Samurai.
I've been meaning to make a true solo-type character so I can farm without a party sometimes...
So I decided to make a samurai.
Mainly because I hate ninja but I want a solid solo-type character.
I got inspired from rarariri様の blog whose samurai (and wizard) is pretty terrific.
I'm excited to try out her poison-type samurai once the boss comes out, too.
Regardless, the results are pretty great so far.
Even at only level 180, his damage is almost as good as my minstrel when she is solo...
(And now I can understand why minstrel+samurai combo is not that great for dps... samurai stats are simply not that great for dragonewt damage!)
Using her dual blow equipment as an anchor, I made a new character and equipped him with:
Muramasa Pulis ☆Quick Cool
Ultimi/Schwermer Dorry ☆Evasion
Huge Cherry Blossom/Daiginjo Holiday Raton ☆Autoskill
Accessory ☆Autoskill
Myrica Warrior of Light ☆Quick Cool
Red-Green Lines
▲leviam
▲shelk
▲cerbera
▲larkas
With this set up, my samurai has -2.5 skill delay, decent autoskill and survivability, and pretty decent damage.
Now I understand the allure of having a samurai, despite how costly it is to make one.
It's so much fun!
***edit
My mistake. I've tried minstrel with a dps orientated samurai and the combination was amazing. When my dnewt was 140k hers was 160k (not as good as gladiator but reeeally good damage).
They make a great combo for bosses unless the samurai cannot tank the minstrel.
