Quick answer

Monolith – Balance Patch 1

Exact Patch 1 changes: Monolith base damage fell 19%, maximum health fell 10%, and some attacks were retimed. Unknown fields for absolute HP, resistances, location, and rewards are disclosed rather than inferred.

Route

What to do

  1. 1Confirm the current platform patch.
  2. 2Discard pre-patch rhythm assumptions for retimed attacks.
  3. 3Use current animations to rebuild dodge, guard, and counter timing.
  4. 4Do not convert the percentage health reduction into an absolute HP value without a base.

The larger damage reduction

Monolith received a 19% base-damage reduction and a 10% maximum-health reduction. The damage change is proportionally larger, so survivability pressure should move more than encounter length if all other behavior is equal.

That comparison remains directional because the patch does not publish the absolute base values. Equipment, defense, and current build behavior also affect the player's outcome.

Retimed attacks change muscle memory

The note that some attacks were retimed is strategically important even without a full moveset table. Old video timings may cause early dodges, guards, or counters after the patch.

Use current telegraphs and rebuild timing from the live encounter. A later tactical guide can add named moves once a stable current-version record exists.
