The Joker's attack, known as Blastoff, is a projectile move that can be charged. The longer you were able to charge it, the higher will be its damage and knockback upon hitting the enemy. This move is perfect for ending combos because of the increased hitbox size when enemies are trying to recover.

Similarly, the down key plus attack performs a move called Brushed And Ready. It is another chargeable move where bites inflicted directly depend on the charge made onto it.
