Quick Build
- Recommended Build
- Asura Strike burst, same core as Monk
- Playstyle
- Same fastest-ASPD-in-the-roster identity, with a stronger combo chain between Asura casts
- Difficulty
- Same as Monk — the new kit is additive
- Primary Stats
- STR, AGI, DEX — unchanged from Monk
- Primary Weapon
- Knuckle (fist weapon) — same as Monk
- Best For
- Monk players who want their Asura rotation to have less downtime
- Strengths: Hyper Spirit Sphere converts SP into extra Spirit Spheres, directly refilling what Asura Strike consumes; Chain Crush Combo and Glacier Fist give you real damage between Asura casts instead of just auto-attacking.
- Weaknesses: Knuckle's own size-attack penalty (confirmed on the Monk guide) is unchanged — only Asura Strike itself is exempt from it, same as before.
What Changes From Monk
Champion keeps every skill Monk has — Iron Fists, the Spirit Sphere kit, the full
combo chain, Steel Body/Mental Strength, and Asura Strike itself, all of it, unchanged.
This server's job data confirms Champion's Knuckle mastery factor is still 475 — the
fastest ASPD factor in the roster, exactly matching Monk. Rebirth adds four new skills
(CH_ prefix): Raging Palm Strike, Glacier Fist, Chain Crush Combo, and Hyper
Spirit Sphere.
New Skills
Priority
- Hyper Spirit Sphere (requires Summon Spirit Sphere 5, Absorb Spirit Sphere 1, Fury 5) — converts SP directly into extra Spirit Spheres. This is the standout new skill for an Asura-focused build — it shortens the downtime between casts.
- Chain Crush Combo (requires Iron Fists 5, Summon Spirit Sphere 5, Glacier Fist 2) — extends your existing Triple Attack → Chain Combo → Combo Finish chain further. Real sustained damage between Asura windows.
Useful
- Glacier Fist (requires Iron Fists 5, Raging Triple Blow 5, Summon Spirit Sphere 5, Combo Finish 3) — a physical strike with a freeze/bind chance. Also Chain Crush Combo's prerequisite.
Situational
- Raging Palm Strike (requires Iron Fists 7, Summon Spirit Sphere 5) — a single-target strike, decent early burst before your full Asura rotation is built out, secondary once it is.
Equipment & Cards
No new weapon type is introduced by Rebirth — your Knuckle and card choices from the Monk guide carry forward unchanged.
Party Role & PvM
Same burst-damage role as Monk, now with meaningfully less downtime between Asura Strike casts thanks to Hyper Spirit Sphere — a real quality-of-life and DPS improvement for exactly the build this class was already running. Chain Crush Combo gives you something substantial to do while spheres regenerate.
