    Played SAM for the first time in 6.1 earlier today while doing Aglaia. The lack of Kaiten was extremely noticeable and has gutted the entire feel of the job. Instead of planning when to use Kaiten, kenki now revolves on weaving in Shintens when you have any built gauge, with the odd time when you'd add in the periodic Senei. It feels very brainless and not rewarding.

    Bring back Kaiten.

    Yeah, or rather instead of keeping enough Kenki for the next Kaiten you now sit on 20 Kenki with nothing to do with it, and with Senei.. how Kenki is dealt with now as 2minute cool down it doesn't make anysense that it consumes Kenki.
    Iaijutsu along with the Samurai itself feel in 6.1 reduced to lvl50, while Kaiten+Iaijutsu was a Combo that made Kenki and the later additions (Shinten,Kyuten,Senei and Guren) made sense and Kaiten build it all up kinda like a Trinity: The Player learns to use Kaiten to enhance Iaijutsu through Kenki
