This skill does not actually reduce the damage Musashi deals with her cards, it splits the damage evenly over the doubled hit count. If she would deal 20,000 damage over 2 hits with her Buster(10,000 per hit), Lv1 Fifth Form makes that 20,000 damage over 4 hits(5000 per hit). Lv10 Fifth Form would make it 26,000 damage over 4 hits(6500 per hit).

So your damage per hit might go down, but nothing else in the entire game cares about that, only the total.

As far as interaction with other buffs go, Fifith Form is a Type 3/Power Mod buff, and is thus additive with Critical Damage and event damage bonuses.
