Okay, I want to talk about the last time I suggested the Skateboard/Sword deal.....it's not for combat....it's for unpredictability, rather. I mean, if you have that, your enemies will first expect you to be unarmed. So, when they ambush you, thinking you have no weapon, well then, SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS, I GOT A SWORD!!!! Fight me!!!

And that's probably my scenario. Same goes with the Hoverboard/Claymore deal too.

Not for combos, but for surprise......just don't use it too much.....it can get predictable....especially when they research you....or something......like that......

Also, Afro/Cannon. The issue with the "unpredictability factor" is that in a environment like RWBY, everyone should be pretty much always be on their guard for this kind of thing. Of course, if you're like Yang in the Yellow trailer and are the attacker, then the situation would be different. Also, I doubt that you'd gain any usable advantage against a skilled combatant trained in the art of combat. In addition, the surprise factor would only work in certain environments, since I'd be quite suspicious if I saw a skateboard in a dense forest.

And regarding the Afro/Cannon combo, have fun with your broken neck! :P
