All About Monk Maz Koshia (FULL GUIDE) - Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity | Warriors Dojo 

I love how his weapons change depending on what Band he has equipped. Monk's Bands use basic Guardian weapons, Bands of Enlightenment use Guardian weapons in their + forms, and the Bands of Truth use the ++ variants.

A lot of folks thought he was terrible because they didn’t understand his special action so thank you for explaining it!

PLAYABLE GUARDIAN AAAAAAA

I miss the way you would point out "This is Character's best attack for melting boss WPGs", the way you did for HW1. Nonetheless, this video is AMAZING! Monk has been warming the bench since I unlocked him and couldn't make heads or tails of his play style! Thanks for all you do!!!

From what I remember playing, the guy is great at handling bosses and aiming for weak point gauges. I'm surprised you didn't go over how effective he is at individual characters or demolishing bosses like the Hinox and Lynels since both have a particular weak spot he can exploit easily.

The moment I unlocked him, he became my go to whenever there was a hard mission. I find him to be OP IMO.

How to play Maz Koshia good: Step 1: C6 Step 2: See Step 1

Bro, I didn't even know I wasn't utiziling this character until this guide, super helpful, thanks so much

Cryonis blocks can also be broken to give Maz a rune, so Cryonis into aerial strong attack then hit both objects makes for a quick way to gain two charges.

Monk is probably my favorite character. I really like his aireal attacks.

I played a lot of monk but still had no idea his special set off traps, thanks for enlightening me

Hell yeah, my fav character! C1 is actually pretty useful. It's good for quickly breaking runes for charges, and also is one of his better weak point gauge shredders when used after C6. Also the Cryonis ice block gives him a hammer charge when it disappears. Not super useful, but it's there.

Forgot: Once he hit's a summoned shrine, the shrine creates a shockwave that knocks up nearby enemies into the air. I think it's only for small enemies, but you can continuously juggle these nearby enemies by smashing the shrine. Sadly his runes on his ability meter translate to nonsense, just "ENEFST" The runes on his remote bomb seal spell "Calling"

Thank you so much for these videos. I started watching these after about 100 hours of play time and I’m blown away by how many mechanics there are that they game doesn’t explain at all.

I already thought he was OP after seeing how spammable his C6 is. It’s crazy to know that there was another layer to this character that I didn’t even know about. He went from easy top 5 to easy top 3 just from this video.

Definitely one of the top three fighter i struggled to see how they would be useful and lck the motivation to learn how to play right on my own, along with Hestu and Riju, but i still had fun with Riju. Thanks for explaining.

Using his Unique Action mid-air also causes him to grow massive, but to do a big belly-flop slam instead of pulling out a hammer. Functionally, (I think?) it's the same as doing it on the ground. Maybe a little faster? IIRC, it definitely launches his other objects the same way.

everyone gangsta till the goddess stops smiling upon you

Y Y Y Y X be like Dude stop solving puzzles, you should defeat the enemies Monk: FOOL! I’m defeating the enemies!

The shrine doesn't break by normal attacks, but hitting it does a big AoE around it with every hit, so it can be used to place something between you and a big mob or dangerous enemy and smack the shrine to hit them all.

I'm rather excited we're gonna be able to play a guardian.

I was wondering if you could make a seal tier list at some point, since a lot of them are a bit confusing to understand.

When I figured out the bit about the shrine. He became one of my favs.

Please do calamity ganon next. He is one of the more confusing characters

I was so pleasantly surprised today when i suddenly unlocked him today, totally my style of character and those combos feel so satisfying, glad to hear from you that he's up there with the strong chars

Summon a shrine between you and a boss, this either brings out their weakpoint or just keeps them from closing in, hitting it causes shockwaves that juggle enemies, then summon six spike bombs, hold right trigger to make them bounce, and if you have his ex ability, fire a laser that melts weakpoints. You can easily take out 3 guardians at once with this, and it refills your runes, so theres no extensive setup, its just the longest natural combo Maz does.

Awesome Video Bro! Monk Maz Koshia was always an Interesting Character. Like in his boss fight in Breath Of the Wild. It's cool that you can play as him.

Enemies can also break ancient relics, and they will give you a unique action rune charge

Oh also in the 2nd DLC, if you hold ZR long enough he unleashes a devastating blow on life gauges both the hammer and his laser beam.

I had no idea how his unique action impacted his strong attacks!! I already liked him and I can't wait to use him knowing this :D

Wow, learning the mechanics of the 5th and 5th strings really make a difference here. Thank you so much for explaining that in full!!

I’m not gonna lie, I accidentally unlocked Maz Koshia and now he’s probably my favorite character in the game.

This is by far one of the most fun characters once you learn it, monkey go monk

That damn monk... i did not get it and thought it was a bad character... thanks !!!

Something I noticed you didn't go over about the shrine is that if Monk Mahz Carrotsticks hits it with a regular attack, it lets off a weak shockwave. I find it useful if a gaggle of Bokoblins are grouped up behind it

Maz’s C1 is actually pretty great. It’s his best WPG shredder with C6. You don’t even need Stasis

This is my favorite character to play as. Thanks for the guide, very well done. Hope to see you cover the entire roster. ;)

Monk: I'm better than you I can make clones of my self become giant and SUMMON A DAMN SHRINE WHAT CAN YOU DO Master kohga: I eat a banana to make me happy while my friends attack for me

You didn't say that the shrine amplifies all damage that you throw at it. You can combine your other strong attacks with it to extremely amplify the damage dealt, C5 Into C6 into hammer is insane in clearing out places

Stronk attack 6 is so busted, early release tier lists putting monk in low tier always made me angerlaugh XD

Thank u for this!!

Playable Guardian.

Monk Maz Koshia is allowed in the Gerudo town Vai competition quest despite not being a woman. Other characters who are allowed are Terrako (a robot), Daruk and Yunobo (goron), and Hestu (a korok).

This isn't big but a small bonus is upon attacking his items he can place you gain special meter. I haven't tested it myself but if you put on special build up maybe summoning his final combo or shrine combo could build a full special bar in one go?

You forgot to mention that you can use his unique action in the air to instantly drop down

You just saved the monk from rotting in the menu because I thought he was trash so thanks

I had no idea that his Special Action did that. The game really doesn't explain it at all.

Why do the bands of truth look like ravio’s bracelet?

I’m gonna assume you’re going to make videos on the upcoming DLC (the Guardian, Flail Link and Master Cycle Zelda).

He is so fun to play as.

Mummy monk

“A Trial emits!” “A Trial awaits!” “The Trial emits!” “The Trial awaits!” And I still can’t tell what he’s supposed to be saying in his special attack…

Playable guardian

When the DLC comes out. Will you cover the Guardian as soon as you can?

I only ever realised the giant + Shrine thing

He uses those motion control gimmick hammers as a weapon, that's kind of funny

Wait, you use the hammers on the objects? The whole character just shot up the tier list for me.

So, I've been using Master Koshia in my top 4 runs but I just finally beat Final Battle and have everyone at level 95 or higher and do not know what else more is to do . I have his weapons bumped up to level 30 at least except the Band of Enlightenment So I guess where do I go from here

I always saw him as being like Lana's tome

6:30 a shrine inside a shrine? how the fu-?

WHERE IS SOOGA

In the Sheikah alphabet, Monk's six runes spell out "E N E F S T". I have no idea what that means :/

Strong 5 + Stasis Rune + Strong 6 + (Unique Action x Infinity) = Die

When I watched the trailer from age of calamity I wanted Maz Koshia was playlable and my dream came true 🥲😍🤩

This still dies not explain how to use it.
