Ulik said: Bad said: Stuff Shang doesn’t like to share; it’s all about him. Red passive is nice, but better to have a partner that gives him more combos while creating another effect. Mighty Thor blue/yellow, for example.
Bad said: Stuff
allen_koholic said: New Emma feels kinda like a diet Shang Chi.That blue power seems borderline useless and unfortunate.
Bad said: If SC has 10 AP, not something really strange, and this character grants him then 90% plus damage, plus all his combo points, and another character creating effects like you say, don't you think SC has less work to do to wipe out the stage?Also this character is expected to destroy 5 tiles while dealing high AoE.SC could be set to 3/5/5 and take advantage of their red, if he doesn't need extra health.

Who uses Shang red?

Who uses Shang red? I use Shang-Chi's red all the time. True healing and tile destruction? Sign me up!

Really?I feel like her red is Shang Chi on energy drinks It costs slightly more and even when she's sitting on top of a ton of red AP, it still hits a about as hard SC after he's combo'd twice. And her purple is, I dunno, ...there? It's not bad. It just doesn't really support the rest of her kit. She has three decent abilities, but none of them really work together. SC is a monster on offense because his whole kit is designed to work together. He's a one-man winfinite when he gets rolling. He's unstoppable with the right partner(s).New Emma can hit hard. Or she can do board control. Or she can tank. But those are (mostly) XORs. SC can do all of those at once. I'm not saying she's bad. But it's like comparing Apoc to Okoye. Apoc's trick is being an Okoye light.

I have experimented with different builds and I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference and who you're pairing him with.All that being said, I choose to usually run him at 3/5/5.
Godzillafan67 said: I'm fairly certain that @Ulik was making an absurdist point to the idea of a 3/5/5 SC build. Until today, I've never seen anyone suggest anything other than 5/x/x.
