FFIII NES Viking

The Viking is a job class in Final Fantasy III. It is gained from the Water Crystal. Vikings swing giant hammers and axes with ease. Their only drawback is that they develop more slowly than other melee jobs.

[edit] Abilities

[edit] NES version:

  • Special Ability - None

The Viking doesn't actually have a special ability, keeping the Defend command instead.


[edit] DS version

The Provoke command increases the chance of a target enemy attacking the Viking. In addition, it also lowers the enemy's defense, making them more vulnerable. It is best used when the Viking is in the back row, to minimize damage. The Viking could easily be turned into a meat shield by equipping two shields, placing it in the back row, and then using Provoke to divert all the damage to it while being healed by a White Mage.
