Shang Chi

I’m maxing Shang Chi out rn but I’m having trouble dealing with his low health especially in story mode because he gets KOed easily in just a few hits. What can I do?

Do you still rely on parries all the time?
What opponents in particular are you struggling with?
Where are you in the game progression?
My normal rotation with Shange Chi as a bare basic is:
1. Parry
2. MLLLM to trigger stun ability
3. MLM or MM (depending on whether it's more useful to get cleanse on yourself or slow on them - default to MLM)
4. Heavy while the stun is still active, to reset the Chi charges
5. Parry again OR Bait a special OR intercept -> do whatever it takes to get an opening
6. MLLLM again to trigger stun
7. MLM, MLLM, SP2 (you should have enough power by now) - this should do a considerable amount of damage.
8. Essentially repeat that until they go down.
Alternative rotations include building to an SP3 to bank your Chi charges more and ultimately unleash a bigger SP2 for longer fight, focussing more on certain chi abilities based on utility requirements (e.g. MLLM if you need unblockabke, or MM if you need to maintain the slow) and utilising SP1 to keep them up.
So you go for the stun first, then you say you MLM or MM depending on the needs of the fight but if you immediately heavy right after while the stun is still active, it doesn’t matter because it resets them all right? Also I’ve never tried stun, then another combo then heavy, you’ve got enough time to do that?
Also shang chi has an hidden ability where his stun duration won't get reduced by nodes like limber because he was coded in such a way that each extra 0.65 second duration (based on his current readied strikes) will add to stun duration after nodes like limber.
100%, each combo effect decreases for the amount thrown (stun first to get it in,MM if you need them to stand still longer).
every combo you complete counts, goes to his crit damage, UNTIL you drop the SP2 to cash it all out.
can do a SP1 to SP2 depending on health pools.
essentially have fun slapping people around, and use all the utility, until either they fall over, or you SP2 them through the Great Wall. NOT the best skill champ, but effective, fun, and really intuititve. my dude gets undersold a lot.
