covers: closes an escape while the finisher works
thicker = used by more combos
boxes = parts of the chain, in order
A combo is a chain of mechanics, each one setting up the next, that ends in a kill. Each combo here is measured against the established best trap for the same job, called the incumbent. Its edge is how far it beats that trap on lethality, on which escapes it closes (totem, pearl, water bucket…), on stealth and on cost. Novelty alone doesn't count. A combo the incumbent already matches is dropped.
Best challenger per job Rows: automatic (no attacker present) and operated (needs a second player). Click a combo to open it.
