I have martial artist unlocked but mercenary has a higher strenght stat. but martial arts have something like 10% more damage from tech skills. not sure what class i should let my emperor go into as martial artist

Mind you, we aren't sure of how much they have changed from the earlier games.
But if it works the same, the class are kind of tied to what glimmers a character can get.
Not really the class, but actually a hidden Type, but they are pretty much conformed around the classes. i.e. you can get a mage with super high martial arts skill, but it will never glimmer any martial art abilities outside of the base basics.
BUT. If you already have all the glimmers you want for martial arts, you really don't need to use a martial artist.
