combo and giving yourself the ability to do this midscreen at the cost of half a bar. Useful for confirming into a super from 623A.
