- Angelic Buster implements a Dress Up Skill System where you can transform into a lovely pink-hair celebrity idol or transform back normally to view your equipment (helm, armor, shoe, glove, etc). This transformation is similar to Cygnus Knight Wind Archer 3rd Job Skill (Eagle Eye) or Kaiser’s Transfiguration into Dragon Saber without the need of charging Morph Gauge. Kaiser is one of Angelic Buster biggest fan – This can be seen where she dances and sings on the stage while Kaiser enjoys her performance.
- Angelic Buster uses Soul Battery skills are powerful attacks that must be recharged after use, and the only way to recharge them is by attacking enemies! Different attacks will recharge the skills at different rates, and the Affinity Heart skills can help them recharge faster. You’ll know a skill needs to be recharged when its icon turns gray. The Soul Battery UI lists all available Soul Battery skills and their availability.

Angelic Buster 2nd Job Skill Build: Everything maxed except Lovely Sting.
1. Pink Pummel, Lovely Sting (1)
2. Soul Shooter Mastery (MAX)
3. Beautiful Soul (MAX)
4. Affinity Heart II (MAX)
5. Pink Pummel (MAX)
6. Lovely Sting (19/20)
7. Power Transfer (MAX)
Explanation:
Add 1 SP (Skill Point) into Pink Pummel. This skill will be beneficial to cluster monsters into a corner and finish them with your charge skill. Start by maxing your Soul Shooter Mastery (damage stabilizer) followed by Beautiful Soul (for additional boost to min max damage) and Affinity Heart II (speed up recharge rate). Next, max Pink Pummel as it is much faster to travel and attack at the same time instead of using regular attack. The reason why Pink Pummel is maxed instead of Lovely Sting is because Pink Pummel does not require any recharge to activate and the damage between both skills is roughly the same at max level. Furthermore, Pink Pummel does cover some area by charging forward into enemies and you will be able to discover more monsters along the way. If you are able KO (knockout) monsters in 1 hit, Pink Pummel is the way to go as it will be a great combo with 3rd Job Skills. If you like Lovely Sting, you can max that instead and the remaining SP is dumped into Pink Pummel. Finally, max Power Transfer last as it won’t be much help until you reach higher level where monsters deal high physical or magical damage. If you are training on monsters several levels higher than you for greater EXP, you might want to consider maxing Power Transfer before Pink Pummel to reduce the damage that enemies can inflict on you.
Angelic Buster 3rd Job Skills
Soul Seeker (Active)
Summons the essence of Eskalade’s power and sends it flying at enemies. Deals damage continuously until the max is reached or until it disappears. Soul Seeker ignores attack reflection. Level 10 required to learn Soul Shooter Expert.

Level 20: Essence Summoned: 2, Max Enemies Randomly Attacked: 2. Damage from each Essence: 320%, Number of Attacks: 1. Essence Recreation Chance: 85%, Max Essence Recreated: 7. Soul Battery skill: Recharge Chance: 30%
Soul Seeker isn’t that useful when it comes to training, but its used as an aid to deal extra damage to powerful monsters especially bosses. Therefore, this can be maxed last. Soul Seeker ignores attack reflect, Jump shot is now allowed.
Shining Star Burst (Active)
Summons group of star blades enchanted with Eskalade’s power.
Level 1: Mobs Hit: 6, Damage: 590%, Number of Attacks: 1. Damage dealt against enemies launched by Heavenly Crash doubled. Soul Battery skill. Recharge Chance: 40%
Level 20: Mobs Hit: 8, Damage: 780%, Number of Attacks: 1. Damage dealt against enemies launched by Heavenly Crash doubled. Soul Battery skill. Recharge Chance: 40%
Shining Star Burst is seldom used due to the success rate to recharge. It’s easier to just spam Heavenly Crash against enemies on double platform. This skill only affects the platform you are currently standing on only!
Heavenly Crash (Active)
Slams the ground to create a shockwave that attacks enemies in range and launches them. Can be resisted by some monsters.
Level 1: Mobs Hit: 6, Damage: 608%, Number of Attacks: 1. Attacked mobs lifted upwards. Recharge Chance: 20%
Level 20: Mobs Hit: 8, Damage: 760%, Number of Attacks: 1. Attacked mobs lifted upwards. Recharge Chance: 20%
Max Heavenly Crash early during 3rd Job to unlock more targets to be affected by this skill. Also, find for training grounds that has double platforms and hammer enemies from the bottom platform so you can hit enemies top and bottom at the same time!
Iron Blossom (Supportive)

Level 1: Duration: 28 sec, Knockback Resistance: 21%. Effect doubled when Power Transfer Shield is up.
Level 20: Duration: 180 sec, Knockback Resistance: 40%. Effect doubled when Power Transfer Shield is up.
Iron Blossom is an extremely useful skill that helps you to stay in a position without getting knockback by enemies. It also helps to prevent any disruption from enemies when you are casting your skills. Max this skill as early as possible once you have maxed the essential damage boosting skills.
Dragon Whistle (Passive)
Endure Eskalade’s advances to increase Weapon Attack.
Level 1: Attack +2
Level 20: Attack +40
Max Dragon Whistle first because this skill significantly boost damage for all attacking skills
Love Me Heart (Passive)
Become more resistant to external damage with inner peace.
Level 1: Max HP: +100, DEF: +100
Level 10: Max HP: +1000, DEF: +1000
Max Love Me Heart approximately mid 3rd Job to improve your defenses against enemies attack and enemies bump damage! This helps in reducing the HP Potion consumption, great for unfunded Angelic Buster.
Affinity Heart III (Passive)
Get closer with Eskalade to increase DEX and acquire vision.
Level 1: +62% Recharge chance when Recharge fails twice in a row. Dex: +2, Damage: +1%
Level 20: +100% Recharge chance when Recharge fails twice in a row. Dex: +40, Damage: +20%
Affinity Heart III is less important in 3rd job training as you will be mostly spamming Heavenly Crash, a skill that isn’t a Soul Battery Skill. Once you maxed Heavenly Crash to unlock additional targets, you can max this to further boost your damage. It’s similar to Physical Training with bonus damage.
Angelic Buster 3rd Job Skill Build: Everything maxed except Shining Star Burst.
1. Heavenly Crash (1)
2. Dragon Whistle (MAX)
3. Heavenly Crash (MAX)
4. Affinity Heart III (MAX)
5. Iron Blossom (MAX)
6. Love Me Heart (MAX)
7. Soul Seeker (MAX)
8. Shining Star Burst (14/20)
Explanation:
Soul Seeker is maxed instead of Shining Star Burst because Celestial Roar (4th Job Skill) can easily replace both Heavenly Crash and Shining Star Burst for its stun, high damage and wide-long range attack! Soul Seeker will be beneficial during 4th Job Training especially Boss Raids/Solo as it acts as a supportive damage while you attack with either Trinity/Celestial Roar (4th Job Skills).

Explanation:
Check this Hyper Stats Guide for more details! Angelic Buster has received a new patch update which buffs Affinity Heart 1 and Affinity Heart 3. It’s pointless to get any additional recharge from Hyper Skills such as +10% recharge rate for Soul Seeker or the hyper for +20% recharge for Trinity. Even without the hyper skill that recharges, you more or less get 100% recharge on everything now. With Affinity 3, you auto recharge when failing 2 recharges. With Affinity 4, you get to re-roll when you fail a recharge. So if you have all the Affinity skills maxed, you will more or less never fail a recharge. So, the possible scenarios: (Fail, re-roll, Fail, automatic Recharge) or (Fail, re-roll, Pass) or (Pass. no re-roll).

Angelic Buster Storyline
Born without a tail or magic, a young Nova named Tear endured disappointment from Nova elders and flat-out torment from her peers. Her only friends were two kind boys, Kyle and Velderoth, who watched over her from the get-go. Together, they formed the Heliseum Force, dreaming of one day recapturing the homeland that was stolen from them. But they were too young to stand up to the attacks on Pantheon. When the Heliseum Force is overwhelmed at Pantheon, Tear calls on the power of an ancient relic to save her friends. Her plan works, but she gets much more than she bargained for. Now, the voice of the ancient Nova dragon warrior, Eskalade, rings out in her head. It tells Tear of her new destiny… to become the Angelic Buster!

hi for hyper stat, what do i add for angelic buster
4th job Trinity passive +20% damage become 15% Final Damage
4th job Finale Ribbon debuff damage 40% self, 20% party become Final Damage 25% self, party 20%
Pro: can easily face off against mobs 20 levels above your own
@HunnyJacq: Max each 4th job skills by purchasing mastery books Level 20 and Level 30 from the NPC at Leafre.
Does anyone know if we are supposed to max the fourth job skills with or without the mastery books first? @_@
@DRESSmeUP: All jobs are still playable including Angelic Buster based on user’s preference who aren’t into DPS but for the fun of it. 🙂
Is this class even playable now? DPS sucks
@Painbowslash Perhaps you accidentally allocated points to anything other than affinity heart 2 and affinity heart 3. Angelic buster does not get enough points to max out all the skills in 2nd job and 3rd job. Perhaps try getting SP resets.
Hi my affinity heart 2 is stuck at mastery 19 and affinity heart 3 is stuck at mastery 14 and i cant seem to put any points into it to get it to the final level after getting 4th job.
Also worth noting that many funded class cannot one hit grinding at Cloack tower with drop gear (for farming symbols simultaneously), only funded AB can easily:)
One of the most prominent pro is missing: mobility 🙂
AB is likely the most mobile class (overall, I made a very detailed chart comparing all classes before)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AG2pZsMhMWUHcZP7zChZ0LGrBfI4WnFJyw1Yq_93x7w
Means that she excels in mobbing (other than high %dmg, can use different combination of long double jump + grapple/ungrapple and attack anytime, extremely flexible), and fast general quests/moving, both horizontally and vertically
@Xadasf: Thanks for your input! I have added the cons for Kaiser and Angelic Buster.
Cons for Angelic buster or Kaiser (nova)
Prequest for Normal or Hard Magnus is special long
@Iria: Thanks for the notice! I’ll update Angelic Buster 3rd Job skills as soon as possible 🙂
@Ray: Angelic Buster Hyper Skills have been updated!
Please update ANGELIC BUSTER HYPER SKILLS, thx!!
@Iria No wonder I can’t use that skill. I thought the game broke or something. Now I can rest easy
😀
A few 3rd job skills look off compared to the current version of the game. ex. Dragon Whistle is now a flat stat increase instead of a buff
@NoNameNoSkill: Thanks for your feedback! I’ll update this Angelic Buster skills based on GMS updates.
*need to update skills since reboot patch
Erm, it seems that power transfer has an additional function now? And melody cross doesn’t increase hp anymore?
Erm, it seems that power transfer has another function now? And melody cross doesn’t increase hp anymore?
Um, excuse me, Ayumi. Why do you not advocate putting a point into Hyper Skill Finale Ribbon – Overwhelm? Would it not help for damage purposes? It increases your max damage cap! Surely it would be good, wouldn’t it?
@Shaun: Thanks for your feedback! I have updated Melody Cross skill details.
Hi Ayumi, in the first job skills section, Melody Cross no longer increases Accuracy, but instead provides +1 attack speed level and max health.
How does soul seeker work? Because I used to think like, when you got the hyper skill that makes it function on it’s own, well it would go out on it’s own lol but now it isn’t working. Like, I have to click on the skill for it work…
Hi Ayumi~! I love your guide~~! I just wanna know is there any link skills from other jobs that will be beneficial for Angelic Buster? I wanna create a new job and wanna have some opinions. Thanks~!
Hey Ayumi. I’m playing on GMS and I have a question about how Affinity 3 works. Does this mean that if I spam Trinity, and it fails twice, it will recharge if I press it again? Because right now that doesn’t seem to be happening.
Hey Ayumi. I’m playing on GMS and I have a question about how Affinity 3 works. Does this mean if I spam Trinity and it fails twice, it will recharge if I press is again? Or it auto recharges Trinity? Because right now neither seems to be happening.
oops, and sorry for posting twice, the first one didn’t show up before =O
@Tylx: Thanks for your feedback. I have updated Angelic Buster 2nd Job Skill Build Guide and added additional note in the explanation!
In the second job part, the green text says to max Power transfer last. Yet in the list it is nr 5, above Pink pummel and Lovely sting. I think the list needs to be changed?
@A aka fardeline: I have updated the “Terms and Conditions” effects. Sorry for the late reply!
@brownie: Angelic Buster “Terms and Conditions” 4 attacks came from “kMSt ver. 1.2.442” and it was officially buffed/replaced with 10 second of damage boost (4 attacks → 10 sec damage boost) in KMS. Hence, GMS Angelic Buster patches does not have that nerf in it. I have corrected the Link Skill description! Sorry if it has caused any confusion/frustration! 🙁
@everyone: Angelic Buster skills have been updated to GMS v.163
Kindly inform if I missed out any skills. Thanks!
Hi ayumi, in which patch does “terms and conditions get nerfed to 4 attacks instead of 10s of damage boost? Thx
I am using this charater and now i 50lv，all skill i up max in 1 and 2job，izzit wrong move？or play a new acc follow ur skill build？
@Filian: Thanks for your feedback! I’ll be updating Angelic Buster Hyper Skill Build Guide. The Soul Resonance – Reinforce is an old skill which was removed after the patch.
Hi there, your Hyper skill build states soul resonance- reinforce (MAX), but the hyper skills are only soul seeker, trinity and finale ribbon, as stated above! So either one must be wrong coz if not there’ll be an extra hyper skill ._.
Hi, firstly I would like to thank you for updating this awesome guide! I have a question non related to this guide actually. Im not sure if it’s just me or what but my AB seem to have extremely low defend. When I go to KD4 three hit from mob and I am dead Do you have the same problem too?
“Terms and Conditions”‘s effect is outdated.
This might point out to this whole guide being a little outdated.
Could you kindly fix it?
@Ayumilove: ur skill build is a little bit outdated, I think I should update?
Hyper skill build is a little outdated? Would you still max out the soul seeker skills and do some random trinity buff, or would you try to maximize trinity’s damage?
@bobomehmeh: Need to wait for MapleSEA to update to the latest Angelic Buster patch 😀 Currently KMS and GMS has this new skill.
In MAPLE SEA server , the ABs do not have a soul seeker expert skill… 🙁
Hey, Ayumi.
I have raised my characters with your guide and it was really helpful 😀
I’d like to point out a couple of AB’s hyper skill that changed from last update
The requirement of lvl of Trinity-extra strike went down from 195 to 155 without dmg reduction.
The requirement of lvl of Trinity-extra dmg went upn from 155 to 195 without dmg reduction.
hi!! I’ve found this guide extremely helpful. So thank you! I do have one problem though, I’m playing in a new world: Jervyanis and there’s literally no shops in the FM, so I have no idea how to find all the Mastery books/skill books. Do you have a list of which monsters drop which skill book? Where I should hunt for them? Would really appreciate the help thanks!!
Hi Ayumi, May I know the 15% odd dmg n def ignore from trinity is for the skill only? Or we have the effect even we using others skill….
N soli for my language
I have to ask about the Hyper skill recommendations, more specifically the Passive Skill Hyper skills, because if all the Affinity Heart passives all at max level makes it so that pretty much every Soul Battery skill used will result in a recharge, ergo making the whole point of the soul battery system redundant, then why would you want to make those the Hyper Skills used?
Based on that, wouldn’t the below Hyper Skill guide for Passive-skill hypers be recommended?
~Soul Seeker – Make Up (increased chance to spawn another Seeker after one attacks, should be useful when Soul Seeker Expert is added)
~Finale Ribbon – Cooldown Cutter (20% of 90 is 18, which means the cooldown becomes 72 seconds. Any decrease helps I guess, especially if you have outside cooldown cutters.)
~Finale Ribbon – Reinforce (Bossing skill)
~Finale Ribbon – Extra Strike (Bossing skill)
And then a toss up of one of the following, depending on which has more use in the users eyes:
~Soul Seeker – Reinforce (Due to SS’s damage being slightly lower when activated by SSE, this might be needed in order to deal higher damage)
~Finale Ribbon – Overwhelm (Since Angelic Buster’s damage cap still seems easily hit, some people might prioritize this hyper over SS-R. I don’t know though, I’m not most people.)
@EverettP: I get the mastery book based on the order of the 4th job skill build guide which are Affinity Heart IV → Soul Shooter Expert → Celestial Roar → Star Gazer → …
any suggestion for mastery book to get?
like which to get 30 and max it and so on
@Ishdoan: One skill I can think of is Pretty Exaltation for Angelic Buster.
Ayumil what buff has a long cd and a short duration?
@AcidLinkz: Thanks for your feedback. I have updated Angelic Buster skill details to GMS v.150 – Rising Heroes (2014-06-17). Regarding the 3 to 2 consecutive fails, its 2 (from Level 1 to Max level)
@Cancer: I’ll update Angelic Buster Hyper Skill 🙂
also, Affinity Heart I at Master Level has its recharge rate increased to +30%, and Affinity Heart III at master level has the number of failed consecutive recharges to activate decreased from 3 to 2, though i have no idea atm if it was changed from 3 to 2 from skill level 1, or it goes from 3 to 2 somewhere while u level up the skill
Trinity – Extra Strike: Damage becomes 950%, Number of Attacks +1.
Trinity – Recharge Up: Recharge chance +20%.
Trinity – Reinforce: Damage +20%.
these have completely replaced the soul resonance hyper skills as of June 25 in GMS, idk if u get ur sp back for just the HSP put into the soul resonance hyper skills, or if it returns all ur hyper SP to let u think of a new combo for which ones u want
Hi, they seem to changed the skill enhacement hyperskill to trinity. I am unclear as to whether they replaced something or added it. If they only added it in, should skill points for hyper skills still be added as shown?
Is it good to not fund and Angelic Burster/ Buster? I don’t know much about funding now and my AB is my main now. Do you also have any tips for leveling after level 100?
@Shadowcape: Thanks for the note! I have corrected the Skill Icon for Soul Seeker – Reinforce.
The Skill Icon for Soul Seeker- Reinforce is Soul Resonance’s
@Tekky: Thanks for the note! I’ll get it updated now 😀 Too many guides for me to maintain lol~
Hello, can i ask what’s the music used for the video you made?
lol just got my hypers, the debuff damage for finala ribbon is +3000000 and damage cap for soul resonance is at 100 mil.. sorry just got some new infos from my buddies
Haha its ok, happy i could help, meh sometimes it gets busy and we tend to miss some patches
@Tekky: Oh ok, I realize that this new update for Angelic Buster is from GMS v.142 Dawnveil Demons of Tynerum which I missed for this job. I’ll update it now 🙂
and also Trinity at max level is at 1600% dmg just managed to max it just now
the thing i am still unsure of is the damage cap. I’ll try ask some of the people i know using AB as main. cuz it will be weird if the dmg cap stay at the low amount you written up there. ><
Angelic Buster 2nd Job
Lovely Sting: At Master Level: Damage has increased to 600%
Angelic Buster 3rd Job
Heavenly Crash: At Master Level: Damage has increased to 760%
Soul Seeker: At Master Level: Essence respawn chance has increased to 85%, Ignores attack reflect, Jump shot is now allowed
Angelic Buster 4th Job
Celestial Roar: At Master Level: Stun Duration has increased to 8 sec, Damage has increased to 1160%
Trinity: At Master Level: Decreased the DEF ignore buff to 3 stacks, Passive effect added +15% passive damage, and +15% DEF ignore
there u go not quite a lot of change but pretty decent buff up since most classes are like so strong.
Could you list down the skills that have been changed so I’ll update the one here?
Ayumi you need to update the skill information for GMS. We had some changes and skills % damage and some tweaks. Love your guides btw :3
Hi I’ve maxed affinity IV but i’m still failing my skills quite often. Is there a change in the skills?
@Sandara: I think Angelic Buster is a season-job. It is made available for a specific duration which will be announced on MapleSEA.com official website.
May I know how can I create Angelic Buster in Maplesea season 2 ? I can’t seem to find it ):
@Ameno Mikune
You can’t make an Angelic Buster right now in MSEA, it was removed in a recent patch.
Trinity is a charge skill and it attacks one enemy not multiply enemies
How can i make a angelic buster?
P.s.: I’m using MapleSea~
hi there, could you add in a part for which skills need skill books to max? thanks!
Anyone getting magical girl vibes from this job? I know I do.
hey, ayumi , can you add which skills is need to put in a quickslot, please?
soul resonance “Enemies who constantly receives damage from this skill can only receive up to Max Damage”means that the max damge the enemies take is 9,999,999(the max dmg),isnt it right?btw,ayumi why my AB dmg range keep going up and down??any ideas?
Hi ayumi,i would like to know how much will ab nerfed if the job has balanced?? I’m playing maplesea currently.
is MSEA angelic buster stronger than the other version?
what’s the RoF of supreme supernova
Hi Ayumi. My question is the same as ABgal. From my understanding, you can freely use soul battery skill for 30 seconds. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Is there any videos showing Angelic Buster soloing Horntail?
Hi ayumilove, can you explain what pretty exaltation (the angelic buster hyper skill) does? Like what its effect is? Thanks a lot!
hi I would like to ask what is ab’s bossing skill after the nerf? is it still soul seeker or trinity?
Hi AyumiLove , its great following your guide . i currently have a lv 120 AB with maxed out soul shooter expert . with 1 on all the attacking skills and lv 10 on affinity heart and celestial roar.my issue is i dunno how and where to hunt for crucial skillbooks like affinity heart iv and the remaining sp i have , should i pump them to fill up to lvl 10 on skills such as trinity or wait till i get my skillbooks ?
any idea where I can hunt for affinity heart skillbook?
thanks. I would also like to know what does this statement mean: “Enemies who constantly receives damage from this skill can only receive up to Max Damage.”
does it mean they can receive more than max damage on the first hit? or they would only receive max damage? why aren’t they just constantly receiving 660%?
sorry I still have a lot to learn about maple
Hi AngelicLuminous, it should be the 660%. Regarding the Soul Resonance’s Fire Rate, I do not know. From my wild guess, its roughly 8 times per second? I just use it without counting how many times it hits the enemy.
hi ayumilove, what is the rate of fire of soul resonance? also, does +50% damage against bosses mean it does 660% or 915%?
Hi MisakiMuun, read up on this guide http://ayumilove.net/best-maplestory-methods-to-increase-damage-guide/
Hello Ayumi! I followed this guide but my problem is dat my damage is weak n low. Can u plz help me? Plz reply. Ty.
Thanks for the reply 🙂 What quest do I have to do to get the Nova Hero’s Will? Thanks again!
Hi ABplayer, Nova Hero’s Will is only available upon completing a quest.
Hi, why does my angelic buster character not have the Nova Hero’s Will even though it has reached 4th job? I am playing on Maplesea. Thanks!
Ayumilove, thanks for your advice! I will follow your advice. Haha! 🙂
Hi Affinity Existance, my advice to you is try different jobs and find out which 1 you like playing the most (not just about damage). Once you really like that job, then spend some time getting it to level to 200. My favorite jobs is Demon Slayer compared to Demon Avenger since it has more moves/skills to play with even though Demon Avenger is easier to play (do not need to worry about health and magic/mana)

By the way, I am a leveled 120 Angelic Buster, who has spent quite a bit of money on my Angelic Buster although I am relatively new to Maplestory. Therefore, I am seriously in a dilemma on what I should do now. :/
Hello, I would like to ask if I should continue to train my Angelic Buster. I heard from my guild mates that Angelic Buster is not as strong as it used to be and many people gave me the advice to switch to Dual Blade or Xenon once the characters can be created in MapleSEA. What should I do? :/
Hi Athenares, you should grab Soul Shooter Expert which significantly boost your minimum damage, closing the gap between min-max damage output.
Hi lol, probably Xenon which is closely followed by Kaiser.
Hi. May I know which mastery book for AB should I choose at level 70?
which is the strongest, ab, luminous, kaiser or xenon?
Hi Jazm, they probably have godly scrolled equipment, deck of cards, empress blessing / cygnus blessing, link skills and/or using attack potions. These are the many factors that increases one’s damage substantially.
I see other ab have high damages to mobs, while im still at an average damage to mobs. Why is this so?
Hi Its Me, I would choose Soul Shooter Expert since it stabilizes your damage (allowing you to deal high damage all the time) and it also boost your weapon attack and critical rate.
Theres something like an event that gives me a quest to choose skillbooks
There is :Celestial Roar,Trinity, Finale Ribbon, Soul Resonance, Star Gazer,Affinity Heart IV and Soul Shooter Expert. what should i choose among them?
How do i get Chao essence stone?? i cant seem to find him!!
Hi finnjake, it is true that Trinity requires to be charged, similarly to Star Bubble (Angelic Burster/Buster 1st Job Skill). As long as your recharge success rate is high (90% and higher), you can spam it all day 🙂 During my 1st Job as an Angelic Buster, I just spam Star Bubble as it can kill monsters faster than regular pew-pew attack.
is trinity a charge skill? coz according to maplesea it must be charged meaning it cannot be spammed.
Hi Tyrus, bossing with Demon Avenger (DA) will be easier to handle since your HP is so much that it would take at least 3-4 big hits from a boss to knock you out unless you have a pet to repot your HP during emergency (like 10% HP left). Angelic Buster allows you to cast some cool hyper skills while performing some other 4th job skills to take down boss quickly. With a pet to replenish your health and mana, it will be easy like Demon Avenger. One thing that bothers me about Angelic Buster is the recharge rate, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. The one thing I dislike about Demon Avenger is their damage goes rock bottom upon reaching 70% or below for your current HP (Health Points).
Hellos. I am doing the lv 35 ‘Put up your dukes’ quest where onw has to find the Temple at orange forest but I can’t seem to find it. Anyone knows? Thanks in advance (^ ^)
If With Bossing ?
AB Or Da Will Be Nicer ?
Thankiew Ayumi 😀
Hi Tyrus, try Demon Avenger first as its easier to play compared to Angelic Burster/Buster. When I played Demon Avenger, there is not a single time I need to use a health/magic potion. If you came from other job/classes that uses lots of potions/elixirs, you won’t find yourself using them at all 😀 Oh yeah, there isn’t a single moment that my character is killed by monsters. The damage reduction by Demon Avenger is simply amazing. It reduces most monster damage to 1 whereas your healing its by %MaxHP.
Ayumi….
I’m Don’t Whether Should Choose Demon Avenger Or Angelic Buster..
Can Give Some Idea ?
You’re welcome Muhammad Zulhusni 🙂
hey ayumi, im currently playing maplesea. im stuck at the part where the angelic buster, kaiser and velderoth, meets the bad guy. its a part of the quest where they are trying to restore the shields (lvl38-40). there will be a picture that shows up after the conversation and after that picture shows up, my entire game closes. is there anyway of solving this? help me please 🙁
the step u post at the morning is worked,thank you very much ayumilove i really appreciate your help.
Hi Muhammad Zulhusni, go to your MapleStory installation folder, and double-click on setup.exe. That program sets your monitor frequency up for MapleStory. Please run this program if your screen turns pitch black, or if you see a warning on your monitor on exceeding the range of frequency of your monitor. Click NO if you are not able to see the game clearly when game starts. Follow the instructions given by the setup.exe
ayumilove i already try the step u post but it still check signal cable when i open maplesea can give me more step for this?
Hi Muhammad Zulhusni, check whether MapleSEA is down for maintenance, then try disabling all anti-virus and firewall before restarting MapleStory to see whether this solution works!
ayumilove pls can u tell me why i get check signal cable problem when i enter maplesea pls reply this as fast as possible
I would go for Affinity IV because having it maxed will give you 100% recharge, based on the information given. 😛 Very helpful in training since Celestial Roar and Trinity will most likely be your main attacking moves, and you’ll most likely be spamming it.
Thanks Ryan for the feedback! If you spot any mistakes in my guide, please let me know and I’ll quickly correct them 🙂
Just wanted to tell u i <3 yr guides cos they're short and easy to read 🙂 Thanks 🙂
hi ayumi, you got a great class guide out here and i always ended up checking up this good little site of yours,
i wanted to ask you what kind of 100% skill book should i take for the 100% skill book giveaway?
the passive, affinity heart and soulshooter expert both are good, couldn’t choose between them frankly
thanks in advance
@terence Little bit of both, but mostly Kms.
MSEA is based to KMS or GMS?
may i know , is it this is the latest revamped skill %?
Hi Anything, all jobs that has Link Skills can upgrade their link skill from Level 1 to Level 2 upon reaching Level 120. If you have reached that level but it did not upgrade, it means that GMS has not implemented it yet.
Does ab have a level 2 link skill?
@AngelicBally-
Everything maxed except Shining Star Burst.
1. Add 1 SP into Heavenly Crash, Shining Star Burst and Soul Seeker.
2. Max Affinity Heart III and Dragon Whistle.
3. Max Heavenly Crash and Cap Shining Star Burst at Level 14.
4. Max Love Me Heart, Iron Blossom and Soul Seeker.
Not sure if you misread, but it says “MAX Heavenly Crash and Cap Shining Star Burst at Level 14.”
If that’s not what you meant, AB’s skill points gained can ONLY be used in their current job advancement (Similar to Evans, Luminous, Kaisers, etc.) since the SP for each job advancement is separate from the other job advancements.
Ex- You have 15 SP while training and you hit 100 and become 4th Job AB. The 15 SP you’ve accumulated doesn’t show up for the 4th job skill list because it’s separate from the previous skill list. Instead, you get 4 (3?) skill points for 4th job, and the other 15 for 3rd.
But i’ve calculated that you just have one skill whcih you can’t max…Why do we just need to put the hammer and the twinkle at 14?
Thanks JamyTea for the comment.
heya ayumi i love using ur guide for the info because its clearer than anything else i used
uhm Ayumi are You Singaporean? or SEA player?
Hrmm… if my calculations are right, which they probably arent, you should have loads of SP for 4th job left, right? :s
so I’m confused, yeah…
Hi Kaze, if the Mastery Book specifically mentions a job that could use that book, it means that job could use it only 😀 You can also verify it using Owl of Minerva (if you are a Cash User)
Hi, Ayumi, i lastday got a masterybook is but at there it only write for Angelic buster job , i wan to ask u that isit is only for Angelic buster job use or Kaiser also can use it? Or Kaiser got his different Nova Warrior to use too? Cos they are same race?
Hi Mac, yeah, I really hate Angelic Buster’s nerf. When I was training my AB, it was frustrating for the Recharge skill not work on the time that I needed it, and had to charge it using my pewpew skill (regular attack). Thanks for stopping by here, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment below 🙂
Oh, GMS has nerfed some of AB’s recharge rates the last time and it’s kinda frustrating now. There has been some buff ups as well, i just hope this is the last adjustment. Nice page Ayumi, this has been my guide since day 1 of training my AB 🙂
Hi LumiLover, I do not know when GMS will unlock Angelic Buster again. But sadly to say, its not as fun as Kaiser and it kinda annoys me when the skill does not charge at the right moment.
When will we be able to make AB again? I’m super excited for the re-release!
Hi ivan111, the video skill preview was made before GMS released Angelic Buster 🙂
there seems to be a mistake on the video. there was no gigantic icicles for angelic buster 3rd job.
Hi Brylon, perhaps next big patch released by GMS or when they introduce a new character like Xenon.
Any clue as to when this class is available to create characters for again?
Ayumi there is no information for gigantic icicles in the 3rd job. Or us it replaced by shining star burst? Thanks
Hi Hidden, I believe that EMS will follow GMS Angelic Buster version instead of JMS assuming that they figured out it would be best to make them “balance” to compensate Angelic Buster’s unique ability to not consume any MP at all. It’s kinda annoying to recharge a skill not knowing whether it will work first time or second time.
AB just came to EMS, and it has the same low dmg as GMS i think. Is this perma, or will the dmg on skills be the same as JMS’s skills, or even better at all? I think the hammer skill does so crappy dmg with only 440% dmg at lvl 30….
Hi Ayumi. Just wanna ask for your opinions that which one of the DEX classes has the highest output and is good at mobbing and bossing at the same time? Im playing AB on KMS with 160% of DEX but im running TARGA/SCARLION pretty slowly :\
Can someone give me some information about what monster can drop Angelic Burster mastery book ….
What difference would it make? GMS nerf is between -33%-50% damage of KMS.
Hi Angel, you can choose Soul Shooter Expert 30 (GM Mastery Book is 100% success rate). This will unlock level 11-30. Also, do a survey in MapleStory Freemarket to see the price of each Mastery Book. Lets say Soul Shooter Expert 20+30 total cost is 10 million meso, whereas Celestial Roar 20+30 total is 50 million meso due to its rareness. From this information, select the more expensive mastery book and purchase Soul Shooter 20+30 with meso. The price for each mastery book differs for each server (Scania / Bera / etc)
This is guide is really good! Ayumilove, i’m lv.70 and I get to selecet a special Mastery book from the maple administrator, but i don’t know which one to select. Would u mind selecting a good one for me?
These are the choices
– Celestial Roar 30, Trinity 30, Finale Ribbon 30, Soul Resonance 30, Star Grazer 30, Soul Shooter Expert 30, Affinity lV 30, Thanks ^-^
Adding a CMS/GMS postnerf damage along with KMS’s damage would be nice.
Ok! Thank you very much! ^_^
By the way, great guide. 🙂
Hi Uhou Chio, you can max either one (Pink Pummel or Lovely Sting). My recommendation is to max Pink Pummel. I have updated Angelic Buster 2nd Job Skill Build Guide with my reasons on why I prefer that instead of Lovely Sting. Its up to your playing preference though. Some players would want to have all their Angelic Buster charge skills maxed. For me, if you can 1 hit KO monsters, Pink Pummel is much better as it kills more mobs in 1 area. Faster and more monster eliminated means quicker progress in leveling up.
For 2nd job, Lovely Sting was said to be maxed but in the description, you said to max Pink Pummel. Which skill should be maxed?
#ayumilove What do you put for the AP? and when do I stop at what level?
Hi Jason Huang, Yes, enjoying my MapleStory (Luminous) character 🙂
This is really good! I play Angelic Burster and following this guide, so much help! Thank you! Are you playing maplestory too?
Hi :D, I doubt its not Miku but resembles like Hatsune Miku with twin side pink pony tails.
is she miku’s sister?
The only thing I’m confused about is .. why Finitura Fettuccia looks so alike to Fatality.. and the same for Falling stars with Icicle crash.. (Or something like that.)
In GMS (USA/Global) its called Angelic Buster.
In KMS (Korea), its called Angelic Burster.
I wonder why GMS loves to change the names.
Guys it’s called Angelic Buster no Burster.
When will we be able to play this angelic burster??
Hey guys, Angelic burster is a class that uses the ”Recharge” system, which is basically her mp bar, which means you have to constantly recharge in order to use your attacks.
Yeah this is for Angelic Burster, for solo dps zakum, the AB had a long hp bar and a exp bar below it, does this mean no more Mana Points? or other sources of energy?
How do we max multiple skills at once? And does AB use MP or what?
angelic is coming next month in 2013, i cant wait. i have my lumi but i want the angelic so much more!
hi,ayumilove,i wanna ask a thing,i saw the video about AB killing zakum,and then i feel something different between tat video and the other job skill one,tat AB didn’t got show it MP,can i ask why??
By the way, when did this, luminous and kaiser come out in Kms?
Hi Alvin, My guess its around 2013.
when will out this job 2013?2014?2015? or……
Hi AceOfBlades247, what are the best Character Cards for Angelic Burster?
I just hope AB is coming to GMS I’ve been making Character Cards for her.
Ok thank you and please let me know as soon as you find out.
@Deity: Truth to be told, I do not know until we see a public announcement from GMS Official Site. This same applies to new jobs released by other MapleStory regions (JMS/KMS/CMS)
Will this, Hayato, or Dragon Warrior come out in the USA soon?
@exia:
There won’t be a male Angelic Burster. But maybe there will be a job with only male (gender-lock). This has been introduced in JMS Hayato where you can only make male Hayato, not female. Female version will be Kanna in JMS (Japan MapleStory)
will there be a job like this but this time is a guy?
Thank you very much! You are doing an excellent job!
When the Angelic Burster will come out I will play with it and comment again about what I think is the best from my playing experience, and correcting if needed. 🙂
@Mano: Thanks for the note! The 3rd Job build above only considered the best skills during that time without 4th Job included. I’ll update the skill build again 🙂
Just so you know, you posted different skill builds and explaintions.
For example on the 3rd job, you said not to max Soul Seeker but the explaintion says not to max Iron lotus.
Also, I wanted to clear that Soul Seeker is a must and you should not max Falling Stars, with much respect to Land Crash and Falling Stars you most likely won’t be using them on the 4th job when you get Primarl Roar and Finitura Fettuccia, at least that’s my opinion.
Updated Angelic Burster with KMS 1.2.168 Patch.
@ConfusedRaik: Not really, its kinda funny and simple for new players.
@Hmm: I have added Angelic Buster 4th Job Skill Descriptions 🙂
@Arsh: Thanks for stopping by!
New to this blog or website looks prty good :]
Wondering but can u get a description for all the 4th job skills?
The third job video is kinda fail.
