Meikyo Shisui lets excute 3 weaponskill combos without meeting prerequisites, which mean you get combo potencies AND combo bonuses.

At 480 potency on Gekko/Kasha Kaiten grants 240 additional potency, so you're still better off saving that Kenki for Shinten instead of using it on a Kaiten there.

In other words, you're correct.
If Meikyo Shisui, Hissatsu: Senei, and Tsubame-gaeshi are all on cooldown then yes.


If only Hissatsu: Senei and Tsubame-gaeshi are on cooldown and Meikyo is about to come up, and you just did Kaiten buffed Midare Setsugekka, and you also need to factor in how much Kenki you should have to for max Meikyo Shisui damage(45 or more Kenki) since Yukikaze, Kasha, and Gekko generate up to 35 Kenki(yes Yukikaze needs to be have the Kaiten buff as well but this is only for Meikyo Shisui burst). However, this only works for me and sometimes you need to hit True North for max Kenki generation during this as well so this is more general and is up to other players if they want to take the hit to their Kenki gauge sooner rather than later, and if they can get a Kaiten buffed Higanbana before their Shifu and Jinpu buffs fall off after, so speed demons will want as much skillspeed for that.


But we do know that SAMs Shoha is getting reworked so the Hissatsu: Kaiten change might not be around for long much longer...
