Samurai have inate job access to the following skills, at the levels given. Other skills may be available due to support job selection. All Samurai skills are combat skills, the Samurai has no access to any magic skills. Great Katana: A+ Parrying: A- Evasion: B+ Polearm: B- Archery: C+ Sword: C+ Throwing: C Dagger: E Club: E</li>

Warrior
The most consistently reliable of the common support jobs for Samurai, Warrior provides good stats in all melee areas and a variety of passive and active abilities. Berserk increases both normal attacks and weapon skill damage consistently, while Defender aids survivability in an emergency. Provoke is a necessary tool for Fuidama setup when partying with a Thief after level 30.

Thief
Directed more towards "spike" damage than the Warror support job, Thief directs incredible power to only weapon skills with the use of Sneak Attack. After level 60 the addition of Trick Attack also means that the Samurai will not have to deal with the "Hate" generated by the weapon skill. Thief support job also places enemy markers on the Radar compass, enhancing the Samurai ability as puller.

Ranger
Samurai is one of the few jobs which can benefit from a Ranger support job. The actual tactical uses of Ranger abilities vary from Samurai to Samurai. One of the most obvious benefits of the Ranger support job is access to the Archery weapon skills. However, Samurai Archery skill caps as a C+ skill, and as a result Accuracy and Attack are affected compared to a Ranger. The usefulness of Ranger support job may therefore be influenced by the choice of targets, as Samurai Archery use will be more effective on lower evasion enemies. Use of Archery for TP gain is also a common tactic, as Store TP operates by multiplying TP gain, and is more obviously useful on long delay, high TP weapons like longbows.

Ranger, like Thief, features Radar positions of hostile enemies, and also allows use of Wide Scan to locate specific targets.
