Black Death combos

Damage30.5
3 M1s + Festering Strikes + Chokehold
Use Chokehold while the target is hit by Festering Strikes' final swing to catch them before they can evade and trigger a hatch.
Damage78.5
3 M1s Uppercut + Festering Strikes + Detach + Roach Swarm (Special) + Chokehold + Reattach + 3 M1s Uppercut
A hatch happens during Reattach, incapacitating the target so an M1 reset can follow.
Damage118 (injury excluded)
3 M1s Uppercut + Roach Swarm (Special) + Fierce Strikes + M1 + Chokehold + Detach + Bugnado + Reattach
Time Fierce Strikes with the target's fall so its ragdoll lets the first M1 land and add injury; Reattach then pulls the target back into Bugnado.

Combos as the wiki's community lists them (move names in English, as in the game). We have not tested them.

Pros and cons

Pros

Injury damage cannot be avoided.
Chokehold can surprise opponents, while Detach pokes and pulls them into close range.
Earthen Insect Trance gives unavoidable pressure and interrupts grab moves like Honored One's Rapid Punches if ignored.
Aerial Roach Swarm is a safe gap closer with no endlag that either hits the block or forces a dash.
Eating corpses refreshes cooldowns, which helps you return to a fight quickly.
Parthenogenesis can reach very high damage, and its clones can extend combos.

Cons

Some moves have slightly long cooldowns.
Lasting damage is hard to come by.
The special's blinding looks useless because usernames stay visible, and most targets pop the insects themselves before you can engage.
Chokehold is ineffective against passive players and has a slight evasive punish window, which makes it risky to bait or end combos with.
Reattach cannot really be used as an M1 reset because it lacks true stun.
Clones are not truly autonomous and do not defend themselves when attacked.
Invading domains gives no advantage, only risking your life while wasting Awakening.

About Black Death

Kurourushi, the roach-bound special grade cursed spirit of Jujutsu Kaisen, is the basis for Black Death, a base-only character released free in V1.76 with 100 HP. It plays around damage over time instead of burst. The passive Festering Life Sword puts an injury meter on targets: each stack drains 3 damage, and at 7 stacks the eggs hatch for 14 damage and interrupt the victim. Injury damage cannot be avoided.

Festering Strikes (3 damage, 20s cooldown) applies injury through block, Detach (1 damage, 13s) pokes from up to 85 studs, and Roach Swarm (6 damage, plus 2 every 1.5 injuries up to 14, 17s) cashes the stacks in. Eating a corpse with Iron-Rich resets all cooldowns, and Parthenogenesis splits off an 80 HP clone that repeats your M1s and heals you 25 HP. The longest combo on the wiki reaches 118 damage with injury excluded, and it already includes Bugnado, which alone deals 81.

The wiki's complaints are practical: some moves have slightly long cooldowns, lasting damage is hard to find, and the clones do not defend themselves when attacked. On the site's tier list its base damage per second of cooldown is a low 0.2.
