Samurai
The samurai is a helper that deals damage.

The samurai is a helper that deal damage based on its current level as well as a percentage of the maximum amount of damage ever did by the player on any given run. The samurai activates its ability every second to deal a given amount of damage.

• Base Damage: $\operatorname{floor}\left(5\cdot1.05^{L}\right)+5\cdot L$
  • L = Helper Level
• Percent Damage: $\operatorname{floor}\left(M\cdot U\cdot0.01\right)$
  • M = Max Damage Dealt
  • U = Damage Upgrade
• Total Damage: $\left(B+P\right)\cdot H$
  • B = Base Cube Production
  • P = Percent Cube Production
  • H = Helper Helper Multiplier (1.0 if not unlocked)

Base Damage

Level	0	50	100	150	200
Damage	5	307	1.16k	8.29k	87.46k

• Helper Level Up Time (Result is in seconds): $30\cdot1.03^{L}\cdot\left(1-D\right)\cdot\left(1-C\right)$
  • L = Helper Level
  • D = Starter pack bonus (0.1) otherwise 0.0
  • C = Challenge bonus (0.001x), x is total Robot Challenges completed
• Formula for time between starting level and end level (Result is in seconds): $\int_{s}^{g}30\cdot1.03^{x}\cdot\left(1-D\right)\cdot\left(1-C\right)dx$
  • D = Starter pack bonus (0.1) otherwise 0.0
  • C = Challenge bonus (0.001x), x is total Robot Challenges completed
  • s = Starting level
  • g = Ending level
• Tips
  • Samurai should not be updated after Magician is unlocked, the Magician should be updated instead. It's base damage will have little impact on challenge completions later on it does not provide scaling with the percent damage dealt. The Magician is useful in several challenges and plays a massive role in making the Helper Helper useful (Check the tips at the bottom of the Helper Helper page to understand this interaction). This is because The Magician can be used to reach 1B cubes faster to unlock the percent Samurai damage negating its base damage.
