Is the Samurai kind of weak

#1

I play has Hunter, but from what I see the Samurai is weaker
How does everyone else feel?

#2

It’s an alternative beserker, and beserker is weak so yes. Consequences of melee putting you in easy kill range of every gun + big hitbox + swing animations + potential to be parried.

High risk for single target damage that still has a slower TTK than just hitting them with bow a few times.

Definitely weaker then hunter, elder, scout but more viable than berserker

The reason I believe this because I feel like you need more stamina/energy for situations then health

I’ve been using samurai tho and you definitely need to mix range and melee to make him viable, can’t be berserker and be a dumbass and melee rush. Gotta be smart and use tactics

So far I’ve only been playing samurai these 3 days and I haven’t lost a game as him

Or maybe I’m retarded and it’s the katana lol

so not a good build?

You can use the bow or hand held for range and katana or elder sword, katana, combi for melee

Or use the smart disc and master it because it can wreck

I think the samurai has less stamina than the berserker. I know it has the same health as the berserker from testing in a private match, but you don’t gain much from only one more perk point, so overall, I don’t think the samurai is all that effective, when berserker can do the same role better. Just not enough stamina.

I suppose a tanky range attacker is probably the only strong build with samurai

Do you think he leaps farther then zerk tho? When I used the samurais leap I felt like it went way farther and I’m pretty sure his energy is glitched or severely low

#8

Not sure. I would have to test that. I haven’t had enough free time to really flesh out the particulars.

#9

Who cares? It looks like shit lol, No point in winning if you dont look cool while doing it.

He seems okay, not too weak, I’ve been running the plasma gun and katana on him and have been doing okay

Melee attacks seem to be more powerful than berserkers.
However, their stamina is underwhelming and challenging them to a fight is a one-way ticket.
If you have Hand Plasma or a bow, just go with another class.
In general, I think it’s an average class with a dent in the sharpness of the class.

近接攻撃はバーサーカーより強力に思える。
しかしスタミナが圧倒的に足りず、格闘を挑む事は片道切符だ。
ハンドプラズマや弓を持つなら他のクラスでいい。
総じて、尖った分凹んでいる平均的なクラスだと思う。

I was a hunter main combi stick and bow with fearless, impenetrable, and adrenal boost. Im having more success and fun with the samurai with katana and bow, i swapped fearless for light bender and I use bear traps now too. I don’t rush the ft I play like the hunter sneaky with the bow, bear trap set ups before I engage with the katana unless one strays too far from the flock. The bow can be really powerful if your good with it. I haven’t tried the katana on the hunter yet I’m having too much fun with my samurai load out!

I gotta imagine the sword and net gun is pretty deadly… you’ll die instantly while trying to get out of the net
