===Usefulness===
===Usefulness===
After the events in [[Dharma]], the warrior is a useful class to become because of the strength increase that it affords. Among the skills that the warrior learns, Hatchet Man is by far the most useful. Although it misses half the time, when it does connect, it is a critical hit, making short work of [[Metal Slime|Metal Slimes]]. The Dragon Slash is also good for dragon bosses that the player encounters.

The Dragon Slash is also good for dragon bosses that the player encounters.


For hybrid skills, the two most useful ones are Sword Dance, which requires both a mature warrior and a mature [[Dancer]], and Thief Hit, which requires a mature warrior and a mature [[Thief]]. Sword Dance attacks four times with 0.75 percent power, making useful for boss fights as it is like attack for 300 percent power. It is also the most cost effective skill in the game as it doesn't require any MP to use. Thief Hit is useful because it steals from enemies, making it a nice skill to have if the player is looking for a particular item. However, the chance of stealing is rather low.

Regarding evolution, the Warrior can combine the mastered [[Mage]] class and become an [[Armamentalist]]. The 'mentalist has access to some elemental slashes and the extremely powerful spell Kafrizzle. The Warrior can also combine the mastered [[Martial Artist]] class and become a [[Gladiator]]. The Gladiator has stronger attacks including Quad Hits. After the Dragoon class is mastered, the Dragoon can then become a [[Godhand]] as long as the [[Paladin]] class is also mastered. The Godhand has several powerful attacks culminating with Ultrahit, a must for beating the final bosses in the game.
