Yes and no. For a beginner this is absolutely true, but once you hit lv45 you really should start thinking bigger picture of how you enter your Mudra. For example, when I go to use Raiton, I NEVER use the Ten-Chi combo I had been using at lower levels and instead had to retrain myself to using Jin-Chi. The reason here being that if I'm fighting a primal and it goes into a jump phase, or if I'm using it on a floor mob, and it dies before I can use it, I haven't wasted my Mudra if I no longer have a target. If I go with Ten-Chi then my only other next option is Jin to cast Suiton and if I still have no target, I only have a few seconds to find one, however if I use Jin-Chi, then I can just use Ten and refresh my Huton so there's no risk of it falling off when the enemy reappears or by the time we get to the next group.
