When playing single and getting the first skill point, it is recommended to open the ability “Lightning strikes” [1.1b] to effectively use the accumulated adrenaline, and when playing with friend open “Healing Seal” [3.1] in order to be able to save another player in a difficult situation.

After choosing the first talent, Kellet’s improvement can occur in several directions:

1. The first branch of monk’s talents will provide maximum efficiency in spending adrenaline, and significantly increase striking power, which will be optimal for experienced players who are able to avoid enemy attacks.
2. If you have hard to blocking or dodging enemy attacks, then the second skill branch will increase the monk’s defense to more consistently maintain adrenaline at maximum, and also simplify control over the battlefield.
3. In co-op you can play monk as a healer, in this case is preferable to choose the third skill branch, which will give your team survivability.

When playing the monk, you need to pay special attention to the fullness of the adrenaline bar and try not to take damage in order to maintain a balance of adrenaline consumption to combine the use of special moves and lethal power.

Kellet’s skills Adrenaline Boost [1.2], Ironskin [2.3] and Dodge Master [2.4], as well as the use of armor that gives a chance for a passive block, can especially help to maintain the maximum available adrenaline.
