About

So you study the blade do you? Well consider this analysis the exam to see exactly how much you have learned about the basics of Samurai. This tool will track your Sen and Kenki gains/uses to see if you are missing possible resources to gain or you have failed to make the most out of what you gained over the course of the fight.'

Checklist
Always be casting
96.0%

Make sure you're always doing something. It's often better to make small mistakes while keeping the GCD rolling than it is to perform the correct rotation slowly.

  • GCD Uptime: 96.03%
Keep Fuka and Fugetsu up
99.4%

Fugetsu and Fuka increases your damage and speed by 13%. Both buffs are key part of Samurai's damage.

Keep Higanbana up
58.6%

As a Samurai, Higanbana is a significant portion of your sustained damage, and is required to kept up for as much as possible, for the best damage output.

Use Your Ogis
100.0%

Using Ikishoten grants Ogi Namikiri Ready which is consumed to use Ogi Namikiri and Kaeshi: Namikiri. Using these skills are important for both your damage output and rotational alignment as Ogi Namikiri and Kaeshi: Namikiri replace your filler GCDs.

  • Use as many of your Ogis as possible.: 12/12
Use Your Tendos
96.2%

Using Meikyo Shisui grants Tendo which is consumed to use Tendo Setsugekka and its followup Tendo Kaeshi Setsugekka or Tendo Goken and its followup Tendo Kaeshi Goken. Using these skills are a straight potency gain over your regular Iaijutsu skills and should not be missed.

  • Use all of your Tendos.: 25/26
Use Your Tsubame-gaeshi
97.1%

Using Iaijutsu actions except for Higanbana grants Tsubame-gaeshi Ready which is consumed to use Tsubame-gaeshi actions. Do not drop these actions by not casting them, or overwrite them by casting another Tsubame-gaeshi Ready granting Iaijutsu before using the Tsubame-gaeshi.

Use Meditation Stacks
100.0%

Wasted meditation generation, ending the fight with stacks fully charged, or dying with stacks charged is a direct potency loss. Use Shoha to avoid wasting stacks.

  • Use as many of your meditation stacks as possible.: 15/15
Use your cooldowns
97.6%

Always make sure to use your actions when they are available, but do not clip your GCD to use them.

Hit your positionals
92.1%

Melee DPS jobs have some skills that will do more damage when used from the rear or flank. Make sure you use those skills in the right position to do the most damage, or use True North when you are out of position.

Suggestions
Try to land 3 GCDs during every Meikyo Shisui window.
Medium
1 GCD was missed during Meikyo Shisui windows.
Avoid interrupting Iaijutsu casts. Despite the short cast time, moving too early can interrupt the skill causing you to have to waste time re-casting it.
Medium
You missed 2 casts (approximately 1.20s of total casting time) due to interruption.
Avoid weaving more actions than you have time for in a single GCD window. Doing so will delay your next GCD, reducing possible uptime. Check the Weaving Issues module below for more detailed analysis.
Medium
2 instances of incorrect weaving

Defensives
Using your mitigation and healing cooldowns can help you survive mistakes, or relieve some stress on the healers and let them deal more damage.
While you shouldn't use them at the expense of your rotation or buff alignment, you should try to find helpful times to use them.
