A Martial Artist will sometimes go into a long period meditative isolation and re-emerge capable of dramatic feats of combat skill, earning the title of Monk. Monks achieve greater insight to the workings of their inner energy (or 'Ki') than the average bare-knuckle brawler, using it to heal allies, boost their own abilities or just kick people so hard their liver flies out their ear.
Strengths
- "You call dropping suns a martial art?" "Hey, as long as it works."
- Wide array of skills and capable of adapting to a variety of combat situations. They can be many things at once, ranging from Support, Damage Dealer and Tank.
- Body of Isesip makes a Monk able to become immune to damage for a few rounds, until they take damage repetitively. Great tool to fight against 1-shot builds.
- Golden Glow offers some extra physical/magical damage reduction, after Powering Up.
- Monks with enough WIL can also slightly heal their allies with Aid and offer them Woki whenever they're around, an Aura that increases STR/WIL.
- Power Up offers them an almost limitless source of FP recovery, but only as long as you have the Momentum for it.
- Ki Awoken is the ultimatum of a Monk's arsenal, your HP will be rapidly depleted over, time but all of your statistics will greatly increase. Hooryaaaah!!!
Drawbacks
- They can be every combat role at once, but they're not good at anything.
- Ki is another resource that needs to be managed, so a bad management of Ki can ruin their damage/utility sharply.
- Several stats must be raised somewhat evenly to get full use from all Monk skills.
- They may take several rounds to generate Ki, and Ki is easier to be spent than generated.
- Kadouha, while being the second fanciest-looking skill, is too 'costy' for what it actually does.
- May or not be a drawback, but Setting Sun's whole animation takes over 6 seconds to complete, and this may make PvE fights a bit slower, if you are impatient.
Unlocking
To unlock Monk, you must use Meditate while your HP is full (on the first round), while having at least 20 Levels in Martial Artist.
