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 > 2B > f.A
80
Fantastic low light confirm thanks to f.A's great range and good cancel routes.
j.A/B/C > f.A
63/93
Another amazing starter that combines both the speed and range of her jump-ins with the amazing range of her far A. You can pick up combos from incredibly spaced jump-ins.
f.C
70
Long and cancelable button that uses mostly the same cancels as f.A. Single hit confirmable into 214B and 214BD.
Heavy Starters
Combo
Damage
Notes
j.C/D > cl.C > 6B
176
Standard jump-in starter. 6B will whiff at some ranges even when cl.C hits. Try to recognise this spacing and opt for a different combo after cl.C. If 6B connects on block, cancel into 236B for safety. 6B may whiff in some strings leaving Isla very vulnerable.
cl.D > 6B
122
Most damaging combo starter. Use when you can in punishes. Otherwise a worse cl.C.
2C
70
Just a slightly slower cl.C. easier to confirm from thanks to being 2 Hits. Best used to confirm into a grounded special when outside of cl.C > 6B range. Does not work with any generic "Heavy Starter" combo listed below.

Low with great range. Good pressure starter if blocked. Does not low profile as much as you'd think.
(Note: 'Other Starters' won't be referenced in the 'Combos' section.)
Combos
6B Notes
6B combos from c.C, c.D, and both hits of 2C.
6B chains for a lose frame trap from c.A, c.B, 2A, f.A.
Loses to 4 frame buttons
Loses to reversals
Trades with 5 frame attacks
Beats 6 frames or slower
6B is special cancelable into all of her air specials as she is considered airborne during this move.
j.236BD is commonly used for extensions after 6B.
j.214B/D is used for hard knockdowns after 6B, is an overhead, and is generally safe on block due to pushback.
Other Notes
c.C is one frame faster than 2C or c.D and is generally recommended after jump-ins.
c.D has 10 more damage but is generally only recommended for hard punishes up close
Jump-ins add ~50 damage to the combos listed below noted by ...
