Combo List

All damage values are damage dealt to Sol unless the combo cannot work on him, in which case the character with the closest defense modifier is used.
Damage values listed for combos with interchangeable combo parts assume the highest damage variation unless otherwise stated.

cS starter
Combo	Position	Damage	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
c.S > f.S > 3H	Anywhere	79	Everyone	Very Easy	2 Summons or 1 Summon and 1 Organ after knockdown.
c.S > 2H(7) > 214S > 66 j.K > j.S > DJC > j.S j.H > j.4D	midscreen	208	Everyone	Easy
c.S > 6P > 6H(1) > IAD > j.S > j.H > j.4D	midscreen	152	Everyone	Medium
c.S > 5H(3) > 214S > j.S > DJC > j.S j.H > j.4D	midscreen	175	Everyone	Very Easy
c.S > 6H(2) > 214S > Blitz Attack > 66 j.K > j.S > DJC > j.S j.H > j.4D	corner	213	Everyone	Medium	Against Baiken and May, a dash is required before c.S.

6P is an anti-air in the vein of Sol's 6P. It's more of a counterpoke tool, but it's good to know some corner combos for her.

6P starter
Combo	Position	Damage	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
CH 6P > 6H(2) > 22P/K/S/H	Midscreen	96	Everyone	Easy	A combo that serves to safely set up a Ghost or deploy an organ.
6P > c.S (JI) > 6H(2) > hj.K > jc j.S > djc j.S > j.214S > dash j.K > j.S > djc j.S > j.H(2) > j.4D	Corner	207	Everyone except Slayer	Medium
6P > 6H(2) > jc j.S > djc j.S > j.H(2) > j.4D	Corner	183	Everyone	Very Easy	Learn this one.
6P > 6H(1) > jc j.S > djc j.S > j.H(2) > j.4D	Midscreen	140 (?)	Everyone except Slayer	Easy

2S is a notable anti-air.

2S starter
Combo	Position	Damage	Tension Gain	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
AA CH 2S > (jc, land OR dash) c.S > 6H(1) > jc j.S > djc j.S > j.H(2) > j.4D	Midscreen	153		Everyone	Easy	Important anti-air combo. Because of the direction that CH 2S sends, you can do a full jump cancel and land as a hitconfirm.
AA 2S > jc > j.S > djc j.S > j.H(2) > j.4D	Midscreen	135		Everyone	Very Easy	Important anti-air combo, this time without the counter hit.

6D isn't a move you'll be hitting without Servants a lot, but learning to connect it into your air combo can be useful.

6D starter
Combo	Position	Damage	Works on:	Difficulty	Notes
6D > dash > c.S > jc j.S > djc j.S > j.H(2) > j.4D	Corner	150	Everyone	Medium	Link is particularly tight on I-No and Raven
6D > 5P > j.K > j.4D	Midscreen	102	SO AX KU	Very Hard
6D > 5P > j.K > j.K	Midscreen	110	AX KU	Very Hard	Mostly useless in normal play
6D > f.S > 4D	Midscreen	101	PO FA KU	Hard

Combo Theory

(Note: The following listings may differ depending on an opponent’s wakeup timing)

Common Enders:

   3H – 1 Summon/Organ and a grounded meaty
   2H – 2 Summon/Organ and a grounded meaty
   Low to ground 4D – 1 Summon/Organ and grounded meaty
   High in the air 4D – 2 Summon/Organ or 1 and a grounded meaty

General combo theory:

You'll do a lot of staggering with things like 2K > f.S > 3H, and luckily, that all happens to combo on hit.

Jack-O' wants to end her combos on the ground in 2H or 3H. You can connect into 3H with f.S at MOST ranges.

You want to spend a lot of your time spacing out your 3H so that it combos out of f.S if it hits.

In the air, her combo is j.S > djc j.S > j.H (2) > j.4D. There's very few exceptions to this. You can combo into this from 6P > 6H (1) midscreen, 2S as an anti-air or counterhit anywhere, 6P > 6H (2) in the corner, as an air to air, 214S (Calvados), CH 6H (2nd hit only and also a high connect, on a low connect you can get j.S > j.H (2) > j.4D).

2K combos into itself on counter hit. 2K is a useful move for staggering and frametrapping.

Once you've got a ton of minions on the screen and they're all hitting away, usually the only way to do a stable combo is to mash a lot of 5P, try to get a 3H in so that the opponent is launched, then keep mashing 5P. Eventually, if you manage to connect in a j.S or j.H, you should be able to hit a j.4D to throw them away from you.
