Monk

With their bodies that double as deadly weapons, monks attack enemies with explosive strength.

The monk's primary role is that of damage dealer. They are the only job capable of using hand-to-hand weapons to their full effectiveness thanks to an A+ skill rating and the Martial Arts trait. The bulk of their damage comes from high attack speed and powerful weapon skills like Asuran Fists and Howling Fist. Monk's relatively high Evasion skill and their unique Guard skill and the Counter job trait allow them to be extremely effective Tanks, either by utilizing Ninja subjob or the Counterstance ability paired with the proper equipment setup.
