lvl 50

Level 50 unlocks the final weaponskill, Yukikaze, a combo finisher to open the final Sen, Setsu. It combos from Hakaze so it is a two hit combo contrary to Gekko and Kasha. It applies a slashing resistance down debuff to the target.

Level 50 also confers the Meikyo Shisui ability, a cooldown that allows you to execute up to 3 combo abilities without meeting combo prerequisites. This may be used, for example, to quickly get Jinpu and Shifu buffs up or to open up all three Sen in a fraction of the time as normal. Note that Iaijutsu do not consume a charge. Additionally, any combo actions used during Meikyo Shisui will not continue after the buff falls off. For example, if you use the last charge on Jinpu, the combo action for Gekko will not be primed after Meikyo Shisui falls off.

The opening of the final Sen unlocks the final Iaijutsu, Midare Setsugekka. This powerful single target nuke gives the opportunity in single target situations to deal massive damage without having to clip Higanbana.

With our repertoire of weaponskills complete plus a new cooldown to play with, let’s explore opener options.

Opener 1

Buff first: Shifu > Jinpu > Yukikaze.

Iaijutsu: Apply Higanbana after getting Jinpu buff. Remaining Sen build towards Midare Setsugekka.

Meikyo Shisui: generate second Midare Setsugekka.

The time horizon was selected so that each opener had at least two Midare Setsugekka.

These openers have fairly similar cumulative potencies over the selected time horizon. At level 50, you have no other offensive cooldowns when considering buff alignment. Party synergies will need to be considered to determine the best placement. (Maximizing potency delivered under party buffs.) Higanbana is applied at a different time and each opener bursts at different times. Since Higanbana and Midare Setsugekka have the highest effective potency per GCD (with DoT snapshot), getting those Iaijutsu under party buffs will differentiate these openers’ potency significantly.

In a vacuum, 40s into an encounter from scratch, these five different openers are virtually indistinguishable from each other. The ramp up time of SAM, even at higher levels, minimizes the impact of opener design (in a vacuum). Party buff timing and encounter design will play a more significant role in rotation efficacy than anything else. As long as you keep the GCD rolling, follow a good priority system, and don’t waste resource, you will be performing near optimally.

• Maintain buffs and debuffs. Shifu and Jinpu are virtually equal in importance (see part 5) and the slashing resistance down can likely be handled by another player.

• Apply Higanbana if it can tick for at least half its duration. Use Midare Setsugekka if not or if Higanbana is already applied.

• Use Meikyo Shisui to open Sen/use your combo finishers. See part 5 for in-depth discussion.

• AoE principles are unchanged from lvl 45; Meikyo Shisui can be used similarly.

For short duration phases (60-90s or so), some more thought may be needed in how you approach it.
