'''Master Monk''' is a Job in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift]]'', usable by the [[Bangaa]] only. It is an upgrade of the [[White Monk (Tactics A2)|White Monk]] Job, and is able to perform various up-front actions, such as bypassing an enemy's counterattack with Cross-Counter, while dealing massive damage at the same time, and attacking twice in one turn with Pummel. Although Master Monks can wield [[pole]]s, their attack is far superior when bare-handed (with the exception of the weapon Whale Whisker, which will raise Attack by 17), comparable to that of Gladiators, Snipers or Dragoons.

'''Master Monk''' is a [[bangaa]] [[Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift jobs|job]] in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift]]'' and an upgrade of the [[White Monk (Tactics A2)|White Monk]] job.
   
  +
==Profile==
Their healing abilities far surpass that of White Monks, and this makes them ideal fighters on the front lines, especially since they can equip two shields with the Shieldbearer Passive ability, which when coupled with their naturally high Evasion can mean they are able to have a 50% hit probability rate. This is saying nothing on the fact that their Attack power is far stronger when not equipped with any weapons. A downside should be mentioned that they do not have a good ranged game, as they have only two ranged attacks, one with 50% Accuracy or less, and the other stands two square in front of them. For this reason they are often paired with white monk as a secondary job.
 
 
Master Monk's main skillset is [[Martial Arts (Tactics A2)|Martial Arts]], and it can perform various up-front actions, such as bypassing an enemy's counterattack with Cross-counter while dealing massive damage and attacking twice in one turn with Pummel. Although Master Monks can wield [[pole]]s, their attack is superior when [[Unarmed (weapon)|bare-handed]] (with the exception of the weapon [[Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift weapons/Bludgeoning weapons#Whale Whisker|Whale Whisker]], which will raise Attack by 17), comparable to that of [[Gladiator (Tactics A2)|Gladiators]], [[Sniper (Tactics A2)|Snipers]] or [[Dragoon (Tactics A2)|Dragoons]].
   
 
Their healing abilities surpass those of White Monks making them ideal front line fighters, especially since they can equip two shields with the [[#Shieldbearer|Shieldbearer]] passive ability, which when coupled with their naturally high [[Evasion]] can mean they evade half of all hits against them. Their Attack power is stronger when not equipped with weapons. A downside is that they do not have a good ranged game, as they have only two ranged attacks, one with 50% Accuracy at best and the other stands two squares in front of them. Thus they are often paired with White Monk as a secondary job.
==Requirements==
 
*'''To Unlock''': Complete '''Banbanga!'''
 
*'''To Use''': Master 2 [[Warrior (Tactics A2)|Warrior]] A-Abilities and 2 [[White Monk (Tactics A2)|White Monk]] A-Abilities

Template:Sideicon

The martial arts of the master monk are without equal.

Description

Master Monk is a bangaa job in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift and an upgrade of the White Monk job.

Profile

Master Monk's main skillset is Martial Arts, and it can perform various up-front actions, such as bypassing an enemy's counterattack with Cross-counter while dealing massive damage and attacking twice in one turn with Pummel. Although Master Monks can wield poles, their attack is superior when bare-handed (with the exception of the weapon Whale Whisker, which will raise Attack by 17), comparable to that of Gladiators, Snipers or Dragoons.

Their healing abilities surpass those of White Monks making them ideal front line fighters, especially since they can equip two shields with the Shieldbearer passive ability, which when coupled with their naturally high Evasion can mean they evade half of all hits against them. Their Attack power is stronger when not equipped with weapons. A downside is that they do not have a good ranged game, as they have only two ranged attacks, one with 50% Accuracy at best and the other stands two squares in front of them. Thus they are often paired with White Monk as a secondary job.
