I think the only thing that would make that combo worst is for her to somehow replace the poison breath with poison insects, which she will somehow unlock from a random dungeon. The floor is covered in poison insects, and you have just been paralysed and cannot escape from the creepy and disgusting poison insects. Easy trauma.

I'd like to point out she only came in 3rd here... although she might've snaked 2nd if she'd used Paralyzing Shout *before* Deadly Breath rather than after

@@EricSwordswinger I mean that's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is she came in 3rd without moving away from her starting position. That's more impressive, even if it was basically everyone feeding her.

theres also a scene in this anime where the devs joke that they should make Maple the final boss i believe

@@theoddronin1 in an event or pvp area Otherwise you are perfectly fine and can have the latter two occur

just a side note most games penetrating attacks you still need to be able to hit a threshold of the damage before they actually do damage that they need is defense rating attacks (Higher the opponents defense more damage it does) that would be her #1 weakness

you can't break it if it doesn't exist...

It's not a warcrime if it's not wartime. (Cite random dude on Reddit)

I actually wanna confirm how many war crimes she commited during this event... lets see... war crime 1: attacking a downed opponent, The aggressor mustn't attack a downed opponent or a surrendering foe war crime 2 (and also another war crime but its also associated with war crime 2): use of chemical weapons to harm the opposing force, also the use of chemicals to harm downed opponents war crime 3: genocide war crime 4: (since some of em had companions) the use of bio-material (animals/plants) in warfare war crime 5: (technically maple didn't commit this one but eh): under-aged drafts war crime 6: holding no restraint to the opposing forces although most of them were retreating war crime 7 (which is associated with war crime 2): the use of harmful gases to harm the masses war crime 8: no consideration to preserve the surrounding area war crime 9: no recollection of events and ignorance of the Geneva convention (this is just a joke, well kinda lol, if maple was in an actual war those would be the rules she violated. this is a game and an anime, these rules do not apply)

There was only 1 effective strategy against pre-nerf maple, stay far away. She has 0 agility and would never catch up to you.

@@JEL625 i have a better one. its called the log off function. she'll never get you that way

@@JEL625 even that wouldn't work cause of her Aoe skills.

This is like Trying to defeat a blackhole by giving it more mass.

@@JEL625 paralyzing shout + Hydra spam. She's immune to poison damage so she could conceivably just fill entire areas with poison and call it a day.

She's not gonna die anytime soon

And the worst part is that she got those skills by playing with Usagi-chan, sleeping in open field, and eating the damn poison boss. Oh, and the build itself was born because she didn't want to feel pain. I don't know a single player who would be able to defeat her 1v1 (if we're talking about the moment of time when she get her throne). Sally? She had a lot of problems against fake Maple (web-novel stuff, was skipped in anime). Payne? He could decrease her hp to minimum just because she used a lot of her skills that day, if we're talking about full power, Payne would have like 20% for a win. Payne, literally the strongest player in the game... Mii at her own would just deplete her mana pool to do nothing. I'd say the closest to win would be actually Sally. She just need to get full resistance to poison and paralysis. And even then Maple might find some new way to fight and win.

yea but it was committed in such a cute way she would be found not guilty.

@@lordmech That makes it all the better

Makes all the funnier when you realise she can't move very fast and ends up using "Defend Teammate" ability as a Movement skill.

@@SuterusuDaioh I mean that's been a basic strat in MMOs and ARPGs for a very very long time. SWTOR uses it alot for a modern example that still predates Bofuri being written by about 10 years.

She's straight up one shotting people and taking zero damage, its a raid boss for sure.

You pretty much described Monster Hunter tho.

Their fault for getting in way over their head imo

@@HazeEmry Oh 100% You dig your grave, you lie in it. Of the top three, I think they chose right person to kill them though

and in the meantime make it worse with every single thing they do

They nerf her several times adding in ignore defense skills, and a few other examples. Just the whole point is Maple gets more and more outrageous as the series goes on.

@@shadeling6717 And then they just give up and use her as promotional device

​@@skell6134 Which was the best decision they ever made.

Maple:*enters hydra's cave* Hydra: why do i hear boss music?

@@Waffle280 More like - New players: why is boss music suddenly playing here in town? Veteran players: Hm, Maple just logged in.

so like me during my first sessions as gm.

I would just say, "there's a cute girl playing a Sword Art Online type of game. Her main weapon is a shield."

lets be real they gave up after attempt #2 and made her the last boss

More like "cute girl plays badly designed game and becomes overpowered". Nerfing her wouldn't actually be hard since she relies on high base damage,instant kills, and % based damage. Her being nearly impossible to kill is not an issue really. It's that she can do that AND do great damage, and that's soley easily fixable bad design.

@@josephsuh525 Made her a Boss they did. Since no other path for fairness was possible.

​​@@Elmithianthat and people were getting mad they were nerfing her, like she's a dark souls boss or hardcore raid. Edit: I was mistaken, the ARMOR was from her soloing the boss, the SKILLS (both the aoe and one shot shield tap) were both gained from literally eating the boss, which dealt massive poison damage. Plus she can only use it as much as she can because of an oversight, she put them on her equipment and due to that they didn't cost mana. They likely didn't expect anyone to gain access to gear that could hold skills this early into the game's life cycle.

Do you mean invincible?

@@RTSTG62 i read their comment as invisible lmao and got so confused

What kind of pounding are we talking about? 😆

Not really... She just uses status and counters in this one event...

Her offense is behaving against the game rules. With no stats in intelligence or anything like that, her special attacks should be really weak. That is litteraly the point of having those stats. Yet everyone was completely defenseless, with no resistances or anything. When those same attacks were used against Mapple, even before she had her maxed out poison immunity, she was able to withstand them long enough to heal herself. Yet when she uses them, they suddenly work as if she is expert caster. And this theme continues with all other skills too. When she transforms, suddenly fact that she has no stats in attack/agility/mana/intelligence/dexterity does not matter at all. She is fully capable of keeping up with those who have builds oriented towards those stats, while still having her maxed out vitality on top of that. Already half of the stats in this manga/anime have no meaning. Intelligence, Dexterity and Mana do not seem to play any role at all because it does not matter how much mana you have or how high your intelligence is, if you can just ignore those stats and do insane damage simply by aquiring skills as a reward.

@@iglidor The difference in in the source of the poison, the poisons she was taking in the beginning were from a low level enemy, and thus not that effective against someone who would naturally have high hp (you have to imagine the shield class has high starting hp since they're meant to be a tank,) whereas her poison and paralysis skills are all from high level enemies like the dungeon boss, Hydra, thus highly potent even with minimal investment. This is also assuming that status ailments even scale with things like intelligence since most games just have a flat rate based on the skill, not the players stats. The transformations also offset her other issues since they're built to give a flat buff in certain stats, thus she can become strong even without investment into anything other than defense. If someone like Pain used the same transformations then he'd hit way harder, that's why both have a massive cooldown period of one day. Maple is only able to ignore mana here because her shield has devour attached to it (hence why they had to nerf the skill to have a daily limit,) and then devour converts the victims into mana crystals that Mable can use (something the anime glosses over with a brief bit of text regarding the shield, though the source material explains it better.) You also have to recognize the possibility that some of Maple's damage is likely defense based, since that's something fairly common for shield classes, sure she won't normally hit as hard as an offense build, but that's where her out of the ordinary playstyle comes into play since she naturally finds skill most players wouldn't because they require doing things most people never would (players can't even replicate her actions to acquire said skills since the devs made sure to make the most problematic ones, like Hydra, harder to acquire.) If you pay attention to what's actually going on then you'd realize that Maple's playstyle only works because she is an outlier among outliers who doesn't behave the way most gamers would and then gets to these skills before anyone else. The only one that you could argue fits with your argument is Machine Lord since she got that through a quest, though that's also assuming the quest wasn't more of a one time only thing since it also changes the area after completion (wouldn't be surprised honestly, the devs probably didn't anticipate Maple being the first to find it.) Obviously the world of the game isn't perfect, but then again, what MMO is? It's not exactly uncommon for players to find a build that trivializes everything else the player could invest in if you're willing to sacrifice certain things (like the fact that Maple is normally slow as crap, meaning that travel around town would be aggravating to most players, thus making the build rather inconvenient for your average player, regardless of the battle potential.)

@@homerman76 And that lack of traveling ability is why she never moves from this one spot during the entire event. She legit was just standing there letting everyone come to her because of the high amount of points they would get. If they avoided her and stayed away none of them would have been killed.

I must agree. her offense skills are great. she defeated a poisonous dragon when her best attack was to bite the enemy. not even Son Goku has ever managed to kill an enemy by eating it.

Until you realise they were secret supporters feeding their queen.

@@leonm8906 R-Reverse stream sniping?!

That's adorable. I love that the author was able to get her as Maple's va!

take a pounding when all attacks against her just bounce off...........................................

Hentai artists: Write that down, write that down

Yup that checks out 🤣

then thank good that its just a game

I think immunity only comes with damage in this rpg

@@MaxLeCnkerant I mean atleast there should be atleast someone has immunity. I mean if she got hydra... You know what I can't change the story and I'm not really complaining so let's leave it at that ahahaha.

Pretty sure player stats dictate how quickly they gain related skills. Super high vitality means you gain defensive and survivability skills super quick. Having zero Agility however means you probably won't acquire the Swimming skill any time soon.

if you want to get immunity of any negative status in this anime, you need to make sure that you are able to survive with that status within the duration requirement to be immune to that status, maple spams potions to get her poison immunity during her battle against Hydra and also there one character also get poison immunity while healing herself overtime after being hit by maple"s hydra during the guild battle event

@@3qraiko553 Yeah. So you're telling me that only maple had the idea (in her case she really didn't thought of it. More like she just did what she want.) and not a single player had any brains to think of that?

Imagine if a “Dive” helmet gets created and someone teamed up with the creator of Happy Wheels to create a Dive version of it. 😂 As for the AOE attack effect, yeah that would be interesting to see if a developer team could balance it.

When you actually get the boss skill after beating the boss instead of just getting a nerfed version of it.

I mean the only way to get it is soloing a dungeon boss.
