Samurai

Overview
The Samurai primarily uses Japanese equipment like  daiyoroi ,  katana  and  tachi . The Samurai's defense is said to rival that of the Blade Master, but because of the class's inability to equip shields, its overall defense is considered inferior.

The Samurai class has many so-called "Ace Moves" that can chain large amount of combos in a short time with high offensive and defensive abilities, but with long cooldowns. However, once an Ace Move is executed, the Samurai is unable to respond quickly to attacks and may even be unable to move.

Also, most of the Samurai's skills have a long cool down period (generally 2-3 turns); as a result, each can only be used only fewer times making this class more suitable for short fights, rather than long ones.

Despite this shortcoming, each skill is very strong and accurate and can be quite effective against players who are 20 levels or higher than the Samurai. Naturally, this class requires incredible insight of the battlefield, thus making it difficult to use. However, it is still extremely popular on the Japanese server.

Races.

 * Can be selected by Jin , Kun, Lyn , and Human races.

Passive Abilites
Tranquil Mind: This passive ability gives the samurai the ability to stay calm at nearly any situation almost never seeming stressed at all. This allows them to think with perfect clarity even when under extreme emotional or physical distress. If this ability is trained far enough, one can even withstand emotional based abilities or even torture.
