Job Description

Samurai are well armed and armoured. They have effective abilities that effect large radii of enemies or allies, and their attacks can discriminate between enemy and ally. Their Draw Out action ability set is a great secondary set for magic-users, as their effectiveness depend on MA. They can hold a sword with two hands, making them very powerful. It should be noted that each Draw Out ability could potentially destroy the katana being drawn out, so a good inventory of extra katanas should be held.

Job Ability Description

The skills that are really useful here are Kikuichmoji, Murmasa, Murasame, and Kiyomori. As for their other abilities, Blade Grasp and Meatbone Slash are nice. Two hands isn't really worth the time, the ninja's Two Sword ability is much better.
