Samurai Guide by Bippin

Samurai Guide by Bippin of Asura   

Writing is not my strength, but killing stuff on Samurai is

All of my Odyssey gear is R30 so keep that in mind.

Weapons

Masamune (Level 119 III): With Rank 15 augment should be your best Great Katana. Great for Fudo spam or even multi step Skillchains.

Dojikiri Yasutsuna: Great Weapon for when are the only one weaponskilling a target and can do Radiance. However R15 Masa will often still do better Weaponskill damage leading to higher Skillchain numbers.

Amanomurakumo (Level 119 III) Only really good when in need of that big boost to accuracy and even then I would swap to Dojikiri Yasutsuna first. This the only REMA I never use.

Kogarasumaru (Level 119 III) When super buffed (No fighters roll) can do really well for Jinpu Spam

Shining One: Great when a mob is weak to piercing damage type. Can also be a great weapon for when a AoE Weaponskill is needed (Sonic Thrust). For Impulse drive save TP until 2000 (1750 with Moonshade earring) This or even Kaja Lance will be your best weapon to use until getting Masamune or Dojikiri Yasutsuna

• This is normally your best weapon to use when trying do focus on darkness skillchains until Prime
  • Sonic Thrust → Sonic Thrust (Distortion) → Impulse Drive =Darkness
  • Stardiver → Sonic Thrust (Distortion) → Impulse Drive = Darkness

Murasamemaru: Changes the damage type of Weapon Skills to be non-attribute damage.

• • When it matters this is really nice to have around

Soboro Sukehiro: May be worth having around for 6 step skillchaining in omen or vagary easier

Fusenaikyo: Path B can be really nice for Subtle blow, but SAM can now hit 70 Subtle blow in gear w/o outside buffs. Path C can also be fun to swap in for Sekkanoki for that sweet WSD+100%

Skillchains

Note: denotates the need of Dojikiri Yasutsuna to continue the SC.

• Light Skillchains
  • Tachi: Shoha → Tachi: Shoha = Light
  • Tachi: Shoha → Tachi: Kasha (Light) → Tachi: Fudo = Light
    • If using , ends in Radiance.

Tachi: Fudo > Tachi: Kasha > [Fusion] > Tachi: Rana > [Gravitation] > Tachi: Shoha > [Fragmentation] > Tachi: Kasha > [Light] > Tachi: Fudo

Job-Specific Armor: AF/Relic/Empyrean

---

Job Specific Equipment
Item	Upgrade?	Notes
Wakido Kabuto +3	Yes	Great Regain for idle and more meditate ticks. Can also be used in a Max Acc TP/WS set
Wakido Domaru +3		DT body but has been replaced by Empy+2/3 body
Wakido Kote +3	MUST	More Hasso haste should be high on the list to make.
Wakido Haidate +3	Yes	Nyame R25 has replaced this for WS, but is still a great piece to swap in for accuracy.
Wakido Sune. +3	Yes	Great for Midshot, Ranged attacks. Also good to use for more stacked Hasso+ when you are not magic haste capped.
Sakonji Kabuto +3	Yes	Great for Midshot, Ranged attacks.
Sakonji Domaru +3 Extra TP return when Overwhelm affected WS	Yes	R25+ Nyame is more WSD but can still be worth using when Overhelm is usable for extra TP return, Also accuracy swap in for single hit WSs.
Sakonji Kote +3 Enhances Blade Bash effect by extending Plague duration by 20% per merit level.	Yes	More Meditate tick is a must, could also use for PDT as you gear up.
Sakonji Haidate +3	Yes	Great to be used with Third eye for extra counter
Sak. Sune-Ate +3 Reduces the cost of weapon skills to 750 TP while Meikyo Shisui is in effect. Must remain equipped whilst performing weapon skills.	Yes	Augments on feet are great when using SP. Also a decent Accuracy Weaponskill piece
Kasuga Kabuto +3	Yes	Great Hybrid DT piece very good for the STP as well. Seigan Counter as well
Kasuga Domaru +3	Yes	Great TP body and extra DT now
Kasuga Kote +3	Yes	Sekkanoki, and now with extra WSD
Kasuga Haidate +3	Yes	Great for engaged sets now that it has more STP then AF gloves. Still enough Hasso+ to cap attack speed when Magic haste is capped.
Kas. Sune-Ate +3	Yes	Another 12% added to Sengikori, Also can now be used when attack is capped for the extra PDL

Ambuscade Gear Gear from Ambuscade is a great jumping off point. Working on using Ambu gear to cap Haste in a TP set and then create the best WS sets you can, while working on Su3/Relic/AF gear. https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Category:Ambuscade_Rewards

• • Hizamaru Hizayoroi +2 Can be worth upgrading to use for Weaponskills before finishing Wakido Haidate +3
• Flamma pieces can be a great starter TP pieces with the head and feet taking you very far.
  • Flamma Zucchetto +2 Great TP head for many sets
  • Flamma Korazin +2 Can be used for a starter TP and even WS body until you get better gear
  • Flamma Manopolas +2
  • Flamma Dirs +2 Cure potency received set
  • Flamma Gambieras +2 Great for high Accuracy TP sets until you get Tatena. Sune. +1
  • Flamma Ring Solid TP piece and just about as good as Chirich Ring +1. Really just comes down to what you want to carry around

Sub Jobs

Samurai's best sub job will really depend on what content you are doing and what support you have. /War or even /Drk will pull ahead of others when attack is needed (Berserk/Last Resort). /DRG can offer 7WSD(More with ML+) and High Jump to help remove some enmity often the best sub if attack is capped without Berserk. Now with master level /DRG can not be over looked. Now with access to high jump and super jump this can easily be the best sub for Dynamis D.
