Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – Do Higher Combos Increase Damage?

middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor

I wonder if the size of the combo meter has influence on anything if you don't have runes, which have special effect for higher combo counts. I am aware that with getting combos you can use special skills like executes, but this is not what I mean.

Combos do not directly increase your damage, but higher combos do award more experience at the end of the combat. At the end of the combat, your highest combo is multiplied by 10 and awarded as experience for Talion. There is also a Tier 5 ability that doubles your attack damage while you have a Hit Streak active.
