High spike damage: with many combination of proc effects from Monk skill tree and through gear choices. The lower HP the character has, the more chaotic things will become, only when fighting at Bloodied will bring the build power to another level.
Immortal: Despite having to fight at low health to reach maximum potential, Rekke is also extremely durable and hard to kill thanks to Fighter skill tree and gear choices. The lower his HP gets, the more Armor he has, at Near Death he will be granted Barring Death from Nemnok's Cloak, refusing to die for a duration, when it ran out, simply heal up and Rekke will "reborn" fresh.
