War Monks and Clerics are some of the more unique classes in ''Awakening'', as they have great defensive stats for healers, now have a weapon in [[Axe]]s, and their Strength and Magic stats are dead equal, granting them even usage of normal and [[Bolt Axe]]s. They are treated as mage units, meaning that they can traverse deep sand uninhibited.  As stated before, War Monks are not about dodging attacks until they are rescued, but are styled to take attacks rather like [[General]]s. Their healing power is less potent than [[Sage]]s, but their skill [[Healtouch]] from their [[Priest]] forms remedies this somewhat. Their choice of axes as a promoted healer is rather interesting, as they hit hard but are inaccurate. Nevertheless, War Monks are going to be stuck with low-level hatchets for a while before they can use the heavy artillery like [[Helswath]] and [[Vengeance (Weapon)|Vengeance]]. The two skills War Monks can learn are [[Rally Luck]] and [[Renewal]]. Rally Luck boosts Luck by 8 to all allied units within a three-tile radius of the user. This Rally skill is unique because the boost received is double of what is usually granted by other skills. It is great for facing armies with high [[Skill (stat)|Skill]] to lower the chance of critical blows to your units, and for giving abilities like [[Miracle]], [[Armsthrift]], and [[Despoil]] a higher activation rate. Renewal restores the user's [[HP]] by 30% at the start of each turn. Complementing the War Monk's bulkiness extremely well, this skill can make them almost impossible to put down, especially if it's slapped on Generals. Renewal pretty much eliminates the need for healers when combined with other regenerative skills ([[Sol (Skill)|Sol]] and [[Lifetaker]] to name a few), allowing them to be spread to your less hardy units. In short, the War Monk is a gimmicky but great class to have.

The War Monk (バトルモンク Batoru monku, lit. Battle Monk in the Japanese version) is a class that is introduced in Fire Emblem Awakening. A class that is both physical and magical, the War Monk class takes on both combat and support roles. It is one of the promoted forms of the Priest class, employing Axes and Staves as its equipment of choice. The War Monk class is the male equivalent of the War Cleric class.

Overview

Combat

War Monks and Clerics are some of the more unique classes in Awakening, as they have great defensive stats for healers, wield physical Axes as weapons, and their Strength and Magic stats are equal, granting them even usage of both normal and Bolt Axes. They are treated as mage units, meaning that they can traverse sand-based terrain uninhibited. 

As stated before, War Monks are not about dodging attacks until they are rescued, but are, much like Generals, styled to sustain attacks. Their healing power is less potent than Sages, but the Healtouch skill that they learn as Priests remedies this quite a bit. Their choice of Axes as promoted healers is a double-edged sword; while they can deal copious amounts of damage, their strikes are inaccurate. In addition to this, War Monks will, immediately after promotion, be stuck with low-level Axes for a while before they can be armed with higher-quality equipment like Helswath and Vengeance.

The two skills War Monks can learn are Rally Luck and Renewal. Rally Luck boosts Luck by 8 to all allied units within a three-tile radius of the user. This Rally skill is unique because the boost received is double of what is usually granted by other skills, making it ideal for facing armies with high Skill, as the chance of critical blows inflicted on the player's units will be significantly reduced, alongside increasing the activation rates of other utility skills like Miracle, Armsthrift, and Despoil. Renewal, conversely, restores the user's HP by 30% at the start of each turn. Complementing the War Monk's bulkiness extremely well, this skill can make them almost impossible to defeat. Renewal pretty much eliminates the need for healers when combined with other regenerative skills (Sol and Lifetaker to name a few), allowing them to be spread to the player's less hardy units.
