Pattern
Strategy & Tips
Pattern: Buff (Block 12 + Strength 2), 2x8, 2x8, Buff again, Attack 22. The Monk opens by gaining 12 block AND +2 Strength, so the first turn is hard to deal damage through. The double 2x8 hits on turns 2-3 deal 16 base, but with Strength that becomes 20 total each turn.
The 22-damage finisher on turn 5 hits even harder with accumulated Strength. Weakness counters the Strength buildup effectively. Chill is strong against the multi-hit turns, reducing each strike.
Use the buff turns to apply debuffs since damage against 12 block is partially wasted. At 80 HP, burst damage during attack turns can end this fight quickly. Poison ignores the Monk's block during buff turns.
Vulnerability helps maximize damage windows.
