Best Links for Bossing in Maplestory

There’s no doubt that bosses are challenging in Maplestory — meaning you’ll need to have the appropriate links in preparation. The goal is to increase damage and critical rate, specifically targeting general boss damage. The links below tackle all those categories.

  • Ark – Damage increases as you stay in combat.
  • Adele – Boss damage and damage per party member increases.
  • Angelic Buster – The percentage of damage for 10 seconds increases.
  • Beast Tamer – Boss damage, critical rate, max HP, and max MP increases.
  • Demon Slayer – Boss damage increases.
  • Explorer Mage – Chance to deal a percentage of damage and percentage of ignore defense increases.
  • Explorer Thief – Damage buff increases.
  • Illium – Damage increase while moving.
  • Kanna – Damage increases
  • Luminous – Ignore defense increases.
  • Kinesis – Critical damage increases.
  • Shade – Chance to not die.

Most important are the links stating “boss damage” and Shade, which could save you from dying against a boss and starting over. Feel free to swap the other ones out if you feel there is a better solution, but I recommend players always include Shade and Boss damage links — such as Adele, Beast Tamer, and Demon Slayer.
