I like the idea that he uses words and phrases from all over. Makes it seem like he's been everywhere; yet people hardly ever catch a glimpse of him. He probably has a lot of epic stories to tell; but refuses to tell them, refuses to elaborate, and refuses to care. That might be a bold assumption; but that's where my mind would go. I like him a lot!

Probably gonna do some artwork of this guy...
I think Monarch would talk, but not too often. My gut feeling is a mature, "mysterious masked figure" voice what only says a few words at a time. He would probably use a mix of strange wording and phrases from a lot of different places which would make him sound like a foreigner wherever he was, which is not really untrue.
I'm aware of Lite; and that it tones down the VFX; but the confusion comes more-so from his movements in the animations; and not the VFX therein
This might be the longest review of a character I've done; but that just means this character inspired a lot of fancy words 'n' such.
Before I go, I'm gonna ask the same question I did for my fuzzy pool noodle buddy:
If you have a headcanon voice for Monarch, what is it?
As much as I adore his animations, they are nearly unintelligible to me as an opponent. I ran into a Monarch online the other day; and trying to make sense of some of his movements is a battle in-and-of-itself. Granted, that plays into his strength of confusing the enemy; but it feels a bit extreme in this instance. It's definitely not a huge factor in my opinion of the animations, nor will it negatively affect my thoughts in him in the long run. It's simply that versing him is rather disorienting; but y'know what?
It's still fun watching my character get annihilated by him.
There's something about a cyberpunk butterfly man gracefully dashing about while firing high power photon blasts from a colt revolver that tickles a particularly unhinged part of my brain. This character's design and animations are something to be proud of; and as I stated: watching him beat people brains out is almost as fun as doing it yourself. He currently holds the (somewhat) prestigious position of one of my favorite taunts in all of RoA.
I also would have preferred if entering the portals was done with a different input. Even though it isn't a huge issue; but I keep accidently entering portals while mid-combo, which is particularly inconvenient, considering the portals have a certain number of uses before they disappear. Perhaps a combination of down and another button would be more convenient for me personally; but I stress the word personally.
