Facts about the Black BeltMaster
The Black Belt may seem weak at first but when you get him to level 10 watch his attack strength sky rocket The Black Belt039s DAMAGE rating is always equal to double his level unless he has a weapon equipped So basically don039t equip any weapons on him Same goes for his defence His ABSORB the defence level is always equal to his level unless he has armor equipped So when you get him to level 50 his ABSORB will be 50 which is pretty good considering the highest a Knight can get is 74 so the Black BeltMaster is the best character to have He requires no armor or weapons You can test this yourself Get a Master at L50 and a Knight at L50 and the Knight equipped with the Masamune Cast FAST on them both or not The Master will do far more damage than your Knight I039ve checked this myself
