Tekken 8 Basics Guide - Heat Combos
26This video is a guide to one of the more-than-basic elements in Tekken 8 - how Heat Mode works in combos. If you have any info, ideas, or questions please hit me up in the comments!
*In Heat Mode*
• Heat Engagers will become launchers by holding f on hit. The animation can be different, but still results in a full combo, but heavily scaled. Each character has 1 or 2 without this property.
○ Reina df+1,2 and SEN 3
○ Leo WS 4,1+2 and BOK 1+2
○ Jun 1+2
○ Kazuya db+1,2
• The other Heat Engager(s) usually result in a knockdown by holding f on hit. A full combo cannot be performed, but rather a single follow-up is usually guaranteed. Results may vary.
• Heat Engagers will have a normal behavior when f is not held on hit.
• All 5 of your Heat Engagers can be used *during* combos by holding f and will result in a juggle state, continuing the combo. Some characters may have exceptions, like King.
○ Damage scaling increases significantly form this point, so late in your combo is preferable.
○ They do not appear to add to the juggle counter.
• Heat Engagers also work in Wall combos.
○ They do not cost a hit, but scale harder.
○ The wall impact may be unpredictable at some carry distances. Post splat is usually consistent.
*Outside of Heat Mode*
• Heat Burst can be used in combos. These have monstrous hitboxes so they can land off the craziest hits.
• This will activate your Heat Mode (at 80% remaining), resulting in a 'bound state' that allows you to continue your combo.
○ Also does not appear to add to the juggle counter, but does increase damage scaling the same way as above.
• Once in Heat Mode, you can use Heat Engagers while still in the same combo, BUT they will result in a hard knockdown, instead of juggle extension.
○ That knockdown allows for one, big hit - like a stomp.
○ This tends to do high damage, as that final grounded hit is not reduced by the combo's damage scaling.
*Benefits*
• Most of the time using Heat in combos in not a *huge* benefit. Some characters may get great results, but many don't, due to extra scaling or having to use a different combo path.
○ In Heat Mode: perform combo, use Heat Engager late, finish combo normally.
○ Outside of Heat Mode: perform combo, use Heat Burst late, use Heat Engager, then final hit.
○ Wall combos appear to be optimal when just using Heat Engager, then doing the full wall combo.
The preferred usage overall is to activate Heat Mode, by using your Heat Burst attack VERY late in a combo, then finishing the combo normally. It results in nearly the same damage as the combo would have done, but now you are in Heat Mode with all the advantages. This is a reliable way active Heat, instead of waiting for the best opportunity.
