--------------------------------
Notes in no particular order:
If you think I got anything wrong, please let me know so I can correct it!
Almost (if not all) every combo with spikes and tornado can be done with aerial barrage instead. They'll do less damage, but cycle more quickly. There are lots of situations where these will let you dodge attacks
These are NOT all possible combos! I included which ones I -arbitrarily- thought were worth mentioning. Either way, you shouldn't make a habit of locking into any one of these; just know these are possible and use whatever you think fit the situation best!
I decided to include as few BA comparisons in the video as possible. Because your own damage will vary based on your skill levels, I wanted to avoid making potentially false assertions. However, I'll still leave my BAs somewhere below in case you'd like to compare mine with your own (Note: you should only compare these BAs w/ others of the same cdr)
I tried to use the same setup for every BA: Pre-debuffed w/ Wrath/Unicorn/Spikes, start every BA with 1 shot Isthar, no summons, no Fatal, no conditional link skills. For combos w/o a specific debuff skill, I used them once at the start of the BA. For combos that become skill locked from being stationary too long, I used nimble flight before Wrath. More on my BAs later
CDR lines are (probably) calculated individually. TL;DR a 2s line is (probably) slightly better than two 1s lines
My CDR lines:
1s) 1x 1sec line
2s) 1x 2sec line
3s) 1x 1sec line, 1x 2sec line
4s) 2x 1sec lines, 1x 2sec line
5s) 1x 1sec line, 2x 2sec lines
6s) 2x 1sec lines, 2x 2sec lines
Spaced and I both had the same lines to get 6s. I used a 5s hat + wings of fate, while Spaced had a 6s hat
It's possible that the 6s combo will work more smoothly with 3 2sec lines
For the 2-6s combos, it's possible that intervals for enhanced wrath will vary based on your cdr lines. However, I'm pretty sure most (if not all) will be the same

BAs:
0s) Standard combo 1 - 21.358T | Standard 2 - 21.220T | AB - 22.682T | AB w/ Spikes - 21.075T | AB w/ only enhanced Spikes - 22.549T | LE 1 - 20.455T | LE 2 - 18.566T | Ishtar vs AB (had different stats from first AB BA) - 24.138T v 23.896T

1s) Standard 1 vs Standard 2 - 19.241T v 19.355T (Note: higher 2nd hexa level seemed to skew BA in favor of Standard 2) | AB - 20.393T

2s) 2sec combo - 22.935T | AB no LT - 21.185T (scuffed, should be ~5% higher) | AB - I think I accidentally deleted it... | LE - 19.339T | Standard 1 - 20.509T | Standard 2 - 20.476T | Ishtar vs 2sec (had different stats from 1st 2sec BA) - 22.646T v 24.001T

3s) shorter Standard 2 - 18.433T | Normal Standard 2 - I somehow forgot to record, sorry

4s) 2sec Normal vs Desynced - 24.503T v 24.235T

5s) 5sec w/ Tornado - 24.982T | 5sec w/ Spikes - 24.123T | AB Normal - 23.033T | AB w/ no Unicorn - 22.943T | 3sec AB w/ no Tornado (not in video) - 22.857T | 5sec LE - 21.715T | Ishtar vs 2sec vs 5sec (had different stats from first 5sec BA) - 24.480T v 25.524T v 26.281T (25.413 w/ Spikes)

6s) 6sec (delayed inputs) - 8.785T (20 sec) | 5sec - 8.911T (20 sec) | 6s vs 5s (1AS, 1 min) - 21.689T v 20.819T

Note: I tried to be thorough and re-take every BA until I got one without a mistake. However, it's still very possible I messed up somewhere. As such, take all numbers with appropriate skepticism. Thank you!
