Longbow is an incredibly solid ranged weapon and has a D in Dex scaling at the start.

Uchigatana is one of the few Katanas in the game that can be useful dozens upon dozens of hours into the game.

This Samurai Build Build is written with starting gear in mind, but you can substitute any of the gear mentioned below with a stronger but similar alternative.

You should also check our other build guides on the best Vagabond Builds. That covers this guide on the best Samurai class builds in Elden Ring, and the best early game build. Even in the late game, there are only a few upgrades/changes that you will be looking to do to your character for armaments or armors. The default weapons and armor are more than enough for you to progress further in the game.

The game gives you almost everything you need at the beginning itself when you play a Samurai. And strength will improve your attack power. But also don’t ignore your Vigor and Strength completely, as having a decent amount of HP is never bad. Dexterity comes in handy for wielding advanced weapons. Focus your upgrades mainly on Endurance for more stamina. This character isn’t meant to tank attacks, but it compensates for it with speed and ranged attacks. When using samurai speed is your best friend. This armor is even more important if you don’t want to just play but even look like a Samurai. As for Armor, you don’t have many options but the default should be good enough even in the late game. While I have suggested some Shields above they really don’t go well with Samurai, you are better off not using them at all. Oh and don’t forget to wield your Katana using both your hands. And for versatility, you can try different bows and arrows as you get the advantage of using ranged attacks. It is best if you wield a Katana to get the authentic Samurai experience. Selecting weapons isn’t much of a hassle for the Samurai class due to the limited but strong options.
