🎮 Solace Quinque Moveset Breakdown

Key	Move Name	Effect

🔵 Flame Bar System

• Charges via M1s in Dagger mode
• Once full, press Y to switch into Bow Mode
• Bow M1s are powerful but consume Flame Bar
• Cannot charge Flame Bar via abilities—M1s only

⚔️ Combat Strategy & Tips (Solace Quinque)

🔹 Combo Potential:

• Bread-and-butter: M1 → C → M2 → Z
• Bow burst: Ignite → M1 (Bow) → X → R
• Neutral punish: Flare (Z) or Pyroclasm (C) on whiff/predict

🔹 Gameplay Flow:

1. Start in Dagger Mode and charge Flame Bar
2. Use Y to enter Bow Mode once charged
3. Unleash high-damage combos before bar runs out
4. Swap back to Dagger and repeat

💡 Use Ignite strategically. Wasting the bar too early limits your burst pressure.
