Makes you wonder if Hagakure will only be a dps increase if you have Meikyo Shishui ready to use and something like Hissatsu: Guren to dump Kenki immediately so you don't cap out. I assume the cap is 100 kenki.

If you're at 40 kenki or below i'm pretty sure it would be a dps increase regardless. You can spend 3 sen on 720 potency. If you want to do everything you can to try to favor that you can use Kaiten to get 1080 potency out of 3 sen and 20 keniki. On the other hand the conversion to 60 keniki you could do Yaten > Enhanced enbi > Gyoten > Shinten > Shinten for a total of 1100 potency. Of course that takes a lot longer to execute than midare but I think it's probably overall better.

According to Very Merri. Kaiten does not affect DoT potencies from Higanbana. Just the initial hit. Like how life surge on drg would only crit the initial hit on chaos thrust but not the dot ticks

I'm not always good with stuff that takes varying amounts of gcds but I don't think Haganbana is ever worth applying. If kaiten doesn't affect dot ticks then Haganbana is 1060 total potency. Midare is 1080 under kaiten.
