Condition Combo Base Damage EX Notes
Punish starter Dart & Weave > DC (up, down) > Hop Step 53-54 165 Video Base Damage (Breakdown): 33-34 > 20 Opponent Assist (Comrade's Vow): ??? EX Force (Breakdown): 75 > 90 Somewhat practical solo combo, though there may not be many opportunities to land this. Timing is not very lenient and the dodge cancel arc may change depending on the camera angle. The idea here is to move up and connect Hop Step as soon as possible.
Punish starter Cut & Run (midair) > DC (up) > Hop Step 48-54 180 Video Base Damage (Breakdown): 24-34 > 20 Opponent Assist (Comrade's Vow): ??? EX Force (Breakdown): 90 > 90 Difficult, but a rewarding combo for EX. Does not require Adamant Chains, but timing for the dodge cancel and the followup is strict.
Punish starter Stick & Move (return hit) > DC (up, quarter circle left) > Hop Step 30 150 Video Base Damage (Breakdown): 10 > 20 Opponent Assist (Comrade's Vow): ??? EX Force (Breakdown): 60 > 90 Impractical in most situations as it requires missing the initial sword throw. Good EX gain works without walls, however.

Assist Combos (Aerith)

Most attacks leave Tidus airborne, which allow him to call Aerith for Seal Evil combos. Tidus' reliable core combos don't need wall rush, so they work consistently even in large stages like Order's Sanctuary and Orphan's Cradle. Wall rushes do increase damage for Tidus, and the combo routes there are pretty straightforward.

Cut & Run (midair) > Quick Hit is a common, relatively high power assist combo ender for Tidus. That will be listed in the following combos most of the time. Any combo with "(behind opponent)" can do more damage if Sneak Attack extra ability is equipped. Other enders may be prioritized depending on the situation, such as Jecht Shot to avoid LV2 Assist Change stagger or Slice and Dice to confuse opponents looking to use Assist Change.

◆ Basic Combos

Basic combos are simple combos with fewest conditions.
- Can be performed from most positions, or with Wall Rush

Core Combos (Aerith AST)

◆ Core Combos

Core combos balance potency with consistency.
- They work against most characters in the game
- May require adjustments due to position, assist, resources or builds
- May require combo fillers during assist
- May require different combo enders from basic combos
- Are expected to be consistently performable by most intermediate and advanced players who main the character

Condition Combo Base Damage EX Notes
Poke starter Hop Step > AST BRV > Chase HP > HP dodged > air jump (behind opponent) > Cut & Run > Quick Hit 55-61 + HP WR 195 Video Base Damage (Breakdown): 20 > 28-34 > 7 + HP WR Opponent Assist (Comrade's Vow): ??? EX Force (Breakdown): 90 > 15 > 90 If the opponent dodges the chase HP, this generates more EX and still lets Tidus follow up with more bravery damage. But only if it's evaded this way; Opting to eat the chase HP can end the combo early without wall rush.
Air gap closer Full Slide (2 parts) > AST BRV > DC > Free Air Dash > Cut & Run > Quick Hit 54-66 + HP WR 120 Video Base Damage (Breakdown): 19-25 > 28-34 > 7 + HP WR Opponent Assist (Comrade's Vow): ??? EX Force (Breakdown): 30 > 90 Reliable wall-less combo. If ceiling is closer than wall, you can opt for Jecht Shot ender instead for wall rush damage.
