Martial Artist

Dragon Quest III Martial Artist: Learn about their high Strength, Critical Hit chance formula (Level/256), and equipment limitations.

The Martial Artist class in Dragon Quest III excels in offense due to very high Strength and Critical Hit chances. Their unique critical hit formula is Level/256, capping at 25% when you reach Level 64. Martial Artists do not learn any spells and have no MP (Magic Points). They also boast high Agility growth, giving you a better chance to act first in combat.

However, the Martial Artist has significant drawbacks regarding equipment. They receive penalties if they equip anything other than Claws. Furthermore, they have limited defensive capabilities, particularly against spells and breath attacks.
