MapleStory Best Class guide, Unleashed

I made this guide specially just for the powermongers. If you aren't one of them, you should probably stop reading now. This guide is specially made for players that wants to do damage and players that seeks out for the more powerful class instead of your "fun" class.

So here it is, I will list out the top 5 best class IN MY OPINION. This list also exclude any classes that I didn't play. But even so, I am a powermonger myself and I think it would be safe for me to say that I have played almost all the classes that is actually overpowered in some form or does a lot of damage in general.

Starting from number 5, we have:

----------------------------------------------------------
5. Marksman

<<No Image>>

This class is probably one of the best 1v1 damage dealing class if you exclude the number 1 on the list. The Snipe itself does 490% X 9 damage(X 10 with Hyper skill), which is insane. One Snipe alone is almost equivalent to a  Lv 170 Hyper Skill. If there is anything at all that the Marksman stands out, its this skill alone. However the Snipe itself comes with 5 sec cooldown. To remove the cooldown, you can get the cooldown cutter Hyper skill at Lv 155. The only drawback to this skill is the fact you need to be Lv 155 to get the cooldown cutter.

I always judge how good a class is by their 1v1 damage, but due to the fact that there is "this(see number 1)" class that shares the same niche as Marksman except being more superior in everything, this class can only be 5th on the spot.

----------------------------------------------------------

4. Demon Avenger

While this class doesn't do amazing damage, the damage output by this class is by no means weak either. It packs a punch and the Lv 170 Hyper skill only have a 8 sec cool down which makes this Hyper skill one of the top tier hyper skill out there. But all that asides, the thing that makes this class stands out so much isn't because of all those, it is because of this class utilize nothing but Hp alone as their source of power. All their ap will be going directly into Hp, making this class the class that have the highest pool of hp out of all classes.

While most of Demon Avenger's attack consumes a certain percentage of Hp, Demon Avenger also have his own ways of healing itself through either absorbing it back through attacks or simply regenerating himself through the Overload Release.

With ways to regenerate itself while consuming Hp and dishing out decent to high damage, this class simply does not have any flaws in it. Unlike Marksman, Demon Avenger have very easy job advancement making it very beginner friendly. With all the perks that comes with this class, Demon Avenger certainly owns a spot in this guide.

----------------------------------------------------------

3. Luminous

I have a lot of trouble deciding between which one is better between Demon Avenger and Luminous. But in the end, I have decided, Luminous is just slightly better than Demon Avenger.

Players have been claiming that how overpowered this class is during it's initial release. This create a lot of hate for this class and the dispute was so bad that players came up with ridiculous argument to justify that it is overpowered. The reason behind this is simply because Luminous have the ability to  wipe a map clean with just spamming Reflection while standing still. This skill itself have pretty good range, but once it hits something, it will start bouncing from monster to monster. Just imagine, electricity that can be conducted through air as a medium. Ridiculous, right?

The best part of this skill? It does 420 X 4 and with 50% damage enhancement during Light state and multiple more enhancement from hyper skill, making this class almost unrivaled when it comes to map control.

However, this class also comes with a drawback and that is its ability to do 1v1 damage. Even though Reflection and its counterpart, Apocalypse, does a lot of damage, this class simply just isn't fast enough to keep up with other classes.

To summarize this class, this class is extremely overpowered when it comes to mobbing but extremely weak at the same time when it comes to 1v1 damage. But if you want to be a playground bully(you get what I mean...), this class is certainly the class for you.

----------------------------------------------------------

2. Kaiser

Another one of the damage warhead and probably the ex-top damage dealer only losing out to Xenon and maybe Marksman. This class attacks with multiple hits and does a phenomenal amount of hits per minute.

But unlike Marksman which all you do is holding down Snipe. This class actually requires you to use a combination of multiple skills in order to achieve maximum damage. Skills such as Wing beat, Gigas Wave and Final transfiguration is Kaiser's key asset. The Final transfiguration is like a "Devil Trigger" to the Kaiser. After you filled up the gauge on your right , it basically allows you to transform into this armored Dragonoid warrior and boost your damage by 30% as well your critical.

During Final form, there is no stopping to this class, super defense from bosses are completely useless against the Kaiser and your critical sky rocket to a point where it even rivals the critical rate of the bowmens.

However, the Final form also comes with a drawback. It basically reduces your attack speed or rather it resets all the speed boost from your skills. In some cases this might even lower your damage output over time. So use it at your own risk, and do the testing for yourself. But in most case, it should increase your damage output due to the 30% damage and critical boost.

----------------------------------------------------------

1. Xenon

Here's a simple way to summarize Xenon:

Okay, that's all for this guide. I will see you on my next post, bye.
...

On a more serious note,  I won't be going through any Xenon's attack. Because any skills toss out by Xenon is incredibly lethal no matter how you use it or what Lv the skill is. Just spam away your Zandatsu... eerrr, I mean Beam Dance and you will be shredding mobs into bits in no time.

Unlike other classes, Xenon doesn't use only 1 primary stats, instead it uses 3. Which is Str, Dex and Luk. All 3 stats are being valued equally(primary) and non of them are to be considered as secondary.

With that being said, equip such as Zakum helm doesn't just increase your primary stats by 15, instead it increases it by 45. 15 on Str, 15 on Dex and 15 on Luk... This is almost triple of what a usual class would normally get from a Zakum helm and as you level higher, more and more equips will have heavy multiple stats enhancement such as Nova equips and Tyrant equips. This enhancement can go up to 165 increase per stats and multiply that by 3.... Most class won't even be able to stand a spec of a chance when being compared up against the Xenon.
