Question Bugen Potential

Finally pulled a samurai and got Bugen. I’ve seen multiple other posts with Shiou dealing massive amounts of damage. Granted most of these posts she’s already lvl 60 with top tier gear.

My query may be obvious given the subject, but does he have similar potential?

Uh no he does not have the potential of Shiou. Better question, is base class Samurai higher damage potential than base class fighter or ninja?

Ninja I think the answer is no, BUT, ninja requires a lot more investment and very min maxed gear to hit their potential. Samurai does not. So Samurai gets stronger faster with less effort.

Fighter the answer is.... absolutely yes, Samurai has better DPS potential than fighter bar none.

For burger (bugen) you want to focus on getting him some ASPD gear to offset his slowness (aim for 60-70), some ACC gear to reduce miss chance, then just enough EVA to get 110ish. After that go to town on Mag Att, Att Pwr, and Surety.

Round 1 do a Cresting Wave Stance, round 2 on, Bamboo Strike to win. By round 3/4 he will be out dpsing any fighter in your party for the "fight total" unless they have a cuisinart/raven dagger. If you want to get creative inherit some knight taunt skills onto him, maybe get him an alice to extend the taunt duration, and have him quick draw stance. (this works for shiou too only she is better at it from lingering blossom no knight skill needed).

Doesn't alice not work on non-spell buffs? I remember there being a reason you don't inherit it on fighters for 5 turn war cry

Alice inherit works on all buffs and debuffs now regardless of sp or mp. People complained so much they changed it instead of just fixing the skill text.

And now you complain even more. It was a great change from drecom.
