They changed the shield again so your bonus damage is hardcapped. It ends when the shield is gone, so no more overblasting with an ultimate.
I had to readjust my old rotation to make up for the missing damage. Unfortunately, I am still missing a divine key and some dorm buffs, this could've been a nice 750 otherwise.
In the beginning I farm 6 dodges to have enough SP for the entire fight. Later, during the Mei damage sequence, after her combo attack (01:32 to 01:36), I use one animation cancel to speed up the meter gain. There could be a second cancel within that sequence, but it felt like it's doing a little bit less damage that way, so I didn't to it. Other than that, there isn't anything special.
