3.

Best Windwalker Monk Anima Powers

Throughout Torghast, you will be met with a ton of different choices when it comes to Anima Powers. Choosing the right one can be difficult, so we have made a Tier List below that should help you make the decision on the fly. This Tier List assumes that the powers are the same level.

Do not follow this list blindly, though, as there is a lot of personal choice and preference involved in choosing your Anima Powers. If you never use Tar Trap Icon Tar Trap in your playstyle, it would be silly to pick an Anima Power that increases its radius, for example.

Torghast is meant to be flexible and fun, so do not feel like you NEED to use these recommendations or you will not be able to complete your run.

For a complete list of Anima Powers, please refer to the two pages below.

3.1.

Corrosive Dosage: Top Anima Power for Windwalker Monk

It may not make a lot of sense but Corrosive Dosage Icon Corrosive Dosage is probably the strongest Anima Power that Windwalker has access to. Rather unexpectedly this power results in an insane amount of damage while you just stand and heal yourself. Use it at any point chance you can get it.

Great Anima Powers for Windwalker Monk

3.5.

Non-DPS Increasing Anima Powers for Windwalker Monk

Some of the powers in Torghast do not provide direct increases to your DPS but are there entirely for enjoyment and flavor.

If an Anima Power is not in the Tier List above, it is either because we have been unable to test it or find information about its tuning. It will be populated over time as we learn more about them.

4.

Phantasma Anima Powers for Windwalker Monk

Occasionally you will be offered the ability to get Phantasma instead of an Anima Power, or increases to your Phantasma generation. It is hard to evaluate these, but we recommend choosing them when there is no "good" or higher alternative Anima Power.

5.

Windwalker Monk Playstyle for Torghast, Tower of the Damned

Inherently, Windwalker should be pretty strong for Torghast, but it can absolutely be viable and to help you achieve this, we have some tips below.

  • Pay attention to how much you pull when you first start, do not pull too much.
  • Afterlife Icon Afterlife is your absolute best friend when it comes to self-healing. Creative and intelligent use of these orbs can make you nigh invincible.
  • Windwalker has a lot of tools to control targets, like Leg Sweep Icon Leg Sweep and Ring of Peace Icon Ring of Peace, so use them liberally to manage the enemies that you pull.
  • Although many packs will be AOE focused, do not shy away from saving a large target for a single pull to use your single target focused abilities.
  • Several Anima Powers increase the strength or frequency of your defensive abilities pay attention to what you can use more often than usual and make use of the extra uses.
