The Monk style in Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is melee-focused style where the player fights with Hand-to-Hand weapons.
Gameplay[]
The Monk has a seven-hit melee combo, which is fast. When an enemy is staggered, the Monk can follow-up with the True Strike attack.
Trait[]
The Monk has the trait Inner Strength. When the player takes damage, they recover a portion of the damage received. Also, once a match, when reduced to 20% HP or less, a recovery effect will activate and all melee attacks become critical hits for a short time.
Abilities[]
Manawall
The Manawall ability is equipped by default. It allows the player to create a defense barrier that blocks damage for a short amount of time, or until the barrier takes a certain amount of damage. The barrier stays in a static location when created, and can be used by any player.
Chakra Field
The Chakra Field ability creates a field that removes poison and recovers HP for candidates.
Skills[]

This skill increases the automatic recovery amount for the Inner Strength trait.
