How you play Windwalker Monk

Turn Energy into Chi with Tiger Palm, spend Chi on big kicks, and never press the same button twice in a row.

Your buttons, most important first

  1. Zenith when ready (2 charges): your big moment. Follow it with Fists of Fury and Rising Sun Kick.
  2. Fists of Fury and Rising Sun Kick whenever ready. Whirling Dragon Punch when it lights up, Strike of the Windlord on cooldown.
  3. Tiger Palm to get Chi. Use it before your Energy bar is full.
  4. Spend leftover Chi on Blackout Kick. When it lights up it is free: use it.
More enemies: Same buttons. Add Spinning Crane Kick right after Fists of Fury, and whenever it lights up.
Biggest mistake: Pressing the same button twice in a row: your Mastery bonus drops.

Hero talents

Shado-Pan (best this season): no extra buttons. Just keep your big kicks on cooldown.
Conduit of the Celestials: Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger, then Celestial Conduit. Wait until the speed boost from Whirling Dragon Punch has ended.

From the guides: Icy Veins 25 Aug · Wowhead 25 Aug · Method 18 Aug 2026. A patch can change this.
