Scaling math causes 214B to do more damage than 214D in this combo, though the combo still works fine with 214D if you're too lazy to change up your combo structure.
Shatter Strike combo. Possible to do if the Shatter Strike hits airborne, but can be awkward. When in doubt, opt for a running 623C instead. If Kula is point blank with the opponent, 214D may not work properly. Just use a 623C in those cases as well.

Your corner combos with 214D work consistently from a Shatter in the corner.
Not the most efficient combo but is an easy way to decide to dump meter. Connecting the full damage of 236236K is possible, which would result in 347, but the timing is much more precise on the 6D delay and results in a side switch which you may not always want, so the P super is recommended.

Sets up the perfect height to get both hits of 236236K without any delay necessary.
By using an extra half bar, your midscreen Shatter Strike combos are far more consistent. From now on, you will just do your combo starting with 214BD.
If we need to use two 214BDs in a combo, arranging the 214C inbetween them will result in slightly more damage due to scaling. This is generally more difficult however, as the 6B needs to be high enough for the whole combo to work, but too early and the 6B won't hit properly. You can use the older 1 bar variant where 214C is used near the end for an easier combo.
1000/1250 Quick Max combo. Kula won't use 2 bar Quick Max often since her far normals are special cancellable anyway. Curiously this is the only Quick Max combo that gains damage by using the 6A.
1500 QM combo. Trickier than it looks, you'll have to delay the 623A enough so the super can connect, but delay too long and you'll run out of Max guage.
1000/1250 QM combo. Although the damage is lower than the midscreen variant, the meter gain and stun is much better, which could make this combo more valuable.
This is a very precise combo. 236236AC must be inputted slightly late at what seems to be the end of the cancel window for 236236B/D in order for all the hits to connect. It also must be inputted as 214214AC since Kula switches sides. Overall Kula is better off using Max mode confirms here for consistency. If you're in the corner, swap the supers.
Timing looks difficult but cancelling into 236236BD as soon as possible sets up the perfect timing for all the hits of 236236BD to connect. Causes a side switch midscreen. Optimal in the corner as well.
1000 QM combo. You can input 623C as 62146C and the Climax as 236CD. This does comparable damage to Kula's regular 3 bar combos, though the meter gain is worse.
1250/1500 QM combo. This swaps sides; if you don't want the side swap you can do 623A > 236236P instead. Kula doesn't have stronger combos with 1500 Max guage because her 214K specials cause too much scaling.

1250/1500 QM combo. One inch QM combo from anywhere. cl.C (1) into 236AC can be finicky in the heat of a match, though ending the combo early with 623AC doesnt end up unsafe. If you get both hits on cl.C you will be too far to 6A in time and should convert to a combo using 214K specials to cover yourself and get corner carry instead.
By inputting the 6D as early as possible, Kula has enough time to juggle a 6A and do a Quick Max mid juggle. Landing 623C > 236236K is possible for 5 more damage, but requires stricter timing and isn't recommended. Delaying the Climax may be necessary depending on the height you connect the 236236P.
1250/1500 QM combo. Easy, simple damage off of hop j.C pressure midscreen. Keeps inputs to a minimum to reduce scaling. Can substitute cl.D instead of cl.C after QM for 8 extra damage but timing may be finicky for people not comfortable with the run up timing.
Not very meter efficient. Note that cancelling a juggled 236236BD to Climax in the corner is finnicky. You'll need a slight delay on the Climax. The lower to the ground you hit the 623C, the easier it is.
Alternate version of the above combo, without having to get both hits on 236236K, omits 6A from the normal heavy starter to reduce scaling on the 236236P.
This combo is long enough for cl.C > 6A to reduce the damage, cl.D > 6A starter increases damage to 853.

Single hit confirm, shortens the combo to reduce scaling penalties on climax. Can be substituted with cl.C or cl.D for the same or slightly more damage respectively as a combo off of deep j.C/D hits during hop pressure. Damage increases to 848 including the jump heavy.
