6.1 Kaiten Changes

[cjbeagle]

All I'm hearing from sam players rn is that it feels more like mch than sam. Lots of oGCD spamming. Then again, mch does actually have some responses to manage (pooling heat/battery) whereas sam is just shintenshintenshintenshintenshintenshineten.

That's a really good comparison point - MCH has a lot of OGCDs, but the majority of their uses are packed into the Overheat window, in which you tend to alternate between Gauss Round and Ricochet between Heat Blasts, and because this is during Overheat, it's part of your rotation.

Samurai used to have OGCD variety as well, and because of Kaiten, kenki spending used to be part of the rotation too - now neither are true.

In MCH terms it'd be like if they merged Gauss Round and Ricochet into a single OGCD to consolidate the spam into a single button, removed Wildfire and Hypercharge to make OGCD usage independent of the rotation, and removed Reassemble to lower burst, all at once.
