Vessel combos
- BaseDamage42.5
M1 + Cursed Strikes + 3 M1s + Crushing Blow
A simple, unevadable combo; using Cursed Strikes after the first M1 gives the highest true damage possible (chaining excluded).
- BaseDamage63.5 - 89.5
3 M1s Uppercut + Crushing Blow + Cursed Strikes + 3 M1s + Divergent Fist (Black Flash Chain)
Crushing Blow's bounce lets Cursed Strikes catch the enemy for an M1 reset, followed by a chain for maximum damage.
- BaseDamage71.5 - 74.5
3 M1s Uppercut + Divergent Fist (Black Flash) + Cursed Strikes + 3 M1s Downslam + Crushing Blow + 3 M1s Downslam
Cursed Strikes' hitbox often grabs enemies on wakeup, giving an M1 reset so Crushing Blow's air ragdoll can land a regular M1 and a true downslam.
- AwakeningDamage89.9
4 M1s + Dismantle + 3 M1s + Cleave + Rush
- AwakeningDamage80
Open + Rush + Dismantle (Air Variant)
Be careful with the timing of Rush after Open.
- AwakeningDamage98.5
3 M1 + Cleave + Side Dash + Dismantle + 3 M1s + Rush
Potentially a one-shot combo if you add a Front Dash.
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
- Simple combos with moves that flow together can reach high damage.
- Every move, or its variant, breaks block, bypasses ragdoll and damages domains, except Manji Kick.
- Cursed Strikes is an effective true combo extender, and its variant can finish enemies or bait counters and ragdoll cancels when paired with Combat Instincts.
- Feinting is free: it needs no Awakening meter (though it uses some if available) and has a short cooldown.
- Strong in close combat thanks to passives in both base and Awakening, either winning most M1 trades or keeping enemies away with ranged slashes.
- Open, Rush and aerial Dismantle make up for the lack of range of the base moveset while awakened.
- Very tough to take down when awakened, thanks to long M1s and a large heal on activation.
- Malevolent Shrine puts heavy pressure on enemies by eating away at their health and is nearly inescapable.
Cons
- All base moves are melee: they lack range, can be countered, mostly work only when confirmed off M1s, and ragdoll cancels can punish them on landing.
- 85 max HP, which is lower than most characters.
- Feinting moves for mobility can be punished and interrupted if done predictably.
- Chaining Black Flashes is inconsistent and usually only works on opponents with high ping or slow reactions.
- Open is easy to dodge in wide spaces.
- World Cutting Slash has a long startup and cooldown, so a prepared opponent can cancel or dodge it.
About Vessel
Vessel was the second character ever added to Jujutsu Shenanigans, and it adapts Yuji Itadori, with Ryomen Sukuna taking over in the awakening. It is free, available since V1.00, and has 85 HP, lower than most of the roster.
The base moveset is entirely melee, built around combos that flow together. Combat Instincts has a 2 second cooldown and cancels a move's windup without endlag. Cursed Strikes (17.5 damage, 14 seconds) is the true combo extender, Crushing Blow does 12 with two slams, Divergent Fist deals 10 and can turn into a Black Flash for 20 on an interruption, and Manji Kick (8.5) is a counter stance with a 0.6 second window.
King of Curses heals 45 HP and lasts 60 seconds, replacing the set with Shrine, whose M1s have triple range (24 studs). Dismantle hits for 17.5, Open for 30 on a 40 second cooldown, and Rush for 25. Malevolent Shrine, on 120 seconds, slashes for 2 per hit across 18 seconds. Combining Rush, Open and Cleave with Dismantle opens World Cutting Slash for 80. The wiki lists the downsides: no range in base, predictable feints get punished, Black Flash chains are inconsistent, and the slash has a long startup.
