The Monk, a once peaceful and passive student, has been called from his solitary meditation and forced to take up arms in the defense of his land. Only he, through his expert spear fighting skill, can avenge the death of his master. Channeling his aura energies to heal allies and cripple foes, the Monk is the ultimate team asset.
The Monk is a hero class who can use melee and ranged attacks. He is one of the four original heroes in Dungeon Defenders and has the fastest base movement speed of the quad.
