Lollipop Chainsaw RePOPis all about hacking and slashing zombies as effectively as possible to complete levels and earn zombie medals to spend in the Chop2Shop. Knowing the best combo moves to take out as many zombies as possible is crucial, especially for those wanting to rack up as many medals as they can via the Sparkle Hunting mechanic.
With this in mind, here’s a look at some of the best combo moves inLollipop Chainsaw RePOP, so players can slay zombies in style while collecting those medals.
8Pom-Pom Bash/Cheerleader Chain
Peppy Cheerleading To Stun Zombies
Pom-Pom Bash is a default skill for Juliet that doesn’t need to be purchased in the shop. Juliet takes out her cheerleading pom poms and hits zombies with them. The pom poms don’t do much damage, but they can stun and knock zombies away, allowing Juliet to escape if she is surrounded.
Pom-Pom Bash can stungroups of zombiesat a time if timed right, setting Juliet up for some high Sparkle Hunting scores if she can take out all the groggy zombies at once. The move becomes a lot more powerful when the Homing Sneakers and Power Dumbbells upgrades are bought in the shop, as the upgrades allow Juliet to weaken zombies much faster and navigate from zombie to zombie more precisely.
Players can also purchase the Cheerleader Chain ability for 100 gold zombie medals in the Chop2Shop. The Cheerleader Chain extends Pom-Pom Bash and weakens zombies even more so. The move ends with Juliet performing an impressive jump split kick that can push zombies away from her. Cheerleader Chain is a must, as it significantly ups the ante of Pom-Pom Bash.
When paired with the Power Dumbbells and Homing Sneaker upgrades, Pom-Pom Bash and Cheerleader Chain become unstoppable zombie-stunning moves that can set Juliet up for some killer zombie slaughtering combos.
7Chainsaw Drill
Evasive and Damaging
As the name suggests, Juliet’s Chainsaw Drill attack allows her to charge forward with her chainsaw in a drill-like motion. Not only does this do a fair amount of damage to any zombies unlucky enough to be caught in her path, but it is also a great way to escape if Juliet is surrounded.
When using the Chainsaw Drill combo, Juliet swings her chainsaw a few times before diving forward, drilling into zombies in the way. The forward-thrusting motion pushes Juliet forward, giving her some space from encroaching zombies.
The attack’s damage and strike area are pretty limiting, but for players who find themselves gettingpinned in by zombiesmore often than they would like, Chainsaw Drill is a great move to invest in.
6Dropkick
Zombie Kicking Fun
Dropkick is another move that is used to get zombies out of the way and potentially stun them. Juliet jumps into the air and performs a strong double kick that can push zombies back. This is a great way to deal withparticularly dangerous zombiesthat are coming towards Juliet quickly, particularly suicide zombies that have dynamite strapped to them or police zombies that can drain Juliet’s health quickly with their gunfire.
However, there is a small issue with the Dropkick move. If players don’t hit their target, Juliet falls to the ground prone for a moment, leaving her open to attack. That being said, it can be quite difficult to miss when using Dropkick, as the move has some homing to it, so Juliet will lock in on the target as she uses the combo.
Investing in the Homing Sneakers can make Dropkick more effective, as the three levels of the upgrade item permanently increase the distance from which Juliet can hone in on zombies.
5Chainsaw Full Swing
Fast and Deadly
Chainsaw Full Swing can only be bought in the shop after purchasing the Chainsaw Stab for 60 Gold Zombie Medals, as it is an extension of that particular move. When using the move, Juliet performs three quick punches with the aforementioned Pom-Pom Bash before jumping into the air and swinging her chainsaw in a colorful arc.
This is a move that is amazing when it comes to earning those medals from Sparkle Hunting, especially when timed right. The combo is powerful and swift, dealing a huge chunk of damage to any zombies in the vicinity. The strike area is also relatively wide, so Juliet can hit numerous enemies at once.
4Armadillo Spin
A Dizzying Finisher
Despite only costing 120 gold medals in the shop, the Armadillo Spin is a particularly powerful move that is one of the best in the game. Juliet lashes out with two lower chainsaw strikes before jumping into the air and somersaulting into a spin move. As she spins, Juliet chops all zombies close to her.
As well as being a visually striking move, Armadillo Spin is a fabulous finisher thanks to consisting only of chainsaw strikes. It’s a particularly effective move when used on a group of zombies that are crowded together tightly, as Juliet can mow them down with the spinning element of the ability.
Juliet also moves forward when she uses the Armadillo Spin, making it useful forescaping from a zombie crowdwhile also doing significant damage. Armadillo Spin has huge potential for evasion, Sparkle Hunting, and causing heaps of damage, making it a versatile combo.
3Holy Chainsaw
Expensive, But Worth It
The Holy Chainsaw move is the most powerful in the game, but it is also the most expensive. Players have to buy the Chainsaw Paradise move for 180 gold zombie medals before they can unlock Holy Chainsaw, so all in all, it’s a costly move set of more that sets players back by over 1,000 gold medals. However, the strength of the move makes it well worth the investment.
Juliet begins the skill by lashing out with her Pom-Pom Bash. She then performs handstands while swinging her chainsaw around in circles close to the ground. The move ends with her flipping upwards and bringing her chainsaw back down to deal some heavy damage to the zombies in range.
This move is the most powerful in Juliet’s repertoire and can make for plenty of successful Sparkle Hunting multi-kills. Holy Chainsaw is a must for those looking to dish out some huge damage to zombies, as not only is it a particularly devastating skill, but it also has impressive range and damage.
2Maelstrom Spin
Low Slashes That Remove Limbs
Next is a move that is incredibly useful for tactical plays against zombies, as it involves low slashes that can cripple zombies by taking out their legs.
When using the move, Juliet crouches low to the ground and swings her chainsaw in a circular motion. She moves forward as she does too, allowing her to cover more ground while increasing her reach. The move ends with Juliet jumping up from her crouched position, striking any nearby zombies in the process.
This is one of the most helpful moves in the game, as it covers a significant area while dealing plenty of damage. The low slashes Juliet performs can take off the legs of any zombies she hits, but it is also great to use against thesillier zombies in the gamewith no legs that crawl around. Crawling zombies can be tough to hone in on, but Maelstrom Spin allows Juliet to take them out quickly and efficiently.
Maelstrom Spin can also be used for Sparkle Hunting, as it works well against groggy, stunned zombies too. This is a move that is hugely versatile and a handy one to unlock as soon as possible thanks to its range, damage, crippling abilities, and Sparkle Hunting suitability.
1Jump Stab
An Aerial Attack That Can’t Be Beat
Topping our list for the best combo move is the Jump Stab, which is not only hugely versatile but can also make Juliet almost impossible to hit.
When using this move, Juliet leaps into the air and stabs her chainsaw down multiple times, dealing massive amounts of damage. This is useful when dealing with groups of zombies, as Juliet can hit all of them at once with her stabs.
As well as doing tons of damage, Jump Stab is a fantastic move to use in situations where Juliet needs to keep moving, such as in certain boss battles. Juliet can’t be hurt when she is in the middle of using Jump Stab, and since she is airborne while using it, she can become almost invincible for a brief window of time if the timing is right.
The move is also the best in the game as Juliet can use it to quickly jump into a fight, and then retreat just as fast. Using Jump Stab with a hit-and-run technique can make all the difference, especially in some of the boss fights, such as the challenging and sometimes infuriating Lewis boss fight.
With great escape possibilities, massive damage, and even the chance to avoid taking hits altogether (if used appropriately), Jump Stab is undoubtedly the best combo move for players to enjoy slaying zombies with inLollipop Chainsaw RePOP.
