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.

Standard heavy starter, works from a jump-in. cl.C with no 6A can be slightly more optimal in longer combos due to scaling.

Most damaging combo starter. Never works from a jump-in, so reverse for punishes.

You can link a far C after a 236C hit. Remember that a lot of Kula's specials, notably her 214K specials, whiff on max distance far C.

236AC crumple combo. Very similar to your light confirm combo, doing just a few more points of damage.
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.

Corner
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.

Non-Corner
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.
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.
1st Character. cl.C can be used after the Quick Max for consistency. You can input 623C > 2141236CD as 632146C > 236CD for a shortcut. Otherwise perform 623C as early as possible and hold C to give yourself more time to input the Climax.
2nd Character. Delay the cancel into Climax slightly to ensure both hits of 236236B/D connect. You also must input the Climax in reverse. 236236A/C works fine too if the cancel is awkward for you.
