MapleStory - Guide to Demon Avenger

[@Kerrfuffle]

Blood Pact reduces flat HP on equips by half. It’s to counter the various stat sources that no other class has access to like set effects, % hyper stat, % hp from DK's legion block, egregious amounts of HP from event stats, alchemy potions, the upcoming legion artifact and the larger bonus potentials in regular worlds. It’s why DA can feel underpowered in Reboot due to the lack of our insane spell trace scrolls and larger bpots. 1% HP for DA gives less range than 1% Stat for any other class in almost all points of the game.

[@Kerrfuffle]

You forgot to mention that Maple Warrior's effects for DA are passive so it’s the only class that doesn’t need to cast it or dedicate an auto buff slot for. Nether Slice having an extra line over Lunar Slash doesn’t mean anything. Lunar Slash does more damage overall. Lunar also procs Infernal Exceed so it’s doing 5 lines most of the time if lines are a concern (PNO whale I guess?)

[@Kerrfuffle]

5 exceed stacks from Thousand Swords is not a downside. In bossing, we don’t weave this attack, unless we want to rush Max Overload in order to heal in heal locked settings and it’s immensely helpful in that situation. In mobbing, it’s rare for us to use an Exceed skill since we transition to stationary rotations later on with just Thousand Swords, Nether Shield and Erda Fountain (plus Bats if you’re well funded.) Thousand Swords' exceed stacks will help maintain Overload Release's buff (25% fd) while training.

[@Kerrfuffle]

Demonic Blast not only ignores Frenzy's healing restrictions but also completely ignores healing restrictions in heal locked bosses. It will heal you for 25% HP regardless of your situation, as long as you hit the boss and aren't blinded (Blast can sometimes not heal on hit if you dealt MISS damage.) Overload Release can also heal you in heal locked situations but with only 20% of its original potency. A max stack Release will heal you for 20%. Of course this doesn't ignore Frenzy like Blast does. It's important to note that all your SKILL HP costs are reduced by 90% in heal locked situations (even Ghost Park) except for V skills, which is where Forbidden Contract can be used without gutting your final damage. You will be able to cast V skills for free when you want to burst without healing up despite skills having no consumption.

[@Kerrfuffle]

Revenant's cooldown is based on the damage taken that you store in your HP bar during the skill. You reduce the Thorns of Fury's cooldown by 1 second for every 25% damage you've stored. Your own skill consumption contributes to this charging which eliminates the need for a boss to slap you around as they'll probably be bound during burst. 6th job reduces the required stored damage per 1 second of cooldown as you level Revenant up (from 100% stored, to 80%, to 60%)

[@Kerrfuffle]

9:28 About Overload Release - Some Exceed basics: You have 10% lifesteal. Being under Lv. 30 Frenzy's restriction lowers this to 2% lifesteal (1% for Lv. 29) When you fall under 30% HP, you are no longer under Frenzy's effects, and can lifeheal 10% again. Once you're at maximum stacks, your healing is reduced from 10% to 3% (2% without reduce overload hyper passive) even when not under Frenzy's restrictions. After 5th job, you will have Demonic Frenzy on the entire time when playing this class. It's not actually viable to boss with Frenzy off. You will hardly ever be in danger from mob attacks due to how Arcane and Sacred force massively reduce their damage on you, not that their damage is even a threat without this mechanic. You will only use Overload Release to refresh your 25% fd buff around every 2 minutes. It's no different in bossing if you're using Lv. 30 Frenzy, as you'll hardly fall below 30% HP thanks to having 2% lifesteal per hit so restoring your lifesteal to its full potency isn't important. Using Lv. 29 Frenzy though, with only 1% lifesteal per hit, you will constantly be sitting on 30% of your HP. You will find yourself using it to heal against consistent chip damage when you fall below 30% HP. It's difficult to fight your way up to 30% HP with only 3% lifesteal (2% if not using reduce overload hyper passive)

Very good guide compilation. It makes me understand the DA new mechs a lot easier. Thanks for your work!

[@TheRedEyeDragon]

As one of the 5 ppl that main this class thank you.

what in the world i just needed this ... 250 da mule burned and i waqs hating surviving with him

[@Nimsan]

Such a great straightforward guide, Wish I had this kind of production value in my vid lol. Class seems a bit much of a hassle to play though

[@ExtraPainful]

Thank you so much for this guide! This is like a TL;DR of the discord 😅

[@ETNCCH]

who can withstand more critical hits from Demon Slayer or Demon Avenger bosses?

[@dyrania]

Yo wait i actually needed this for my mule

[@pasteveryfate]

hi i'm new. for the trinodes i don't see a reason they need to be specific 3 for bossing and specific 3 for mobbing. as long as i have all 3 skills on a trinode, i can use that, right?

[@Decatei]

Correct! The order does not matter. If you plan on playing a class as a main, it doesn't matter which skills are on what node, as long as you get all those skills across however many nodes required for that class

[@estevamcoelho815]

u forgot crit rate on IA. DA has one of the lower Crits in the game.

What’s super stance?

[@midcancarry9741]

There are some bosses that push you even if you have 100% stance. The super stance prevents that from happening

[@deno7047]

@@midcancarry9741 thank you!

[@destractos]

As a 28x DA main, DON'T max demon frenzy, keep it at lvl 29. You want to keep your HP LOW. Getting all of the FD from frenzy is mandatory just to match up to other classes

[@kikopo999]

You can keep an enhanced slot at lvl4 instead and max demon frenzy. You will have the flexibility to just swap it between the lvl5 or lvl4 slot depending on whether you want the extra healing or not.

[@EvilOnimusha]

@@kikopo999 Holy crap! I did not know about the Lv4 V Enhancement slot. That is so much more better than making a new Demonic Frenzy node. Thanks for the tip! Fellow DA main here.

[@kikopo999]

Why is the evolving secondary weapon better then the basic one?

[@Decatei]

The evolving force shield has 2 extra attack on it, and 100 extra HP! Very minimal difference, but still technically an upgrade over the basic one

[@jj985955]

Demon slayer please

[@zeb3403]

yo dude no vid on the new nexon announcement??

[@Decatei]

I don't like making topical videos with things that can change very shortly after! I've thought about it with past controversies like the erda cap a month or two back, but chose not to because I wanted to avoid drama or make videos that will age like milk instantaneously afterwards. I don't agree with most of Nexon's recent decisions and a lot of them are extremely awful and upsetting to me, but I want to at least still try and make videos that will last longer than a week at most

[@Yohruu]

aint no way bro said DA is one of the strongest bossers 💀admittedly you're tryna make a guide to a class you haven't played past 210.

[@Kerrfuffle]

You’re just as clueless as him and probably think the game revolves around party bossing or classes juiced by 10as with little to no effort required to play optimally.

I don't get why in all your videos you have a regular, constantly deep voice for 99.9% of the video then you try to go kawaii mode with the "That's all!" in a clearly fake, much higher voice pitch, are you a "he/they" and this is how you make sure to let others know about your discord femboy activities on the side or is it to make your viewers think you're adorable to condition them slightly more to donate to your Kofi?
