A "Combo" in Dungeon Defenders 2 has two phases, the starter and the finisher.

===Combo Start===
+
<div id="Water">
−
The "start" of the combo is started by either a Hero [[:Category:Defense|Defense]] or Hero [[:Category:Ability|Ability]] that applies a special debuff of some sort. This debuff has its own, separate properties. Certain [[Environmental Traps]] can also be used to start certain combos.

===Combo Finish===
+
<div id="Frost">

The "Finish" of the combo is instigated by a special elemental effect taken by an enemy. These "Finisher's" do not apply debuffs themselves, it is simply dealing damage that activates the combo. This means that attacks that deal "Storm" damage can Electrocute enemies that are Drenched, and attacks that deal "Fire" damage can ignite Oiled enemies.  Elemental Bonus Damage on [[:Category:Weapons|Weapons]] can apply theses special elemental effects too, as can some [[Environmental Trap]]s (such as from Falling).

It should be noted that the finishers "Fire" and "Storm" simply refer to the damage dealt to the target with the Combo Beginner. It doesn't matter if it's from a tower or a hero.
