Flesh and Blood Outsiders is a highly anticipated set for fans of the trading card game, with a release date of March 24. One of the heroes in the set is Katsu, who has received many new combos. Combos are multiple cards with a keyword combo, which effects are dependent on the card played before. This way, strong effects can be triggered, but it is also difficult to pull off a combo since you need the correct combo cards.
In this article, we will explore the new combos in the Outsiders set and highlight some of the good combos that show potential for Katsu decks. We will also provide a detailed diagram of all the combos that Katsu currently has, as well as suggest some cards to help players get the combos they need.
New Combos in the Outsiders Set
Because of the difficulty of pulling off combos, many Katsu decks tried not to rely too much on them and only have one or two potential combos in the deck. However, the newly released combos in Outsiders could potentially change that; Time will tell. Here are some of the new combos to look out for:
The Twin Twisters Combo Lines
You can play Twin Twisters into Spinning Wheel Kick or Back Heel Kick. These combos have a good potential against fatigue decks.

New Head Jab Combos
You can now play Head Jab into One-Two Punch or Recoil. These combos seem very weak and require the help of attack reactions in order to be good.

Whelming Gustwave
One of the best combos is still the Whelming Gustwave Combo, tough it is not a new combo. It pressures the opponent in order to block the attack to not let you draw cards and continue the combo.

Diagram of Katsu's Combos
To help players visualize the combos Katsu has, we have created a detailed diagram:
Cards to Help You Get Combos
In addition to the combos themselves, players may want to consider using certain cards to help them get the combos they need. Here are some suggestions:
Mask of Many Faces
Activate this card to replace a card's name with a name you need for the combo. This can help you get the exact card you need to complete a combo.
Mask of the Pouncing Lynx
If your attack hits, you can search for a card to keep up your combo, for example. This can help you keep the combo going if you don't have the cards you need in your hand.
Mask of Momentum
This card has more potential to pressure your opponent every turn. With Mask of Momentum, you can draw a card if your third attack action card in the third or higher chain link in a row hits. Even though it is guaranteed to draw into a combo, it still likely still the best choice in Katsu decks.
Conclusion
