	Sephiroth can use Reaper or Sudden Cruelty and Kuja's Force Symphony HP to enforce HP damage. This is best done near a wall, where the opponent won't be sent too far from Kuja.		Sephiroth can use Reaper or Sudden Cruelty and Kuja's Force Symphony HP to enforce HP damage. This is best done near a wall, where the opponent won't be sent too far from Kuja.

	Both Reaper and Sudden Cruelty setups work similarly. Sephiroth can comfortably use either chase attack and get good results. Reaper has slightly higher base damage than Sudden Cruelty, but it's not as commonly used due to Sephiroth's aerial playstyle. Unless Sephiroth invests into base BRV recovery, it may be better to follow up with Sudden Cruelty after Assist Chase,		Both Reaper and Sudden Cruelty setups work similarly.

	Sephiroth with Kuja assist is a classic staple in competitive play. Kuja enables combos for Sephiroth anywhere, and wall rushes only increase Sephiroth's damage output. Whether it's picking up from braveries or enabling {{keyword\|fillers\|filler}}, Kuja can get the job done. This is a very well-rounded synergy, with good damage output and flexibility in areas where Sephiroth needs it.		Sephiroth with Kuja assist is a classic staple in competitive play.

Heaven's Light deals HP damage quickly, but this is only a downside if an assist combo started with an HP attack. Sephiroth can get punished for using this if Assist Change is used near ceiling. This is because opponent is sent upwards after Assist Change, so they can follow Sephiroth and punish him more consistently. However, if Sephiroth is already at the ceiling, Heaven's Light becomes much safer against Assist Change counter attempts. This is because Assist Change will send opponent downward at the ceiling.

Octaslash is stronger both in damage and base BRV recovery, but it may not be prioritized since his other HPs have more utility. Scintilla ends faster by comparison, but also has less knockback for wall rush. Both moves generate EX, but if they wall rush, the opponent can grab some of it with Glutton {{accsp}}.		:These are HPs with highest bravery damage, great for bravery breaks.

 These combos have a basic structure to them; Stop an attack or wall rush the opponent, then call Kuja assist and follow up after Assist Chase. This fundamental combo route works for most of Sephiroth's moves, so players can focus on getting comfortable with the character.
