View source for Category:Samba

Sambas are a class of [[Dancer]] abilities that inflict a [[Daze]] specific to the Samba in use on the enemy the user is meleeing. All Sambas cost TP and all share a common recast timer (1:00).

The Samba [[Daze]] effect lasts 10 seconds after the last regular melee swing landed (even if for 0) and gives the user and any members of the user's party hitting the same monster a positive status effect that depends upon which Samba was used. Only one Samba [[Daze]] can be in effect, even if multiple party members are using Sambas. The most recent Samba takes priority.

Drain and Aspir Sambas restore a certain range of MP/HPs that depends on the post-[[Haste]] [[Attack Speed|attack speed]] of the player and damage done. Though named "Drain" or "Aspir" these Sambas do not do damage and there's no evidence to show they reduce MP.

[[Haste Samba]] inflicts [[Haste Daze]]. Anyone successfully meleeing a monster with [[Haste Daze]] on receives 5% [[Job Ability Haste]] on their attack round.

== Enhancing Samba ==
The effect of Samba can be enhanced in two ways:
* Increasing duration: Samba duration can be increased using various equipment (listed below), [[Saber Dance]] merits (with Saber Dance up), and through [[Job Points]].
* Increasing potency: The only Samba whose potency can be increased at the moment is [[Haste Samba]], which can be increased up to 10% (101/1024) Haste through merits.
