Is Shang-Chi good?
Shang-Chi's Wushu Strike gives him solid utility, and Critical Hits are where most of his value lives, which is enough to put him at S. Pierce and Pure Skill let his Crits bypass more Armor for dealing with bulkier opponents, and Stupefy squeezes extra hits out of the Stun windows from his Parry mastery and Pin-Point Strike.
Getting punished for landing Critical Hits is his one real weakness.
