I this was at like level 30-32. I had to get this party around lvl 40 to beat it. I like that party but replace the black belt with a thief. It gives some extra defense and a little more black magic. And all the characters at the end of the game are red which is pretty cool i think.
Yeah, the BB has bad defense, and is prone to dying. That's why smart players use knights.

The thing to remember is this:
1. BB does the most damage, even more than a knight with Masmune at high levels like 45-50.
2. The game can easily be beaten with knights at lv. 30 or so by killing enemies and not taking personal damage, even if they don't overkill Worms by 200-300 damage.

So, you have a decision to make. Do you take the BB who will kill the bosses faster IF he's alive, because he will probably die, or do you take the knight who will kill the bosses unconditionally.

You know the answer.
