To change to the best Martial Artist class, it is recommended you start off as a Gadabout then become a Sage. Learn all of the possible spells from these two classes before changing to a Martial Artist. With this method, you have a Martial Artist that not only will deal high critical attacks, but can also cast spells!
Class Change Guide: How to Change Classes

Once you level up your Martial Artist, it can attack quicker and stronger than any of the classes in your party. It's an excellent damage-dealing class that you would want for your battles!
Best Party: Best Starting Party Members
The Martial Artist has an inherent high critical hit rate, which makes it easy to deal high damage attacks. However, keep in mind that Martial Artists are not that strong during the early stages, so only use it when you have enough in-game experience.
The Martial Artist class works best on the Female gender. Aside from the Vamp personality that's exclusive to females, the equipment. Dress of Light, is also a female-only equipment. This can enhance the Martial Artist's defense greatly.
