Repeat 'X' input 'N' amount of times. Multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}".
Starters
Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Notes
2B > 2A/5A > ...
Standard low light confirm. You can tack on additional 5A from point blank, but 236AC can fall out if you do so.
j.X > 2A/5A > ...
It's difficult to get more than one light normal in after a jump-in, so be prepared for short confirms.
cl.D, 2A > ...
While technically not starting from a light normal, this starter results in the same enders as a "Light Starter", and so it will be counted as one for the purposes of not cluttering this page with unique cl.D > 2A routes in every category.
Heavy Starters
Combo
Damage
Notes
cl.C > ...
cl.C is the ideal heavy starter. It's her fastest heavy normal, has a long confirm window, and leads to better juggles out of 214AC when used at point blank.
cl.D > ...
cl.D has its merits. It's a low, it has a long cancel window, and it does the most damage of any of Darli's cancellable normals. Additionally, if uncancelled, it can be linked out of for a "Light Starter" ender. See "Light Starters".

Optimal damage ender. 214A does no damage and has no knockdown, and 236A is faster but does low damage. 236A/D can be an alternative, but it does similarly low damage to 236A, and is slower, making it less reliable in raw confirms. Note that Darli cannot do Heavy > Command Normal xx Special to confirm, lowering her meterless damage by quite a bit. However, her cl.C and cl.D do have generous cancel windows, meaning you can use them to confirm raw, if you've got the reaction time.

Big ol' corner route. A note about these Heavy Starter corner routes, if you're relatively close to the corner, using 236AC can be a good alternative, as it will likely carry you to the corner and will only do slightly less damage than a 214AC route.
