Preciate the time you dedicate to videos like these 👍🏾 lookin foward to the release in a couple weeks🔥

[@JellyT-qw7cg]

i've been waiting for dis!

[@ino145]

Thank you for this. I just got back to MS after a really long time.. And having fun with Zero. Some portions had no idea what you were talking about, but that's me, that doesn't know too much about this game. All in all, thanks very informative!

[@eijnaeel7726]

HAHAHA TY FOR THE ZERO GUIDE! I HAVE BEEN PLAYING THIS CLASS WRONG THE WHOLE TIME xDD

[@karmi-]

Ty! Prepping for the release on reboot and definitely needed this.

[@nick-xu9wz]

wow.. its rare to see content this in depth and thought out in maplestory, good job

[@tn1038]

This guide is so good. I saved so much mesos with the flame tip. I got 17 att on lv 110 weapon. Thank you!

[@maromv]

Thank you Steve! Such a useful guide for zero main like me. BTW, zero is my main thanks to you! Such a fun class

[@PCGAMELIFE0]

Totally useful video. Thanks. So excited Zero has come to reboot.

[@janjan572]

If only you had such a detailed guide for more jobs! Very informative for every player new and old.

[@IKenAkiraI]

2:15:15 just an add-on to this part , this burst step avoid also works for Lotus P1 lasers when you burst step down from top platform to bottom floor. I used that trick more often as the lasers sometimes get lag and flickering backwards and Flash Assault teleport is not consistent for it. The burst step down is better way in my case

[@x3TheAran59]

Yeah, thank you for adding in I actually forgot to add in this part! Burst Step can also tele from the tiny front part for all directions similar to Flash Assault .

[@SheepyPeka]

Does me having my chat filled with "you can't use this skill yet" mean I am a good zero player? :')

[@x3TheAran59]

Hell yeahhh! Gotta fill that chat up

[@leechanhee2350]

I kept this video in case I play zero and I came back to it so I can learn for when I hyperburn Zero :D. Thank you!

[@95DreadLord]

The most important takeaway for me from this was that since zero has an insane number of possible combos you can do you aren't tied to a single rotation and you can use which ones you like and which ones fit the situation the best

[@alexYJZ]

Steve : "it gonna be a long video" Me: meh , i m ok with 1hr video , no problem . see time 2hr video !! HELLL YEAHHHH

[@QuietTokes]

Thank you very much for this guide. It's going to help me doing my new zero. Which I hope to Hyper Burn to 250 for the sweet 12% exp legion block, and just to say I got zero to 250. :)

thank you steve, really helpful

[@playmr546]

Nice one Steve 👍 This is a hardwork to spend so many hours to do this video. This job cant play well if no idea what to do same as mercedies, blaster, cadena, evan, aran, kinesis, illium aran. These job have their own combo and system just make me headache

[@ry-taan5000]

OMG steve ya the besttt thank youuu very muchii :D

[@GrEEnF1Re1]

Thanks for the class, Im gonna be maining a Zero on Reebot and wanted to know more about the class

[@Abducky]

Your video was very lengthy and detailed, very good guide. Extremely helpful for me, especially the combo rotation. I was trying to figure it out on my own, but was fudging up something. The class is extremely fun once I know what I'm doing better! Preciate it.

[@DragnPiano]

Thanks man this is helpful :)

[@Iord32]

Is still up to date if you just consider 6th job as only new content?

omggg cant believe i have not sub to you. you definitely deserve it!!! thanks for this GUIDE!

[@luqmanazman7935]

Hello Mr. Steve, Very nice video about Zero, i understand a lot now! But i want to ask is it really necessary to flame weapon to tier 6 using those resurrection flame and then use rainbow/black flame for tier 7? Cant i just use rainbow flame right away to skip from low tier(tier 5 and below) to tier 7?

[@x3TheAran59]

Yup, yes you can do that too but do note that getting the highest flame is very rare on a Zero weapon.

[@luqmanazman7935]

@@x3TheAran59 I understand now. Thank you ☺ ☺ 👍

[@ChingChengHanji_]

Updated guide? Not sure if the flames are the same

[@wongbawornchavengvorakul1253]

Thank you very much for this helpful video, but I wonder what is the optimized hyper stats for zero???

[@x3TheAran59]

Same as all jobs, DMG%, Boss DMG%, IED %, Crit DMG %, if your Crit Rate not 100% then can up Crit Rate, additional can go for WA/MA/STAT or even Arcane Force for 1.5x extra damage if you don't have enough Arcane Force.

[@thatboyguru1710]

I know zeroes got a line buff but didn't they nerf the damage to be equal? For example "Rising Slash: Damage, based on when the skill is mastered, has been reduced from 630% to 210%, while the attack count has been increased from 2 to 6 times." It's the same damage so what's the difference before and after for this class damage wise besides the one skill that doesn't move you anymore? I say this because some final damage got removed and some people in GMS saying dps is 15-20% lower. But I am not a master zero so I can't confirm.

[@cloudlim9702]

sry x3TheAran59 just want to inform i think maplesea zero shadow strike will still move in front when using the skill . may i know when the kms patch the changes to this skill?

[@jayj.manalo2271]

Thanks for this guide! I just got tier 6 on my 110 weapon. When should we start spell tracing? Is it best to spell trace on the 110 or upgrade then spell trace?

[@_Ryu]

When I try to do the static standing still combo, my zero moves a bit every time they tag... why?? A lot of people in the comments have this issue so please respond

[@x3TheAran59]

You'll have to hit a mob in order to stay at a specific spot and not move

[@wanzaki1114]

2h lect damn i watch whole of it starting zero now hahah ty

[@skeezmuff]

Very very nice guide! Oh and it's possible to burst step thru lotus laser at p1

[@x3TheAran59]

Yes, similar to Flash Assault the tiny part, I actually forgot to record that part in. But Burst Step you can tele from the tiny top, btm, left, right part for all directions.

[@iHuoXin]

Can you explain again how to use joint attack on second method? Do you just use any skill and then click joint attack?

[@tuantuan6276]

Im a Aran main. Realy hope u make an vid like this about aran or all class:))

[@zeniateo4196]

Hi can i ask a question? For the AWAKEN star Royal hair coupon, is it completely random in terms of the hair colour and style u get? Or can you choose what you want? They gave this lucky star thing too

[@x3TheAran59]

Not sure on that, but should be random.

[@CDRLocosTacos]

I wish i wouldve found this guide before making my zero 😭

[@TheUncleCactus]

In this guide he talks about Alpha's Shadow Strike not moving you unless you hold left/right directional buttons; unless I'm misunderstanding something, as of this most recent patch, it appears that it still moves you. Is this something KMS has that GMS doesn't have yet?

[@x3TheAran59]

Yes, that update will only be available after the AWAKE update.

[@Kuhekin]

Hey I wonder why is Zero ranked so low at the dps chart? Is it due to some kind of bug?

[@areszou8137]

Hi Steve, just a quick question on the level flames. Does flame 110 give you up to tier6 stats? Or is it like flame 110 gives you up to t3, 120 gives t4, so on...

[@x3TheAran59]

Only Rainbow and Black flames able to roll highest tier. All the rest can only roll up to 2nd highest tier.

Hi Steve, can u list the combo skill( situational 2- everything) like others combo pls, u did too fast i cant see that! Tk bro, very nice video

[@fustinjong]

I made a zero mule a long time ago for legion on reboot. I didn't know to keep the weapon at 140 at the time and now it's type 7 after checking when I logged back in. Is there any way to downgrade the weapon? Should I remake a new zero during the next event just to start the weapon from 140?

[@x3TheAran59]

Sadly you can't downgrade the weapon once you upgraded it. If you are planning to main Zero the most cost effective way is to remake one and Star Force the weapon at 140

[@JvLeChris]

Like first, chill and watch cause I know it's gonna be lit

[@asta88]

just a warning for you gms reboot players, shadow strike has not been updated yet and moves you forward, I learned the hard way.

[@rhymos6072]

The best class in maplestory!

[@tomapple64]

Can’t wait for the gms Neo update so I can finally play as zero... and hopefully eventually beast tamer 😅

[@anthonybartolomeo1293]

Do we upgrade the zero skill in gms now or do we have to wait for a specific patch ? The one where you teleport with alpha

[@x3TheAran59]

The Shadow Strike change that not move will only be available in the future patches after AWAKE update. The system will auto up the skill for you by default, you will need to use SP reset to reset it if you want to leave the skill blank.

[@TheeDonuts]

Does the zero weapon have to have boss if I want it to get boss when I flame? Also does star forcing and tracing scale like flames or would it be better do scroll/starforce at higher levels

[@x3TheAran59]

Yes it does have Boss flames, but you would wanna go for Weapon Attack. Star Force and Traces scales accordingly, you can perfect your weapon at Lv140 then only upgrade it.

[@TheeDonuts]

@@x3TheAran59 would going for both attack and boss be fine?

Hey steve, any idea why when my zero tag, they move infront by abit. Im playing MSEA. Appreciate the respond!

[@skelerexhuynh]

I have a question. If I 22* my type 7 weapon and use my arcane umbra essence to get the type 9, will the stars carry over to the arcane weapon just like the potential and the flame? or will it drop back to 12*?

[@IKenAkiraI]

It carry over, just think it's literally Todd hammer in steroid Thus this is why you need to 22* when you at low level as the cost is relatively low and doesn't cost any penalty to get new weapon

[@skelerexhuynh]

@@IKenAkiraI so I HAVE to 22* my weapon at lvl 100... I thought it was too good to be true lol so I had to ask.

do i start bossing after i reach 180? which is after finishing the story line?

[@exodus206]

So just to clarify, if I boom a level 140 zero weapon I don't need an essence to revive the weapon? Also how to make it the weapon level 140?

[@x3TheAran59]

Nope Lv140 don't need essence, and if bomb you can talk to Weapon UI upgrade weapon button it will give you back the Lv140 one.

Not really, you will just require more mesos. It's highly recommended if you perfect the weapon at lower level due to its cost efficiency.
