Are people firing Spiral's Dancing Blades as part of the combo chain?

I didn't like Spiral's built in mix-master node playstyle, but since the Titan crystal keeps blessing me with sigs on her, it looks like I am forced to learn her.
I've been watching some videos, and it seems like there is SP1-SP2 rotation or a SP1 spam rotation. But, generally it seems like people are just mainly using her dancing blade to dex specials (like against Bullseye) and not firing it.
Are people using her dancing blades as part of her combo? And if so, how (I can't get her to fire the blade upon completing a combo. Is there some specific timing to it)?

Sometimes I can't even get it to fire off, the swipe up on the left is just kinda odd to execute for me.
These combos should be possible iirc:
ML^MLLLM
MLL^MLLLM
MLLL^MLLLM
LM^MLLLM
LML^MLLLM
LMLL^MLLLM
LLML^MLLLM
LLLM^MLLLM
LLL^MLLLM
LLM^MLLLM
(^ is the blade)
(MLLLM is just there as a placeholder, you could do any combo in place of it)
But yeah only after a light attack. I normally do sp1, wait for the blade, MLLL^MMLLLMM by then I have sp2 or relic relic and sp2 and the opponent's dead.
40 seconds fights in BG
Right thumb does MLL then Left thumb taps Block and Right thumb swipes up to launch blades, then continue to combo on. Still doesn't feel natural, but it does feel more consistent.
I also tried one recommended strategy of doing LMLLM (I didn’t even know this was a combo before!). Compared to my prior strategy of LMLM, this feels less stressful to build up to 15 fervors while also benefiting from a 5 hit combo string.
I still don’t feel confident using her if I can’t parry or if I have worry to about node timers so time will tell whether I continue to use her or not.
