Monk

[WhiteNinjer]

I've now beaten the game on normal with every class but monk. Trying multiple different builds, the best I've ever done is make it to Harbringer, but I didn't even really have a chance. I know in a few occassions I've just gotten no love from RNGesus, but maybe there is a really good combo or playstyle I'm missing out on? Any tips would be appreciated!

remove attack cards, upgrade chi charge and iron fist cards.

Basically what Baron said. Prune your deck as much as possible and my own suggestion is to try and save up some gold for level 3 and cycle merchants to pick up as many Seven palm strikes as you can possibly get.

Also if you get lucky and get the rogue companion card copy another seven palm strike. Sure it takes some luck but you can hilariously decimate Harbringer like that. Your going to want a healthy pool of Ap to spam palm strike.

Yeah, I got something similar, almost got Harbringer but he just happened to be immune to the orb type I was packing. I had four lvl2 Retaliates early too, suprisingly easy to build mana with charge around it. Still no victory though. That's the plan I've been rocking though, I'll keep it at.

Monks benefit from a thin deck, and can absolutely wreck anything with multiple palm strike cards.

Honestly, I've ran the last three monks through as complete bosses, total wreck shows and I have gotten harbringers with armour 2 each time, and it seems to completely negate palm strike and it makes no sense to me because it's supposed to do 3-5 but it kept hitting for zero. That doesn't even include the weakened stacks.

The only way you should be getting 0's is if he hit you with cold attacks that weakened you, or that he played a guardian card, Or a bulwark card to neutralize physical damage. Each hit of seven palm strike should apply 1 weakness so each hit should be doing more than the last as +1 weakness per hit adds up real quick with multiple palm strikes.

I know, that's why I was frustrated. I'll try and get a screenshot if it happens again. Gonna give it one more college try.

Monk took me a three games to beat it. That was using the retries too on Harbinbger lol.

Now all classes beaten in normal. Time to do Legendary! I like the new expansion class that helps you get tons of gold. Good for buying Legendary items.

On my second run I won against harbinger with my monk. I had many card draw, 2x times the card that let you draw a card, gain 20% health and be immune to physics for one round. and had 1 card in my deck that let me draw and every damage reduced to 15 for one turn. And of course the card that doubles the damage + the card that gives you ap and use all your ap to make damage. Was almost full health as I won.
