Samurai (RPG Series Addon)

Draw your blade. Find your opening. Strike with purpose.

⚔ Combat techniques

Obtain a Samurai Spell Book through the Spell Binding Table and bind your techniques. Choose one technique from each tier to create a three-technique loadout.

• Issen — charge your blade and dash through enemies in a sudden cutting strike.
• Noto — prepare an empowered strike for your next attack or technique.
• Tenko — focus your strength into a piercing thrust along your aim.
• Shinto Mekkyaku — recover health through successful attacks during a brief combat stance.
• Bushido — temporarily increase your offensive power and mobility. With Better Combat, katanas gain sweeping diagonal attacks and red trails.
• Roar of the Full Moon — charge a broad slash that cuts through enemies in front of you.

Katanas also carry Parry: time your defense against a frontal attack to set up a counterstrike.

Class techniques and melee passives support other melee weapons, including swords, axes, and spears. Bushido’s special attack animations and trails remain exclusive to Samurai katanas.

🛡 Weapons & armor

• Progress through craftable material katanas and upgrade your armor at the Smithing Table.
• Equip Bushi, Warlord, and Netherite Warlord armor as you advance.
• With Armory, pursue Crimson Moon and Black Oni armor, each with two-piece and four-piece set bonuses. Upper-tier armor is obtained through smithing upgrades.
• With Arsenal, discover two unique loot weapons: Dawnsteel Katana, which ignites enemies, and Hungering Oni Katana, which builds Berserk through repeated hits. Look for them in fiery and evil-themed loot, respectively.

🔧 Configuration
