The Drill to Earth's Core Samurai class is a Tier 5 class for melee fighting. It costs 30,000 Cores in the lobby's class shop and starts every run with Katana. On the class tier list it sits in S tier, from the one list that ranks it (Sportskeeda).
2,640 players held its Roblox class badge on 5 October 2026, the 22th-most of the 26 classes. Few players own it yet, partly because of its price. The classes hub compares all 26 side by side.

The perks are paraphrased from allthings.how's class list (24 September). Requirements come only from a dated or named source, shown after each one; Fandom's older class table predates several balance patches, so check the class menu in the lobby before you grind.
The Level 4 perk works for the whole team, not only you.
How to Unlock Samurai
Classes are bought with Cores at the class shop in the lobby. Sportskeeda and Deltia's Gaming say the shop restocks every 12 hours and Deltia's Gaming says the stock is random, so Samurai may not be for sale when you look; roonby adds that Tier 4 and Tier 5 classes show up less often. Check back after the next restock.
Every Tier 5 class costs 30,000 Cores: Goblin King, Gunsmith, Bounty Hunter, Pirate, Prospector, Executioner and Priest cost the same. Cores come from chests, boss walls, badges and codes; how to get Cores lists every source, and the code GAMENAME on the codes page gives 500 Cores.
Once you own more than one class, Fandom's Classes page says 2,500 Cores roll a random passive from another class you own onto the one you play.
Melee upgrades such as Sharpness (+20% melee damage per card) are on the upgrades page, and the items page lists sword damage where a source gives it.
