Black Beacon Combat Mechanics: Combo, Skill Synergy, and Tactics Explained

Black Beacon’s combat depth comes from real-time combos, skill rotations, elemental synergy, and tactical swaps. Mastering these mechanics will help you dominate every mode as both F2P and whale. Here’s the 2025 Ultimategacha.com guide on core mechanics, optimal tactics, and meta combos.

Core Combat Mechanics

• Combo Meter:
  • Build up combos with consecutive hits; higher combo chains fill your Ultimate meter and trigger faster skill recharges.
  • Aggressive chaining is rewarded: each enemy hit may activate bonus effects or unlock anomaly procs.​
• Skill Rotation:
  • Every character has Basic Attack, Skill 1, Skill 2, Ultimate, and Passive.​
  • Rotate through normal and skill attacks to maximize buffs/debuffs, quickly refill Vigor (energy bar), and keep cooldowns cycling.​
• Double-Dodge & Perfect Dodge:
  • Dodge twice in succession, with a short cooldown.
  • Perfect Dodge (timed exactly) grants invulnerability and a counter window for instant retaliation.​
• Interrupts & Heavy Attack:
  • Heavy Attacks (hold attack button) interrupt most enemy skills (“Killing Moves”).
  • Use skills or heavy attacks to break mob and boss attacks unless they glow red (uninterruptible, must dodge).​
• Passive & Assist Skills:
  • Passive abilities activate on swap or as triggers during combos, buffing teammates or debuffing foes.
  • Assist skills (off-field effects) create synergy between DPS, support, and breaker classes.​

Skill Synergy & Elemental Combos

• Team Synergy:
  • Florence (AoE DPS): Stacks ATK and Crit buffs from Zero/Logos, spams skill for DEF-ignoring DoT. Set up elemental anomaly chain with support units to maximize damage.​
  • Li Chi (Burst): Build Battle Will through combos, use ultimate to finish grouped bosses. Synergizes with support shields/heals for longer uptime.
  • Zero (Buffer): Start with her skill to buff team; swap in DPS for powered-up ultimates. Shields and Crit buffs sustain rotations.​
• Elemental Anomaly:
  • Fill anomaly meters with matching element attacks (Fire, Thunder, Water, Light, Dark). Trigger anomaly for special damage or effects.​
  • Overload (Combo Burst): Inflict two anomalies in five seconds for explosive burst damage, lowering enemy Tenacity and spiking team DPS by 1.5x.​

Tactical Play & Meta Rotations

• Meta Skill Rotation Example:
  1. Start with support skills (Zero buffs).
  2. Swap to Breaker (Logos) and apply DEF shred/notes.
  3. Swap in DPS (Florence, Li Chi) for ultimate burst chain.
  4. Always use perfect dodges and interrupt skills to maintain combo meter.​
• Timing/Positioning:
  • Engage mobs grouped together for optimal AoE; use dodge timing to avoid heavy attacks and instantly punish with combo starters.
  • Switch characters mid-ultimate animation for continuous damage and maximum stacking buffs.​
