Skip normal monolith on alts?

I could have sworn i read in the patch notes for Cycle 2 that once you cleared to empowered monos on your main you could skip most of normal monos on your alt? If so, how and if not, do you have to clear all the normal monos like you did on your main?

Not most. In theory you can jump to empowered monos after completing the first level 90 mono.
I know that this happens when that level 90 mono triggers an harbinger, but I haven’t tested it yet to know if this happens anyway if you have the top 3 harbingers done.

But at most you just skip 2 of the top 3 monos.
