The '''Martial Artist''' (武闘家, ''Butouka'') is a class in the | The '''Martial Artist''' (武闘家, ''Butouka'') is a class in the {{DQSeries}}. Practitioners of the way of the fist possess high {{Agility}}, {{Resilience}}, and {{Strength}}, but zilch for magical capability. | ||
==Characteristics== | ==Characteristics== | ||
Martial artists have a great amount of | Martial artists have a great amount of {{Agility}} and {{Strength}}, as befitting a life dedicated to physical fitness. They can deal devastating amounts of damage from a single strike, but their equipment pool is much more limited than that of a [[Warrior]]'s. For example, if equipped with any weapon other than a claw in {{III}} a Martial Artist's abilities will actually decrease as his or her {{Attack}} power will lower considerably. Compared to other vocations, Martial Artists have a very limited armor selection, particularly when it comes to shields and headwear. This can be a boon to the party's finances as unlike Warriors, it is not necessary to continuously upgrade the Martial Artist's equipment. Most of their armour consists of lightweight vests and other clothing designed for ease of movement, as heavier armour would interfere with their mobility and hamper their fighting style. | ||
A pugilist has a higher chance of scoring a [[Critical Hit|critical hit]] on an enemy than other vocations, with their ratio being dependent on their level instead of staying at the standard fixed {{fraction|1|64}} chance that is common throughout the series. In all versions of {{III}} the formula is '''LvL/256''', capping once the martial artist reaches level 64 (25%). For {{VI}} and {{VII}} the formula is dependent on the character's rank in the vocation, capping at {{fraction|1|8}} when the vocation is mastered. Critical hits utilize a character's [[Deftness]] in {{IX}} and subsequent titles, with Martial Artists receiving no special treatment other than a high aptitude for the stat. | |||

Latest revision as of 19:48, 12 November 2024
The Martial Artist (武闘家, Butouka) is a class in the Dragon Quest series. Practitioners of the way of the fist possess high Agility, Resilience, and Strength, but zilch for magical capability.
Characteristics[edit]
Martial artists have a great amount of Agility and Strength, as befitting a life dedicated to physical fitness. They can deal devastating amounts of damage from a single strike, but their equipment pool is much more limited than that of a Warrior's. For example, if equipped with any weapon other than a claw in III a Martial Artist's abilities will actually decrease as his or her Attack power will lower considerably. Compared to other vocations, Martial Artists have a very limited armor selection, particularly when it comes to shields and headwear. This can be a boon to the party's finances as unlike Warriors, it is not necessary to continuously upgrade the Martial Artist's equipment. Most of their armour consists of lightweight vests and other clothing designed for ease of movement, as heavier armour would interfere with their mobility and hamper their fighting style.
A pugilist has a higher chance of scoring a critical hit on an enemy than other vocations, with their ratio being dependent on their level instead of staying at the standard fixed 1⁄64 chance that is common throughout the series. In all versions of III the formula is LvL/256, capping once the martial artist reaches level 64 (25%). For VI and VII the formula is dependent on the character's rank in the vocation, capping at 1⁄8 when the vocation is mastered. Critical hits utilize a character's Deftness in IX and subsequent titles, with Martial Artists receiving no special treatment other than a high aptitude for the stat.

Usefulness[edit]
The M.A.'s skill Wind Sickles is worth learning as it grows in strength the higher the level. In terms of development, the M.A. is required in order to become a Gladiator and Paladin. The great thing about Martial Artists is that these two classes combine to make a Godhand. The Godhand is worth investing some time and battles in getting if the player is looking to go to the []bonus dungeon]]s.
The M.A.'s hybrid skills are not very exciting except for Jock Dance. However, Roundhouse does the same thing and it doesn't require changing into a Dancer to do so.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]
The Martial Artist vocation is available at the start of the game and has the unique skill set "Focus". Martial Artists can also use skill points to learn Fans, Staves, Claws, and Fisticuff skills, having expanded their selection of weapons considerably from the days of III. Their Coup-de-Grace is Roaring Tirade, which terrorizes all enemies and raises tension by one level. As mentioned above, a Martial Artist is no more likely to land a Critical Hit than a character with the same Deftness stat.
