Blew a small hoard of 170-180ish pulls (lost count after 2 waves of 4star champion rewards) and got him to 4 3 5(1). So one cover away from champing and am about half way through sharding the final cover.
He's stronk, and fun.
Like I thought he is really fun with IMHB. It's just a shame matching blue tiles doesn't generate or keep combo points on him.0 -
I have 10 covers on him, 1 saved.
I've already seen many foes literally exploding, 125k, 250k health...
Just for to see moments like that it is worth to play him.
However he is boosted right now and he will be less absolutely OP when the boost ends.
I'm starting to suffer SC stress too: if I don't see red or purple matchs I'm feeling bad lol.0 -
So, is he 5/3/5 or 4/4/5?0
-
For me 4/5/4 or 5/5/3.
Mine has 12 covers and is 4/5/3.
Never purple on 3.0 -
He's definitely a 5/3/5 for me. That extra tile destroyed can determine the fate of your winfinite.

Wanda is cruzial for him for to survive. The third wheel can be perfectly anyone.
I recorded a match using karnak vs They came from outher space, with a unchamped SC(I finally champed him now).
In loving SC boosted thread.2 -
@Bad thanks, I watched your Shang/Karnak/Wanda video. Yes Wanda was crucial; she prevented Shang getting downed by Hela's Green and Doom's Black. Plus it's scary (in a good way) that one usage of Shang's Purple downed a 93k health Captain Marvel.
He'll be a great go-to for me in the challenge node when Iceman/Thor/Okoye have trouble, since I don't have Beta Ray Bill champed.2 -
If you are pairing him with 5torm (3/5/5), she can create charged tiles and cascades with her yellow and green.
If one of the opponent's strongest colours is red, Rogue will be excellent because she will multiply his red damage by 3. I have not tried it with blue/purple before. 3* Cyclops will be good. If winfinite works for my team of Karnak/3* Cyclops/Rogue, it will work for Shang Chi. For strongest colour that is blue, Karnak or Riri should be good.

I've been messing around with him in that awful PvP and the current PvE and he's just a ton of fun to use.
You don't necessarily need SW or another defensive character to keep him alive. One important thing is being strategic with his combo points/match damage until you're ready to go off. Sometimes it's better to purposely break the combo to reset his match damage, so he doesn't tank the entire board and die before you can start chaining. You can easily build the combo back up when you go infinite.
I try to save up two casts of red and at least one cast of purple before I use any of his stuff. This is a lot easier/faster if you boost.
I also tried using Thor to generate red for him, and...it works? The thirds I tried were 5* Storm and 5* Cyclops and both those teams are pretty crazy. You need someone who can add reds back to the board when you start comboing off, because Thor will remove them all.0 -
I love to play loki 4* with him, his yellow creates charged tiles on red, his black shuffles, and even he bites when matching charged tiles!
Karnak unloading his blue is devastating as SC will damage on the sudden 3 balls in whatever color matched.
Of course valkyrie is a good option too.
Odin is great as he will take the hits until SC could restore, and he will set all SC powers at level 5 for amazing effects.
Heimdall is one of the best partners for SC too on his blue and yellow.

The characters people like are the autopilot/strong passive types and that's exactly the opposite of what he is.0 -

The team I'm using is Cyclops, Alligator Loki and Shang-Chi. What often happens when you're comboing off is you'll stall out -- there are no red or purple matches to make.
I was using Cyclops yellow and green as boardshake to keep it going, but with Alligator Loki black on the team as well, you almost never stall out.
I'm full-boosting into matches, but it's FAST against the 5e and challenge node. I think this is the best/fastest possible team for Shang-Chi, and with some more practice I think it'll be equal to the fastest challenge node teams. (Yes, Shang-Chi is currently boosted, but mine is only boosted to 450ish).
I can't think of another blue or black boardshake ability (red/purple go to Shang-Chi and yellow/green to Cyclops, so those are the only open colors). You need Cyclops for his multiplicative, stacking match damage boost and his green power to add reds back in.
If there's a blue/black character where both abilities do boardshake that'd be the best team, otherwise it's this one.6 -
Have you tried Quake's blue?0

I've been running my 1/3/1 Shang-Chi with Onslaught and a max-champ Chavez on the 5e node in this past run of Operation Spider Silk, and that team works really well. It's the kind of pick-3 I enjoy, where you flank a very technical character with a pair of synergistic auto-pilot characters so that i can largely just focus on managing Shang-Chi. You have a ton of crit and cascade opportunity on this team, and Onslaught's active blue can really make a difference in a pinch without really getting in the way of what SC is doing (@entrailbucket this is your blue boardshaker perhaps). I'm really looking forward to getting him all the way up to champ at some point.0

I already said how good of a partner heimdall is.
With his blue he can multiply SC powers.
One thing hurts SC so much is to be stunned for 3 turns.
The tricky move is to fire Heimdall yellow, and if running loki 4 or SW, then SC will be unstunned and with 3AP gained in each power.
It's clobbering time again!2 -
