Thanks again Slayer of Gods!!!

@SlayerOfGods
Your basic rotation for CGR continues to rock!!!!!!!!

5th level of side quest, all opponents up to Strange were 1 rotation done.
I had a harder time on the 4th level using other champs.

For those that don't know: Parry Heavy, Parry MLLLL, Parry MLLLM and immediately go into SP2 = power locked insta-death.

At rank 5 you don’t need 1 point in petrify to pull this off?

If I were you I'd use the other rotation. The amplify from the heavy is useless if you just use it randomly. MLLLL, MLLLLM, heavy sp2 would do a lot more damage, like Slayer already showed

Glad it's working out for you, @Denslo500. Thanks for the kind words!

For clarity: the Petrify Mastery is to reduce the opponents power, it doesn't interact with CGR's power.

That said, you probably do still need R1 Petrify if the opponent is R5, due to base combat power rate.

That's... not true lol.

Aptitude only increases CGR's Sp2 damage by about 6%. And Aptitude will enhance the Cruelty buff if they were ever active at the same time, and for the rest of that specific Cruelty buffs duration - the increased potency won't actually go away when Aptitude expires. I did the math in this video: https://youtu.be/tQeYevV6n2Q

Also, why would you use MLLLL before MLLLM in this kind of Rotation if you aren't starting with a heavy? You won't reach Sp2 in 2 combos and before the opponent can launch a Special, if you're doing it that way.

If your CGR is Rank 3 or higher, you will have enough base combat power rate to do Heavy, MLLLL, MLLLM, Sp2, and you should always start fights with that, imo.

The only time I would ever use MLLLM, MLLLL, Parry, Heavy cancel into Sp2 is if my CGR was under Rank 3 or if I was worried the opponent would Evade my Special, like Daredevil (Classic), who has a 100% chance to Evade projectiles at max Sig.

TL;DR: if your CGR is R3 or higher, use the following combo strings:

Parry, Heavy, MLLLL, MLLLM, immediately launch Sp2.

Once Judgements reset, THEN use MLLLM, MLLLL, Parry, Heavy cancel into Sp2.
