Some skills leverage Inner Ways and Attunements for priority, such as adding Tenacity to said skill etc; however, several are still being implemented and may be missing. Ongoing testing is in progress for all synergistic additions.

How Combat Priority Works
To win, your Stagger (S) must be higher than their Defense (D), while your Defense holds against their Stagger.
Victory: Martial Art (S:2, D:1) vs Light Attack (S:1, D:0) = Win (Stagger beats Defense and Defense holds against Stagger)
If both players break through defense (Stagger is greater than Defense for both), you get Both Staggered. In this state, whoever casts the ability first wins the trade; however, high Ping can cause variations.
