The Samurai class has a Longbow as one of its initial weapons, allowing long-distance battles from the outset. In addition, his Dexterity is high, and it can be said that he has an advantage in that respect. There is no doubt that Samurai is one of the best classes in Elden Ring.
Try to invest Runes up to 20 in Vigor to be safe. In any case, it never hurts to have more HP. Also, the Endurance stat starts at 13, which is relatively high compared to other classes, so it is not necessary to give priority to that (but level it up appropriately as needed).
After securing a decent amount of Vigor, start focusing on Dexterity. Of course, it is not always necessary to get your Vigor exactly to 20, so it is recommended to invest in it appropriately along the way. Then, if you improve your Dexterity and make use of Dexterity-scaling weapons, you will become a high-level specialized Samurai.
