This is a page about the mechanics of Monk. If you are looking for origin, history, roleplay, or any other lore-related topic, see: [Monk (lore)].

Overview

A new Monk is advised to use the typical statpack, though they may change to something else later. Everyone receives one free reincarnation upon leaving novicehood (level 31), and if that is used up, another one upon reaching Tekal (level 99). It is common for people to keep an early statpack until reaching level 100.

Skills

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 [Numbness] and [Transmute], providing them with considerable 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 [Batter] or [Terror]), strip defenses, move them to the Monk's location, and more. Telepathy also features [Blank], a passive debuff that provides a high chance to conceal which limb the Monk attacks.
