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.

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.

1 Bar

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B > 6D, 623C > 236236A/C	377	340	1	45%	Anywhere	BNB combo with a super added, shortcut the dp super as 6236C, 236A/C.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214D, 623AC	369	200	1	5%	Anywhere	Example of a 2 EX combo. 623AC is nice if you wanna get just an extra bit of damage out of a combo normally ending in 623C.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214D > (delay)6B, 623C > 236236A/C	384	380	1	45%	Corner	Super extension to her corner combo

2 Bars

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 214B > 6D, 623C > 236236BD	498	340	2	48%	Anywhere	Level 2 super followup. Nice and simple damage increase. 236236BD does slightly more damage in a connect than 236236AC, despite the opposite being true of the level 1 versions, but it requires a low 623C hit.
c.C(1)/c.D > 6A > 236AC, 214BD > (delay)6D, 623C > 236236A/C	454	260	2	35%	Anywhere	Two EX combo into super. Generally not worth over the simpler and better damage level 2 combo.
(2B > 2B > 5B/c.D > 6A) > Quick Max, c.C > 236AC, 214BD, 623C > 236236A/C	432	340	2	5%	Anywhere	Quick max combo. Damage listed is with c.D starer. c.D > 6A can also be used after Quick Max, but pushback makes it much less consistent and impossible after a 6A. Damage with light starter is 366.

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.

4 Bars

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
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.

5 Bars

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes 595
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.
