Enders

Combo Position Notes
5BB > 214C Close Standard meterless damage ender. Gets an easy safejump, but doesn't really give you the positioning to deal with a variety of tech directions when midscreen. If you end with this in the very corner, back jump into falling j.B should be able to catch all techs.
5BB > 236A Any A Zio ender. Good if you're near the corner, which allows a safejump afterward and prevents escaping through a forward tech. Also usable if you just want to set up from fullscreen distance.
5BB > 5C Any Safejump ender for less damage but puts Adachi closer on the knockdown. Also gives significant enough additional advantage that Adachi can safejump especially fast (4f) reversals and even a few more guardpoint reversals than usual.
5BB > 236B* Far (236B* denotes that the B Ziodyne does not hit in the combo, but is instead used for okizeme) Requires very specific routing to get the proper distance, but creates a post-knockdown situation where opponent cannot tech past and must block a B Ziodyne on wakeup. Pretty good way to enforce blocking from counter-type DP characters. If you have a fast partner character, you can also tag out immediately afterward to have a pushblock-immune oki setup!
5BBB > 2C > 214A Any Heat Riser ender. Deals the most meterless damage and grants Heat Riser buff afterward. Doesn't really grant oki at the end of longer combos, since it allows an airtech afterward. Midscreen oki is also very limited, since the 214A sends the opponent across the screen.
5BBB > 2C > 214BC Any Cross Slash ender. This is your go-to metered ender, as it deals very solid minimum damage and allows for a safejump afterward.

Combo Theory

Adachi's combo theory is relatively straightforward - his 5AAA results in a low airborne launch, and his j.C is an incredibly versatile combo extension tool. That said, a lot of his normals cost valuable combo time, and j.C has extremely poor damage scaling to balance out its versatility.

Generally Adachi wants to get as much damage as he can on the ground before launching, either through 5AAA > 5B or 5BB > 2B, into an air combo. Air combo routings are varied, but will always go into j.C > (land) > 5A > etc., enabling Adachi to then end with a proper ground knockdown. It's important to connect the final 5B before the combo timer reaches 6 seconds, though, or else 5B-B will not work due to the hitstun reduction. After this, Adachi can end in Ghastly Wail (214C) or 5C for a safejump, A Maziodyne (236A) to send across the screen (or set up a near corner safejump), or Cross Slash (214BC) for damage and, once again, a safejump.

While Heat Riser (214A) gives Adachi a 10% damage buff on hit, it doesn't provide as strong of a knockdown setup as his other combo enders (and in the case of longer combos, no knockdown at all), which makes it difficult to take advantage of this damage buff since it wears off as soon as Adachi gets hit.

Vorpal Blade (236C) is a usable combo extender, but since Adachi is so capable of performing stable routing off of either 5AAA or 5BB > 2B, it's generally not necessary unless you need a conversion from an awkward distance. For the meter spent, however, it does provide a decent increase in total damage, as long as it's used early enough.

Sample Combo

5AAA > 5B > jc > j.AA > j.C > (land) > 5A > 5BB > 214C

This is pretty much the basic skeleton from where Adachi routing is formed, and optimization will typically involve either extending the air combo or adding some more damage front-side, but the difference in damage is often under 500 because of how self-contained everything is.
