If you’re struggling to figure out how to combo in BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls, don’t worry—you’re not alone. This isn’t your average anime fighting game. There are combos, but they don’t work like Dragon Ball Fighters or Naruto Storm. Here’s a quick, no-nonsense guide to help you stop button-mashing and start combo-smashing.
Step 1: Switch to Advanced Controls (Seriously, Do It)
If you’re using Standard Controls, the game does too much for you. It auto-activates some moves like Haku Gekki (aka the flashy stuff), and that kills your combo options.
Go into settings and turn on Advanced Controls so you can actually choose when and how to use your attacks. Freedom is combo fuel.
Step 2: Learn Your Character’s Moves
Each character has their own:
Flash Attack
Special Flash Attack
Signature Move
Some also have unique tricks in their Awakened Form. Practice all these moves, learn the timing, and read the move descriptions—yes, reading helps. If you're playing someone like Rukia, take time to figure out how her stuff links together. The game will even give hints on move chaining if you look closely.
Step 3: Use HoHo (Not Just for Running Away)
HoHo is your flash step—think teleport dash.
Use it to extend combos by zipping behind enemies.
If timed right during an enemy’s attack, it counters them, opening them up for punishment.
Don’t spam it though. It drains your Reverse Gauge, and if you’re empty, you’ll get caught with your pants down.
Step 4: Make Use of the Breaker Move
Breaker = Anti-Guard Tool
Use it when enemies are blocking to smash their guard and continue your combo.
Also good for linking attacks and catching players off guard. Think of it as a combo extender and a punish tool.
Step 5: Master the Reverse Gauge (Yellow Bar Magic)
The Reverse Mechanic lets you reset your attacks and link into new combos.
In training mode, set your Reverse Gauge to infinite and just practice.
This will help you figure out how to restart your combo flow and keep pressure on opponents.
Awakened Form = Different Moves, Different Combos
Some characters change when they awaken.
Moves might behave differently or change completely.
Practice combos before and after awakening to stay effective.
Example: Rukia’s combos are easier pre-awakening, but tougher to link once she awakens.
Final Blurb
Combos in BLEACH: Rebirth of Souls are about timing, knowledge, and not spamming. Use Advanced Controls, master HoHo, and learn your character’s moves inside and out. It takes a little practice, but once you get it down, you’ll go from confused button-masher to combo master—and maybe even stop getting wrecked online. Maybe.
