Martial swing speed and lightning sentry expansion
Sold by the Tavernkeep for 15 Defender Medals once any mechanical boss is vanquished in Hardmode. This martial headwear supplies 8 defense, increases maximum sentry slots by 1, and accelerates melee swing speed by 20%. It represents the head armor of the Monk set, accompanying Monk's Shirt and Monk's Pants for players blending brawling swordplay with turret placement during wave events.
Close-quarters aura defense and melee synergy
When completed, the Monk armor enhances Lightning Aura sentries by speeding up their discharge rate and granting them a base 16.7% critical strike chance. The 20% melee speed bonus on this cap accelerates broadswords, spears, and flails, allowing warriors to launch projectiles rapidly with weapons like the True Excalibur and Death Sickle while stationary Lightning Aura Cane sentries zap surrounding crowds during intense base defenses.
