Martial Artist
This article is about the Hero Occupation. For a list of Martial Artists in the Badman franchise, see the category.
The Martial Artist (JP: ぶどうか) is a hero occupation introduced in No Heroes Allowed!. They are depicted as bald, bulky men that fight barehanded; their appearance somewhat resembles members of the skinhead subculture.
Gameplay
Martial Artists attack quickly with their bare hands, but tend to have very average movement speed. What defines them, however, is their Wakey Wakey skill, which is used when at half HP and mid or higher motivation. This drastically increases their stats all-around, with them blitzing across the dungeon and killing any monsters in their path at blinding speed. However, after 22 actions—such as movement, attacking, or using skills—the inverse occurs, making them weak and feeble for a limited time.
Martial Artists excel in any corridor, where they are free to blitz through with limited potential to be flanked. However, in water areas where Aquachnid family members can slow them down, Wakey Wakey can become a liability, as the speed increase hardly matters. Additionally, wide-open spaces where their AI can get confused can also turn Wakey Wakey into a Martial Artist's undoing.
Martial Artists are one of few heroes to not place Torches. This trait is shared with Shamans and Monster Hunters.
