So you love dungeon-based adventuring and playing as different character classes with their own perks and skills? Well good news everybody, Desktop Dungeons: Rewind offers you multiple fun and unique playable folk. Boasting 16 classes, all offering different ways to play the game, and 4 unique monster classes that can be acquired by beating particularly dastardly dungeon-dwelling foes.
We'll be deep diving into each one on the road to launch, kickstarting with the Monk. Let's have a look at what traits and fighting styles a Monk has that can help you pave your path to glory and whatever monk-themed dreams you may dream.
Character Traits:
⚔️ Hand to hand: -2 base damage per level, -30% attack bonus.
⚔️ Discipline: health regen is doubled.
⚔️ Diamond body: 50% physical resistance increased cap.
Unlocking
Tier 3 Cathedral, unlocked after the priest.

We interrupt this class explanation to remind you about one of the coolest elements of Desktop Dungeon: Rewind - Regen Fighting. This is one common method of healing within the game, activated by discovering new tiles. But be mindful that it doesn't just up your HP, as it will also heal damaged creatures for their level of health each time a new tile is revealed.
Now back to our Monk friend and the perks they gain while regen fighting:
⚔️Take less damage from physical sources, and out-regens most enemies
⚔️Need to attack more due to Hand to Hand but they're able to...
⚔️Attack, regen, attack, regen...you get the picture.
In short, if you want to focus on regen-style fighting the Monk is the best class to use.
Best Kin for Monks
While Human is an option, Orc is the better choice, offsetting the lower base of damage of Hand to Hand with the conversion bonuses
We hope that you've learned a little bit more about the Monk and if you're thinking that this will be your main in the game, perhaps hold on for our next installment to see what other characters might pique your interest.
