Subjective Analysis

Employing one of the best ability sets and the strongest physical attack in the game, the Monk is an extremely useful class. Most of their primary abilities are destructive on the enemy from distance and the others are effective at healing and curing allies, making the Monk very versatile. One of their drawbacks is the inability to equip hats, resulting in a HP deficit compared to other front-line fighters; however, they can be tanked up with the Knight's Equip Armor support ability.

The Monk has one of the best ability sets in the game, possibly the best given that you can unlock it early and use it effectively the entire way through. Earth Slash hits multiple enemies from far away, and Wave Fist is also powerful and more precise for avoiding friendly fire. Chakra, Revive, and Stigma Magic all help the Monk heal its allies. The Monk's reaction abilities are very powerful as well, especially Hamedo. Counter is a little more reliable and strong as well.
