Night Fae grants Pisão Feelino, which offers a decent chunk of sustained AoE damage and healing. At the highest tiers of Mythic+ pushing, Necrolord's defensive value causes it to stand out, but for everyday play, it's a slightly-weaker option. It is more consistent defensively than Armas de Ordem, but the margin between Kyrian, Necrolord, and even Night Fae in terms of defense is very small in raids. Its 10-second duration makes it a mediocre option as a burst damage cooldown for lining up with other effects like potions, Bloodlust, and trinkets. In raids, Necrolord is a defense-first option that sacrifices a lot of offensive value for a moderate defensive gain. In Mythic+, its short cooldown makes it a reliable defensive cooldown, but the threat generation can be an issue. The Necrolord Covenant ability Cerveja Pó de Osso is generally the second-strongest Covenant ability available to Brewmaster Monks, and its biggest downsides are that it has a short duration, and the damage output is noticeably weaker. That being said, Necrolord is an okay alternative. Armas de Ordem is good at dealing burst damage, it's a relatively easy skill to use, and it's always good. Mikanikos' end-tree trait Acelerador de Ânima Efusivo supercharges the power of Armas de Ordem, increasing its damage value and reducing its cooldown. Mikanikos' soulbind tree is excellent, and the whole Covenant works well.

Kyrian is arguably the simplest, all-around best Covenant available to Brewmaster Monks thanks to Armas de Ordem.

I am active in all of the tank class Discords but primarily contribute to theorycrafting discussions in Peak of Serenity and Skyhold (Monk and Warrior).
