The Female Martial Artist (also known as the Brawler) is a Humanoid class in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. The Martial Artist is famous for being a starter class with a high counter and movement rate, along with being a good starting class to equip with Fists. A downside of this class, however, is that their Defense and Resistance often lags behind all their other stats, and the Aptitudes of these stats is low even for the higher tiers as well; so while they can cause a lot of damage, they also often can't take a hit, leaving them wide-open to being destroyed by strong attacks, especially from Magic users.
