Unchained Monk Styles Strikes


Rules Questions


So I am a 6th level Unchained monk. So reading through the rules I am more confused than anything.

I took the boar style feat, along with elemental fury as my ki power, as well as shattering punch as my style strike.

My main question is, what is the best combo I can pull off with my flurry. From my understanding, a Shattering punch is associated with a single attack, and so is elemental fury. Would I get the benefits of boar stance if I hit twice?

Elemental fury is on ALL of your natural attacks or unarmed strikes, not just one. So, if you make a full-attack or flurry of blows, each hit will deal your unarmed strike damage, plus your 1d6 elemental damage from elemental fury, and if you hit two of your three potential unarmed strikes at this level, you deal an extra 2d6, assuming you have used the swift action to enter Boar Style.

Note that Boar Style applies "once per round".

But you can still hit three times, dealing 3 x unarmed strike damage + 3d6 elemental damage +2d6 Boar Style damage. You could combine the Shattering Punch with the second attack you make (hoping that it hits) to make sure the 2d6 damage from your Boar Style will also bypass DR or Hardness.
