Tips for Increasing AP in Samson

Effectively managing Action Points (AP) in the game Samson is essential for success. Each task you undertake, including the main missions, consumes AP. Failing to allocate these points wisely could leave you low on funds to settle your debts.

Players are allocated a fixed total of six AP daily, which can be enhanced indirectly through specific skills within your skill tree. Below, we provide a comprehensive guide on how to optimize your AP usage in Samson.

Maximizing Action Points in Samson: Your AP Strategy

Each day is segmented into three parts: Noon, Evening, and Night, providing 2 AP for each segment, summing up to the daily limit of six. Most jobs, including main story tasks, require 2 AP to complete, and you advance to the next part of the day after either completion or failure.

On a typical day, you can accomplish a minimum of three jobs to earn some income. However, progressing the main story is also vital. It’s crucial to maintain a balance between fulfilling your financial obligations and completing jobs. This ongoing need to pay your dues can be challenging, but certain skills in the skill tree can help you maximize your AP and enable you to tackle more jobs effectively.

To explore skill enhancements, head to the in-game menu and navigate to the skills tab. Skills are divided into four main trees: Instinct, Tactics, Aggression, and Cunning. Notably, each category contains at least one skill that impacts AP. Below is a summary table detailing these skills and their effects:

Skill Name	Skill Category	Effect
Streetwise	Instinct	After a failed job, your next job that same day costs -1 AP.
On a Roll	Tactics	If you made a successful payment the previous day, gain 1 bonus AP at night.
Sleep of the Just	Tactics	If you go to sleep with at least 1 AP remaining, you gain 1 bonus AP at the start of the next day.
Night Owl	Aggression	Once per night, you can start a job even with insufficient AP as long as you have at least 1.
Carpe Diem	Cunning	If you haven’t paid your dues, your first job the next day costs -1 AP.

While the Streetwise skill might seem beneficial, it often falls short since a -1 AP reduction might not suffice if you only have a couple of 2 AP jobs available during the day.

The On a Roll skill, however, stands out as it rewards you with an additional AP for successful repayments, enhancing your earning potential significantly. Pairing this skill with Sleep of the Just allows you to continually maximize your bonus AP for future tasks.

Night Owl aligns well with both On a Roll and Sleep of the Just, enabling you to take on jobs that require more AP. If you opt not to acquire all of these AP-influencing skills, then Carpe Diem is a solid alternative, effectively granting you at least 1 AP for your first task each day, even if you deliberately miss a payment.
