This is not the most optimal route for Garland, but it is still strong. It provides almost 50 % EX gauge, HP damage and a relatively safe reset to neutral thanks to Twist Drill chase.

			Since this starts from Deathblow, this combo is recommended for stages like M. S. Prima Vista and Pandaemonium - Top Floor. Garland does not have much time to do the Cyclone combo after Kuja assist, so it is important to do everything as soon as humanly possible. Remember that there is no {{keyword\|input buffer\|inputbuffer=1}} to help, so everything must be timed manually.

			* Call assist immediately after empty chase ends.
			* After using Kuja assist, do Cyclone as soon as possible
			* Press dodge {{pspcro}} + {{pspr}} repeatedly to get the Assist Chase prompt, and do Assist Chase as soon as possible

			EX Revenge unlocks some of Garland's strongest combos. The Bardiche combo is notorious for its damage output and relatively low execution. Garland can also use assist and his solo combo routes to extend any EX Revenge combo much further, whether it's with wall rush or without it. At the ceiling, Garland can even attempt to fill another EX gauge by routing Kuja assist combos with Cyclone and Chain Cast.

			As a result, Garland has lots of damage potential with EX Revenge. It is the reason why interacting with him can be so dangerous when he has a full EX gauge.

			\|notes=Garland's EX Revenge combo is infamous for its insane damage output. It is one of, if not THE strongest EX Revenge combo in the game without assist. As long as Garland is close to the opponent, he can repeatedly use Bardiche up to five times. Each Bardiche can also wall rush, which adds even more damage near ground. This combo requires little adjustment for Garland and it should be fairly easy to execute, as long as pressing Circle {{pspcir}} repeatedly is not an issue.

			This combo is the reason a full EX gauge is so beneficial for Garland. It practically guarantees a bravery break for Garland. And even if it doesn't, the wall rush still lets assists follow up. As a result, this combo can do far more damage than just the listed 165 + HP WR. 4,000 HP is practically killing range for Garland, while having more health usually means being put into '''[[Statistic_(Dissidia_012)#Near_Death\|Near Death]]''' state.

			It is important to note, that wall rush contributes a lot to this combo's damage output. Therefore, if Garland cannot wall rush with Bardiche or especially Flare, he won't do nearly as much damage. Furthermore, if Garland needs to approach opponent from a distance, he has less time to do Bardiches. In order to ensure maximum damage, Garland should consider activating EX Revenge close to opponent, while being near ground. Garland can also consider dodging behind the opponent at the beginning to get more critical hits from Sneak Attack extra ability.

Because Chain Cast > Twist Drill is a consistent strong combo for Garland, it will be usually listed as a combo ender in this section. It adds roughly 180 EX and ~45 base damage, which depends on how close Twist Drill hits the opponent. Flare is okay for HP damage specifically, and is great after a bravery break. It adds 30 EX and 15 base damage, so it's obviously weaker than the Chain Cast combo without high bravery to back it up.

If Garland has assist, he can also start an assist combo by dodge cancelling, or after empty chase ends.

			:If opponent is far after Chain Cast, Twist Drill may not land all initial hits. This combo does not require wall, but it can be easier to do near walls and corners due to reduced knockback. Garland should remain cautious when empty chasing at a corner, because being closer to the opponent makes him a bit more vulnerable to recovery attack attempts.

			When wall is not nearby, Garland can dodge cancel towards opponent more reliably by moving camera sideways after Assist Chase, and then moving with a quarter-circle motion. For example, the camera is tilted to the right so Garland faces to the left. The quarter-circle motion would then be left > left/up > up. The initial left should be held for almost a split second.

He enables combos from all relevant moves and provides highest reward on hit, both in bravery damage and EX. This is great for Garland, since he can leverage a full EX gauge very well with high bravery.

	=== ~~Garland's~~ Combo ~~Enders~~ ===		=== Combo Theory (Kuja AST) ===

	Kuja braveries~~' vertical knockback allows more consistent~~ Chain Cast > Twist Drill ~~dodge cancel combos~~ for ~~a good total of extra 45 base~~ damage. This ~~makes~~ it ~~the defacto ender~~ for ~~bravery damage and building EX gauge~~, but ~~it is often much more consistent when done near~~ a wall, ~~corner or ceiling~~. ~~Many combos listed~~ will ~~default~~ to ~~this ender~~, ~~but they are recommended~~ for ~~experienced players. For easier, consistent followups~~, '''~~Twist Drill and Flare~~''' ~~work after both Kuja assist braveries~~.		Garland can start damaging combos with any Wall Rush, most melee moves and the Deathblow > Twist Drill solo combo. Kuja's braveries allow simple and reliable follow-ups, including Twist Drill or Flare. Garland can also end combos with Chain Cast > Twist Drill, which is his staple air combo for bravery damage and EX. This is what Garland prefers at higher levels of play, as it lets him build a good win condition without risking immediate Assist Change countermeasures. Walls are not strictly required for Garland thanks to his solo combos, but they benefit him at any point in a combo.

			If Garland gets a ground wall rush with Bardiche or Lance Charge, the Kuja BRV assist enables high damaging Bardiche combo fillers. Two Bardiche > Dodge Cancels is enough to shred the bravery, so this is the combo that opponents will most likely escape from with assist. Garland may want to refrain from immediately going for a Bardiche filler if the opponent can escape, because being stuck in a Bardiche animation makes it harder to protect Kuja from '''[[Assist_(Dissidia_012)#Assist_Lock\|Assist Lock.]]'''

			Ending combos with HP attacks is straightforward. Flare for HP damage + Wall Rush, and Cyclone for more safety against '''[[Assist_(Dissidia_012)#LV2_Assist_Change\|LV2 Assist Change]]''' staggers. Cyclone can also be good for threatening the opponent when Garland has enough bravery to end a match.

=== EX Revenge ===

== Assist Combos (Kuja) ==

Garland works very well with Kuja assist. He enables combos from all relevant moves and provides highest reward on hit, both in bravery damage and EX.

=== Garland's Combo Enders ===

Kuja braveries' vertical knockback allows more consistent Chain Cast > Twist Drill dodge cancel combos for a good total of extra 45 base damage. This makes it the defacto ender for bravery damage and building EX gauge, but it is often much more consistent when done near a wall, corner or ceiling. Many combos listed will default to this ender, but they are recommended for experienced players. For easier, consistent followups, '''Twist Drill and Flare''' work after both Kuja assist braveries.

|notes=Dodge cancel version. Hold Cross {{pspcro}} and time the R {{pspr}} button press late into the animation. Won't absorb all EX Force on the field, but if Garland mistimes it early, he won't even dodge cancel and use assist. Despite the huge knockback, Garland can still pursue and punish the opponent who tries to escape and lock Kuja.
