Difference between revisions of "Monk (class)"

Monks combine [[Tekura]], [[Kaido]], and [[Telepathy]] to form a cohesive martial system, focusing on the output and manipulation of limb damage, often with the ultimate goal of finishing their foe via the {{skill|Backbreaker}}.

[[Tekura]] provides attacks suitable for targeting each limb, special types of "guards", and stances that manipulate the raw limb damage, guard proc chance, and more. Notably, it also provides them with their throwing attacks, of which Backbreaker (BBT) forms their common [[instakill]].

[[Kaido]] is powered by the resource [[kai]], an inner spiritual force. This skillset provides most of the Monk's defenses, including {{skill|Numbness}} and {{skill|Transmute}}, providing them with considerable [[Tanking|tankiness]] at the cost of slowing their offense slightly or using [[mana]]. Some of the most important skills in Kaido allow a Monk to break all four of a victim's limbs at once, or even set up a dangerous field of energy that will immediately kill anyone who strikes them.

[[Telepathy]] is both a ranged and melee utility skillset. It allows Monks to cripple opponents with multiple afflictions at once (via {{skill|Batter|Mind Batter}} or {{skill|Terror|Mind Terror}}), strip defenses, move them to the Monk's location, and more. Telepathy also features {{skill|Blank|Mind Blank}}, a passive debuff that provides a high chance to conceal which limb the Monk attacks.
