Question about Combo Attack
So how exactly does this skill work? Do I get bonus damage on just the skills that use up Combo orbs, or is the damage passively increased on my other abilities as well? When I have full orbs and cancel it my range doesn't go down at all so I'm kind of confused about how this ability actually works.

Ohh I see that explains it then. Thanks for the help!

[quote=ToForgive] I just came back to my lvl 102 hero the other day and added like 3 points to Advanced Combo but when the blue orbs are full none of the red orbs appear. Did they change the way this attack works now? How's this attack supposed to work?[/quote]

You won't be able to see the damage boost from each combo orb on your range (one of the many reasons Heroes have a "deceptively low range", but the concept is simple. Every orb that is spinning around you increases your damage. Advanced Combo doubles that (the red orb representing two). All of your attacks are effected by this, not just moves that use orbs (Panic and Puncture). So, in order to keep your damage high, you need to try and keep your orbs at max as often as possible.
However, there are other tricks to know as well. First off, when fighting a boss (or enemy that takes a little while to kill), you want to start the fight off using Panic and Puncture on them in order to increase damage output. Puncture is pretty straightforward - any enemy hit by the attack are more succeptable to criticals (you'll do more crits). Panic will put any enemy hit by it under darkness/blind status (bosses included). The point of this is not to get hit less, but the actual status effect itself. The 3rd job skill Chance Attack passively damages enemies effected by stun, freeze or darkness/blind. Almost as if they planned that... go figure ^_~. Anyways, the Panic/Puncture effects have icons and durations... so if you stop seeing their effect symbols over the target's head, hit 'em again with it. Also, don't forget Enrage for 1v1 (which also adds damage that won't appear on the range).
Combo attack increase damage on all skills and does not show up on stats window, but does not increase bonus damage from critical hits.
ACA doesn't show up in range window. it boost all attack skills, and some skills require orbs to be used such as panic and puncture
