1. Sub-Character Class Selection Criteria
- Difficulty: Classes that both new and existing Maple players can learn without burden
- Practical DPS: Classes without overly difficult combos or cancels, and with stable damage dealing
- Class Performance: Classes with at least a minimum level of performance
- Simple Structure: Classes without complex elements like gauges or cancels
01:23 - 04:31
2. Bowmaster
- A perfect class with no flaws as a sub-character
- Easy difficulty, good practical DPS, decent DPM
- Damage Cycle: Use Sequence, then use Storm of Arrows
- Utility: HP recovery with Vampiric Arrows, Mirage skill that prevents death
- Highly recommended with Hyper Burning
04:41 - 05:31
3. Viper
- Damage Cycle: Use Serpent Screw, then only use Inrage
- Excellent mobility, with Screw Punch and Curious Charge
- Recommended for players who aren't good at dealing consistent damage: Screw deals damage for you
- Has 2 dash skills
05:36 - 06:24
4. Advantages of Viper
- Excellent burst damage compression, resulting in strong practical DPS
- Suitable for sub-characters due to its easy difficulty
- High DPM at 610
06:25 - 07:46
5. Striker
- High-ranking DPM
- High proportion of consistent damage and requires many combos, which may make it difficult
- Has a 45-second invincibility skill, but survival skills are weak
- Fast boss clear time
- Wave cancel is not essential
08:16 - 09:21
6. Hero
- Easy difficulty, simple structure
- Damage Cycle: Use Sequence, then only use Raging Blow
- Combo Deathfault is not a damage skill, but a 25-second cooldown invincibility skill
- Mobility is ambiguous
09:37 - 10:41
7. Angelic Buster
- The ultimate one-button class
- Has an invincibility skill (Energy Burst): Invincible for 10 seconds
- Has 60-second and 2-minute invincibility skills
- Excellent burst damage compression, resulting in high practical DPS
- Low DPM means low high-end potential, but high low-end potential
- Good for sub-characters, but not recommended for in-depth leveling
11:19 - 12:46
8. Why Not Recommend Classes with High DPM
- Classes with only high DPM require high levels of cancels and difficult combos
- High fatigue when selected as a sub-character
- Shadower: Requires Assassinate cancel
- Khali: Requires many cancels, so DPM may decrease depending on control skill
- It's better to choose an easy class
12:47 - 13:09
9. Conclusion
- The best class among the five is Bowmaster
- The remaining classes are alternatives to Bowmaster
- Bowmaster has high DPM, easy difficulty, and good utility
13:10 - 14:45
10. Not Recommended Classes
- Illium: Unique operation and difficult because you have to use orbs
- Adele: Many things to worry about, such as Order and gauge management
- Dual Blade: Requires a cooldown reduction hat
- Wind Archer: Lower DPM than Bowmaster
14:46 - 15:20
11. Not Recommended Classes (Continued)
- Eunwol: Low DPM and requires backward movement cancel
- Low practical DPS, making it the worst for leveling as a sub-character
15:21 - 15:46
12. Lara
- DPM has risen to around 581
- Not as trash as before
- Just play Bowmaster.
