Well usually its the spammable skills that you make combo cards for like AR or mag or even hail storm. But the hard part is actually getting all of those on one card, it gets progressively more difficult to get the same skill after you already have a few. You want to start with a 6 step one and then move from there, that will normally cost you around 20~50k nx already. Getting all 6 or 5/6 the same skill will most likely cost you 100k+, so its not very cheap...

The 20-50k nx is for finding a combo card with high modifers for slot 6 and 2, correct?
Or is the chance of obtaining a 6 slot combo card low?

The chance of obtaining the actual 6 slot combo card is low, ull end up with a ton of 2~5 slots before u get a 6. Just a rough estimate but thats how much i spent before getting the 6 slot.

Do the %'s change when you reroll a slot? or do they stick and just change what skill is required?

Yes, the % gets rerolled as well as the skill.

Yep the % gets messed with as well, so not only can u spend 100k+ nx trying to get that skill you could end up with a horribly low roll making it almost worthless anyways.... This happened a couple times for me, I ended up rolling over mag a couple times because the % increase was not worth it over something like a gold sniping combo card.

How expensive might it be to make something like a 2-3 slot card with magnums and maybe a windmill or crash shot?

My understanding is that the shorter cards will generally have lower percentages, but eben a moderate card that could be used all the time seems like it would be helpful.

I dont really know, honestly if you have a gold sniping card everything else is worthless unless its a 6 slot.

Here is an excellent picture that contains info on the subject.

Here is the best way to get 6x of a single skill:

1. Spam til you get a 6 slot card
2. Reroll the skills until all of them are in a talent/skillset that is NOT what you are aiming for, so if you're going for an archer card, get magic skills for example.
3. Start rolling for your skills one at a time, in this order: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1.

I thought about it a lot and that would be the best way to get a nicely rolled card spamming a single type of skill. You want to save the first slot for last since by that point you'll have the lowest chance of getting the same skill again, so it'll be nice to not have to reroll it and only land the skill.
