Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B*2 > 2A > 236A ~ 236P ~ P/K	197		0		Anywhere	Simple confirm into Aragami. Use the P ender for hard knockdown and the K ender for corner carry.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, 63214K	221		0		Anywhere	Old Reliable, for when you're not able to do other routes after upkicks.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, 623C	229		0		Anywhere	You'll have to run up after the upkicks to get 623C to connect. Can super cancel afterward for more damage.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D~D > 421B	181		0		Anywhere	Less damage but ends in a hard knockdown, allowing for mixups afterward.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D~D, 236A ~ 236P ~ dl.P/K	231		0		Anywhere	You need to run up after the upkicks in order to get the P ender, but for the K ender you don't have to worry about that.
f.C > 236C ~ 63214P ~ 6P ~ 623P	235		0		Anywhere	Kyo's new f.C is quite the reliable combo starter from a distance.
CD, 4214B (whiff), 236C ~ 63214P ~ dl.6P ~ 623P	221		0		Midscreen	The whiffed RED Kick makes it possible to combo into Dokugami. The dp+P ender whiffs if you don't delay f+P enough.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, 236C, 623C	274		0		Corner	Use this if you wanna end with DP. If not, refer to the below combo.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, dl.236A, 236A ~ 63214P ~ P/63214K	278/296		0		Corner	Requires you to hit the opponent with the very top of the first Aragami's hitbox in order to get the second one.

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236BD, 236D ~ D, CD (whiff), 236A ~ 236P ~ P/K	227		0.5		Anywhere	You don't need the st.CD in there, but whiff canceling it helps you time Aragami after the upkicks.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 4214BD, 236B ~ B, 236C ~ 63214P ~ 6P ~ 623P	329	300	0.5		Anywhere	Great damage for just half a bar.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 4214BD, 236B ~ B, 236A ~ 63214P ~ P/63214K	315/333	380/260	0.5		Anywhere	Hard knockdown version of the previous route for better oki.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, 236C, 623AC	317	210	0.5		Corner
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 4214BD, 236B ~ B, 236A, 623C	339	280	0.5		Corner

1 Bar

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, 2141236P	264	170	1		Anywhere	Simple route into Orochinagi.
f.C > 236C ~ 63214P > SC 236236C	311	140	1		Anywhere	f.C confirm into super.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, 63214D > SC 236236P	338	270	1		Anywhere	It is now possible to super cancel the second hit of Kyo's Kototsuki Yo (the rungrab). Hold the button briefly so that you don't whiff the super.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 4214BD, 236B ~ B, 236BD, CD (whiff) > 236A ~ 236P ~ K	345	280	1		Anywhere	Kyo's KOFXIV Max Mode BNB, now able to be done outside of Max Mode for 1 bar.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 4214BD, 236B ~ dl.B, 236C, 623AC	384	210	1		Corner	Delay the 236B followup so you can connect with 236C and have enough time to link into EX DP. If not delayed, do 236A instead.
2B > 2A > 3D(1) > 236D ~ D, dl.236A, 623C(1) > SC 2141236P, 623A	393	310	1		Corner	An easier way to cancel 623C into Orochinagi is to input 623C as 632146C, and then input 236P to get Orochinagi. If you hit the opponent with the top of 236A's hitbox, the opponent is high enough after Orochinagi (provided you didn't hold down the button) to link into 623A.
