Samurai

Samurai is one of the classes that can be selected in Elder Tale.

Overview
The Samurai primarily uses Japanese equipment like daiyoroi, katana and tachi. The Samurai's defense is said to rival that of the Guardian, 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.

One of its weakness is that once an Ace Move is executed, the Samurai is unable to respond quickly. Also, most skills have long cool down time (generally 5–10 minutes); as a result, they cannot be used more than once or twice per battle, making this class unsuitable for a long battle. Regardless of this shortcoming, each skill is very strong and accurate and can be quite effective even against a player who is 20 levels or higher. Naturally, this class inherently requires incredible insight of the battlefield thus making it difficult to use. However, it is still extremely popular on the Japanese server.
