Monk and Initiate weapons have both a melee and ranged attack, each with their own upgradable base damage values. The elemental damage only applies to melee attacks (except for the Devil's Pitchfork). These weapons are almost exclusively polearms.

Weapon size affects the reach and swing speed of melee attacks. Ranged attacks are always fired from the hero's left hand.

Distinct Stats[]

  • Melee and Ranged Damage: The weapon's base melee and ranged damage respectively.
  • Additional Projectiles: The number of extra projectiles fired per ranged attack volley. Only upgradable on every fifth item level minus one (4, 9, 14, 19, etc.) Usually caps at either +4 or +5 for a total of 5-6 shots.
  • Speed Bonus: Determines the velocity of projectiles. Can be upgraded up until ~+30,000.

List of Monk Weapons[]

  • All random weapon drops from enemies and chests will be Monk weapons if everyone in the game lobby is currently a Monk/Initiate.
  • By default, any specific mission victory rewards below are guaranteed if the player is a Monk or Initiate. Jester and Summoner have a 25% chance to receive the corresponding weapon.
