Aran is one of MapleStory Legends Warrior Hero who specializes in Polearm and Combo attacks! Each attack stacks up 1 combo which is consumed to activate variety of powerful skills. Aran primary stat is STR (strength). Combos earned through battles are forfeited if Aran does not continuously attack enemies. MapleStory Chaos Patch have removed the quest requirement to unlock the skills and this makes it easier to plan out our Aran skill build.

Explanation:
Add 5 SP (Skill Points) into Double Swing to unlock Combat Step. Max Combat Step first as its very useful for travelling purposes.

Then, add 1 SP into Combo Ability to unlock Combo Smash. You can now use your combos by activating Combo Smash to attack enemies out of your regular attack range. The reason why Combo Smash is max later is due to enemies are pretty weak in this level range where most can be killed within 1-2 hits with regular Double Swing which does not require any combo to activate. Finally, max Combo Ability and dump the remaining SP into Polearm Booster. Combo Smash is required to be maxed to unlock Combo Fenrir (Aran 2nd Job Skill) which is a much more powerful version than Combo Smash.
