Diablo Immortal, the recently released free-to-play, massively multiplayer online action role-playing game, has already garnered attention from both mobile and PC fans.

Chronologically, Diablo Immortal is set between Diablo II and Diablo III. The game blends in the sober tone of the former with the vibrant art style of the latter. The game launches with six playable familiar classes from previous entries in the franchise.


Diablo Immortal class Monk - Primary Attack and Skills

The Monk class was first introduced as part of Diablo and later made a return in Diablo III. The class is themed around martial arts, as it blends elemental attacks with agile forms of attack. The core element of the melee-based class is to be fast and agile, while also having great mobility, allowing players to dash around enemies and move quickly through the battlefield.

As one of the six playable classes of Diablo Immortal, this fast and agile class stands in stark contrast to the heavier Barbarian and Crusader classes. The class unlocks the Fist of Thunder Primary Attack along with Cyclone Strike and Flying Kick as Skills at Level 1. With that being said, let’s take a look at the different Primary Attacks and Skills for the Monk class in Diablo Immortal.

Primary Attacks

  • Fist of Thunder (level 1) - A teleporting punch that jumps you to an enemy for three hits before you can teleport again.
  • Deadly Reach (level 34) - A ranged attack that damages a target and transmits partial damage to enemies behind it.

Skills

  • Cyclone Strike (level 1) - A chargeable attack that pulls in enemies and deals damage.
  • Flying Kick (level 1) - A targeted, ranged kick that damages enemies and knocks them away.
  • Seven-Sided Strike (level 3) - Move rapidly within an area to damage the enemies contained within it.

  • Shield of Zen (level 28) - A shield that can be used by the Monk or given to an ally which absorbs damage for a short time. Using it on an ally transports you to their location and gives you both the shield.
