Monk Skills, Abilities & Treasures
A searchable guide to the Monk’s healing-and-striking ability tree, Tao Lu technique skill, HP track, and treasure choices through character level 24.
Last reviewed: September 26, 2026
How progression works
Character level and card level are different. Treasures arrive at fixed character levels, while even character levels award a point that you decide how to spend.
Gain one character point at every even character level from 4 through 24. Spend it on an ability, the Monk skill, or an HP upgrade.
Choose one of two treasures at every odd character level from 5 through 23.
The skill ends at tier 3. HP may be upgraded four times. A second ability follows the same Monk ability tree.
A completed level-24 build can have two max-level abilities, a max-level skill, and four HP upgrades.

Begin with recovery, combine offense and healing through Qi, then specialize toward restoration, balance, or direct damage. Use this same tree when developing the Monk’s second ability.
