Disco Momentum is a resource exclusively available to Disco Bandits and affects several of their skills. It replaced the Disco Combo system, which has now been removed from the game.

Basics
Only Disco Bandits with the passive skill Disco State of Mind can generate Disco Momentum. Momentum starts at zero with each combat. If you are wearing a porcelain pelerine, you gain one point of Momentum at the start of the combat. When you do a dance move, you gain a point of Momentum for the remainder of the current combat. The only skills that build Momentum are Disco Dance of Doom, Disco Dance II: Electric Boogaloo, and Disco Dance 3: Back in the Habit, and they can be used only once each per combat. However, even if you use all four sources of Disco Momentum, the total amount is capped at 3.
Each point of Momentum increases the damage and deleveling done by Disco Dances. Other Disco Bandit combat skills also gain additional damage and/or deleveling. Other Disco Bandit passive skills add additional bonuses for each point of Momentum, as detailed in the table below.
Momentum points are indicated by a disco ball image which appears at the top of the combat page. Mousing over the image displays a tooltip with the current Momentum points and the passive benefits it is currently granting, if any.
