Monk
Learn how to effectively use the Monk job in Final Fantasy III. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, and the best strategies for combat, including its Retaliate ability and upgrade paths.
- 1The Monk is the traditional bare-fisted fighter.
- 2Without some of the end-game claws, you’re better off equipping nothing for highest attack power (that’s what “bare fists” means).
- The special Retaliate ability allows a Monk to take a hit and counter back for double the damage.
- It is recommended to avoid using Retaliate, as you can deal more damage in two turns.
- Monks are very powerful out of the box without you needing to grind for money to buy shiny weapons.
- Like the Warrior job, the Monk will eventually fall behind in power.
- The Black Belt job is a natural upgrade path when you obtain it.
Warrior
Learn how to effectively use the Warrior job in Final Fantasy III. Discover its strengths, weaknesses, signature ability 'Advance', and optimal weapon choices for early-game dominance.
- 1The Warrior job is designed to be bulky while maintaining strong attack power.
- 2Its signature ability is Advance, which sacrifices defense for a significant attack boost.
- 3The attack boost from Advance increases with the Warrior's job level.
- 4Warriors can equip a wide variety of weapons, allowing adaptation to different combat scenarios.
- 5The Warrior's effectiveness can be hampered in dungeons that require magic, especially when affected by the Mini status, which drastically reduces attack and defense.
- 6While physical classes become more viable later, the Warrior is often surpassed by other jobs that offer more specialized advantages.
- 7Despite being outclassed later, the Warrior's early availability means it can reach a high job level by the end of the game.
- 8At job level 99, Advance provides a x2.4 attack multiplier.
- Utilize the Advance ability strategically to maximize damage output, especially when defense is not a primary concern.
- Experiment with different weapon types (Knives, Swords, Bows, Axes) to find the best fit for various enemy encounters.
- Be mindful of situations where magic is required or when the Mini status effect might significantly impair the Warrior's performance.
