Careers Advisor

A Martial Artist has the greatest amount of HP, combined with the best recovery rate, allowing them to fight well without requiring medical attention from a doctor.

A Martial Artist also has good physical and magical defense, and can protect team members in dangerous areas from enemies of both the sword and magic-wielding variety. A Martial Artist has some offensive skills particularly effective against other players.

In an arena fighting other player characters, a Martial Artist can utilize their abilities to the full extreme.
