Endgame Training Technniques

Does anyone have any definitive answer on the best combination of attacks for SDH when a Mercedes 1hkos? I should note I can't 1hko with rising rush alone or piercing storm, but I can ohko with any other attacks buffed.

I personally find Lightning Edge + Leap Tornado spam to cancel the delay the fastest; I get about 3% more exp per unit time than jump>Gust Dive>Lightning Edge>jump>Leap Tornado. Is there a more efficient method? I've already tried linking the leap tornado at the end to the gust dive at the beginning of the latter combination but it sometimes makes me gust dive onto the middle platform. Should I practice this combination more?

I don't use lightning edge>staggering strikes because there's a delay that locks me in place as I cast staggering strikes which slows down exp gain. This goes for almost any combination that makes me static for a moment including spikes royale and rising rush follow ups.

I also train at SDH mostly because my kanna will die easily at armoury or KD4. If anyone knows a safe spot at those maps it'd be very much appreciated.

As a final note, I can't ohko with gust dive when unbuffed but I can do so with lightning edge. Is it worth it to stop casting all my buffs except booster?

@Deezdeezdeez because one combo requires me to buff and the other one doesn't. Thanks for all the help, I'll try chaining lightning edge; I notice that the range sometimes doesn't cover all the monsters in its hit box though. Is that normal?

KD4 has a safe spot on the right portal.

I use Lightining edge as the main mobbing skill with WoE, Unicorn Spike and Spikes as 'finshers'.

1. LE in a direction (lets say >> for now) followed by WoE
2. Face other direction LE then Unicorn
3. Face >> LE then Spikes
4. Face << LE then (use any skill available, if none of the CD skills are available use Staggering Strikes)

I also use a Cygnus Soul, which makes training easier at SDH.

Unrelated but for Warrior Grounds this is what I do: https://youtu.be/NywiGD03IyI (not that anyone trains there...)

Why would you not buff if you cannot no-clown properly.

I personally just spam lightning edge because I'm lazy.
