The '''Monk''' (Japanese: {{hover|修道士|Shūdōshi}} ''Monk'' or {{hover|修験者|Shugenja}} ''Syugenja'') is a [[:Category:Base classes|basic]] magical [[class]] which debuted in {{FE7}}. It originated in that game and {{title|The Sacred Stones}} as an offensive magical class which wields [[Light (magic)|light magic]], acting as an offensive counterpart to the healing-specific [[Priest]]/[[Cleric]], and is an exclusively male class.<ref>{{Cite|But...to be a monk, don’t you have to... be a... Well...a guy?|[[Serra]]|The Blazing Blade}}</ref> In {{title|Fates}}, it is instead a [[Hoshido]]-aligned healer class which uses [[rod]]s, the Hoshidan equivalent of staves. Monks are one of only two explicitly male-only Hoshido classes (the other being the Great Master), with its female counterpart being the [[Shrine Maiden]].

Compared to its fellow offensive magic classes, the [[Mage]] and [[Shaman]], the Monk possesses lower raw [[Magic (stat)|magical power]], and compensates for it with superior [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]], which in combination with the typically lightweight and accurate light magic gives them excellent [[accuracy]] and [[Attack speed|double-attacking]] ability. As is common to magic classes, they possess low [[HP]] and [[defense]] and require protection for successful use, but like Priests/Clerics, conversely possess exceptional [[resistance]].

In the Game Boy Advance games, Monks promote to the [[Bishop]] class along with Priests/Clerics, gaining the use of [[Staff|staves]]. Additionally, ''The Sacred Stones'' gives Monks the option to promote to Bishop or [[Sage]]. In {{FE14}}, it promotes to [[Onmyoji]] or [[Great Master]].

Magic +2, Draw Back (Three Houses)

The Monk (Japanese: 修道士 Monk) is a basic magical class which debuted in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. In The Blazing Blade and The Sacred Stones, Monk is an offensive magical class which wields light magic, and is a male-exclusive class.[1] In Three Houses and Warriors: Three Hopes, the Monk is an entry-level magic-user, able to wield both black and white magic, and is not restricted by gender.

Compared to other offensive magic classes, the Monk possesses lower magic, but higher skill and speed; in conjunction with the typically lightweight and accurate light magic, Monks have excellent accuracy and attack speed.

In The Blazing Blade, Monks promote to the Bishop class, gaining the use of staves. In The Sacred Stones, Monks have the option to promote to Bishop or Sage.
