How To Acquire / Obtain

You can find the Samurai Dressphere in the Cloister of Trials in Kilika Temple in Chapters 3 or 5.

Description

Another strong "attacker" type of dressphere, the Samurai inflicts large amounts of damage with a huge sword. The Samurai is surprisingly agile in spite of this heavy weapon and evades many attacks with surprising ease. However, the weight of the weapon makes it more difficult to hit flying or evasive targets. While many of the Samurai's abilities revolve mainly around striking non-elemental damage against one or more foes, this dressphere also bestows the user with many talents for reducing magical enhancements of enemies while boosting the Samurai's own ability to fight. Thus, a Samurai specializes in creating a level playing field where honor can be maintained during combat.

In Combat

During combat, use a Samurai to strike enemies and cause massive damage. If the enemies show unusually high defense or if they cast beneficial status-raising spells, use the Samurai's "Fingersnap", "Nonpareil", and "No Fear" abilities to elevate the Samurai to the fiend's level. Even with the "Clean Slate" ability, a Samurai must still depend on others to regain lost HP.
