Alright for those who play Atlantica Online, the purpose of a monk can be quite confusing. A monk is present in almost every formation. Even the top players have a monk. There are some that do not use monks but the reasion is because they use scrolls to compensate. There are 4 skills that monks have.
1. Awakening
Sets the stun counter to 0 and also heals slightly.
2. Holy Gaurd
With this skill, your mercs will be immune to every magic skill. Heals the mercs slightly every turn.
3. Protect
The main character will receive bonus defense and will get healed every turn as long as the monk is not silenced/stunned/sealed/frozen.
4. Shield of Protection
Heals the main character whenever he or she is damaged by physical attacks.
-Okay so what is so great about these skills?
Well these skills are universally used that people often get 2 monks.
-Alright I have a monk now. What do i do?
Well you want to max shield of protection. Make awakening lvl 11 so the skill doesn't miss and put the rest of the points in holy gaurd.
-Hmm double monk formation interests me. What should i do for them?
For one monk, do the same thing answered in the previous question. On the other monk, you want to set protect to lvl 1 since the healing amount in lvl 1 and lvl 60 is negligible. Holy gaurd should be maxed and the rest to awakening.
-Okay any tips on double monk formation?
In pvp it is crucial to holy gaurd one of the monks since almost every one has a exorcist (mana seal). Do not place the monks on the same row since stun can penetrate holy gaurd.
-Uh I still dont like monk that much. How can i still compete without one?
This option requires a bit of money. You have to buy awakening scrolls which are cheap in some servers and expensive in others. Use the awakening scroll when ur mercs have a stun counter of 1 (when your mercs get attacked once). If the scroll is used with a stun counter of 2, the scroll may not be triggered.
Benfits of Single Monk
This build is average and only requires some scroll usage at higher divs. You have room for more mercs to damage.
Benefits of Double Monk
This build allows you to do double holy gaurd and double awakening. Scroll are not needed unless if the opponent is a massive stunner. Less room for mercs doing damage. The main character can tank no matter what level because of SoP and protect.
Benefits of no Monk
You have a lot of mercs that can cause damage. Massive scrolling is required.
