What Does Monk Do?
Monk is a ground-only melee Champion whose signature ability lets him block incoming damage for a short window, absorbing hits that would otherwise land on him. Once that window ends, he follows up with a powerful counterattack.
Timing his ability correctly can turn what looks like a losing trade into a decisive win, since troops that attack him during his block window deal little to no damage while he prepares his counter.
Where Monk Fits
He's a strong defensive Champion, since correctly timing his block ability lets him absorb a large hit and then punish the attacker in return, making him efficient against strong single-target attackers.
How to Counter Monk
Timing an attack to land outside his block window, or overwhelming him with more simultaneous damage than his ability can absorb, limits how much value he gets from it.
