Monk

A brand-new class for Hearthstone, inspired by the Pandaren monks of Mists of Pandaria. Masters of Chi energy, Monks can empower their allies, heal through combat, and strike with devastating precision. Whether you follow the path of the Brewmaster, the Mistweaver, or the Windwalker, every game will flow differently.

The Chi Mechanic

Chi is a new resource unique to the Monk class. You gain Chi by playing certain cards or triggering specific effects. Many Monk cards have a Chi(X) bonus — spend the required Chi when you play the card to unlock a more powerful version of its effect. Keyword Chi(X): X of your Mana Crystals are Empowered for this and your next turn.

Example:

The player has 3 Chi available. 1 Chi was gained last turn, shown in our Mana Crystals. 2 Chi was gained this turn, shown in the second row of Mana Crystals.

If the player would end their turn. The following turn they would have 2 Chi available, the ones from the Second row of Mana Crystals.

Hero Power

The Monk's base Hero Power reflects their martial discipline. As you build Chi and unlock upgraded powers, the Monk becomes increasingly self-sufficient in combat.
