Black Mage (Tactics Advance)



The Black Mage (黒魔道士) is a job in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance suited for Humans, Moogles, and Nu Mou who are able to learn Black Magic as a basic job. Nu Mou are better suited to be raised as Black Mages because their magic power growth is better than that of Moogles and Humans.

Black Mages can be one of the most powerful classes early on if raised right and have the right equipment. One combination you as a player should try is equipping a Black Robe and having the S-Ability Turbo MP from the White Mage class. Another idea would be to use the Magic Pow+ ability from the Alchemist class. An important thing to remember is what elemental rod the Black Mage will be using, as the correct rod will enhance the power of the spell (i.e. Flame Rod enhances Firaga).

Human
Human Black Mages are less powerful but slightly faster than Nu Mou Black Mages. While most of their stats are mediocre compared to other Human jobs, they have high MP, exceptional Magic Power, and the highest Resistance of all Human jobs.

Moogle
The Moogle race is very handicapped when it comes to magic users. Everything the Moogle Black Mage can do, either the Human or Nu Mou Black Mage can do better. This also extends to the Moogle's advanced magic job, the Time Mage, which is completely overshadowed in every stat except defense by the Nu Mou Time Mage.

Nu Mou
The Nu Mou Black Mage is simply superior to both the Human and Moogle Black Mages in every way that subjectively matters. The difference in HP, Speed, and Attack between the three are marginal at best, and there is a substantial increase in MP, Magic Attack, and Resistance, making Nu Mou Black Mages the most powerful of the three. It should also be noted that Nu Mou Black Mages have the highest Resistance in the game, tied with Moogle Gadgeteers.
