What combos do you use?

When you play PSIV, which of the combination attacks do you often use, if any? Which ones do you avoid?

I try to pull of GrandCross and Shooting Star when I can. I almost never use Destruct, because the 999 damage limit seems less powerful than the individual attacks after a certain point.

Triblaster throughout the majority of the beginning, other then that I use Grandcross whenever I feel like using a combo with Chaz and Rune, or if I use the attacks and they combine by accident. I can't remember the name of the one Chaz and Demi do but I like using it against a group of enemies every once in awhile.

I use most of them in a normal playthrough.

Triblaster, Firestorm, and Blizzard at various points in the beginning, depending on who has the most TP to spare.
Grandcross starting at the Air Castle and through the point where I get Elsydeon.
Shootingstar whenever Rune or Kyra are free to pair with Wren for a turn.
Silentwave, Circuitbreaker, and Conductthunder in a few machine battles (3x Dominator and whatnot).
Paladinblow if I take Hahn in the endgame (which I usually do).
Black Hole, Holocaust, Purifylight if I feel like powerleveling at the endgame (which I usually don't).

The only two that I never really use are Lethalimage and Destruct. I usually lose Alys before she learns Death, and the latter just isn't worth the cost.

One thing that hit me in a recent playthrough is that Grandcross is actually pointless once you have Elsydeon. The entire point of using Grandcross is that it gives Chaz access to Efess' holy elemental damage, but the Elsydeon is already affiliated with that element to begin with, so an Elsydeon Crosscut + Rune's Efess does just as much damage individually as they do combined.

I tend to use mainly just three. Grandcross, Blizzard and Firestorm. Sometimes I'll use Triblaster. I never really bothered witht he other ones, more or less I just stuck to the ones I learned myself.
