Higanbana casts were similar, Hagakure usage was similar, everything i could think of are kinda similar, but 20 shinten difference??

They could have been hitting more positionals or had more SkS so they could get more Kenki than you throughout the fight.

Can anybody help me on Sam? I'm only lvl 52 and I have the first kenki ability. Is there a reliable rotation I can use until I get the rest of my abilities? Also, does anybody have any suggestions on maintaining speed? REALLY like playing Sam and don't want to give it up. Thanks in advance.

There isn't much to it, really,
You first have to go through the Kasha combo for the Shifu buff.
Then the Gekko combo for the Jinpu buff.
Then and only then Yukikaze.

Kasha > Gekko > Yukikaze.

Right now you can't Kaiten Higanbana on the get-go, but later on with the Kenki accumulation improvement trait you'll be able to Kasha > Jinpu > Higanbana before Gekko.

This, in my opinion, will be the most typical opener entering this expansion.
