Style and Orb Formulas

(1) Style formulas are added after an attack:

  • Style point of attack × (Number of attacks + 9) ×0.1
  • If you perform an attack repeatedly, the style point for that attack will be reduced by 50%.
  • If you do another attack then the style value will return to normal.
  • The finisher hit gets a 5× bonus to style point gained.
Time to make a combo (Basically style meter time): From when style point was last added: Within 1.8s

Note: When in the middle of a roll (Wallhike counts from the start until you bounce off the wall) or SDT activation until you can move again, the style timer will be stopped.

Red Orb Drop Formulas

The amount of Red Orbs that drop when an enemy dies is based on number of points. To calculate:
  • Take Enemy Total HP
  • Combo Rank Multiplier (Refer to the table table above)
  • Then Calculate the number of points you have according to this formula: Enemy total HP × 0.03 × Combo rank multiplier
  • After that crosscheck the points you have with the number of orbs the enemy will drop in the table below
