For whatever reason, the developers seem to have a special preference for Druid class. It has been strong for several seasons, and it is still doing very well in The Pit in Season 7.
When players reach the endgame, powerful monsters make it necessary to have a truly powerful build to make players unstoppable in the endgame and have fun. There are many powerful Druid builds, but the most powerful is Cataclysm Druid Build.
Required Aspects: Stormshifter’s Aspect
Required Uniques: Tempest Roar, Mjölnic Ryng, Airidah’s Inexorable Will
Because Cataclysm is a powerful ultimate damage-dealing skill, the idea of this build is to minimize the cooldown of Cataclysm. Airidah’s Inexorable Will and Stormshifter’s Aspect can both reduce the cooldown of your ultimate skill, so these two items are essential.
If you want to farm gold happily in the endgame, then these items are almost essential.
The basic skill of Druid is Maul, which can enhance Druid’s Spirit. At the same time, you also need to point out Enhanced Maul. It can increase your maximum health percentage. This can increase the tolerance in battle. When you are besieged by a group of enemies, more health can keep you fighting longer.
Pulverize is a core skill. When other skills are on cooldown, using Pulverize allows Druid to continue to deal area damage to the enemy. Maul and Pulverize can work together to not only continue to cause damage to the enemy but also protect Druid to a certain extent.
Debilitating Roa can apply debuffs to surrounding enemies. This skill can not only reduce the damage you receive but also provide a certain degree of assistance in the team.
Earthen Bulwark can provide a barrier for Druid when activated. This barrier can make some damage in a short period. How much can be absorbed depends on Druid’s maximum health? The higher the health, the more it absorbs. At the same time, enhancing this skill can also make Druid unstoppable, which is conducive to Druid getting rid of control and moving to a suitable output position.
Hurricane can continuously deal damage to the surrounding area. You can enhance Hurricane with Enhanced Hurricane and Savage Hurricane. Endless Tempest is a must-have skill because it can extend the duration of Hurricane and Cataclysm.
Occult Gems are new gems in Season 7. Each gem can give the character armor and additional special powers.
Witch Power is the theme of Season 7
Unique Power: Vengeful Spirit
Normal Powers:
Purging Touch and Voice of the Stars can work together to allow your Cataclysm to do more damage.
Mercenaries can provide players with an extra boost, don’t ignore their help in the game. Players can hire two types of mercenaries with Gold.
Main Mercenary:
Varyana, Berserker
Skills: Cleave, Recklessness, Whirlwind, No Escape
Reinforcement:
Raheir, Shieldbearer
Both of these mercenaries can be of great help to Druid when facing a group of enemies
Cataclysm Druid is very powerful. When Druid releases Cataclysm, all enemies will be crushed by the powerful damage. Cataclysm Druid also performs well when facing bosses. But you can’t think that Cataclysm Druid is invincible. You still need to pay attention to the order of skill release. When your health reaches a dangerous value, release defensive skills to recover in time.
In general, the feature of Cataclysm Druid Build is simplicity. When the player completes this build, there is almost no difficulty in operation. Just wait for the cooldown of Cataclysm to end, and then release it. Cataclysm Druid allows players to enjoy invincible fun in The Pit, seasonal quests, and nightmare dungeons.
S-Game recently released a demo video about the boss battle, which aroused the strong interest of all players. Below I will share some information about Phantom Blade Zero with you based on this video.
The conventional offensive means of the game are the light attack and heavy attack of the main weapon. Taking PlayStation controller as an example, the corresponding buttons for light and heavy attacks are the square button and the triangle button. Players can use the combination of light and heavy attacks to perform combos, cause damage, and reduce the enemy’s health.
There are two main defensive means in the game:
L1 defense is divided into continuous defense and perfect defense. Press and hold the L1 button. The character will take a defensive posture and defend against the enemy’s attack at the cost of consuming Sha-Chi. If the protagonist’s Sha-Chi is exhausted, there will be a big stiffness, and he will be unable to move for a short time, allowing the enemy to attack.
In contrast, pressing L1 at the moment before the enemy attacks can achieve perfect defense, which will not only not consume your own Sha-Chi, but will reduce the enemy’s Sha-Chi. If the timing is not accurate and perfect defense is not achieved, a certain amount of Sha-Chi will be consumed. Perfection can be judged by the orange sparks of the weapon collision during defense. If the enemy’s Sha-Chi is exhausted, of course, it will enter a big stiffness, and this is the best time for the protagonist to attack.
The slide dodge of the R1 button is a relatively safe defense method in the game. It does not consume any resources and can handle almost all attacks of the enemy in the game.
Among the many enemy attack methods, there are two special attacks that require extra care, namely red light attack and blue light attack.
It is not difficult to see that the core combat system of the game is centered around Sha-Chi.
Different from the defensive system in Sekiro, Sha-Chi is both a defensive resource and an offensive resource. The player’s Sha-Chi can be used for defense or to launch a heavy attack with the triangle button to perform a combo. The enemy can also defend your combo, but it will reduce the enemy’s Sha-Chi.
In summary, the most basic combat strategy of the game is to use L1 to defend perfectly and use the triangle button to perform a heavy attack at the right time, while guarding against the enemy’s undefended red light attack and using R1 to resolve it. For players with a basic understanding of action games, the basic combat mode can be mastered in about ten minutes.
This main weapon is actually the two weapons held by the protagonist in both hands. The short knife in the left hand is Crimson Viper, which is mainly flexible and maneuverable, mainly used in light attacks; the long sword in the right hand is White Serpent, which has large and long attack movements and is mainly used in heavy attacks.
The biggest feature of White Serpent & Crimson Viper is flexibility and maneuverability, and it can execute enemies from a distance.
In the first stage of the boss battle, the player needs to fight seven enemies at the same time. Obviously, the chief is our main target.
If you only attack the chief, you will find that when his health drops to a certain value, a companion will use silk thread to replenish his health. At this moment, you realize that you also need to reduce the number of enemies on the battlefield as soon as possible, and don’t give the chief a chance to recover.
The snake-shaped long sword White Serpent is swung wide, and the action often rotates in a circle, which is very suitable for dealing with multiple enemies. More importantly, the short knife Crimson Viper can trigger the execution action at a distance without getting close to the body, which is very useful for quickly clearing the field.
This weapon’s combo often has a small stiffness when closing the move, and it can stop at any time. When attacking, you can immediately press the perfect defense when you close your hand, and the attack and defense switch is extremely fast.
The feel of Soft Snake Sword is completely different from that of White Serpent & Crimson Viper. When you first use it, it is just like it looks, soft and weak, with low damage and poor ability to reduce Sha-Chi.
The hidden mechanism of Soft Snake Sword is: after holding down L1 to defend, press the triangle button to initiate a new parry action. If you have resources (the points below the weapon icon), consuming one grid of energy to parry the enemy’s blue light attack perfectly can almost instantly clear the enemy’s Sha-Chi value and derive a new combo move.
This demonstration is one-to-many. In action games, one-to-many is not a well-designed battle scene, or it is not compatible. Friends who often play action games must have a deep understanding: the one-to-many in Ninja Gaiden is very fun, but the one-to-one boss battle is not so refreshing; the one-to-one duel in Sekiro is very exciting, but it is easy to be killed by attacks from all sides when it is one-to-many. One-to-one and one-to-many are not easy to balance.
Just like in action movies, if the villains rush forward, two fists cannot beat four hands. Even if the protagonist has a lot of skills, he will probably lose. If the villains stand aside and watch, it is too fake, and anyone can see that it is acting.
The soldiers can neither rush in all at once and beat the protagonist so that he can’t fight back, nor can they just stand by and watch indifferently. These seven brothers have provided a new solution.
When there are many people on the scene, the seven will frequently set up formations and attack together. This not only resets the battlefield situation and prevents the player from being surrounded for a long time, but also gives the player a good time to cause damage, because this move is easy to resolve and can immediately make a set of heavy damage.
When there are not many people on the scene, his companions will take the initiative to adjust their position, surround the protagonist, and attack in turn. This method seems to surround the player, but because the attack and defense speed of the game is very fast, the enemy’s movement time is completely enough for the player to deal with the enemy in front of him, which actually gives the player time to defeat them one by one.
At the end of the demonstration video, the protagonist uses a giant axe to end the chief. It should be noted here that when this giant axe is activated, the protagonist is not invincible and will stop moving when hurt. The video demonstrator is obviously very familiar with this move, so he confidently uses this move to end the battle.
Phantom Blade Zero will announce its release date this year, and you must be impatient! Let us wait for new news about this game together.

In Maple Story 2 you are able to customize your character in a variety of ways. You are able to buy clothing items from the cash shop as well as chat bubble customization items and badges that change your name tag background. If buying an outfit does not fit your mood, you can take those merits and customize your own outfit via their Maple Workshop. It is, of course, recommend you have some knowledge of using a creative program to customize the templates. Not only can you customize your clothes you can customize mounts as well. There are a number of mounts you can buy templates for and customize.
To add to the customization you can also customize your home. There are a number of blocks to use to customize and most are free. If none of those is to your fancy, like with clothes and mounts, you can buy block templates and customize those. MapleStory 2 offers a variety of ways to make yourself as unique as possible. If you want to make some merits back, you can take your cool designs and put them up for sale on the Design Shop in-game. It takes merits to post the item to sell and there is no guarantee people will want to buy it, but it is worth a shot.
I've already spoken about the levelling experience and how you can level to 50 in about two days. Now with the cap increasing to 60, it takes a bit longer than two days to get to the cap. After you hit level 50 the levelling slows a great deal.
If you are not rushing to hit max, know there are a bunch of mini-games you can do in between questing and levelling. These minigames will pop up on the side of the screen from time to time. Each offers experience and Mesos as a reward. If you are able to make it to last round you are given a Kay Coin which can be used in Queenstown at the spin wheel for prizes. If you would like to know the type of minigames check out the Maple Story 2 site for in-depth details on them as there are many.
Another thing to do in between levelling is playing music and fishing. Both activities give you experience points and can be seen as an alternate way to level your character. If you do not want to stick around at the computer to manually do these activities, it is possible to put them on auto mode using either a voucher or by paying merits. I found this to be a great way to level a character overnight or while I'm doing other work.
As with most MMOs, this game has to craft. At the moment there are limitations on how many materials can be gathered at one time. You reach the limit when it says "impossible" and then must wait for it to refresh. As far as the kinds of crafting there are Smithing, Handicrafts, Alchemy, and Cooking. Each has a specific type of gathering to pair with it. The gathering types are Mining, Foraging, Ranching, and Farming. Ranching goes with handicrafts and farming with cooking.
For the most part, these crafting trees lead to unlocking costume parts and housing items by ranking them up. The player can craft items to increase gains for different gathering or crafting. They are also able to make items that provide temporary buffs. In the later levels of crafting players are able to make some weapons though they may not be as strong as what you can acquire from a dungeon.
One way to get some use out of the crafting is to hire an assistant. In the housing, players are able to hire NPC assistants which have crafting skills and ranks. Higher ranking assistants cost merits. Assistants have an initial merit cost, then, in order to keep the assistant, you have to pay a monthly fee. These assistants are able to craft different items for the player.
As you can see there are many things to do outside of the general questing and levelling. Each area on the map has an area quest list of things to do. Completing these awards you stars which goes towards unlocking rewards in the map view. Opening this map view, you will see areas marked with red sword icons. I'm sure you can guess what this means: You guessed it, PvP areas do exist.
I have hopped in and out of those areas but most times I've found them to be empty or people just going there for a quest but not looking for a fight. If PvP is your type of thing you can do it in those areas. These areas do have shelters a player can go to when they want to avoid or take a break from that PvP life. Currently, the PVP Arena is not in as developers are working out gear and such for that. It is slated to be reactivated in early December.
You will also see on the map menu red monster icons. These appear when there are world boss monsters appearing in an area. These monsters are typically tough and can take very long to solo. Most of these types of boss monsters have over 20 million HP at higher level areas which shows they are meant to be taken on by more than one person. There is one problem that many people have faced when fighting some of these for daily quests. There is, however, a huge amount of lag that comes from having so many players in one area attacking the same monster. If possible to get a group of people and go to a less populated channel but that can be hard at times especially if you are a solo or not in a guild.
Guilds are also in Maple Story 2. Guilds get to have a guild home area. In this area, you can add shops, assistants and get guild quests. As a leader, you can also activate guild buffs. As your guild levels and ranks up, you are able to purchase different looks for your group home. It takes an enormous amount of Mesos in order to do this, however. It is worth it in the end to have an area that might fit with your guild’s theme if it has one.
There is a battle royale mode in Maple Story 2 called Mushking Royale. As it is with other BR titles, this has seasons though at the moment it is still not active. From my experience in the closed beta, you will start by floating in a big air balloon jumping out over a large map. You can find items to pick up and throw at other players as well as battle monsters in the field for item drops to use. There are towers located around the map which will sound off when a player is near. This mode has some fun to it but can take a little getting used to since you do not use your everyday class skills.
With all that this game has come to offer I have found my fun in it. I understand the cutesy depiction of it may be a turn off for some who like realistic or more cartoon-like graphics that are not heavily anime-influenced but do not let that fool you. MapleStory 2 offers great dungeons, amazing boss fights, good class diversity and so far a pretty decent story. I know the story stops short of getting to a culmination of everything but if you've played the first MapleStory or any MMO you know this is par the course. Stories develop over time and so does gameplay.
Right now having reached the current max level of 60, I am enjoying just playing around. I spend most of my time doing dailies to save up different currencies for mounts. As well as completing daily missions in hopes to get voucher pieces to make templates to sell in my design shop. At the moment this is the endgame until the next content update. If you really want to see it at its most challenging get to level 50 and run some of the hard adventures for the first time. I recommend the Balrog fight, Temple of Immortals. Whereas it can be tough for me to the point of yelling obscenities, I really enjoy the experience.
I'm hoping since Nova's popped up recently in the story that maybe somewhere down the road we will get a Kaiser class in this. It is my favourite from MapleStory. I am looking forward to the future activities to be had in Maple Story 2. Also, the recent update that was posted October 16th, they are working on new weapon templates. I’m so excited about this because I’ll be able to make something for my Heavy Gunner that is better than a box.
Is MapleStory 2 worth getting into right now? Yes, it is. There is an awesome event going on, Mapleoply, where you play a version of monopoly that has various rewards on the board. One being "Roto Air Taxi" walkies that allow you to take a free helicopter ride to any map. No better time than now at the launch of an MMO to just level and have fun then when there are a bunch of people around to do dungeons with. If you can find a class you enjoy playing or something you enjoy doing give it a try for that.

Nexon’s MapleStory 2 has already attracted a huge number of players. The publisher confirmed that more than 1 million people downloaded the game through Steam and the Nexon launcher since its launch last week. That makes it one of the more popular massively multiplayer online games on Steam.
MapleStory 2 is the followup to one of the first free-to-play MMO megahits. The sequel gives players even more control over their characters. It also has a modern character-progression system and tools to build the world however you want. And those efforts have paid off through the huge download numbers as well as the “mostly positive” user reviews on Steam.
On the Steam stat’s page, MapleStory 2 is among the top 10 most played games right now. It had a peak concurrent player number of 33,200 today, which doesn’t include players using the Nexon Launcher. Right now, it is the No. 9 most-played game with 30,800 players. That puts it ahead of Grand Theft Auto V and just behind Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege and Rust.
Nexon says that it is adding more capacity to keep up with the influx of players. The publisher notes that it is doing extra work to add support for people in the Oceania region that includes Australia, Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
“Due to its rapid growth, the game continues to increase its servers,” reads a Nexon press release. “Especially for the Oceania server, where the player population continues to exceed expectations.”
It may have taken just a week, but that isn’t going to stop Nexon from celebrating. The publisher is preparing an in-game event to highlight its first massive milestone.
Beginning Friday, October 19, MapleStory 2 is getting a “Double Bonus Item Drop Event.” This will enable players to earn twice as many bonus items from completing dungeons. And a “Special Weekend Login Event” gives players a chance to earn special items for signing into the game throughout the weekend.
Of course, we’re heading deep into the month of October, which means it’s time for Halloween events. And MapleStory 2 isn’t going to miss out on the fun.
The Halloween event is live now. It gives players a chance to go on spooky quests in haunted dungeons. These include a murder mystery at the Mon Bloody Chouchou Hotel. Naturally, you can also earn themed items.
MapleStory? More like PumpkinStory! I’m sorry. That’s the best I have right now.

Make your own music and start a concert with your friends in MapleStory 2. Here’s how to get your own instruments in MapleStory 2.
Chances are, you’ve probably come across a few players who are jamming out with their guitars and pianos in MapleStory 2. These characters are usually hanging around town holding their own mini-concerts around the kingdom streets.
If you want to be just like them, you’ll need to get your hands on your own instrument first in MapleStory 2. There are a few ways you can get them, with the easiest one being through a quest.
When you reach level 20 or so, a new Maple Guide quest will give you a free Practice Digital Piano and teach you how to play music. The quest will also grant you a music sheet that you can use to start playing music, so you can also start performing on the street.
If you don’t want to wait that long, you can head on over to Tria and look for the music vendor. Just head near the Troy Inn and talk to the vendor who’s playing music to buy an instrument. Make sure to prepare your Mesos because they do cost a pretty penny.
There are different kinds of instruments in MapleStory 2 apart from the typical guitar and piano. Here’s the list of instruments you can buy from the music vendor:
Aside from instruments, you can also purchase music scores as well. You will need these scores if you plan on performing, so keep that in mind when planning your budget. As with custom clothes and outfits, you can also import your own music in MapleStory 2.
Firstly, you will need a Blank Music Score that you can purchase from the music vendor. Once you have it, right-click the music score to pull up a new menu with tools that you can use to start composing your tracks.
If you have music pre-made, you can import it to the game by copy-pasting your song code into the Blank Music Score. Once that’s done, just name your new score and start playing your music.
When it comes to performing on the street, simply open your inventory tab by pressing I and look for the Fishing/Music tab. Look for the instrument you want to use and click it to open another menu where you can choose which score you want to perform.

MapleStory 2 is filled with all sorts of quirky quests and missions. If you’re having trouble, here’s where the Stranger’s House location is in the game.
If you’re an active explorer in MapleStory 2, you’ve probably noticed the different exploration goals each map has to offer. Whenever you complete a certain goal, you’ll receive a star for that certain part of the map.
Apart from stars, you can also gain some experience and Mesos for your efforts, so it’s definitely worth working on achieving these exploration goals. That said, one particular mission in MapleStory 2 has you searching for the Stranger’s House to defeat the Mushmom inside.
The Stranger’s House is actually hidden pretty well in MapleStory 2, and it might take you a few tries to actually find it. Luckily, we know exactly where it is and we’ll lead you right to the Stranger’s House location.
The first thing you want to do is travel to Henesys, where you will find the exploration goal. From there, you want to head up north just above the red mushroom-shaped building. Climb the hills behind the building and you should come across an orange tree sticking out like a sore thumb.
That orange tree is actually the hidden entrance that will lead you to straight to the Stranger’s House location, so go ahead and interact with it. You’ll be transported to a side-scrolling map where you will find a little Mushkin waiting by the entrance.
If you’re in the right location, simply drop all the way down to the bottom of the map to find the Mushmom waiting for you in MapleStory 2. That being said, just keep an eye out on the orange tree to easily find the Stranger’s House in the Henesys map.
The Mushmom shouldn’t put up too much of a fight, so just defeat her to claim your hard-earned star in MapleStory 2. You’ll see the ruined house on the same level as the boss, and if you interact with the stone in front of it, you should pull up a deed. Congrats, that’s one more star added to your exploration collection!

MapleStory 2, the new isometric MMORPG finally arrives in the West today. The sequel launched in Korea all the way back in 2015, but is now out elsewhere in the world, following a closed beta that took place earlier this year.
For those of you not familiar with MapleStory, it blends some of the standards of the MMO genre’s fantasy traits with some aspects of the modern day. Also moving from the traditional take, MapleStory combines isometric worlds with Chibi-style characters. It’s due to go live later today, with server maintenance due to end in a few hours’ time.
As mentioned above, the MapleStory 2 closed beta kicked off in the Americas, Oceania, and Europe back in May, but some players will have had something of a jump on others. Those who bought into the Founder’s Pack will have access to the game’s Premium Club and been rewarded with some in-game currency. Head Starts were also available, which let players who bought in have access to the game from October 1.
MapleStory 2 retains the series’ focus on customization, allowing you to change up everything about your characters. There’s a brand-new class, however – Runeblade. It joins the Archer, Assassin, Berserker, Heavy Gunner, Knight, Priest, Thief, and Wizard classes, and wields a magical two-handed sword.
Maintenance on MapleStory 2’s Western servers is due to end at 18:00 BST (13:00 ET), so you’ll be able to play later tonight. Sadly, the MMO’s take on the battle royale, Mushking Royale, won’t be available at the game’s launch and will return with the start of the game’s first competitive season. You can check out the game’s official announcement trailer in the video above.
