Gladiator

For Monks looking to maximize their physical damage output. Use the "barehanded glitch" (weapon in first slot, empty second slot) to reap the benefits of the Fist skills while still calculating off your weapon's ATK stat. Breakfire Fist will still be your bread-and-butter attack.

• Berserker Vow and Charge are physical damage boosting staples.
• Crushing Blow, Arm Breaker and Freezing Blow give more offensive options and complement the fire coverage from Breakfire Fist.
• White Flame can protect the Monk from being disabled by status ailments.
  
  

Prince/Princess

The quintessential supportive combo that maximizes regenerative healing and frees up the Monk to augment the party with the other Order buffs. Monk/Sovereigns eschew direct combat as they have their hands full maintaining buffs mid-battle.

• The Monk's Form Qi class passive also applies to the healing from Protect Order, which makes for very potent end-of-turn healing.
• Buff the party on turns where healing is not needed.
  
  

Zodiac

A variation of the offensive Monk setup, focused on maximizing damage output from Breakfire Fist.

• Etheric Charge, Fire Mastery and Singularity augment the damage you do, especially on enemies weak to fire.
• If you need to diversify your damage, you can invest in the other elemental Star skills.
