The '''Champion''' is the transcendent second class of the [[Monk]], advancing from the Acolyte and Monk lineage. Champions push the Monk's martial discipline to its absolute limit: faster combos, greater raw striking power, and the signature ability to draw on vast reserves of ki to unleash devastating techniques. Champions retain every skill from their Acolyte and Monk past and gain five new skills that define their offensive identity.
The '''Champion''' is the transcendent advancement of the [[Monk]]. It keeps every Acolyte and Monk skill and pushes the same three specializations one step further: the iron stance learns to hit back, the combo chain gains the links that let it loop, and the burst line finally gets a way to reload and to share what it builds.
 
Champion skills do not form a separate tree of their own. Each of them extends one of the Monk's branches, so a Champion build is decided at Monk and finished here.
 
* '''Iron Vow''' — the fighting tank, now with an attack that grows from the Champion's own defence.
* '''Rising Tempest''' — the combo chain, closed into a loop that can be sustained while spheres last.
* '''Final Breath''' — spirit-fuelled burst, with a full reload, a shared frenzy and a dedicated buff.

== Champion-Exclusive Skills ==
Iron Vow reaches its conclusion here. [[Tempered Will]] already let the Monk act inside [[Steel Body]]; Stone Fist gives that stance something worth doing, turning accumulated defence into an area strike that also holds a group's attention.

A custom Vortex Legends skill that slams a ki-charged fist into a target and everything around it, scaling with the Champion's own defence. Cast while [[Tempered Will]] is running it hits far harder, drags the monsters it strikes onto the caster and builds a stacking damage reduction.
&rarr; '''[[Stone Fist]]'''
<br style="clear:both"/>


A ki-charged palm strike usable only while under Explosion Spirits. The caster appears to absorb the blow momentarily before the real damage and knockback land '''one second later'''. Damage scales from 300% to 700% ATK across levels.
=== Rising Tempest ===


→ '''[[Raging Palm Strike]]'''
Rising Tempest becomes a loop. The two Champion links can follow the Monk's chain and each other, so the sequence no longer has to end after the finisher: it continues for as long as the sphere reserve holds, or until it is cashed in on the Monk's ultimate.


=== Tiger Fist ===

<br style="clear:both"/>


A combo blow that follows Chain Combo or Combo Finish. Deals 140% to 540% ATK, has a 20–60% chance to immobilize the target, and always applies '''Pressure Point''' — forcing the target to take +10% physical damage from this Champion for 5 seconds. Can chain into Chain Crush Combo or Asura Strike.

The Champion's multi-hit combo finisher. Usable after Chain Combo, Combo Finish, or Tiger Fist. Delivers 1 to 5 hits totalling 500% to 1400% ATK. After the attack, the Champion instantly recovers 1 Spirit Sphere and gains '''Zenith''' (+10% ATK for 10 seconds). Can chain into Asura Strike.

Final Breath gains everything it was missing.

A ranged ki blast that strikes everything in a 5×5 area. Scales with VIT and becomes dramatically stronger under both Steel Body and Tempered Will together.

Champion

The Champion is the transcendent advancement of the Monk. It keeps every Acolyte and Monk skill and pushes the same three specializations one step further: the iron stance learns to hit back, the combo chain gains the links that let it loop, and the burst line finally gets a way to reload and to share what it builds.

Champion skills do not form a separate tree of their own. Each of them extends one of the Monk's branches, so a Champion build is decided at Monk and finished here.

  • Iron Vow — the fighting tank, now with an attack that grows from the Champion's own defence.
  • Rising Tempest — the combo chain, closed into a loop that can be sustained while spheres last.
  • Final Breath — spirit-fuelled burst, with a full reload, a shared frenzy and a dedicated buff.

Specialization branches

Iron Vow

Iron Vow reaches its conclusion here. Tempered Will already let the Monk act inside Steel Body; Stone Fist gives that stance something worth doing, turning accumulated defence into an area strike that also holds a group's attention.

Stone Fist

Stone Fist
JobChampion
TypeActive (offensive)
TargetSingle enemy, 5×5 area
Max level5

A custom Vortex Legends skill that slams a ki-charged fist into a target and everything around it, scaling with the Champion's own defence. Cast while Tempered Will is running it hits far harder, drags the monsters it strikes onto the caster and builds a stacking damage reduction. → Stone Fist

Rising Tempest

Rising Tempest becomes a loop. The two Champion links can follow the Monk's chain and each other, so the sequence no longer has to end after the finisher: it continues for as long as the sphere reserve holds, or until it is cashed in on the Monk's ultimate.

Tiger Fist

Tiger Fist
JobChampion
TypeActive (offensive)
TargetSingle enemy
Max level5

Two fast blows that unbalance the target and may leave it unable to move. Used as a link in the chain it hits harder, comes out instantly and gains its immobilizing effect, and it can pass the chain on to Chain Crush Combo or to Asura Strike. → Tiger Fist

Chain Crush Combo

Chain Crush Combo
JobChampion
TypeActive (offensive)
TargetSingle enemy
Max level10

A flurry of rapid blows, and the piece that keeps the chain alive. Landing it as a combo gives back a spirit sphere and leaves the Champion in a brief surge of attack power, so the loop can turn back into Tiger Fist or end on Asura Strike. → Chain Crush Combo

Final Breath

Final Breath gains everything it was missing. Palm Strike gives the frenzy a heavy hit that costs no spheres, Dangerous Soul Collect refills the reserve in one cast, Power Implantation deepens the frenzy and lets it be handed to an ally, and Gentle Touch-Energy sharpens the sphere-throwing side of the branch.

Palm Strike

Palm Strike

Dangerous Soul Collect

Dangerous Soul Collect
JobChampion
