Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B > 2B > 5B > 3D	153	160	0	15%	Anywhere	Combo into slide. Very easy, but not optimal in any way.
2B > 2B > 5B > 623C	176	200	0	30%	Anywhere	Basic light string. Kula can't combo into much off lights without meter.
2B > 2A > 214A	98	140	0	5%	Anywhere	Much worse but is a hard knockdown and a 22C setup, which is something. Still better to use the above combo.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B > 6D, 214A/623C	273	340	0	45%	Anywhere	BNB combo. Both hits of c.D into 6A won't connect after a jump in. 214A ender gives 22C oki for less damage (228).
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214D > (delay)6B, 623C	299	380	0	50%	Corner	Requires a delay to get both hits of the 6B followup, but isn't very tough. 214A ender gives the hard knockdown but 22C oki is impossible in the corner and you still get a great knockdown from 623C, always take the damage.
5B/5C > 623C	172	170	0	30%	Anywhere	Kula's 5B and 5C are long reaching, and 623C's fast forward movement means these are pretty consistent. Not optimal but nice for whiff punishes.
236C, 214B > 6D, 214A/623C	246	220	0	45%	Anywhere	236C is very plus on hit and leaves them standing, allowing you this combo. Nice if you confirm a hit using 236C in pressure.
CD > 236C, 623C	236	240	0	40%	Corner	CD > 236C is a potentially useful blockstring, and can lead to extra damage if it hits.

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B > 2B > 5B > 214BD > (delay) 6D, 214A/623C	231	160	50%	30%	Anywhere	EX kicks off of a light confirm, nice way to get 22C oki off lows.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D, 623C	328	300	50%	48%	Anywhere	236AC crumple combo. Hard to get a 214A without sacrificing a ton of damage, plus this combo is almost zero meter making it very worth it.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214BD > (delay) 6D > 214A/623C	309	260	50%	40%	Anywhere	214BD > 6D connects if delayed in juggles unlike the meterless versions allowing you to get a 214A after. Nice damage increase from her BNB, and allows her to get 22C oki unlike the 236AC combo.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D > (delay) 6B > 623C	360	380	50%	50%	Corner	236AC extension to her corner combo. Zero on meter so if you have it use it, and good damage on top of it.
CD > 236C, 214BD ~ (delay)6B, 623C	316	240	50%	40%	Corner

1 Bar

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B > 2B > 5B > 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623AC	293	90	1	10%	Anywhere	Generally not worth it due to the lackluster meter gain, but can steal a round.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B ~ 6D, 623A > 236236A/C	379	320	1	45%	Anywhere	BNB combo with a super added, shortcut the dp super as 6236C, 236A/C.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214BD, 623C/214A	369	220	1	30%	Anywhere	Does less damage than above combo, but allows for more flexible ender options.
2B > 2B > 5B > 214BD ~ (delay)6B, 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C	318	190	1	30%	Corner
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214D ~ (delay)6B, (delay)623C > 236236B/D	397	320	1	45%	Corner	Super extension to her corner combo. The timing on getting both hits of the super can be specific. Oft for 623A > 236236A/C instead to sacrifice only 6 dmg for more consistency.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC > 214D ~ (delay)6B, 623AC	395	280	1	30%	Corner
CD > 236C, 214BD ~ (delay)6B, 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C	366	240	1	40%	Corner
236CD, 214D, 623C	229	180	1	80%	Anywhere	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.
236CD, 214D ~ (delay)6B, 623C	270	260	1	85%	Corner
2B > 2B > 5B > 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623A > 236236A/C	347	130	1.5	25%	Anywhere
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D, 623C > 236236B/D	433	260	1.5	40%	Anywhere	Sets up the perfect height to get both hits of 236236B/D without any delay necessary.
2B > 2B > 5B > 214BD ~ (delay)6B, (delay)623C > 236236B/D	353	150	1.5	25%	Corner
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D ~ (delay)6B, (delay)623C > 236236B/D	450	340	1.5	45%	Corner
236CD, 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C	290	100	1.5	70%	Anywhere

2 Bars

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
2B > 2B > 5B > 623C > 236236BD	416	150	2	25%	Non-Corner	236236BD is inconsistent in the corner, so use 236236AC when in the corner instead.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B > 6D, 623C > 236236BD	498	340	2	48%	Anywhere	Level 2 super followup. Nice and simple damage increase. Optimal in the corner as well.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214BD > (delay)6D, 623C > 236236A/C	454	260	2	35%	Anywhere	Two EX combo into super. Not worth over the better damage level 2 combo.
2B > 2B > 5B > BD, c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D, 623C > 236236B/D	395	350	2	10%	Anywhere	1000 Max Gauge combo. c.C can be used instead of c.D for more consistency.
2B > 2B > 5B > BD, c.D > 236AC, 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C > 236236B/D	402	230	2	10%	Anywhere	1500 Gauge combo.
CD > 236C, 214BD ~ (delay)6B, 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C > 236236B/D	446	200	2	30%	Corner
236CD, 214D, 623C > 236236B/D	357	140	2	75%	Anywhere
236CD, 214D ~ (delay)6B, 623C > 236236B/D	383	220	2	80%	Corner
2B > 2B > 5B > 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C > 236236BD	450	150	2.5	25%	Anywhere	Optimal in the corner.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D, 623C > 236236B/D	538	260	2.5	40%	Anywhere
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D ~ (delay)6B, 623C > 236236B/D	540	340	2.5	45%	Corner	Notice how the 6B follow-up does not add significant damage as meter output increases. The stun and meter gain can be notable however.
CD > 236C, 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C > 236236BD	490	200	2.5	35%	Corner
236CD, 214BD ~ (delay)6D, 623C > 236236B	400	60	2.5	65%	Anywhere
236CD, 214BD ~ (delay)6B, 623C > 236236B	403	60	2.5	65%	Corner

3 Bars

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes 432
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B > 6D, 623C > 2141236CD	565	340	3	45%	Anywhere	BNB combo ending in climax. DP into climax is done as 63214C, 236CD. This can also be done with 214A for an easier cancel but only 557 damage. 236236A/C > 236236BD doesn't work midscreen, and reversing the two does far less damage.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214BD > (delay)6D, 623C > 236236BD	564	260	3	35%	Anywhere	2 EX combo ending in 236236BD. Very nice damage.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214D > (delay)6B, 623C > 236236A/C > 236236BD	594	380	3	48%	Corner	Her corner combo with a level 1 to level 2 cancel. Easy to do and very high damage, the 2 supers do more damage than a raw climax here.
(2B > 2B > 5B/c.D) > Quick Max, c.C > 236AC, 214BD, 623C > 236236BD	525	340	3	5%	Anywhere	Quick Max combo into level 2. Not enough time in Quick Max to get 2 supers out, and that would be corner only anyway. Light starter does 451.

c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B > 6D, 623C > 236236A/C > 2141236CD	679	340	4	45%	Anywhere	4 bar BNB into climax. Round closer, not the biggest damage ever but very high.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214BD > (delay)6D, 623C > 2141236CD	629	260	4	35%	Anywhere	2 EX combo ending in climax. Not as great as the above combo.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214D > (delay)6B, 623C > 236236A/C > 2141236CD	660	380	4	48%	Corner	Corner combo into level 1 > climax.

c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B > 6D, 623C > 236236BD > 2141236CD	806	340	5	0	Anywhere	Level 2 into climax. If the 4 bar won't kill, go for this.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214BD > (delay)6D, 623C > 236236A/C > 2141236CD	730	260	5	10%	Anywhere	2 EX combo into climax. Doesn't totally drain your meter, but doesn't leave you with much.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214D > (delay)6B, 623C > 236236BD > 2141236CD	770	380	5	0	Corner	Corner BNB into level 2 > climax. Simple but not the best damage for the cost.
