-'''Monch''' is a [[Companions|Companion]] that the player can bring along on a run. They share similarities to [[Monchi]], though the exact connection is unknown beyond an appetite for cards.
+'''Monch''' is a [[Companions|Companion]] that the player can bring along on a run. They are exclusive to the [[Tribes#Shademancers|Shademancers Tribe]].
 ==Strategy==
-To get the most out of Monch, one should have a source of expendable [[Companions]]. They will eat ally cards and gain their health and attack for the remainder of the battle. Sacrificing [[Shades]] to Monch can help boost their attack and health quickly. Sacrificial cards, like [[Egg]] and [[Pootie]], are not as ideal because, though they are designed to be sacrificed, they lack in health and attack. Often, they will be [[Stats#Special Keywords|injured]], as well.
+Monch is a high-risk, high-reward Companion that demands expendable Companions or [[Shades]]. Each time Monch triggers, they eat all other cards in the row, instantly killing those cards and giving Monch an equal amount of {{Stat|attack}} and {{Stat|health}}. A well-fed Monch is a peerless offense and defense all in one. Sacrificial Companions like [[Egg]] and [[Pootie]] are not as ideal for feeding Monch due to their low [[Stats|stats]], and may better serve as blockers for strong attacks. If the [[Bell of Death]] is active, such Companions will likely be constantly {{Keyword|Injured|injured}} as well, lowering their stats even more.
-[[Chikichi]] remains a good pairing with Monch as each sacrifice will bring about a stronger version up to [[Chikagaru]].
+[[Chikichi]] is a fantastic pairing with Monch, as eating Chikichi or its summoned Shades has the double benefit of bringing out the next stronger incarnation while also giving Monch a significant stat boost. Once all is said and done, the end result will be the powerful [[Chikagoru]] alongside an extremely beefy Monch. A copy summoned with the [[Shade Wisp]] will not give Monch much health, but if the right enemy is copied then Monch can gain a large amount of attack. [[Snuffer]] pair very well with Monch as Snuffer can be resummoned infinitely, giving Monch infinite things to eat. [[Charms]] with effects that trigger on kill such as the {{Stat|Pinch Charm}} and {{Stat|Cloudberry Charm}} will also trigger when Monch eats allies, making them extremely powerful.
-It is important to remember to not feed your leader to Monch as it will kill them.
+Monch's consumption of allies does not count as attacking those allies, so on-hit effects like {{Stat|Teeth}} will not apply. Additionally, Monch does ''not'' have the {{Keyword|Absorb}} ability (even though their ability does use the word "absorb"), so unlike the [[Woolly Drek]], Monch will not gain any statuses or abilities from the consumed ally.
+Monch will still eat all allied cards in the row when triggering with no enemy to attack.
+''Above all else'', make sure your [[Leaders|Leader]] is not in the same row as Monch when they trigger, as Monch will kill them on the spot.
+==Trivia==
+Monch shares similarities with [[Muncher|Monchi]], though any exact connection is unknown beyond their shared appetite for cards. They may also have served as the inspiration for the [[Mini Muncher]].
