	If you delay each hit of your normal attack combo slightly, it is possible for the enemy's knockdown gauge to recover slightly, allowing one additional hit, commonly referred to as "N+1". You can also use fast-loading skills such as Stomp or Windmill to extend or finish the normal attack combo, referred to as "N+WM". It is risky to use against enemies with heavy stander, but N+WM is very effective in multi-aggro situations.

	A giant-exclusive alternative to smashmill. As giants can wield a 2H sword with a guard cylinder, it is effective to use Smash and Flameburst in a similar fashion to smashmill. As a human, one can use an offhand weapon such as a Francisca, however the damage will be considerably lower. You can also gear swap to a 2 handed weapon for smash if you are using a cylinder + guard cylinder combo, however this requires very low latency. This is useful as there is no chance of causing a bounce, reducing the difficulty of execution, and you will not incur the HP cost of Windmill.		A giant-exclusive alternative to smashmill.
