Basic Information

All weapons in Bloodborne have combination attacks achieved by chaining together light and heavy attacks in sequence. Some of these combination attacks have the property of stuning the target and leaving them open to futher attacks, making the combo inescapable if the first hit connects. A video showcase video showcase of these "true combos" has been created by Scorched Knight.
