Samurai AoE Quick Question

[Runningwithcat]

Is it better to use Kaiten before every Mangetsu and Oka, or use Kyuten with that Kenki instead?

Edit: I've figured it out. Thanks for reading!

use your sword instead of sheathe.

Kaiten is only really ever worth using on Iaijutsu. The break even point for Kaiten vs Shinten is that the attack you're buffing needs to have 480 potency for single target. For AoE, the break even point for Kaiten vs Kyuten is 240 potency. No attack besides Iaijutsu breaks that limit, and even then Tenka Goken fails to break 240 potency per enemy on 5 or more targets due to AoE falloff.
