Kunoichi Awakening
PvE Combo Guide
Kunoichi Awakening
Awakening Kunoichi does well at every grind spot. So far there is no grind spot where the class struggles.
Simple PvE Combo
- A/D+LMB
Half Moon Slash+10% Attack Speed - Space
Halo+24 AP - Shift+F
Lunatic DiscusMain DP debuff - LMB
Flow: Pinwheel FuryBig AoE - F
Chain Crash: Sah ChakramBig AoE - S+LMB
Sah Spree of SonanLet the uppercut finish - S+E
Moon StormSecondary DP debuff - Shift+LMB
Lethal Spin Spree - Hold LMB
Flow: Indignation - W+RMB
Lunar Dash+24 Evasion - Hold RMB
Flow: Chakram Rise - Shift+RMB
Wheel of Wrath
This is the base combo the others build on. Use it as is at spots where the pack dies before you need to extend.
Infinite PvE Combo
- A/D+LMBHalf Moon SlashFull Simple PvE Combo first
- Hotbar
Ninjutsu: Ankle Splitter - F
Hidden Dagger JutsuThen repeat from the start
Most Awakening skills have cooldowns of about 8 seconds, so after the Simple PvE Combo your main skills are not back yet. A filler pair covers that gap, and by the time it ends you can start the combo again. Juggling these cooldowns gives you a loop that never stops.
Short Combos (Fillers)
Best Filler
- HotbarNinjutsu: Ankle SplitterHighest damage
- FHidden Dagger Jutsu
Always use this pair first. Ankle Splitter roots you in place, so watch out for mobs hitting you during the animation.
Backup Filler: Sinew Cut
- W+Q
Tendon Cutter - Hotbar
Ninjutsu: Sinew Cut
Backup Filler: Heart Snatch
- W+QTendon Cutter
- Hotbar
Ninjutsu: Heart Snatch
Only use these two when Ankle Splitter and Hidden Dagger Jutsu are both on cooldown. They also help you get behind mobs for back attacks.
Lazy Combo
- Hold LMBHalf Moon SlashKeep holding until Lunar Dash
- SpaceHaloSpam off cooldown
- S+LMBSah Spree of SonanSpam off cooldown
You can hold LMB through the combo until you reach Lunar Dash. After that, spam Halo and Sah Spree of Sonan whenever they are off cooldown to finish off the mobs. Both still do decent damage.
PvE Combo Guide
DPS Priority List
There is no strict priority, because every skill here is built around 8-second cooldowns. Use them in this order.

- W+QTendon Cutter
- W+RMBLunar Dash
- S+RMB
Danse Macabre - W+E
Penumbral Blade - S+E
Shadow Stomp
Use whichever of these is off cooldown. There is no fixed order: it depends on your leftover cooldowns and the grind spot.
Reposition for Back Attacks
- Shift+A/S/D
Ghost Step - Shift+A/S/D
Ninja Evasion - A/D+LMBHalf Moon Slash
- Shift+Q
Flow: Block Jump
Your rabam skills (Ninjutsu: Sinew Cut and Ninjutsu: Heart Snatch) also get you behind mobs, and at some spots Hidden Dagger Jutsu works too.
