Hayato Storyline

Hayato, Japan. June 21, 1582. Honnou-ji, Kyoto. Although the brutal warlord Oda Nobunaga was cementing his control of Japan, it wasn’t enough to slake his thirst for power. Seeking immortality and to become a new demon king, he prepared a ritual at Honnou-ji in Kyoto. The feudal lords banded together and waged a fierce battle with the Oda forces in a desperate last bid to stop the evil lord. While the armies clashed outside, the legendary samurai, Hayato, fought his way into the temple and challenged Oda himself to stop the ritual. While the two traded blows, a pillar of light erupted from the temple, casting all it enveloped into a stranged world. Weakened by the unfamiliar energy of this world, Hayato must regain his strength and battle once more against the spread of Nobunaga’s dark ambitions.

Hayato Notes

  • Although Hayato is male as far as the story is concerned, you’ll be able to play as female or male version of Hayato.
  • After the tutorial at Honnou-ji, your journey will continue at Momijigaoka, in the Mushroom Shrine area of Zipangu.
  • Hayato must have one of his special katana equipped in order to use all of his skills. Make sure that the weapon type says “katana” in the item description.
  • Since he is from ancient Japan and his primary language is Japanese, Hayato’s voice is in Japanese. His animated video has subtitles, and he occasionally speaks when performing some skills. The female version of Hayato has also been given voiceovers when performing certain skills.
  • Hayato and his Sengoku allies and enemies are able to communicate with the denizens of their new home through the magic of Maple World. Thus, their text dialogue will be translated.
  • The Tot’s Know-How guide system has been enabled for Hayato.
  • Katana for Hayato have been added to the wares of many weapon vendors.
  • Each Hayato character has its own individual Cash Inventory not shared with other characters.

MAPLESTORY HAYATO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What weapon does Hayato use?
Hayato uses a Katana, with a Wakizashi as his sub-weapon. The Wakizashi can be scrolled for potential.

What type of weapon is a Katana?
Katana is a two-handed weapon.

What is Hayato’s character card bonus?
Hayato’s character card bonus is +% minimum critical damage. 2% for B rank, 4% for A rank, 6% for S rank, and 8% for SS rank.

Which Vip hair should i get get for my Hayato?
Spiky Shag from NLC/Orbis, Short Top Tail from Kerning/Showa, Battle Mage from Edelstein.

How are DBs compared to Hayato
From your person preference, how are DBs (Dual Blades) compared to Hayato. Are they more fun or less fun compared to Hayato. If they’re more fun, what do they have that Hayato doesn’t? I’m debating on making a DB without trying Hayato. (Below is a list of opinions from MapleStory players)

  • Much more fun than my DB. One of the big downers for me is that DB’s need (NX) mastery books for almost all advancements. That’s like an instant class killer for me. Then, just the fluid play-style of Hayato convinces me to never try another class.
  • DB has more movement mobility and Hayato has more attacking mobility. DB is stronger than Hayato but Hayao has a pretty unique play system.
  • If you ask me the only thing DB has over Hayato is shadow partner and a solid 1v1 attack skill that doesn’t suck lol. The only real comparison you can make is that flying assaulter chains into tornado spin/bloody storm like Hayato chains his spinning rush skill into his assaulter like skill. Other than that, I’d say they’re two completely different experiences. Try them both and see what you like the most. Also, I think Hayato overall has more mobility than Dual blades. If you chain skills correctly they can clear large distances in no time flat. Plus Vapor blade when combined with Falcon dive gives them far superior vertical mobility.
  • Hayato- Sucks mp dry, I am sorry but he is drinking potions like water, minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless. No FJ, in an age where nearly every job has some sort of FJ, Hayato not having a FJ is eh… That being said a Hayato moblity is still very good and you can certainly get from point A to point B- but you wont be flash jumping.
  • Hayato is pretty fun, but I feel like he’s kind of overdone. Still prefer DBs even though they have less things. DBs have simplicity and movement and Hayato just has a bunch of stuff.

Hayato uses too much MP!
[QUESTION] Hayato uses way too much MP, which one of the downsides of the class. Anyone got thoughts on that? [ANSWER] Get Jr. boogie 1 Familiar, which helps a lot. (15% of mp every so seconds). Also, toggle off Battoujutsu Stance if you are not training.

What Hayato has taught me?
Hayato has taught me to not spam the up key when approaching portals as it triggers Vapor Blade. You are not the only one looking retarded trying to leave a map, just to jump 50 ft in the air.

What are the 4th Job Skills that requires Mastery Book?
Hayato 4th Job skills that requires Mastery Book are Shinsoku, Falcon Dive, Hitokiri Strike, Iron Skin, Jinsoku and Cleaver.

What mystery mastery book should I get from the event?
Upon reaching Level 70 Hayato, the GM NPC will speak to you to reward 1 of the 4 Mastery Book for 4th Job Skill which are Shinsoku 30, Hitokiri Strike 30, Jinsoku 30 and Cleaver 30. I recommend choosing Cleaver as your free mastery book as it significantly boost your damage by 30% and ignores 35% enemy defense!

Is Willow Dodge not working for anyone else?
[QUESTION] It’s maxed and I never get the damage buff. [ANSWER] It most definitely works but the problem is that its proc rate is 60% of 25% (0.6 x 0.25 = 0.15) which means at max level, you have 15% chance of activating and stacking the buff. Once you maxed Jinsoku, it will be a easier to get the buff. It’s a lot more common to see it hit x5. It doesn’t last long and it isn’t a skill you can rely on, but if it were a skill that activated and stacked to 5 all of the time with ease, it’d be over powering in a sense.

Does Shouryuusen combos not work?
[QUESTION] Like I can’t seem to chain dankuusen or whirlwind cut to it. I go into the air, but the attack doesn’t hit the launched monsters. Not really lagging… but I guess I am? Anyone else have a problem? [ANSWER] It’s because they’re dead before they launch into the air. Try it on monsters 20 levels higher than you.

Is Battoujutsu Soul Skill Messed Up?
[QUESTION] Am I the only one who had my Critical Rate at 30% (stance added 25%) before, but after putting 3 points into it, have it down to 28%? [ANSWER] Battoujutsu Soul intentionally reduces Critical Rate until the skill is around level 6.

Adding 1 Skill Point into Bloodletter upon 4th Job Advancement?
[QUESTION] Shouldn’t Blood Letter be a one-pointer at the beginning? Usually upgraded poison is worth one point (Thief experience). [ANSWER] Unlike the Thief DOT skill, it does not stack. The difference between max level Merciless Blade and Level 1 Bloodletter is 2% damage per second and a 1% higher activation rate. It’s not worth it at all.

What would you suggest a Hayato strive for with Inner Ability?
[ANSWER] Critical rate, total damage, or boss damage. Something along those lines.

Hayato Rai Sanrenzan additional attack chance not activating?
[QUESTION] I maxed Rai Sanrenzan, so it has 30% chance of activating bonus hit (green numbers). But I see it maybe once every 10 attacks, is it just me? [ANSWER] 30% chance to activate is only happens on the 2nd and 3rd slash of Rain Sanrenzan. When it successfully occurs, it will pop up a green number instead of red (critical) nor yellow (regular damage).

Is Hitokiri Strike bugged?
[QUESTION] Hitokiri Strike (Issen if you use the JMS names) is meant to add Critical Rate during its buff after you use it. I see the buff icon appear at the top right, but no additional Critical Rate is added to my stats page. Is this Critical Rate Boost hidden? Can someone who has it maxed confirm if you see more Critical damage with it up? Or is it just plain bugged? [ANSWER] With maxed Hitokiri Strike, you will notice the difference in amount of critical hits after using it. The Critical Rate boost is hidden from the Stats Window.

A quick tip to help you guys out with Vapor Blade
I repeatedly have other Hayato asking how I use Vapor blade with out the landing delay (sheathing your sword in time consuming manner). It’s easy. Just use any Sanrezan skill right after Vapor Blade and spam away.

Can you fuse Wakizahis?
You can’t do it in JMS. I’d assume you can’t do it in GMS, either, but I haven’t tried yet.

Hayato quests necessary?
[QUESTION] Is the questline for hayato necessary? Are there any rewards? [ANSWER] Not necessary.

    I just got back into maple today, and I wanted to make a hayato.. unfortunately they are disabled. When will I get the chance to make one?

    Hi Kanna Karma, job advancement is not affected by quest because its independent from it. Just remember that all the quests except for job advancement are link to one another. If you have not completed the earlier quest, the npc will not give you the next quest. See the list of quest below and check your quest menu or click the light-bulb icon on the left-side of the screen to see for any incomplete Hayato quest.

  5. Kanna Karma on said:

    Ayumilove i have a hayato char but i cant finish a quest and its the search for tekeda shingen 1. ive seen in the internet that you finish by speaking to mouri but still he has no quest to tun in to me. Can you tell me what to do i really want to play this char also does this effect me from jod advancing?

  6. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Elms, as Cake mentioned about the Mastery Book, some skills requires at least 1 or 2 mastery books to achieve the maximum level. For example, Hitokiri Strike has a max level of 30. Therefore, when your Hayato reaches 4th Job, he will only be able to max it to 10. Remove level 10 cap by using Hitokiri Strike 20, followed by Hitokiri Strike 30 to remove level 20 cap.

  7. Cake on said:

    Elms, you need a mastery book. That’s what the case for almost every 4th job skill.

  8. elms on said:

    hello, how come in 4th job skills like hitori strike or cleaver, the master level is 10 but when u put ur mouse over it, it says stuff like next level 11?

  9. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi BumbleBee, I guess at least 100% STR and above (approximately 300% STR) from Potential Equips and with the party buffs, godly scrolled equip and etc.

  10. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Sky, Hayato will get Hyper Skills after JMS added them :D

  11. Bumblebee on said:

    Hi Ayumi, do you know how much % you need on str to hit max damage?
    And how much range should you have?

  12. Sky on said:

    Will Hayato ever get hyper-skills? :(

  13. Zach on said:

    Well for me when i was doing it around level 72ish
    I would just go to the end of the lane of monsters Whirlwind cut -> Sweeping Strike -> and Tornado Blade worked well, or Sanranzen. Doing this mostly allowed me to get majority of the monsters in a lane in one go XD. PLus since you can whirlwind cut after doing Vapor Blade it works well.

  14. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks Zach for your input on Hayato’s 3rd Job. Whats the best skill combo for grinding enemies away especially in MP3?

  15. Zach on said:

    I found in 3rd Job that Whirlwind cut into Sweeping strike into Tornado blade effectively clears monsters pretty well.
    I maxed Battojuitsu Soul, Willow Strike? ( the dodge) and the healing ability as well as tornado blade for the cooldown and if anything survives just Sanranzen it real fast. It works well if you do it form the end of a line. If your damage is pretty good then its not needed obviously but it works really effectively. I grinded about 6 levels in 45 minutes at MP3 solo.

    But to each his own. Other then that I usually follow your guides to a T <3.

  16. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Brylon, when you taken a hit from an enemy, only then this Counterattack skill triggers at a certain success rate to deal a regular attack on them back, similarly to Final Attack but the opposite way.

  17. hayato on said:

    how can i get amaterasu muramasa recipe or the weapon itself?

  18. Brylon on said:

    Does the parry chance from the 4th job Counterattack skill negate hits, or do you simply take the hit and return damage?

  19. elms on said:

    oh nvm. i saw that someone already asked. but what does it mean that they reset ur sp? do they give u back all of ur sp points and u just redistribute them?

  20. elms on said:

    hello! just wondering, for my 2nd and 3rd skills, i couldn’t max them all..is there a way to max them? im already on the 4th job and i dunno how to max em anymore…

  21. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi gorehound, try to unequip both Katana and Wakizashi (Katana Sheath) before mining.

  22. gorehound on said:

    trying to figure this out but can Hayato mine for minerals? I keep on trying to equip the pickaxe and it says harvesting tools cannot be equipped however the weaponized version of the pickaxe can be equipped without an issue. Help?

  23. coldmiller21 on said:

    Hmm so WHirlwind cut doesn’t seem to crit after shoryuusen. I can’t seem to figure out why, is it just the crit damage that goes up then?

  24. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Joseph Saxon, everyone might have different opinion on how to build their Hayatos and the guide above is just a reference and not a hard and fast rule :) If you are leeching using your main character or from other players, then it probably can help a tiny bit.

  25. Joseph Saxon on said:

    This is kinda silly, but I’ve seen people put some points into Bloodletter very early because you can be on a rope just right and hit monsters above, so people put points in it to deal extra DOT

  26. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Brylon, Hayato weapons and Kanna weapons are both 2-handed.

  27. Brylon on said:

    @ayumilove ???? . . . and for Hayato?

  28. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Brylon, Use a 2-handed magic attack scroll. Kanna does not use weapon attack to deal damage.

  29. Brylon on said:

    I just got the Silent Crusade scroll, and it gave me a scroll for two-handed weapon? Is it safe to assume this means Katana are 2h?

  30. Brylon on said:

    What type of scrolls do i use on Katana? are they a One-handed or Two-handed weapon? I know that you can’t use 1h-sword or 2h-sword scrolls on them, but what about the 1h-weapon and 2h-weapon scrolls?

  31. FxAwake on said:

    @fxawake its the chance from sanzenran.

  32. FxAwake on said:

    Hey ayumilove, what does those green numbers mean? It sometimes appears when I was attacking aliens

  33. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Jenny, don’t worry. You can reset your SP (Skill Point) by purchasing the SP Reset Card from Cash Shop. If you do not want to spend you real money or parents money, then hop over to maplestory.nexon.net and do some of their survey. Completing each survey gives you NX Points for free. However, these ads are sometimes available for certain people, but you can try it out. If that fails, then you would want to purchase NX for Meso. This means you trade with someone where the seller gives you an SP Reset Card/Scroll and you give meso in exchange. You will need to be certain that guy is trustworthy to do the transaction.

  34. Jenny tails on said:

    I accidentally didnt max out sanrenzan in the 2nd job now i cant get the 3rd and 4th job version. Am i fck?

  35. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks FxAwake, I have updated Jinsoku (Hayato’s 4th Job Skill) description.

  36. FxAwake on said:

    hey ayumilove,

    Jinsoku has a wrong description: Hayato’s technique. after successfully avoiding an attack, grants a chance to reduce incoming damage for a time.

    lv1: Trigger chance 6.0% after avoiding an attack, Damage reduction: 3%, Duration: 8sec. Permanently increases Avoidability by 11%
    lv30: ??

  37. DragoonKnightL on said:

    Does Falcon Dive work I mean the debuff so do stunt work or/and extra damage to target work.

  38. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Speed, they do not stack with one another but they act similarly to Maple Warrior with a different name, you know like Kaiser and Angelic Buster with Nova Warrior instead of Maple Warrior?

  39. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi WhyIsItYou, grab the Cleaver 30 Mastery Book at Level 70. I have mentioned it in the guide above under the “Frequently Asked Question” section :D

  40. WhyIsItYou on said:

    What mastery book do you recommend to get at lvl 70?

  41. Speed on said:

    Do skills like Akatsuki Hero stack with each other? Like maple warrior and nova warrior

  42. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Ricky, you could try Monster Park. I have my Level 143 Demon Slayer partied with a Level 150 Phantom (with Holy Symbol, Advanced Blessing, Rage) and cleared the park some rounds and reached Level 150 in a day using 8x EXP Rate gear :) For those Demon Slayer out there, use Demon’s Cry first on the enemy to gain additional bonus EXP before performing the finishing kill hehehe

  43. ricky on said:

    My kaiser is lv 142 and i dont know where to train. Is there any other effective training spot other than lhc Please answer

  44. Andrea C. Velásquez (@AndreaJClunesV) on said:

    Thank you very much for this and all of your other guides! :D I’m a big fan of your site.

    I was wondering… Do you happen to know who are the Japanese voice actors who play the voices of Hayato, the Princess, Nobunaga and the others?

  45. Dsien on said:

    How do I get the 4th job medal for Hayato? and the lv100 equip box?, My Kanna got them without doing those quests.

  46. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi greenarrowspark2, get Jr Boogie 1 Familiar so it can help alleviate the high mp usage by Hayato’s skills. For the Mastery Book Event, grab Cleaver 30 to boost your damage and ignores a portion of enemy defense!

  47. greenarrowspark2 on said:

    Hey Ayumi, since there are some skills that normally would require mastery books that don’t, could you tell me which one I should get from the event. It would help. And another question: Is Hayato’s MP supposed to drain as quickly as it does? I’m ging broke trying to get good MP pots.

  48. Victor on said:

    So I have made the 4th job and I gotta say this class is pretty fun :) Hopefully it stays fun when I’m at Crocks! Thanks for the guide Ayumi; it really helped!

  49. Mapler on said:

    Ayumi, could you update a list of skills that could be made into a combo? :)

  50. Ayumilove on said:

    Thanks Victor for your input! Probably Nexon GMS would add in after they perform another patch.

  51. Brylon on said:

    Dat green damage :3

  52. Victor on said:

    Sadly the link skill doesn’t have a lvl 2 :/

  53. Ayumilove on said:

    Alright, will be updating Hayato Skill Combo Names :)

  54. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Brylon, it’s best to go with Rai Sanrenzan instead of Shinsoku even though its 1v1 (1 to 1 combat) because the total damage of Rai Sarenzan triple slashes out-damages Shinsoku and on top of that, it has a passive skill similar to Final Attack built within Rai Sanrenzan that has a chance to deal extra damage.

  55. Brylon on said:

    Hi Ayumi, this guide is great! I wanted to ask for more detail about Shinsoku vs Rai Sanrenzan. Against a single target, which has higher DPS? It seems like Shinsoku would only have the purpose of out damaging your other attacks against a single target, like a boss encounter. Have you done/seen/read about any analysis on their actual DPS against bosses when maxed? Thanks!

  56. Date me please? on said:

    Hi ayumilove could you change the names from the combo to the english names? Its hard to keep looking which is what skills ;) keep the good work up ^^

  57. Victor on said:

    I have just started playing Hayato and so far it seems fun! Lets see how this works out….

  58. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi maaksas, the training spots are up-to-date with Post Tempest. Let me know if you spot an error in it :)

  59. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Pikachu, Cleaver is a must have early for bossing or grinding at Lion Heart Castle (LHC). Sarenzan outdamage Shinsoku, therefore, you can see it as a filler skill. That’s the reason Shinsoku is maxed last.

  60. maaksas on said:

    Hello, I wanted to thank you for your guides, but i have one question is the training spots guide updated for post tempest?

  61. Pikachu on said:

    If I wanted to lhc/bossing should I go for cleaver > shinsoku instead of maxing shinsoku last?

  62. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Michael, you’re welcome. I’ll be adding a list of Hayato Katana (primary weapon) into this guide :)

  63. Michael on said:

    Hey Ayumi,

    I wanted to thank you for being so up-to-date with your guides. You’ve never failed to update them as soon as possible.

    hm…. ok blackrainbowsparkles ( what a mouthfull XD)

    what 4th job Mastery Book should we get 1st for free since ( of the events lol) or you have no idea miss Ayumilove?

  70. Mapler on said:

    Just to know, do you know orangemushroom blog or subcribed, intact, contact (i dont know the word for it) ?

  71. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi FxAwake, that’s a rough example. I’ve seen a KMS Player training on skelegons instead at LHC probably due to being packed there at peak hours.

  72. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Samuraimich, ally refers to your party member or MapleStory familiar who is doing damage on the affected monster you attacked with the Yousousen skill.

    [REQUIRE] Max Senpuuzan.
    Attack 8 enemies 6 times by jumping into mid-air and lunging towards enemies to unleash powerful slashes. Has a chance to temporarily stun enemies. Enemies who are stun takes additional damage from you and your ally.

    LV20: 45 MP, 190% Damage, 100% Stun for 10 sec. +20% Ally Damage. +100% Damage. whoa whoa whoa wait a min ally!? what ally?

  74. FxAwake on said:

    Another note: ive read your guide to best training places and it contains ~7/10 to go to lhc, which i prefer not to. I like a more open map in which i can use skills to quickly kill mobs in a rather short amount of time (like the himes map) greetings fxawake

  75. FxAwake on said:

    Het ayumilove, could you tell me where to train after 110 instead of lhc till 165 to sh? You mentioned something with skeles giving more exp/min? Thanks :) -fxawake

  76. ShadowMages on said:

    Hayato looks like a DB ripoff and killer…
    Although you gotta admit, that’s some pretty good stuff there.

    @Javkson, only Evan and DB have the pre-4th job Mastery Books because of their many small “job advancements”.

  77. moonrobin on said:

    I swear, the music in that video is from Sword Art Online’s soundtrack.

    nvm i figure it out
    it’s a cash shop thing isn’t it?

  79. kh fan on said:

    Hey what with the orb above hayato’s head? and does it affect anything?

  80. kh fan on said:

    yeah same here

  81. Javkson on said:

    Hey does this class require mastery books to unlock a certain skill like in dual blade u need slash storm 20 to get bloodystorm thts wht im worried about..

  82. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi MMZ90, I have fixed the link, you should be able to view the Hayato Voice Meaning on Skills.

  83. kh fan on said:

    hey all of you which class do you prefer between hayato and kanna

  84. MMZ90 (@MMZ90) on said:

    Hey, the MapleStory Hayato Voice Meaning on Skills link doesn’t seem to be working. o-o;

  85. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi FxAwake, its best to train on monsters that give more exp per minute. If you can kill 2 LHC monster vs 50 skeles, and skeles gain 200% more exp, you should train on those mob instead :)

  86. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Samuraimich, its better compared to Explorer warrior (no need to walk slowly when you can leap towards your enemy), a little less powerful than Kaiser in terms of bossing and mobs while stationary, unless you hate being in 1 spot then Hayato is for you! It’s similar to Dual Blade where you move all around the place with some skills restricted with cooldown timer.

  87. FxAwake on said:

    Is it better to train at mobs with hayato lv110+ or should he just lhc ( since his bossing skill is weaker compared to kaisers bossing)

  88. Micsaur on said:

    @Dawn: Can u send link of the thread for the female and male faces of hayato?

  95. Hosakata on said:

    This is a pretty good guide and will be very useful when Hayato comes out in GMS after Kanna.

  96. Kaika on said:

    I’d guess hayato’s will be out on march 13th mainly because the hayato support event starts on march 13th.

  97. Juan Alonso on said:

    With that video i can see why you said his mobility Was EXTREMELY HIGH O.o

    Greetings from Peru!! :D

  98. Michael D on said:

    Hey Ayumi, I know that as of now it’s all technically speculation until Nexon says otherwise. But there is overwhelming evidence that Hayato will come to GMS on March 13th, 2013. In the event tab, there is an event for March 13th, 2013, called “Hayato Support” as well as the hot time event 3 days later.

    Also – Love your guides. They’ve helped me tons throughout my Maple career. ^_^

  99. Dawn on said:

    Hi Ayumi. I love your guides. I saw on southperry that there are female hayato faces so I am assuming that Hayato will not be gender locked.

  100. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Tyler N, Katanas are counted as 2-handed weapons. If you have noticed in the Hayato video I made, when he is in Battojutsu Mode, he retracts his sword into his sheath. That sheath is Hayato’s secondary equipment. Strangely enough on how MapleStory design the game, the sheath and the sword does not come in a set. There are currently 4 sheaths which are available at Level 10, 30, 70 and 120. If JMS implements Tempest for their Hayato equip, I believe it would be 10, 30, 60 and 100 respectively. Oh yeah, Hayato only uses Katana and Sheath similarly to Luminous using a special Rod with his magic ball and not Wand/Staff + Shield like common Magicians.

  101. Tyler N on said:

    Are the Katanas counted as 2H weapons or 1H weapons.

  102. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi Nhat Ngo, there are some players predicting that Hayato would be release on March 13 2013 base from the evidence of the Hot Time, but still no official confirmation on that matter from GMS Website.

  103. Nhat Ngo on said:

    haha it will come in gms hayatos the best job EVER!that Issen move is my fav!

  104. Ayumilove on said:

    Hi JacJones, March 13 2013 is kinda soon for Hayato to appear as this might compete with Kanna. A business strategy that GMS Nexon might apply would be waiting for a few months (2-5 months) before releasing the new job Hayato so it can have sufficient time to fix bugs found in Kanna Patch and have another opportunity to gather many players playing on their server again once the Kanna hype has died down. Unless GMS wants to release Xenon sooner (within 6 months of KMS release), they would come out with Hayato Patch sooner. That’s my guess :D

  105. JacJones on said:

    Hayato is guaranteed to be coming to gms on either 11/3/13 or 13/3/13

  106. Jajajajaja on said:
