Rather than pick a main, pick a primary stat like STR DEX INT or LUK. Make a dozen classes and use legion to buff the account as a whole. Want to be an archer? Play all of them and get tons of DEX for your future main!
@hannessteffenhagen612 жыл бұрын
Not really "tons" legion stat buffs don't scale with potential IIRC so you'll be super strong up to 5th where it doesn't matter and after that the bonus doesn't really help. Other card abilities are more relevant than +stat. That said mostly having a big board is good on its own, and if you're on non-reboot you can share equips so if you really just love archers then sure go for it. If you're early game it might make enough of a difference to matter.

In a majority of the time though, you don't use the transformation because the hitbox can be a problem, or that you don't really needs to DPS boost, and Kaiser really picks up at 5th job, Draco surge, and Dragon Blaze provides a massive amount of dps, and for most of the threads of fate skills, can be reset using their hyper skill, Kaisers Majesty. You can also put together with the Grandis Blessing to spam skills such as Kuramas Claws up to 3 times, and even try again with Majesty.

@salvadorlecheese3 жыл бұрын
Choose normal if you are starting out. People like to say that reboot is better for new players, but I find that progression in reboot is not self explanatory. So while the reboot passive buff of extra exp and loads of mesos makes it easy to buy reboot shop cubes for meso, you have no auction house. So if you hit 150 and see that you need a little more damage to train fast, instead of going to the auction to buy some cheap cra gear, in reboot guess what, time for you to solo cra and farm for your gear. I personally started in normal, and learned how to progress through each stage of the game, while being assisted by cheap auction gear. Then when I felt I wanted a more solo experience I headed to reboot, and I play both servers regularly, if not tryhardingly. TLDR: The auction house is really helpful for new players.

Hi, I'm one of those who go back and forth to Maplestory over a decade and something that I didn't notice back when I was a teenager is that some classes become outright crap in term of DPS if you have crappy ping (like I do) and I decided to start out in a new server: Bera since ElNido or whatever it's called now is pretty much dead, so which class would be the best for bad ping. Also, right now I have only like 4 characters in Bera, link skill mules, should I just play on Reboot instead? I never spent too much in the game so I'm technically F2P, I always enjoyed the merching side of the game but I honestly never managed to actually get enoguh funds for the endgame, heck, not even mid-game I guess, should I just move to Reboot since it is F2P and the most populated server?

@Masterlikers3 жыл бұрын
Blaster and Cadena will technically win in terms of damage, with Blaster having better survivalbility with constant %hp attack reduction, a shield and 3 s. But they are very hard to master. Wind Archer is simpler, has a puppet and a shield to laugh at boss mechanics. They do suffer from lower damage, but it is easier to play than the above. Phantom excels in a party setting, but not so much in solo bossing. However, like Wind Archer, they can survive very well with multiple i-frames, which I think it is important. Can't deal damage if you are dead. So in conclusion, play them and see which you like!
