Guardian

Overview
Samurai is one of the classes that can be selected in Log Horizon

Summary
Of the 12 classes, the Guardian has the highest defense. The Guardian has ability to hold back enemies and is cornerstone of the front line. Despite being able to equip nearly all armor and weapons, taking into consideration the Guardian's unique characteristics, heavy plate armor, a shield, and a one-handed weapon (sword or mace) is most player go with.

Guardian supports the front line and has many skills to draw aggro. In particular, a skill that nullifies all damage for a set amount of time, or using a shield within a fixed range, is highly effective. The Guardian only class that has multiple skills for the shield.

However, the Guardian's potential to directly deal damage is not very high. A guardian needs high quality gear to be useful, which can be said to be it's weakness.
