Cold Lightning Monk Build Summary
Cold Lightning Monk Leveling Build
| Build Setup | |
|---|---|
 Monk Leveling Build |
 Killing Palm Dash to an enemy and Strike them with an unarmed Attack, Culling enemies if their life is low enough. Each enemy killed by this strike grants a Power Charge. Enemies around you that can be Culled will be highlighted. This skill always Strikes with your bare fist, even if you have a Quarterstaff equipped.
 Falling Thunder Infuses your Quarter staff with electrical energies, then slams the ground to deal damage in a large cone in front of you. Consumes your Power Charges to fire Lightning Projectiles forwards from the impact.
 Glacial Cascade Sweep your Quarterstaff upwards, releasing an icy fissure which deals damage in a series of bursts culminating in a large spike. Frozen enemies hit by the final spike are dealt heavy damage but the Freeze is Consumed. Ice Crystals hit by the final spike explode.
 Ice Strike Perform a fast icy Strike, Using this Attack three times in quick succession causes a final strike that is slower and more powerful.
 Tempest Bell Build Combo by successfully Striking Enemies with other skills. After reaching maximum Combo, use this skill to cause the Bell on your staff to grow to massive size as you drop it on the ground. The Bell damages enemies on impact and can be Hit by your skills, creating a damaging shockwave. Elemental Ailments applied to the Bell cause its shockwaves to deal extra damage of the corresponding type, and Hits which would have caused Knockback increase the area of effect of the shockwaves.
 Freezing Mark Marks a target, making them more susceptible to being Frozen. When a Marked target dies, a Cold nova erupts from their corpse. this nova does not use your Weapon Damage, and instead uses its own Base Attack damage.
|
 Easy to Play High Mobility and DPS Good Crowd Control Glass-Cannon |
|
This unarmed build uses Freezing Mark with Ice Strike and Glacial Cascade to deal damage to enemies and freeze them in place. It also utilizes Killing Palm and Falling Thunder for burst damage.

Weapons
During Act 1 until Act 2, try to get any Quarterstaff with additional modifiers that increase Physical Damage and grant levels to all Melee Skills. This should be able to carry you through the rest of the act.
Armor and Accessories
You'll want to stack Evasion and Energy Shields to take advantage of the bonuses of the Hollow Palm Technique passive key. This allows you to increase your Attack Speed and Critical Strike Chance based on your Evasion Rating and Energy Shield, respectively.
You'll also want the Azure Amulet paired with two Lazuli Rings to support the mana consumption of Ice Strike, allowing you to continuously cast the skill without having to use a Mana Flask.

Cold Lightning Monk Passive Tree
Passive Tree Progression
From the start, make a beeline towards Flow State, then use the attribute highway to reach Hollow Palm Technique. Afterwards, head back to gain Essence of the Mountain for more freeze buildup. Afterwards take more Attack Speed nodes by taking Falcon Technique as well as Reaching Strike and Rapid Strike.
It's also important to get Resonance, to convert the Frenzy Charges to Power Charges to use Charged Staff or Falling Thunder. From here onwards, you can decide to increase your Critical Chance and Damage, then followed by more Evasion Rating.
Passive Skill Tree Guide and List of Passives
Ascendancy Options
 Invoker
|
• Choose I am the Blizzard to support your Cold Damage. |
Since the build mainly focuses on using Ice Strike and freezing enemies, the best Ascendancy to choose is Invoker as its skills purely support elemental builds. You can still choose the Acolyte of Chayula, but your progression past the leveling build would require you to respec more.
You have the option to transition to a different Ascendancy at a later stage of the game if you wish to switch to a different build once you reach the endgame.
