With their bodies that double as deadly weapons, Monks (MNK) attack enemies with explosive strength. They are close combat specialists and in using their Hand-to-Hand skills, they wreak havoc with fast and furious punches. Through prolonged meditation and training, they can expand their arsenal to incorporate devastating kicks too. A mark of a Monk's expertise is the belt that they wear aroud their waist. New players begin with a White Belt whereas a Monk who has mastered his role, may be found wearing the elusive Black Belt.
Preserving Final Fantasy tradition, Monk retains many classic abilities including Martial Arts, Chakra, Max HP Boost, and Counter. Complete with a full set of powerful weapon skills, Monks are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
