Samurai

Samurai is a miniboss found on Stormy Tropics. He is fast and shoots out waves of flame every 1.5 seconds, which do around 70 burn damage. At close range he also shoots a vortex of fire, with a cooldown of 3 seconds, which does around 120 burn damage by itself. He has 1100 HP. He has a chance to drop 2 to 4 runes, Eternal Flame, and Kura Noki upon being killed.

Fighting
Samurai runs around you and shoots fire waves at you all the time. To dodge these, you run perpendicular to him, so in a circle around him. The biggest challenge for players is dodging the vortex of fire he uses at close range, because of it's range. It is, however, possible to completely evade even if he catches up to you, you need to go perfectly perpendicular to his vortex attack, and it will just barely miss you. Another alternative is to help yourself with a passive that buffs your speed, jump or defense. A few passives I would recommend are Electric Pulse, Light Path, Dark Path, Wind Current for speed, and Nature's Presence for defense. The loadout I would recommend is Root Emergence/Venomous Fangs, Flaming Wave, Infernal Burst, Flaming Pillars. The idea is to stun him first, then use flaming wave/infernal burst close to him, like a shotgun, and after that you use pillars. This combo needs to be executed fast because of the short duration of the stuns, thus it may take some time to master. A more advanced loadout would be Root Emergence/Venomous Fangs, Ice Shards, Glass Shards, Flaming Wave. Loadouts provided by Xdod.
