A typical and effective combo for Hirara involves utilizing her mobility to initiate and her burst damage to secure an elimination. Imagine an enemy Marksman is slightly out of position in a lane or near a jungle camp. First, use your Skill 1, Meisen-e, to dash towards the target, closing the distance rapidly. This initial dash places you in an advantageous position to follow up. Immediately after the first dash, drag your Meisen-e skill icon onto your Skill 2, Kaerazu, to cast a combo skill. This will unleash Kaerazu's fan-shaped attack, dealing its initial damage. Crucially, anticipate the enemy's movement after the first hit to ensure they remain within the area for Kaerazu's delayed second hit, which deals double the initial damage. This combination of Meisen-e into a combo Kaerazu consumes one unit of your Crimson / Death Energy.
After delivering this potent burst, you have options. If the enemy is eliminated or critically low, you can use your second charge of Meisen-e to dash away to safety, reposition for another target, or pursue a fleeing foe. If the enemy is still alive but low, a quick basic attack might finish them off. Remember that consuming energy interrupts its recovery, so be mindful of your remaining energy and Meisen-e's cooldown before committing to another combo or prolonged engagement. This sequence maximizes your burst damage while utilizing your mobility for both engagement and escape, embodying Hirara's assassin playstyle.
