This combo will release the new class weapon, which is the spear, along with the magic that lunges the enemy into the air before striking them down with spear. Due to the short combo and energy ball that throws enemy in mid air (making them vulnerable), Code: Exotic players tend to execute this repeatedly. To do this combo, press the arrow button twice towards your enemy to run and then press X for the magic ball, followed by Z that unleashes the spear and then repeat. (>> or <<, X, Z) Now that you're enemy is accustomed to your Spear Launcher, they will either try to attack ahead then jump into the air to avoid the energy ball.

Once hit, the enemy will be thrown in the air where they become vulnerable for another set of combo. (Z, Z, Z, Down, Z, Z).
