The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Combos

Heidern's combos are very spacing dependent you can gain damage depending on spacing, you can also "fix" combos by reversing an input or dashing slightly.

A couple useful input tricks for performing Heidern combos:

1. 2147C > 236D

This is very useful for cancelling [2]8C into 214236D, practice this.

2. 632146A > 214C/236D

Useful for cancelling 623A into 214214A/C or 214236D, practice this too!

NOTE: Any place where you can do cl.D > 6B(1) > 623A can be replaced with cl.D > 6B(1) > [2]8C for more damage and stun but the window is very tight.

1 Bar

Heidern's 1 bar combos are inefficient compared to 1.5 bar routes or even 0.5 bar routes.. Killing is always worth though.

j. C > cl. D > 6B (1) > [2]8C > 2141236K 406 260 1.0 0.3 Anywhere You can give yourself slightly more time to charge the [2]8C by cancelling the second hit of 5C into the 6B as early as possible. Still a tight window
CD > 214D > 214214P > 623A > 63214C 229 220 1.0 0.5 Midscreen Harder blowback combo with side-switch but better meter gain.
