From basic tricks to new & advanced chains, here's 20 important combos you should know to propel your Blade Dancer into Gold-Rank and beyond.
Very roughly, from personal experience, the amount of damage the Thunder Typhoon combo deals varies by classes & their escapes;

Can I get coached so I can learn how to pvp correctly

[@AraIevent]

I'm well outta practice, so I'm not qualified to coach anyone atm. I can however, provide a lecture. I'd recommend checking the community Discord Channels if you're looking for a coach. First off, video timestamps 0:47, 1:37, 2:22, 2:51, 3:53, 4:15 and 5:16 are all combos to have down by heart. However, replace Flash Step for Lightning Strike; Flash Step got nerfed barely a month after it got buffed. If you still want to use Flash Step, refer to the followup video linked at the end of this one. Timestamps 5:52 and 6:18 are advanced combos to learn that punishes anybody without Lightning Draw and is recommended to use together with it, so opponents are forced to burn their escapes (on either Lightning Draw or the Adv.Combo), so you can immediately recatch them with the other combo you haven't used yet. Ignore the combos after those; they can only be used in nearly impossible circumstances. The Adv.Combos are quite effective as the followup combo vs Summoners because the CCs are AoE and lockdown the Cat as well (If using Lightning Draw, Guardian Tempest should be activated beforehand, to prevent the cat from attacking your back). They also work well against Warlocks, but you have to stay on their tail. One of the most important HM Skills to obtain are the Sunder skills, especially Volume 1. The damage of a full Raid, x3 Sunder, Rolling Typhoon and aerial combo helps a ton, easily chucking out +20% of an opponent's lifebar. As a Blade Dancer, Blade Masters are one of your class-specific biggest threats, as they can force you to burn your escapes the instant you get within 16m and immediately followup on it; 1-combo deaths are very possible against them. Take it slowly if you've got nothing left to throw at them and stall things out; Phantom Grip + Hurl helps tremendously to stall and put some distance between you. This might be one matchup you'd want to try some guaranteed Flash Step combos on. As a Blade Dancer, you also have a strong stalling potential. Learning to defend (and run away) is just as important as learning to time your combos and CCs, so get used to managing your beyblade focus and watching for your opponent's attack queues.

Ara Uesugi thanks for the advice

[@anhhy5486]

so this why i feel familiar when watching the kurtzpel pvp guide....

[@iphantomancerxd]

Really nice vid! But can u do a vid on how to deal with summoner? The cat is so annoying...

[@AraIevent]

Oh, darn.......I just wanna play For Honor, cuz BnS doesn't have my Lancer

[@iphantomancerxd]

Ooo thanks a lot for the tips! It helps a lot!

[@AraIevent]

Oh last thing; when in doubt; Crash the Summoner in your aerial combo with Right Click, instead of Ascend-Left Click. If you're lucky, you'll even KD the cat too, giving you extra time with your Guardian Tempest IFrames. If I have to make a vid (which I dun wanna), these are all the tips that would be mentioned.

[@SilvvSidd]

thank you so much for the video!

[@7even77]

Can you do these guides for all of the classes? It`s so informative and interesting, like

[@AraIevent]

Oh hell nope; I could only do it for Blade Dancer since I specialized in the class. If we ever get a Lancer class, I'd be more than happy to cover that!

[@mrzarent]

You can only do that in a dummy haha, try doing that on a warlock, if it works then we'll talk

[@007eater]

i think so lol

[@2bornottobe480]

Nice combos

[@HeartKF]

nice combo, was doing some of them, but i know more now, complicated to do this on bm or warlock

[@AraIevent]

On Lock? I find them to be the easiest, being a ranged class with fewer escapes. Melee classes are definitely the toughest to hold them on; counters can't block HM Sunder, but do affect Typhoon, so they can mess timings up and reduce damage potential by half (each Typhoon combo deals 15% dmg, 45% total full combo). For the last 3 combos, you can sing happy birthday if you're lucky enough for the opponent to give you that free win.

[@richardlaw9873]

So no Dual Strike ? Storm Cleave isnt good for pvp imo unless you face silver :/ This class is broken because of the stall power they have then can shove tons of dmg with the double aerial + Lightning draw.

[@AraIevent]

?Dual Strike is plainly in there, unless you mean the IFrame version. Storm Cleave is interesting; you give up a catcher for it, but in return, all wall collisions are a guaranteed 30% damage (outside Stun-Esc). Probably not a good option vs Des/FM Perseverance/Backstep. VS BM/BD, you just have to immediately throw them; their grab escapes can't activate in time; KFM's can, although it'll be midflight. Each Aerial dishes 15~20% and Lightning Draw's 15% (excluding AoE Field/Flash Step/Lightning Flash, roughly 18% minimum each).

[@richardlaw9873]

Yes I meant the version, the thing is it gives you so much time to stall the game which helps you reset your cooldowns. You will have a really long with your other skills which helps you to find the opening you need to do a knock up combo.

[@AraIevent]

That's a type of tactic and not a combo, hence why it isn't included in this video.

[@ThinhNguyen-dp7is]

[@shinratensei7937]

Ara Uesugi tks, it's awesome

[@ciber5650]

Totally not posible with 200 ms :'c

[@AraIevent]

And possible at 140 ms. I'd say 150 is the right at the point where the straw breaks the camel's back. Sunder & Typhoon definitely start to freak out at 175 ms.

[@luiscruzado201]

playing elsword.

[@chemagonzalez3068]

you do that in pvp and they kill you in two seconds

[@AraIevent]

You're dead wrong, literally. Getting caught in the punishes while playing as any class is gg. To begin with, Blade Dancers are renown and hated for their stalling capabilities. That being said, anyone able to perform any of the SOS combos in a match can pat themselves, because that means they've completely locked down the opponent. The argument only floats in a team-battle scenario, which in itself is sketchy, since both fighters have teammates to bail them out. In a 1v1 situation, Blade Masters are the best at "killing you (Blade Dancers) in two seconds," provided they break through all of their stalling.
