FFIII NES Karateka

The Black Belt, also known as Karateka, is a job class in Final Fantasy III. It is gained from the Water Crystal in the NES version of the game, while it is gained from the Earth Crystal in the DS version. Black belts are masters of combat, able to use only their fists for massive damage. They are capable of linking their mind and body to store energy for an upcoming strike.

[edit] NES version

Storing up energy, the Black Belt will be able to do more damage, with the damage increasing even more if they are bare-handed. Using the command twice boosts the attack even more, but using it three times will hurt the Black Belt and release all the built-up energy.


[edit] DS version

Just like the NES version, Boost will increase the Black Belt's power, but hurt them if they use it three times.

Under the right circumstances, it is possible for a Black Belt to defeat Cloud of Darkness in a single hit.
