Monk
The Monk is a melee unit from the Dynasty faction. They are equipped with the Monk Staff. |
Overview
The Monk is a large and tough melee unit of the Dynasty Faction. Their staff allows them to sweep attack, dealing with crowds and fodders alike. They have two attacks, hitting units with the long end of its Bō and hitting units with the short end of it.
Appearance
The Monk has a traditional BōW and has a conical Asian hat, Japanese lamellar armor parts (arms only), as well as a common samurai mask (Tengu mask). It is also wearing a Monk robe and some beads around its neck.

Usage
The Monk is very good at crowd control, thanks to its powerful swing with the Bō, which can wipe out groups of weaker units (Clubbers, Farmers). It can also knock enemies down onto the ground and away due to the high knockback that it has. It also excels fighting on maps that are littered with hazards (Dynasty), due to its high knockback.
Sadly, the damage of the Monk is rather limited. However, its health is excellent for its cost. This gives them the role of a hybrid tank and crowd control unit. It can soak up many hits from both ranged and melee units, while their crowd control distracts and holds back enemy melee units. This gives your ranged units much more time to target and destroy enemy units.
Trivia
- Like the Ninja, Samurai and a few other units, they were in the games files before The Dynasty Update.
- It is thought that this unit is a Shaolin Monk. However, this unit is a lot more Japanese, with a Bōw and a Tengu mask (both from Japan), whereas the Shaolin were Chinese.
