Cid Pollendina: Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Dark Knight (Final Fantasy III) page!
Please expand this article into a full one. The following tasks need to be completed:
  • making a 2D and 3D weapon/armor table like here. Equipment stats do not belong here since the weapons/armor should link to their respectable list of Final Fantasy III weapon/armor page..

This request can be discussed on the associated discussion page. Remove this notice upon completion.

3D Versions

The Dark Knight sacrifices 20% its current HP to attack all enemies, which can be useful for defeating enemies who multiply, and is at full damage no matter whether the Dark Knight is in front/back row. It can be used as a way to dispatch multiple enemies at once, but will not as useful for the bosses and later dungeons the party face. Souleater's maximum damage will reach 11350+.

Its damage is calculated using the following formula:

Damage Inflicted = Weapon Attack x 5 + JobLv x 10 + Current HP x 0.9
