Samir Tower of Fantasy: Weapon Stars EM double, Build, Matrices... How to play it?

Tower of Fantasy is available since August 11, 2022 and this new gacha game lets you experience a futuristic open-world adventure with an MMORPG aspect. Your goal is therefore not only to explore the different regions, to complete quests but also to summon characters and improve them. On ToF, the summoning system is a bit special and allows you to actually obtain weapons with various rarity levels: N - R - SR - SRR. Attached to these weapons are characters called Simulacrums only for SR and SSR rarities. Today, we're looking more specifically at Samir and his dual EM Stars weapon.

Samir: Presentation of the SSR and banner

Samir is part of the game's permanent banner (obtainable with Golden Nuclei) but you also have a low chance of getting him on the game's very first temporary banner (Nemesis), which lasts from August 11, 2022 (launch of the Thu) as of August 31, 2022.

The different skins

How is Samir/Stars EM double played and with whom/what weapon?

To start the adventure, Samir (or at least his weapon) is an excellent DPS who can fight from a distance and therefore limit damage if you are afraid of confronting enemies stronger than you. In addition, she is extremely skilled in dogfights with her two railguns. Lightning type, it is clearly one of the characters to prioritize if you have decided to summon Nemesis and use the elemental resonance of the latter. In short, mixing security and high damage, Samir is an excellent character to start with but who can also be kept later in the adventure or in multiplayer.

• His strengths : aerial damage, the safety of playing from a distance, his superb combo with Nemesis
• His weak points : Samir cannot break shields. In addition to Nemesis in your team, it is therefore advisable to take a breaker like KING who, in addition, has the Fire type.

For Double EM Star, it is recommended to put either a 4-piece Samir set on it in order to increase aerial damage even more.
