You'll start the fight with Yuikikaze which puts the slashing debuff right away which other slashing jobs would benifit from as well. When using Gekko and Kasha be sure to hit their postionals for 10 Kenki. Once you reach Jinpu in this
opener you'll hit 100 Kenki just as you get your 15% Damage up,thanks to this all your Hissatsu will benifit from both 15% Damage up and Slashing debuff. This is also why I would use Jinpu before Shifu as Shifu only boosts your GCDs and Auto-attacks and NOT your oGCDs which are your Hissatsu skills.
