Samurai Hayato Guide

Description

Samurai Hayato is an exclusive job in JapanMS. It comes out with the release of The Sengoku Era. He is a samurai joined in with military forces with Exorcist Kanna for the sake of preventing the ritual of the Demon King's Descendant.

Hayato will use a Kataka, along with the Battoujutsu style of fighting, while also having a secondary weapon, which is a sheath.

 
 
Hayato’s main stat, as usual for a warrior, is STR, with DEX being his secondary stat. His maximum damage range formula is as follows :

1.25*(4*STR+DEX)*(Attack/100)
 
 
Hayato is a time-limited class that will be available from July 25, 2012 until October, 2012. Moreover, it has a link skill that gives +10 to all stats and +5 weapon attack. With that being the case, I wouldn’t be surprised if Kanna will have the same thing, but with magic attack instead. Hayato also has a character card. Its effect is +% Critical Minimum Damage, ranging from 2% to 8%, depending on the level of the character.

Level 29 : +3 Renjinzan
Level 30 : +3 Renjinzan (MAX)

You max everything.

Explanation :

Sanrenzan is your main attacking skill. Of course, you will want to put a point into that. It has a great attacking range and has a considerable speed to it. One point in Renjinzan will help you not only look like a BAMF when taking down enemies, but will also help you move around maps at lightning speed. Battoujutsu gives you critical rate, so you should focus on maxing that first, as Critical Rate is always the fastest way to getting better damage output. After you’ve maxed Battoujutsu, I recommend either going for Sanrenzan or Kengoudou, whichever you feel is the best. I went with Sanrenzan, but the 30 STR bonus from Kengoudou is also good. It’s all low-level stuff that goes by pretty quick, so take your pick. Renjinzan will be your last skill to max. 65 points at 1st job will end up with all skills maxed.

Explanation :

The first 5 points in 2nd job will be a lot of fun, as it’s always fun testing out new skills – especially when you can get multiple new attacks at once. Dump 1 point in Sanrenzan, one in Dankuusen, one in Shouryuusen, one in Hiken – Ikaru and one in Hiken Hayabusa. Sanrenzan is self explanatory – it’s an upgrade to the previous Sanrenzan attack, so it’s important. Dankuusen is similar to Shadower’s old skill named Assaulter. You jet yourself at an enemy at quick speed, dealing damage to them as you pass by them. This can be used without monsters in your way, however, making it a great way to move around the map, especially when coupled with Renjinzan. Shouryuusen is a spammable multi-target skill. However, that’s not only it! You can use Shouryuusen and press Dankuusen before the animation finishes and your character will automatically jump up into the air and slice through any enemies that were launched into the air by Shouryuusen. Pretty neat, isn’t it?

After that, I suggest getting 6 points into Hiken – Hayabusa, because 60 seconds for a weapon booster is always great! After that, I really suggest maxing Hiken – Ikaru, because it gives a really nice boost to minimum and maximum critical damage. After Ikaru is maxed, go with Bushin Shourai, because it gives a nice HP boost as well as a decent weapon attack boost. Those are always nice. After that, work on Sanrenzan, since it’ll still be your main skill to grind with. The extra multi-target DPS will be nice. After that, go with Dankuusen. It deals an ass whooping worth of damage on its own. Follow up with Shouryuusen, as the combination between it and Dankuusen will continue to get stronger. After that, finish up your booster or go with Hien, whatever floats your boat at this point.

The reason I suggest not putting points into Hien until late is because it’s just absolute crap at low levels. It’s not needed at all for low level maps, since most are flat, so there’s no dire need for vertical movement. It’s a fun skill and all, but until you get used to using it and until you max it, it’ll just be a huge annoyance. Many a times have I heard people complain about this skill, because it’s obnoxious at low levels. You can put more points into it at lower levels if you want to, but again… it’s not entirely necessary to have vertical movement at low levels. However, if you want a good use of the skill, press your Dankuusen hotkey after using Hien to move foward in mid-air. Alternatively, you can use any attacking skill while still in the air after using Hien to completely negate the delay on the skill.

Everything is maxed.

Explanation :

The third job build is a little tricky. I say save some points in the beginning for Shingitai because before level 5, it actually reduces your critical rate. You can put the points into it if you want, but I suggest waiting until you have 5 SP to dump into it before you touch it. I also suggest maxing the two supportive passives in the middle of the build because they help a lot with survival and potion consumption. If you don’t care about any of that, you can put those off until later. Sanrenzan’s boosts are minor in comparison to Senpuuzan, since Senpuuzan boosts three skills you will use instead of just one. The rest of the build is pretty self explanatory.

Senpuu no Yaiba isn’t all that great, really. It’s nice and does great damage, but it has a cool down that makes it less of a priority. Hikarasu isn’t really necessary to max early, so I put it off until the end. I didn’t notice any difference between level 1 and level 20, besides damage. Kurenai Jabaku is a damage over time skill and in my opinion, damage over time skills aren’t a necessary at anything but bosses, and you most likely won’t do much bossing before level 110, so I maxed that last. If you feel otherwise, however, feel free to max it sooner.

Explanation :

As with the previous job advancements, dump one point into your new attacking skills. They’ll be quite fun to play around with. 1 point in Gouken will help slightly with status effects – especially if you plan to grind at CWK with Master Guardians. Those guys seal like crazy. 1 point in Jinsoku will increase your dodge rate by 11%, which is a major plus. 1 point in Saki no Saki will give a small success rate to reflect damage dealt to you by any monster. It’s not big… but it helps. Unfortunately, this reflected damage doesn’t safeguard your HP. You’ll still receive full damage. After that, I suggest maxing Ittou Ryoudan. This is the best thing you can max. +35% ignore target defense and +30% damage is the biggest boost of your build. This is also the skill I suggest spending your free mastery book on it, assuming you make your character during the event period. After Ittou Ryoudan is maxed, I suggest going for Issen. When Issen is used, it will give you +45% critical rate for 40 seconds. This is huge. Any Hayato using this skill should have a 100% critical rate with this bonus applied. As I’ve said before, Critical Rate is perhaps one of the biggest boosts you can give to your DPS – especially when Hayato has a minimum critical damage of 135% and a maximum of 175%. That’s not even taking into account a possible Sharp Eyes buff you may receive at any given time.

After that, I suggest maxing Sanrenzan. It’s your best and main attacking skill and is your single highest single target DPS skill you have. After that, I suggest maxing Jinsoku. Jinsoku, when activated, reduces the damage you take by 35%. It also increases your dodge rate by 40%. This is huge. When you successfully dodge an attack, you have a 60% chance to receive a buff that increases your damage by 6%, which can stack up to 5 times, giving a total of 30% damage, so the more dodge you have, the higher chance you have to get a 30% damage boost. After Jinsoku, the normal is to go with Yousousen. Yousousen provides a lot of chaining abilities and can give a very nice DPS boost if used correctly (see JoeTang’s thread on skill chaining for details).

After Yousousen is maxed, I suggest going with Akatsuki no Yuusha. Akatsuki no Yuusha is Hayato’s version of Maple Hero. However, it does not require a skill book. For this reason, I personally maxed it sooner, because of skill book prices. However, if this is not an issue for you, this is the appropriate time to max it. +15% all stats is always a nice boost in damage. After that, pop 5 points into Akatsuki no Sakura, because around this level, it will be important for surviving any bosses you may face, as most bosses these days have Seduce. Having maxed Akatsuki no Sakura will help a LOT with surviving against Seduce.

After that, I suggest going with Guren Jabaku. This skill also does not require a mastery book, as it is only 10 points to max. However, it is not all that much of a damage boost over Kurenai Jabaku, which is why it is not maxed earlier in the build. After that, Saki no Saki is a nice damage boost, as any time you receive damage, you have a 20% chance to reflect the damage, dealing 195% of your damage range in damage. However, as I said before, it unfortunately does not safeguard your HP, which is why this is not maxed earlier. This skill also does not require a mastery book.

After Saki no Saki, I suggest going with Gouken, as it is the only viable skill left. It’s, at max, a 50% chance to ignore status effects and a 50% elemental resistance boost. It’s nice, but it’s not all that required, in comparison to earlier skills. After that, dump your remaining points into Shinsoku Musou. Shinsoku Musou is quite a useless skill, really. It’s fun and it does better damage than Sanrenzan at level 1. However, when maxed, Sanrenzan does better DPS and hits more times per second than Shinsoku Musou, rendering Shinsoku Musou pretty much useless. Basically, it’s a filler skill.
