Xenon is part of MapleStory Resistance, a Thief job which can utilize both Thief and Pirate equipment except for the weapon! Whip Blade aka Energy Sword are their main weapon and Controller is their secondary weapon. Xenon also equips with a hybrid heart acting as a power source. This reminds me of Iron Man Superhero who is also powered by an artificial electric heart that keeps him alive. Their main AP distribution (Ability Point) is to add into STR (strength), DEX (dexterity) and LUK (Luck) but no INT (Intellect).

8. Pinpoint Salvo Redesign B (MAX)
9. Diagonal Chase (MAX)
10. Gravity Pillar (14/20)
Explanation:
[NOTE-1] The combination of Pillar Scramble and Split does not make a good combination because everything can be killed in mostly 1-2 hit with Pillar Scramble. It’s similar to Angelic Buster’s skill where performing 1-2 Heavenly Crash is sufficient to kill enemies without requiring Shinning Star Burst. Therefore, you wouldn’t benefit much from the extra damage even if the enemies are in mid-air. [NOTE-2] Split is identical to Mercedes Leap Tornado, except that you can’t macro it so doing two in one jump is difficult if you don’t have autofire. Diagonal Chase and Leap only allow you to follow up with one Split, unlike Rolling Moonsault/Legendary Spear. [NOTE-3] Diagonal Chase is inefficient for rushing as it raises you up platforms and most maps have those. Ion Thrusters is still the best way to perform mob control.

Additional Information
Xenon Storyline
Xenon and his friends (Brighton, Belle, Claudine and Elex) were playing a game at Edelstein. On the way home, Xenon was kidnapped by Gelimer. Xenon and Beryl (a female), were made test subjects by Gelimer who had their memories erased. A few years later, the Resistance investigated the Verne Mine, and Xenon was sent by Gelimer to fight them. Upon seeing a trapped Claudine, Xenon had a blurred memory which reminded him of something. To confirm his suspicions, Xenon went to the prison which Claudine was held to ask her about his past. Xenon showed her a dagger, the one which Lutie, an android, gave him. They both realized, they knew each other! Xenon began his escape with Claudine and Lutie. Beryl appeared and fought Xenon on Gelimer’s command. The Resistance brought Xenon and Lutie back to the Secret Plaza. They knew that Gelimer could control and locate Xenon with a device on him, so it was removed and destroyed. Xenon then had his own mission to accomplish, which was to recover his lost memories.
Xenon Notes
- Multi-mode does not use surplus energy. It is a skill that allows you to select 1 out of 3 modes. Multi-mode skill is made available at 2nd job.
Xenon Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- So, I’m getting 3 auto assigns….for Xenon. I want to distribute them normally, and am not sure how the 3 stats build are supposed to work out.. There are three auto assign buttons. The first one auto assigns to Str. Second Auto Assigns to Dex. Third Auto Assigns to Luk. These Auto Assign Buttons will keep applying AP until it reaches the current AP requirement for Multilateral. For Example: At First job the Multilateral requirement is 40 STR, DEX, LUK. If you pick any of the 3 buttons then it will be set to apply AP to whatever button you picked till it reaches 40 AP then you can select one of the others to max to 40 and etc. Once all 3 AP has reached their requirement the 3 butons will be avalible again to reach the next Multi-Lateral Requirement which in this case is 90 for 2nd job Multi-Lateral. By level 200 you should have 330 in each stat and 18 free AP.
- Would 9% LUK get divided to 3% STR, 3% DEX, 3% LUK? No. 9% luk is 9% luk. Only way you can raise all 3 individual stats is through +All Stats on equipment, or All Stat% potential.
- Is Xenon a thief or a pirate? It is both. Xenon is capable of wearing any Thief or Pirate equips.
- Which is stronger? Beam Dance or Mecha Purge – Snipe? Beam Dance is stronger when it comes down to doing damage over time. Mecha Purge Snipe is better than Beam Dance when fighting against bosses such as Vellum and Vonbon who are limited to when you can hit them.

Hey
Is xenon start every job with 5 sp? Or 4 sp like all jobs?
I hear that they changed it specific to Xenon to 5 sp in the start of every job
And how does it work with the multilateral skill? Is it auto max? And can I reset it with sp reset scroll?
Hey, Ayumi, I think the active Hyper Skills had their level’s requirement reduced by 10. At least I unlocked the Amaranth Generator at level 140, and the level requirement for Entangling Lash and Orbital Cataclysm are 160 and 190, respectively.
@Velckright: Probably you could manually assign the AP instead of using the Auto-Assign AP to distribute the AP evenly to make good use of the Xenon passive skills.
Hello. So i just logged in for the first time in a long time and found that my Xenon at lv 101 had all its Ability Points reset and reading your guides have said that i need to spread them evenly (except for INT) but the auto assign is biased to either one or the other and not an even spread. Is there anything i can do or do i have to reassign each ability point so i get maximum potential (about 500 AP).
Thanks 😀
is it fun classes to play?
@Tom: Yep, Omgea Blaster’s an invincibility frame skill. The frame is extended by up to how much you charge the skill (total 10-12 secs invincible, depending on Omega Blaster level).
This, together w/ Orbital Cataclysm, help dodge OHKO skills.
@Tom: I’m not sure as I have not tried yet when triggering the skill and receiving any damage while the skill is on.
Is Omega Blaster an i-frame skill?
@tara: I just logged into my Xenon character in MapleSEA and I did not notice it mention increases damage of all abilities. I think its referrring to the stats instead of damage. In GMS and KMS, it mentions stats instead of skill damage.
In MapleSEA, “Minority Report” skill, increases damage of all abilities instead of “+ all stats”. Pls kindly update? Thanks ^_^
Ephemeral: yep, they can learn both common Pirate and Thief skills. Currently on my Xenon, I have both Loaded Dice AND Venom Burst equipped (MapleSEA player here). Though I’ve yet to confirm if learning and equipping Ultimate Dark Sight gives Xenons Dark Sight, similar to Loaded Dice giving you the Roll of the Dice skill (because I haven’t gotten UDS yet).
Since Xenon is technically considered a Thief and Pirate hybrid, would they be able to get 5th job common skills for both Thief and Pirates? I’ve asked around and so far the only thing I’ve found out is someone told me they can only get thief common skills and from my experience I’ve only gotten thief common skills. However I haven’t opened very many nodes on my Xenon so I can’t say it’s a definite answer. Does anyone know if what I was told is true or can they get common skills for both? (Venom Burst and Ultimate Dark Sight for Thieves AND Loaded Dice and Pirate Flag for Pirates)
I was curious about where to dump my balanced stats after all 3 bases are 330 each. Thus I did a hell lot of googling with STR vs DEX vs LUK or balance into STR, balance into DEX, balance into LUK. No one could really site evidence of how and why a particular primary stats is greater than another.
I am a returning player who had stopped for at least 10 years decided to main a Xenon and the following is what I would like to share:
*Regardless whether you may or may not be funded, whatever guides say and everything that I am about to share is seriously personal preference and discretion.
I am currently still distributing my balance AP evenly throughout after some meticulous calculations:
(Looking only at bases since it affects bases first, I may have the final numbers wrong but importantly is the idea of what I had found and open for discussion)
At Lv250:
Balanced stats distribution 425/stat(pardon me if I’m wrong with this number) with 10% all stats and 3×10% each stat EQ(since I’m not funded and not planning on buying messos):
[(425 x 1.1) x 3]+(425 x 1.1)+(425 x 1.1)+(425 x 1.1) = 467/stat after 10%(round down for worse case)= 2802 total stats
One direction regardless STR/DEX/LUK with 10% all stats and 3×10% each stat EQ
[(615 x 1.1) x 2]+{[(330 x 1.1) x 2] x 2} = 676(PRI stat)+(363 x 2) = 1402 total stats
Let’s say I decide to spend a bomb and ball:
One direction regardless STR/DEX/LUK with 10% all stats and 30% PRI stat
(615 x 1.1)+[(330 x 1.1) x 2]+(615 x 3.3) = 676+(363 x 2)+799 = 2201 total stats
With claims that LUK by some gives more output:
(676 x 1.5)+(363 x 2)+(799 x 1.5) = 1014 + 726 + 1198 = 2938 total stats
Balling with the same EQ except with balanced stats:
[(425 x 1.1) x 3]+(425 x 1.3) = 1401+552 = 1953 total stats (and I realize of course, stupidity)
In conclusion, the numbers speak themselves
P.S. Unless of course you are a real baller, you really have to ball, a lot. (:
I’d give a damn for Xenon’s Overload Mode (now available in MSEA) — but dang, I need to learn the bloody skill first! But lemme get to the description from MSEA, for everybody’s reference.
But wait, let’s point out that while Overload Mode (KMS) / Surplus Overload (MSEA) is active, there are the following effects (Credits to: MSEA website: http://www.maplesea.com/updates/view/v167_patch_notes/ ):
– Skills do not consume Energy.
– The plasma current from overloading attacks nearby enemies. Plasma current does not affect enemies with the Damage Reflection effect (you won’t take damage).
These are the additional effects of Overload Mode / Surplus Overload on the Levels 1 and 25 of the skill:
Level 1 – Plasma currents are randomly created to attack up to 12 enemies for 936% damage 6 times. (Skill cooldown in MSEA: 199 secs.)
Level 25: Plasma currents are randomly created to attack up to 12 enemies for 1800% damage 6 times. (Skill cooldown in MSEA: 175 secs.)
I cant seem to find the answer to this anywhere, what should xenon go for after 330 all stats, pure str/dex/luck or still continue to split stats evenly
@Strezio: Thanks for sharing your pros and cons of Xenon! I have added them into the article above 🙂
@Somebodeh
1. Mecha Purge (snipe) is better at bossing in damage than beam dance due to ignore DEF + works well with high attack speed (Gollux, RA). But Blade dance allows you to move around WHILE doing damage. Which is vital for e.g magnus, to dodge his falling rocks.
2. Mecha Purge (Bombardment) is also good for farming when there are multiple platforms. If you have higher attack speed. E.g green pots or activating swiftness runes. Its better to use Mecha Purge than beam dance.
TIP. You can reach mobs to do damage even if u dont stand on the same level of a certain platform cause it covers a huge area
3. Mecha Purge (Bombard) can cover the whole of Zakum’s arms. Beam dance is ok when vsing HT.
Final note: In my opinion. Beam dance is not bad to use but its really fun. Mecha Purge (Fire) is pretty useless and you rarely use it.

🙂
Pro’s:
– Very fun to play due to being one of the best mobile character in the game
– Can cover an area with Hologram field (useful especially for Gollux’s mobs, and training grounds)
Cons:
Hard to fund because you need aim for all stats instead of just pure LUK/DEX/STR.
Hey just a couple of questions regarding Blade Dancing that is stuck in my mind forever… Done plenty of research to no avail
1. Blade Dancing VS Fuzzy Rob:Shoot
If I have let’s say 200k Range, which skill does more damage for BOSSING (emag, PB, RA etc)? Your site says Blade Dancing but some others say fuzzy rob.
2. Blade Dancing VS Fuzzy Rob:Fire/Bombard
Again 200k Range, which is best to use for FARMING? I know Bombard has more dmg than Fire and shoots higher but Fire is longer ranged. Also see some people use Blade Dancing to farm.
3. Which Combination of skills should I use to take down Zak/HT the fastest? I heard Blade Dancing is best to take out arms but just to confirm! 🙂
Cheers! ~
if I’m not wrong, MSEA Xenon has change the Hyper Sys to GMS during MSEA Accelerated/Supernatural patch (In GMS its call Reboot).
Maybe u can check with those has Xenon level 140 as I haven’t create a Xenon yet
@JL: Thanks for sharing your pro’s on Xenon. It has been added into the Xenon’s Pros and Cons section 🙂
Also a PRO for Xenon, they have a built-in, 10 min cooldown, global teleport. (They can go back to base, and then go to any town from there – similar to Pantheon trick)
@eiran: From Google Search, Xenon Damage Formula is 1.5*(4*(STR+LUK+DEX))*ATT/100
Source: http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=62056
Ayumi can you please tell me the damage formula for Xenon?
It is different from most classes.
Hello Ayumi, there is some false informations in this thread, i’m just here to tell you what is wrong and what have changed in Xenon :
“The character card is Boss!” : False, character card give STR , DEX , LUK
“You can equip 2 Android Hearts at once!” : False, the “second heart” is called Hybrid Heart, it’s your Emblem
Fuzzy Rob Masquerade – Extra Target | Mecha Purge – Spread
Required Level: 189
+1 Masquerade Purge attacked target except for Snipe.
> + 1 Targer only for Bombardment (what says the description in Luna)
Meltdown Explosion | Orbital Cataclysm
Required Level: 200
Attack 15 enemies 6 times with 900% damage with lasers bombarding from the sky. Cooldown 90 seconds.
> Invincible while casting, cooldown in now 50 seconds and it gives a +10% ATT buff for 25 sec
i was wondering after you get 330 in all main stat, should you start investing in str dex or luk
Hi Ayumi,
in your opinion, for bossing, is blade dancing better than fuzzy snipe? thank u
Hi Ayumi,
in your opinion, for bossing, do u think blade dancing is better or Fuzzy snipe? ty.
@Fox: Sorry for the late reply! I have updated Xenon’s pros and cons list. If you would like to share your own pros and cons that you have discovered playing Xenon, comment below 🙂
@thanatos1300: Thanks for your feedback! I’ll update Xenon’s Offensive Matrix skill.
@ShimizuSaika: Yes, you could either go pure or mix. I would recommend you to go with Mix Stat (STR/DEX/LUK%) because it will give slightly better damage and it provides you with additional effects such as Knockback Resistance from STR (Strength) and Abnormal Status Resistance from DEX (Dexterity). Zelkova (MapleStory senior player) has tested this by creating 2 Xenons at Level 123 (one pure and one regular mix-stat) and compared them side by side. Here is the video if you are interested to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akggPCbsBOA
erm should i focus my item all on LUK % or some is STR/DEX% also . Can mix version % eqp reach same effect as pure full LUK% set ?
Offensive Matrix is now a Passive instead of a Buff!
Your Xenon’s pros and cons only have pros.
& “Link skill gives you 10% all stat when you are level 70.” should be changed to 5%. 🙂
Actually, beam dancing have 260% damage
Hi Ayumi,
Noob question.
After Level 140, my xenon character only got 1 HSP for every 10 levels and it was not the “3 HSP per level up as per what you have mentioned in your HSP build guide.
Could you advise why so?
I do have 15 SP unused in 2nd Job Skill based on your guide.
Could this be the reason affecting why I am not getting the HSP that I should be getting?
Thanks.
ayumi i got my self a pros and cons about xenon
pros:nice damage , many skill when training will no boring , got a cool skin , cool jetpack ,many buff make him more strong and more survivalrate , can equip 2 android heart , high mobbility, fast attack and good link
cons: one of the hardest classes to fund (finding all stats% from pirate/thief equip is very hard to find in FM)
– Multilateral only gives bonuses depending on your base AP ( NOT FROM equips with % on it, link skills, and buff skills)
– Going pure luk will lose % of your damage
@Varicode, if you press the modal shift hotkey again it will go between your skills, at fourth job I believe the order is Mecha Purge, Hypogram Field, Combat Switch, then Quicksilver Sword.
Hi Ayumi, I am currently playing a xenon on reboot but for some reason the lvl 140 weapon Utgard Energy Chain says it is for both pirate and thief but when equipped it only comes up as a set effect for the pirate set. Would you happen to know why that is? Other people have said that there’s two of the weapons (one for pirate and one for thief) but the ones I am getting says it’s for both..
@Jonathan, go to the first tab in the skill window (beginner job skills) and you’ll see a skill called Modal Shift (GMS) or Multi-Mode Linker (MSEA). Binding this skill to a hotkey brings up the action to switch attacks without having to click on “MODE” in the skill window. One caveat: it seems to only let you switch between the attacks of your latest “mode shift” skill. In my case, I can only switch between the 4th job shift attacks, “Mecha Purge.”
Hi Ayumi I have tried out Xenon and he seems pretty fun. But do u know how to switch attacks quicksilver sword without having to press k and press mode and then press up right or left? Btw love your guides
thx ayumilove
I am using a lvl 144 xenon but my hp is 7449, mp 5307. what did i do wrong? i did everything that you wrote but when i kill monsters that are only lvl 142 i lose so much hp. is there a way to increase my hp and defence?
I was wondering, which of the 3 holograms are the best for bossing?
@Henry: All characters will only get max SP until Level 140. After Level 140, you will get HSP (Hyper Stat Points) which you can allocate to hyper stat that you would like to boost your character. The skill build guide for 4th job follows the old SP system (3 SP per level from Level 100-200). Since you are missing 1 SP to max all the skills, you can remove 1 SP from Maple Warrior.
Maple Warrior:
Level 29: MP Cost: 60, All Stats: +15%, Duration: 870 sec
Level 30: MP Cost: 70, All Stats: +15%, Duration: 900 sec
Hey, right now my xenon is lvl 152 so it doesnt get sp points anymore and i only have 139sp when i need 140sp to get everything to 30 points. Do you know if this is normal? And if it is what do i make 29 points?
Hey, been reading your guides and following you for a while now, love our work! My question is, for mastery books, don’t you max the “Xenon Expert” one first. I see you have “Beam Dance” as the 1st one and “Xenon Expert” at 7th place.
Since they implemented the new hyper stat system. What would you put in the hyper stat thing for Xenon since the things are limited?
xenon guide on leveling from 10x-11x
go to grand athenaeum. (dimension library)
talk to the bird and choose episode 2: empress in training.
next go to aqua road. then on to the third map with skeleton fish, bombing fish house and goby. just hold blade dancing and slowly chop all mobs from top to bottom and then to top. keep repeating, after awhile you will be very smooth at jumping and diving. plus, you don’t even have to buff yourself. took me about 30 minutes from level 107 to 114.
you can choose to grind longer, it’s up to you. but i stopped at 114 coz i got bored and want to proceed with story line.
http://maplestory.nexon.net/news/5183/v-168–reboot-patch-notes
There’s a new system for characters that are lvl. 140 and above. It’s called, the Hyper Stat system. We’re going to need a lot of updating. 🙂
@2Qs: Xenon is definitely one unique class that you should try them out. It’s very flexible in terms of mobility and high offensive power compared to regular Adventurer jobs. You could go for STR% first then DEX% and LUK%. STR for stance effect. LUK for dodge and DEX for status resistance. If you are training in places such as Dim Light where monsters easily stuns you (unable to move), it’s best to get LUK first to avoid their attacks and DEX to resist those stun effects.
Ayumi , Do you think a Xenon class is worth to play ? And which stat do you prioritize in potential ? STR%, DEX% or LUK% if there’s no All Stat %
@xenonx: If GMS has received the latest revamp, MSEA will also receive the new updates. But before they could do it, they will somehow put up some delay. Not sure if its due to the hacking/botting/etc activities or unforeseen circumstances that they need to solve before able to release new content patches.
Just wondering will there be any upcoming revamp for xenon class? Since the resistance class recently had a revamp but xenon and demon avenger/slayer weren’t affected by the revamp.
I wasn’t able to max all my first job skills?
I not understand. what means by additional evasion chance? the attack more higher?

I did not maxed my aegis system and I cannot use my instant shirk. what I can do
@Anymouse: Xenon is considered both a Thief and Pirate. So you can create a Pirate Set or Thief Set using Xenon.
For the character card, is Xenon considered a thief OR a pirate? Or he is both?
Hello! Just a quick question, in terms of bossing ability, which would be better ? Viper or Xenon ?
Hey! Quick question. After hitting 330 on all stats, what stat would I pump my remaining SP into for maximum DPS (STR, DEX, or LUK)? Thanks! (:
Hi, nice job. I just wondering the mastery book. They dont sell at Hensys anymore. So have you got any idea. I was in maplestory Europe.
@Leahnith: Yes, max means all 30 SP (Skill Points) for that particular 4th job skill.
Hi Ayumi but I was wondering when you mean max for the abilities(4th jobs) do you mean 30 sp in the skills?
Which stat should I main after I hit 330 on all? Are there any other benefits than the innate avoidability bonus of LUK, since I was thinking of going for DEX just because it’s generally much cheaper.
@Ayumilove: but Xenon need much fund??? i am a non – funded player
@Ayumilove: but xenon need to fund much??
@Ayumilove: i am a beginner, what should i play, the eunwol or the xenon?
@tansdjh: You should continue with Xenon as it is able to provide Link Skill Level 2 at Level 120 and provides beneficial stats from Deck System.
@Ayumilove: should i continue playing the dark knight or xenon
@Xenorcist: Power Stance is the most beneficial for me since I can prevents from being knockback by monsters bump/attack. The other remaining would be Avoidability and Resistance. You might be thinking Avoidability would make more sense to be the first since it avoids attack which saves your health potion and prevents you from getting knockback. MapleStory implemented a feature that allows certain number of avoid you can successfully pull off in a sequence. If you avoid more than XXX threshold they place, it will set the next avoid to be 0% based on my experiences. I play a high level thief and they still get hit by Snail Level 1 monsters after a couple of intentional bumps here and there to test this theory.
Hi Ayumi,
May I know if out of the 3 Attributes that I am supposed to reach the Multilateral Level, of which is the most beneficial to my Xenon Character? E.g Power Stance, Resistance, etc.
Still a very good guide, thumbs up 🙂
@NitoryuNoKenshi: thanks for the notice! I’ll update the link now 🙂
Hi, on this page (http://ayumilove.net/maplestory/), the link to Xenon is missing(it’s just text under ‘resistance’). Just notifying you in case it’s missed.
I got a question about multilateral and the AP auto assign button, u see, if for example i got already 90 of each stats in equipment, does the 90 total aply for multilateral or do u have to actually have the 90 str/dex/luk regardless your equips?? beacause if you do one would be able to (instead of using the button) manually assign AP until one gets the total 90 instead of doing it the slow way right??
can you post up an faq for weapons crafting and gear after lvl 100? cant find any info anywhere
Is there a way to put all the skills on the macro so it is evenly distributed with the supply energy and can do all skills in 1 go right now lv 113
@Eyan: Probably you could level up abit, then redo the quest once you are strong enough. Have you upgraded your equip? That would boost your damage and makes it easier to kill the monsters.
@Ludis: Thanks for your correction! I have updated the description.
Might want to change the 3rd job skill for Xenon because maplesea skill is not global maple story skill for fila scrambler and gravity pillar.
For global maple story “Everything maxed except Fila Scramble.” needs to be changed to “Everything maxed except Gravity Pillar.”
I cant get past the putside perspective 1 mission because the monsters there are too strong for me. im currently level 27. Is this supposed to happen? If it is what should i do?
Replying to Nate’s comment:
At first glance, it seems like the numbers could work out in that fashion. However, when you put it in the context of having 100 DEX, LUK, and STR, 3% all stat would provide 3 extra of each stat. When you add it all up, what you end up with is 9 extra points to 300 base points, which in the end is still 3%. So 3% all stat for Xenon is as effective as 3% in one stat for a regular class.
Xenon’s 25% extra stat follows the same logic. 25% of 100 DEX, LUK, and STR comes out to 25 of each. Totalled, you would come out with 75/300, which effectively is 25% of a single stat again.
Hope that clarifies things.
Hey! I was wondering how the stat distribution along the lines of potentials work. If I distributed my stats equal (330 each endgame) will having lets say, a 3% all stat item be equivalent to having 9% if it were a pure job (E.G Dual Blade with %luk?)
And another thing, I thought about it and if the above is true, Xenon’s get 25% all stats free eventually (MW and Link) that would be like having 75% if you were pure stat. (Like a DB with luk) Super op! Please correct me if i’m wrong, i’d really love to know how this works.
Thanks Jwoo, I have swapped the icons 😀
On 2nd Job Advancement, the icons are switched for Quicksilver sword: Flash and Focus
@Ric: You will need to balance them to get most out of it. Xenon has passive skills that relies on all 3 stats (except for INT). It’s also used to get the most out of the Level 200 passive skill.
how to add Xenon AP
pure at which better
all 3 need to add
@Neo Wei Xuan: Complete 4th Job Advancement at Level 100, and reach Level 140 to obtain your first Hyper Skill, then continue to Level up until Level 200 to unlock all Hyper Skills.
How to get hyper skills for xenon ?
For bossing, without max damage, which is better? Blade dancing or Fuzzy Rob Masquerade: Shoot ? Pls reply。 thanks in advance
@Inatoshi: Thanks for the notice! I have corrected the skill names in the combo section of 3rd Job.
Yo dude. For the Xenon combos you have written in 3rd Job. You use name that doesnt appear in the skillsets you have written. Perhaps call them what they are called on live?
For example you use diagonal launch which as far as I can see is called Diagonal Chase. Would make that part of the guide a bit easier to read.
Thanks for the well written guides though. 🙂
Why my xenon lvl 134 cant do the silent crusader quest chapter 3 ?? i just can kill chimera i cant kill manon and the others
Should I distribute the AP according to LUK, STR followed by DEX?
Oh, so after lvl 200, is it better to add AP to stats evenly or just add a single stat? if single, which would be the best, str,dex. or luk and are xenons better wearing equipments that adds all stats or single stat after their str,dex,luk gets to 330
What’s the reason for hyper magic defense and hyper hypogram field? are you suppose to use Hypogram field, if you are, which mode do you use?
YumeShido: I add based on the highest potential stat I have on my equipment 🙂 Purge Snipe is better than Beam Dance, however, if it keeps knockbacking you, best to perform Beam Dance instead as it has faster recovery from attack delay.
@AyumiLove: Which skill is stronger for fighting against a boss with high weapon defense like blackheart: beam dance or Mecha Purge Snipe? and how should you add your stats after level 200?
What should I do if I invested 4 sp in
Energy Spline?
@JamesLe: You can buy item at low price and sell it at higher price to make some profit in free market. Or do some bossing and sell the loot. Or craft item (e.g. weapon) and sell it. Or grind on monsters to make meso but this is kinda slow but it also helps in leveling up too. Or sell service where you help level someone up in return for some meso. Or sell fame for 10k meso (etc).
I’m poor and don’t have any money for mastery books. where can i get more money or some cheap mastery books?
Oooooohhhh I tried to upgrade mines from 10 to 30. I see my mistake, thank you.
@JamesLe: You can purchase from an NPC in Henesys or Leafre (I bought mine here) for 7m and 10m to upgrade the skill from Level 10 to 20 and 20 to 30.
Where can I get Xenon mastery books after red patch cuz i got this mastery book (its says Mastery Book 30) and I tried it but it doesn’t work. why?
Hi Bennett, in RED patch, they will only boost damage of Adventurer Skills. Xenon nerf will be introduced in a different patch.
Hi ayumilove,when RED patch xenon damage will go down?
Hi Thierr, Xenon deals more damage compared to Luminous and Phantom. Stick with Xenon. Create Luminous and Phantom for its link skill and pass it to Xenon.
Hi Bennett, you need to reach Level 140 to gain your first Hyper Skill Point.
Hi SeriouslySam, you must add 333 to each base stat to get the final (lvl 200) multilateral bonus. Then add AP into the highest stat%.
ShengHunter,
You need to use a 1 handed scroll as the xenon has another item in the place where a shield for a warrior should be. It’s called the Core Controller. As why you need to use the 1 handed scroll instead of 2.
Hope this helped.
Hi Ayumi! Here’s my question: at level 193 all my 3 stats are 330 each. After this which stat should i throw my rest ap? should i balance it or just focus the highest stat? (currently my highest stat is str and i wan to boost my damage). thank you and have a nice day!
Hi Ayumilove,What level I can get 1 SP for hyper skill?
Hi ShengHunter, use 1 handed weapon scroll for Energy Sword aka Whip Blade. I don’t think 1-handed/2-handed sword scrolls will work on it since its a Xenon unique weapon.
Ayumi may i ask you that energy sword is 1-handed or 2-handed weapon????Because I use 1-handed weapon scroll to upgrade my Energy Sword and success.
hi ayumi, good to write, I have xenon 180, and has a good team, but I delay in gaining levels and killing bosses, as gollux and magnus I approached, I thought about using a luminous because it is easy to gain levels with, and kill those bosses from afar, or also the phantom, which you recommend, my luminous and Phamtom are 120, or do you recommend me to stay with my xenon?, I need your ayuda.Gracias anticipated by ayuda. apology for my bad English.
Okay =)
@Zane: I mean GMS Zero will be made unavailable after 15th January 2014. Hope that clears up the misunderstanding of MSEA Xenon 😀
Ayumilove , [MAPLESEA] im waiting xenon creation back too . Comfirm Maplesea xenon creation will back around 15 january 2014 ?
@blurblurme: I think Xenon is locked for now. Perhaps they will unlock it when a new patch arrive. It’s a seasonal job similarly to Zero which will be locked around 15th January 2014. (Limited Time Release)
@blurblurme maplesea has block the creation of xenon right now, but i think u can create it after maplesea nerf it.
Hi, I jus return to maplesea & would to play Xenon but when creating I din see any class tat has xenon. hw & where to create it? TIA
Evrwin
That is what I said. Hologram Projection is like shadow image from thief jobs. Exactly why i said they hit 6 times instead of twelve/12.
You gotta learn to read, pal.
Thanks Evrwin for the Xenon Hyper Skills Distribution. I have updated the one based on your recommendation since Xenon benefit more with all 3 primary stats allocated.
EdwardLimChinShen:
Actually, none of your heads is shaking around.. at 3rd job there’s shadow projectile [like mirror image]
So when you attack using 4th job skills, it hits double. but not same damage.
Hai Ayumi, i’d like to share my tips for future xenon players. 🙂
My hyper point allocation:
Hyper Str/Dex/Luk
Hyper HP & Crit
Other point: Not sure [but i dumped it on Hyper Magic Def]
Xenon has no cons??
Hi Lalaland, create all characters that has link skills, level them up to 120 and link to your primary character. Setup your deck of cards. Equip with set gears and potential them with at least 6% primary stat and above (total +30% primary stat), and scroll your weapon. And you will deal around 15K base damage at Level 110. My orange damage is hitting around 30K on my Dawn Warrior without potential/scroll just with set gears + link skills + card deck.
Thanks Ihjj for the correction! I have updated the max level of Instant Shirk / Instant Shock.
Thanks Joel for the correction. I have updated Xenon details above.
Hi HeroezMastazz, sorry for the confusion. I have fixed Xenon 3rd Job Skill Build Guide. Dual Breed Defensive is MSEA whereas Hybrid Defense is GMS.
Hey ayumi, I got confused on the Xenon skill build with MSEA. Dual Breed Defence is Maplesea and Hybrid Defence is GMS
Joel, I am sorry for wronging you but the Rob Hit is actually 6 as you’ve been using hologram projection. It is originally 6.
For Beam Dance, it is also 1 time. Maybe you have been getting the extra line of damage by another player.
@Vanny: Hi Vanny, check the Xenon V2 Skill Build Guide. Compare your current skills max info with the guide. If V2 is lesser than yours, it means MapleSEA has not release the nerf yet. Try to train Xenon while it has not been nerf yet because the damage is reduced a lot, making it difficult to train on higher level monsters with much more HP.
Is the current xenon in maple sea pre-nerfed or post-nerfed?
Hi, would like to correct that Xenon is not both Pirate and Thief class even though it can wear both types of equipment For Card deck as well as PQ, Xenon is considered a thief class.
Also as of current for MSEA, Blade dance hits 6 mobs while Rob hits 12 mobs.
Xenon 4th job advancement, Instant Shrink max level is 30 for MSEA . Not sure for GMS.
Hi AyumiLove, how to increase the damage of my xenon if the orange damage is only 20+k??
Can you leave the Xenon post revamp skill damage?
Okay.I meant the orange one and thanks for the tip on damage. 🙂
Hi Ayumi, I noticed that I doesn’t have the Hero’s skills for 4th job. Do you know why by any means?
@EdwardLimChinShen: If your damage range is 10-20K is good. But if you mean 10-20K Orange Damage (that is shown on the screen when you hit enemies), its pretty low. Mine does like 40-50K damage. My Xenon which is around Level 150+ does like 120K damage per hit (of course with all the buff on + potential equip + other goodies)
Hello Ayumi! Is it counted as good if im doing around 10-20k damage around lvl 80 to lvl 99? I’m tempted to do a lot of damage as my other characters are only around lvl 50 – 150. Please reply to me quick as I will be training a bit fast.
@kjh07: The changes are the skills revamp for Resistance class, Xenon nerf, and some other buffs for other classes. Check this out for more details http://ayumilove.net/maplestory-skill-update-highlights-gms-v142/ (It has the links pointing to the new guides) V2 – version 2.
my xenon is lvl 148, his range is 90000++, is that low?
and is there anything change to this blog?
Hi XenonPlayerX, to improve Xenon attack and critical rate, I recommend that you grab hold of set of equips and cube them so you can get additional critical rate. However, for my preference, I cube them to gain additional stat% since that will boost damage more than having critical rate potential. If you are funded, purchase/cube high-level equipment (Level 100 and above) to achieve better potential stat. Also, try to get suit of equipment (hat + top + bottom + shoe + glove + etc = the same kind) similarly to Chef Tangyoon suit since that will give additional stat, weapon attack and critical rate (some of them). Critical rate can be achieve as high as 90% and above, depending on your funds.
Hi,your website is very useful and it helps me a lot.THX. But I have a question,Now my xenon lv91,actually lv91 attack and critical rate must be how much?And how to improve my xenon all ability…
What equip should i use…
Hi Ayumi. Thx for the skill build and i have a question that had been roaming in my mind. What would be a good place to train from 85 – 100 and aside from the common ways to get mastery books, are there any other alternative to obtaining them?
hi, i love your site it is very useful
i would like to ask a specific ap stat for high level on a xenon.
so heres my predicament: im lvl 192 xenon, and i need to lvl once more to get dex from 326 to 330, and str and luk are both 330.
i would like to know, which stat should i keep my ap focused on?
of all my gear, i have a total of 3% str, 15% dex, and 6% luk. total when buffed is,
998 str,
1041dex,
948 luk
im not sure which stat i should put it onto to get optimal damage. or even if i should keep all stats balanced.
help?
Hi heyyyy, thanks for the notice. I’ll update Xenon 4th Job Skill Build 🙂
O.o isnt it there. if u are talking about distributing SP, then i think it should be that it was already given a point upon 4th job like muti lateral
u missed out time capsule for 4th job skill build
xenon don’t have resistance?
Hi Ayumi, I was wondering, since at level 200 i will have more than 1000 ap under my disposal, do I keep my main stats at 330 or do I focus on 1 of the stat?
This worries me a lot as when i have obtained 260 stat for my main stats, after leveling and pumped the ap into LUK, my attack range dropped…
Hi ayumi, in MSEA, Xenon is not yet receive his nerf right? I’m thinking of whether playing him as main.
Hi kjh07, personally I just use Diagonal Chase + Shoot down during my 3rd Job training. It’s far more efficient since it enables you to scout through the map while defeating the clustered enemies. Try it out! Be sure that the training ground does not have any high platform above you as its kinda annoying to jump down manually due to being stuck above when flying up diagonally.
i can’t do like the video does, Pillar Scramble + Combat Switching: Shoot Down, it just can”t do it at the same time like the video
Hi Wen, there are 2 ways. Free and Cash. Free requires you to remake the character. Cash requires you to spend NX Cash (GMS) or A-Cash (MSEA) which can be obtained by purchasing those coupons from local store, scratch it to get the secret code and redeem it in Cash Shop. Obviously both waste time. If you can level up to Level 60 in less than 2 hours, its kinda worth it. The trip to the store to purchase cash and returning home would take around less than 2 hours though.
Wen, just wait till this coming saturday 9/14/2013. You get SP reset skills scroll from hot time event.
Lv 70*
I accidentally max Ion Thruster. Not enough SP for PinPoint ROcket … So do I remake the character ? I’m in lv 60 now and used all my sp
Really need advice
Hi Xenonplayer, add all of them equally into STR, DEX and LUK to reap the benefits from Multilateral skill (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) and one more at Level 200.
Hi, may i ask whether do i add more on str or dex or lux? :/
I accidentally max Ion Thruster. Not enough SP for PinPoint ROcket … So do I remake the character ? I’m in lv 60 now and used all my sp
ayumi I’ve made up my mind of either choosing a xenon or a luminous which do you think is best overall
HI Ayumi san, is 99m consider expensive for a Offensive matrix 20 mastery skill book, thank you.
okok thks you very much ayumi 😀
Hi Edmund, I just use auto AP distribution for my Xenon though. Didn’t pay much attention to the AP distribution. As I advised earlier, go for the stats you have potential stats on. That’s how you boost your damage fast.
thx again, 1 more question is my remaining sp i should put which stats?
Hi Edmund, either STR, LUK or DEX will enhance your stats. Let’s say most of my equip has DEX potential +15%, it would be wiser for me to add more into DEX compared to other stats. Assuming I have equip potential all stats +15%, either any stat will do except INT.
thx ayumi, one last question is should i enhance my luk more than str and dex then? Plus will luk plus more damage?
Hi Edmund, people add into LUK is to have high avoidability. Higher avoid = less damage intake from enemies = less knockback on your character = higher DPS output due to nil disruption of your attack vs enemies. Another thing is perhaps there are more LUK % potential equipment available for Xenon to equip compared to pirate’s that focuses more on Strength or Dexterity.
so when all the 3 stats is at maximum whch stats is preferable to enhance in
because i see ppl up luk more than the other 2
Ty ayumilove for explaining to me was very puzzled 😀
Hi MalevolentZz, its very convenient to have extra energy for you to use to activate skills that require energy. If you do not find yourself using those energy buff skills, you can max other skills first. But based on my experience which includes 4th Job skill, I still lack the energy I need to have all my energy skills buffed up.
Hi dareXenonZ, grab the ones listed in MAX priority in Xenon 4th Job Skill Build Guide. Currently Xenon mastery books are rare, therefore expensive. Personally, I would grab any cheap ones and upgrade my skill 🙂
hi Ayumi…, could you please help me by listing all most important skill book for xenon ? bcoz im in dilemma to choose which skill book to get first…ty
Hi ayumi can you explain to me why must max energy supply first at 3rd job rather then the other skills ty in advance
hey ayumilove! just a random question, why is there always a super lag for me in towns like Henesys but in other places the connection is fine? been bugging me for a while coz i cant do the quests for xenon T.T thanks for the guides btw!
Hi anonquestions, you can max Ion Thruster instead of Quicksilver abilities during 2nd Job. Just a quick note, Ion Thrusters consumes some energy, therefore its pretty a hassle having to wait for energy to replenish before you can use it again. For me, I mostly used Quicksilver Leap for jumping platforms above me (best for training at Jesters) and Quicksilver Flash for bossing. If you can 1 hit ko monsters, Quicksilver is the way to go for.
Hi ayumi, I was just wondering if it would be fine to max ion thruster as opposed to quicksilver since the quicksilver abilities are replaced with 3rd job’s combat switching skill
Hi passerby, you can get them from Mystery Mastery Books or boss raids. The rewards are random. So you need to try alot. Otherwise, purchase from other players via freemarket. But it will cost an arm and a leg to do so since its kinda rare these days and demands for Xenon books are pretty high at the moment.
Uhm, I’m new to maple, but could you possibly tell me where can I get xenon mastery books please?
Thanks Mr. Questions for the notice! I have corrected the link skill level from 100 to 70 🙂
hey ayumi i just noticed that the pros and cons said that you put the links skill can be shared at 100 and most link skills are at 70. I dont know if its different for xenon but thanks for all the skill builds!!
im starting my Xenon today this morning, and im absolutely shock when i see ap distribution… i play maplsea and i hope auto-distribution ap will ultimately boost my damage compared to 2 other ap-distribution.F3
hey ayumilove! could you ake a list of what monsters drop what energy sword/any other equipd? would really help a lot of players out there! your guides are really good~ thanks for the effort!
Hi VonNoir, max Pinpoint Salvo Redesign A as it will be required to max other skills above (2nd, 3rd, 4th). Xenon Booster not required to max.
Hi Ayumi, I recently started a Xenon and accidentally put one too many points into Ion Thrust, now i have to choose to max Pinpoint salvo Redesign A or Xenon Booster. Which skill has less of an impact on later levels?
Do you know where i can farm mmbs? I see a lot of people that sell 100 or 300 mmbs and i don’t really know where i can get them.
Ah thanks.
Hi Ayumi, I don’t think you had the Necro Hefty Hand in there
There are alot of mistake at 2nd job skills.
Hey Ayumi, I was wondering like i’m level 65 and uhm, i was wondering where to train from now on since jesters are nerfed and i cannot find the omega sector quests.
Where can we get Terminus Jaegar?
Hi Demonidas, Demon Avenger and Demon Slayer is slightly less powerful than Xenon and Kaiser.
Hi ayumilove, what about demon avenger/slayer? how would they compare to xenon/Kaiser/luminious in terms of damage?
Thanks in advance 😉
Hi TannexoN, Kaiser and Xenon are almost on par with each other, followed by Luminous, Mechanic and Phantom.
Hi Ayumilove ,do you thing Phantom,Luminous,Kaiser,Mechcanic and Xenon which is the most powerfull? This problem alsways flowding at my head……..(My english so bad>.<)
Hi Chalseu Milneo, I have not encountered this. Perhaps someone who had this issue can share their experiences on how to solve it.
Hi Wenwen2005, I’m not sure whether you are referring to plain training or something else. Basically just kill monsters till you reach Level 100. The fastest way is to do Party Quest. Team up with some other players and do the quest.
Hi XenonLuv, at Level 60 to 90, I go for Tangyoon Cooking Class Party Quest. Literally every 20 minutes 1 level up. Basically I afk for 3 minutes per round (5 rounds per PQ) for 100 monsters to spawn and later kill them. The EXP from here is small. But the end reward (having all ingredients inserted correctly) gives 95-100% MAX EXP. You can do 10 rounds per day max and that will get you to Level 70. From there, you move on to Level 70 Quest at Dimensional Mirror. Go for Ludi Party Quest and Orbis Party Quest. That racks up quite a lot of EXP. Basically 3 rounds of Ludi PQ gives 2 level up in a matter of less than 30 minutes depending on your PQ team.
Hi coolboy, GMS Xenon Voice is localized to USA (English) instead of Korean. For Korean, its available in MSEA (MapleStory South East Asia).
Hi Xenonpower, grab Xenon Expert Mastery Book.
Hi ayumi
How to do the demon slayer to lv100
Hey Ayumi
do you know where is the best place to train for lv 61 Xenon? im trying to beat my friend and he’s lv 71! :'(
For lvl70 which mystery book to take???
For lvl70 mastery book take which one???
Hey, do you know anything on the issue with the Puppeteer and Dargoth? You automatically DC every time you click NEXT> when your character says “You said I don’t look anything like Orchid? Please tell me more.” Do you have any suggestions?
Is GMS xenon voice cover in Korean?
Hi Dalvin, both should be equally same. Only different is the skill names as shown in the skill build.
is GMS xenon stronger than MSEA? or they are both the same?
Hey Ayumilove,
Do you know why maplestory automatically closes when I do the puppet quest, in lv 50? It’s really bugging me and it even does that on my friend’s computer when I try it. I asked other people but they all passed the quest.
Thx
Hi MaverickTjj, I don’t think there are any more extra skills. Perhaps MapleStory would come up with 5th job skills to fill up those gaps 🙂
Hi ayumilove. Will there be any more skills? Cause I’m level 184 xenon yet i’ve so much skill points left.
After playing Xenon for a while it’s quite fun.
Just want to help answer some doubts.
Hologram Graffiti: Cut Through attacks by the bouncing ball.
Hologram Graffitti: Stationmaster attacks all mobs in field when the ball reach the sides.
Therefore, cut through is better for bossing because it can keep hitting the boss while stationmaster is used for cleaning mobs.
Xenon’s AP are distributed equally across 3 stats for the bonus, so u will likely have 330ap at least on all 3 stat for all bonus while other classes had 999. Therefore 3% stat increase obviously had more effect on the 999 than 330: 30 vs 10.
Hey Ayumilove, I’m here again
I think in 2nd job the name is perspective shift instead of linear perspective.
Hey Ayumilove,
Do you know why maplestory automatically closes when I do the puppet quest, in lv 50? It’s really bugging me and it even does that on my friend’s computer when I try it. I asked other people but they all passed the quest.
Thx
no you cannot
xenon link skill can link to another xenon ?
Hi ererrewr, I have fixed Fuzzy Rob Masquerade: Fire / Mecha Purge : Bombard max target from 8 to 12! Thanks for the correction.
Fuzzy Rob Masquerade: Fire / Mecha Purge : Bombard is 12 enemies not 8
hi ayumi i’m wondering about the occasional 1 damage on xenon, i mean seriously what’s with that on gms
Hi Skye Sylphlycus, Ion Thrust is 14/15 (less 1 SP from max mastery level).
whats the name of the songs
I was wondering, you have Ion Thrust at 14/20 in the guide, but the max level for it is 15. Should I level it to 14 as that’s what the guide says, or level it to 9 as it’ll leave a 6 point gap?
Hi Sam, I do not know if includes Super Weapon Defense Up and Damage Reflect. Perhaps another high level Xenon can help test and post the results here 🙂
Hi XenonLuv, I have added a list of Xenon weapon (aka energy sword) at the bottom of this guide.
Hi Ayumi,
The level 170 Xenon hyper says that it debuffs enemies. Does that include super Weap Def Up and Damage Reflect like smite?
Hey Ayumilove, What are the types of names for Xenon equips? Thx
Hey Ayumi, what my friend told me about the hitting 1 dmg is that when I hit a miss, it sometimes show as 1 dmg instead of a MISS. I think he’s right coz the closer the mob lvl is to me, the less 1s and MISSes I hit.
Hi Lancepick, I don’t think so since they are both different skills.
Ayumi, does Pinpoint Rocket Fortification affect the dmg of Easy System?
Hi WolfCake, Xenon’s 4th Job Primary attack would be Mecha Purge. Use Snipe for Boss and Bombardment (enemies close range). If weaker enemies, use Fire/Bombard (laser). You can use Blade Dance but the accuracy is lesser compared to Snipe. If you tend to miss a lot, switch to Snipe. Most Xenon uses Snipe because it can deal damage instantly instead of getting disrupted in the middle of dancing the blade.
Ayumi, I would love it if you reply. First of all Keep Up the good skill builds. I use them for every class I play! Second and Finally, what is Xenon’s main attack skill at fourth job, so I know which mastery book to get. If anyone could help. Thanks!
What hyper skills do you recommend for lvl 200? I just reached 200 today and would like to know. I haven’t used a single point yet.
Hi Hugo, Halfmoon Zamadar is not Xenon’s primary weapon. Therefore, they can’t use it even though they have sufficient LUK or same/higher character level.
I cant equip the Halfmoon Zamadar ( lvl requirment 32 ) when im lvl 32, i dont have the luk that is needed but it should work with the passive,( camouflage) right?
hey ayumi, im not sure if this question was asked yet because the comments list was HUGE but whats the difference between the green hologram graffiti thing and the purple graffiti thing?
Thanks AngelicLuminous for the notice! I’ll be adding pinpoint rocket final fortification details now 🙂
ayumilove you listed pinpoint rocket final fortification in the skill build but didn’t list it under the skills in 4th job
sorry, that’s no 2nd free mastery book for xenon when reach 120 level.. >.<
hello Ayumilove, Betty here Again. Thank you for the 1st replies.
Last week i tried get the MMB from Season shop but never got any one SB 20, more than 20 MMB i opened all are 30 >.<, i wonder how could that happen? Because i unlucky?
and which should i choose 2nd free mastery book for my Xenon? Fuzzy Rob Masquerade or Hologram Graffiti? Or others?
Thanks again ^-^
Hi Jarod, I have to check it out. Would be posting here later 🙂
Hi Colin, my Xenon had that too when dealing damage against enemies especially bosses during my party quest. Maybe they had this high defense buff up? I’m still figuring this out.
hey ayumi is this version the nerfed version or the pre nerfed version
Hey Ayumi, I have a question. I’m really curious as to why does this happen. I’m dealing pretty ok damage, but something weird happens. for example, Fuzzy Masquerade : Snipe, I deal about 100k-300k per line. but sometimes, one or two of the lines appear as 1 Damage. This happens with other attacks as well, Blade Dancing, other modes of fuzzy masquerade, and other skills. Just wondering if you could answer my question as to why does this happen, even my friend says its weird as he’s a Xenon about my level and he doesn’t hit 1s. (there’s no Cancel WA or DR, normal monsters).
Hi Jayric, usually jump quest does not allow you to fly. Are you referring to the Zakum Jump Quest?
how to fly in zakum pre-quest ?
Ayumi ke lian so busy.
Hey Ayumi,
Hey there! I have 2 questions to ask. for the Hologram Graffiti, I don’t understand why would one use the green one when the purple one hits almost twice the dmg? The description sounds pretty much the same to me and I’ve tried it in game and the dmg for purple is about 2x more.
and also, is there a stat which adds more dmg than the others? like for example, LUK gives maybe 1 or 2 more dmg per stat compared to STR and DEX?
and also for MSEA, the MultiMode for Hologram Graffiti is a bit diff.
purple : left, green : up, pink : right.
Do xenon get will of alliance quest?
My question solved…i think that time i was bugged so my fila scramble did not toss the enemies up to the sky
Ayumilove, i have something to ask you…Does xenon 3rd job skill toss the enemies up to the air? I’m from maplesea and this question bothers me for days because i could not see the effects that enemies have been tossed up
Hi Ryan, I played around with the Rockets, but its not powerful enough to strike a kill quickly compared to Xenon’s primary attack. Strangely, I’m unable to attack enemies while having by Aviation Liberty booster on (flying) except for launching rockets. I wonder why.
Hi Betty, grab Xenon Expert as your free mastery book.
Hi Betty, grab the Xenon Expert as your Free Mastery Book for Xenon.
Ayumi! I need help >< My friend tells me that I shouldn't be worrying too much about it since I probably won't use the rockets a lot. However, I wanted to know what your thoughts are and if you could give me any advice regarding this matter. Thank you once again, your guides are always helpful and easy to understand.
Hi Ayumilove, which free mastery book should choose for Xenon?
Betty
Ion Thruster is Lv15 MAX in MapleSEA and GMS
Hi ayumilove. I have a question. In your guide, under Xenon 2nd Job Skill Build (MSEA/GMS) #8 says: Ion Thruster / Ion Thrust (14/20). Do you mean that i should put 14 sp into ion thrust? Because in GMS Ion thrust max level is 15. Thx
Retarded guides . Xenon has 3 main stats (STR, DEX and LUK). If you wear 3% STR, it would be distributed evenly and become 1% STR, 1% DEX, and 1% LUK.? bullshiits in maplesea , when u wear 9% str its only gives 9% to str not 3% str/dex/luk… wtf is this guide..u dun even know how anyhow post it?
Ayumi, do the % stats (such as %STR and %LUK) only distribute evenly when they are 3%, 6%, 9%, and so on? A 2% STR only distributes the AP to STR.
Ayumi you’re awesome :3
Hi Maplers, Xenon is much better in terms of gameplay as you have many skills at your disposal whereas Demon Avenger is more like a beefy tanker that can handle any amount of attacks, even the 1% HP attack from Zakum (which takes 4 of those to take down Demon Avenger whereas most jobs get it at 1) I could say that Xenon and Kaiser are more likely on par with each other and their potential can be greatly increased with the right godly equipment + link skills + maplestory deck card combination + medals/accessories.
Hey Ayumi, the ion thruster, do you cap it to level 14? i don’t quite understand.
Your website is great! Especially finding a decent skill build!! 🙂 Buh Bye
hi, I’m in maplesea and my energy spline (1st job) hits for 150% when maxed. also I’m pretty sure incline power (1st job) uses 3 energy, not 3 mp.
Ayumi i wanna ask some question , demon avenger vs xenon which are better ? I wanna play a char can solo boss and dmg will higher
Hi, whats a good stat build? there are three stats which one should i focus on
what is a good stat build for xenon, because there are three stats to build to so whats a guild build?
Hi Ayumilove can Xenon fly and fight? And I was reading some of the questions and do you mean July 4th for Jayric
Hey Ayumi! I’m wonder what skill book to take when I reach 70?
Hey Ayumi,
great guide you got there. I’m just wondering; what’s your opinion about Xenon? I mean yeah since it’s coming out on 3 July for MSEA but I’m still deciding if it’s a fun job for me to fund it. And based on experience which equips (pirate or thief) is more suitable for Xenon giving it the maximum damage output? (Since pirate are usually str and dex and thief are luk and dex) P.S asking about your review ><
I playing Maple sea
Hi Jayric, it will be all clear once you try out Xenon which will be arriving on 4th July 2013 GMS.
as u mention % will equally to the stat … if item that add 30 dex 30 luk … how it gonna be ? become 20 str , 20 dex , 20 luk ? confusing ….
Ayumi, is xenon still good after the nerf? I heard it got nerf already. my friend said it not that good after the nerf. Unlike anglic buster, which still have high damage after the nerf?
Hello ayumi , one more question . if i eq 6% int eqs what will happen?
Hi Rexion, its best to get all stats as it will vastly improve your damage because Xenon does not only rely on 1 stat but 3 stat (STR, DEX, LUK).
Hello Ayumi , i got one question about those % eqs , like u said , 3% str equals to 1% str&dex&luk . Why someone say that all stats % is better than others? please answer my question tyvm 😀
Hi Ayumilove sorry for last time I wasn’t used to your new thing so I wanted to ask if you can fight while your flying?
Ayumilove
May I know u said that the 3% Luk will divided to str, dex n Luk each get 1%, is it hav any prove to mention that? Because I found that a lot websites r different to mention it, if yes, let me know can because i wanna sok all my item to play xenon, if wrg then I won’t be go xenon aldy
Another question is the xenon Energy charge is like kaiser charge his orb or AB charge his skill then only can use certain skill? Pls reply me ya
I really urgent to know it
Thx ya
Can pls reply me?
Hi (GMS)gamer, To change the mode of your skill, you have to hold down the skill key then press Multi Mode Linker (Beginner job skill)
Hi Ayumi how do you switch modes without going to the skills list
Hi Ayumilove xenon is about to come out for gms so I just wanted to ask a question so how do you switch mode on the skills fast like without going on the skills list
Hey Ayumilove xenon is about to come out for GMS and I just wanted to ask you a question so how do you switch modes so fast?
Hi ayumilove, so % Luk, Str, and dex gets distributed evenly for xenon, does that mean 6% luk will be the same as all stats 2%?
Ayumilove
May I know u said that the 3% Luk will divided to str, dex n Luk each get 1%, is it hav any prove to mention that? Because I found that a lot websites r different to mention it, if yes, let me know can because i wanna sok all my item to play xenon, if wrg then I won’t be go xenon aldy

Thanks ayumilove
Where do you live? When does xenon appear in new zealand?-.-
Wow! Thanks Ayumi that is better than anything I could come up with =D
Hi Chris, how about Xenonetic?
Sorry Ayumi I worded that wrong, I meant it would be an honor for me if you name my Xenon XD. Thank you so much =D
Hi Ayumi, big fan here!
I have OCD and I always sit at my computer for like 4 hours when I try to think of a name. Could you help me think of a name?
I’ve always used your website for Maplestory info and it would be an honor for you to name my Xenon.
Hi Xenon OP, are you currently playing in KMS? If yes, just try the auto-ap distribution and you will get the idea. Basically, you are only allowed to add AP into only 3 stats. STR, DEX and LUK. Just add them equally or use the auto-ap button to save the hassle. Its pretty straight forward. Warrior only needs STR, therefore add AP only to STR. Demon Avenger needs HP only, therefore add AP into HP. For Xenon, add AP into all 3 stats, balancing them out.
Hi, what is the main xenon stat build? It has three stats it is really confusing.
Please answer back, Ty
Both jobs have their good and bad. What I love about DA (Demon Avenger) is they do not need to pot at all whereas Xenon has many mode of attacks which keeps you less bored with training.
Hi ChiaMC, all jobs are bound to get nerf once they are released. So you do not need to get concerned with it. My advice is just try the character and have fun with it. Damage isn’t the only thing that gives fun 🙂
Yes
Btw Is there a nerf in Xenon? I saw it from orange mushroom blog
Who is better DA or Xenon
One handed weapon scrolls can be used on all one handed weapons (e.g. Cane, dagger, one handed swords) whereas energy sword scrolls can only be used on energy swords. The one handed scrolls are rare as only obtained through events and only available in 100% that adds 2 wa(white) and 50% that adds 5 wa (pink), those are a lot more expensive than energy sword scrolls and are mostly used by people to perfect scroll their item. Energy sword scrolls on the other hand can be hunted and are available in 10% that adds 5 wa and 60% that adds 2 wa, there is also a miracle one but no one has obtained it yet.
@DeSnowy so in that case,why do they sell energy sword scrolls? when you can use one handed scrolls? o.o is there any differences?
@jonathan I play maplesea too, some hacker shops in the fm are already selling 60% scrolls for energy swords at 13m ea (for Aquila server). I’m not sure of the other servers though. It is also possible to use 1h weapon att scrolls. And yes, u can mix pirate and theif equipments.
Xenon is stronger as compared to phantom, with it’s virtual projection (similar to shadow partner and mirror image) blade dancing can also hit twice. Xenon’s blade dancing is also faster than phantoms Mille aiguiles. Also, at lv 30 Mille aiguiles does 120% x 2 which gives it 240% while blade dancing is 300% on its own at lv 30.
Is phantom better then Xenon? Phantoms Mille auguilles hits enemies 2 times per attack dealing 190% damage total per attack at level 1 while xenon only does 180% damage per attack at level 1 so does that make phantom stronger?
Greetings from Malaysia (SEA) Ayumi,May I know what scroll does Xenon use for his Energy Sword?May I also know if you can wear both pirate and thief equips, lets say for example a lv 70 overall pirate equip and a lv 70 thief shoes,is it possible to mix them together?Hope to hear soon,thank you 🙂
Got a question about the example that u said with 3% str becomes 1% dex 1% str 1%luk
is this proved or just a wild guess ? D: since i was reading so many guides and every guide say something else hope for a fast answer that clears everything thanks in advance ^_^
If u have Cygnus set, go for it, since 5 set effect adds +30 all stat.
If having mix equip is better wat about Cygnus set effect??
Hi Kaze, don’t need to worry much about nerfing. It’s all about game balancing as they say by the Nexon Game Developers. It’s a 50/50 chance that it might buff its damage instead of nerf. As the saying goes, the grass is greener on the other side.
Hi, Ayumi can i heard that other people say that Xenon get nerf, isit really?
If really nerf, how nerf? Will it like phantom nerf so worst?? I m very worry hope can reply me T.T
Hi Robokiwi, it depends on MapleSEA administrators. Sometimes, they delay their updates for a very long time and abruptly release all the updates in 1 go. Kinda unpredictable compared to GMS which releases updates every 2-3 months.
Hi ayumi,since someone in the comments below mentioned that xenon is coming out in July 3rd for MapleSEA approximately how long before the Cygnus revamp?A month?
Thanks Mystery for the correction! I’ll update Xenon skill build now where Multilateral is given automatically 🙂
Ayumi, I’m pretty sure that multilateral is automatically maxed upon job advamcement (so you only have 3 points on a new job)
Btw i tell u the reason that i say this 4job to choose, because those jobs not yet release on maplesea yet.(U will think is really, lol) so i decide to choose a new job (btw cos i dint try them before so i have more reason to ask u), and also i wan seriously prepaid to buy the eq first, before the newjob all out, because when they out is too late to buy, fm price sure up very high.THk agn for your comment~~~
P.S: About the hacker stuff i also know, but dont scare cause maplesea many hacker in game, they hack boss/botting more earn fast and better then go hack mapler. SO no worries
about get hack hehe ^.^!!
THKS AYUMI! Thks for the comment, at started i ask my other friends all, but they say if u wan cheap and save money on eq for good bossing, u should choose kaiser.I was agree their opinion , but seen i not really like kaiser, is feel not very fun for me, I more prefer to xenon or anglelic buster, but ab is confirm will nerf. So i dont hope it, so at last i left xenon
but i still cant sure isit really good ornot, seen my friend all less ppl know about it.But seen u
also comment this then i more relieved to choose xenon.So now i already started search fm to find allstat% eq, early buy is more cheap ma haha.
Hi Kaze, some MapleStory players just buy directly from the seller using real money $$$ approximately 5-100 USD based on scrolled/potential equip instead of using mesos. Another method is to purchase meso from meso site and use those meso to purchase the godly scrolled equip. Both have their own risks though. The second one is much more flexible since you can use meso for something else. Take note to purchase *LOCKS* from Cash Shop to lock those items to prevent anyone especially hackers from stealing your hard-earned equip and later re-selling them to the freemarket. But then again, hackers can play your account and display some hacking activities to allow GM to have a reason to ban your account. Back to the topic! What do you mean by those four (4) jobs? Best for bossing right now is Xenon since it deals super high damage when equipped with all stats % boost weapon, armor and accessories. One of the KMS player spend tons of real cash and defeated the ultimate boss in MapleStory Root Absys through soloing.
HI, Ayumi is me agn, i wan ask u i got some job want example Those 4 job, which want should i choose? I want good for bossing ,
but i m not rich i just have 2b now can pay for my eq, I m not sure that i can pay for my character pro cygnus eq set ornot also (because my server there 1 eq price ady near 1b or above) So that i wish i can train for earn more meso to be more rich too. So can please give me a comment about which job the example i show, should i choose?thk
Hi Kaze, all jobs are bound for nerf/buff depending on how the MapleStory developers sees them. If too overpowered, they will make them less powerful aka nerf. Obviously, who wants their primary job to be nerf hahaha. If nerf, it makes it deal less damage, which leads to slower training. It’s unavoidable though.
Hi, Ayumi i wan ask u that on your opinion that do you think that xenon will nerf by KMS?
Just like kms did to angelic buster, cos now i m maplesea player, i train my phantom so hardful to high lv but ends up now become nerf, is too bad for me, i was wasted my time and effort all d. So i wan find a good job is really stable, and even nerf also won get too worst.I wan that specially good on bossing too.Give me some your opinion thk.
They do actually, like cash shop updates and server maintenance, but sometimes they do it with short notice
Hi XxThotdxX, is there a reason why they do not perform updates on Wednesdays o__O ?
Oh ps, Luminious & Kaiser date is 12 June 2013, not 11 June, as MapleSEA usually does patches on Wednesdays
Thanks XxThotdxX for the job release dates in MapleSEA 😀
Hi Xexonshs: Luminous, Kaiser and then Xenon.
Which job is release first? Luminous xenon kaiser
The dates have been confirmed for
MapleSEA already as part of the Season 2 Patches:
May 15 2013- Demon Avenger
May 29 2013- Angelic Buster
June 11 2013- Luminous & Kaiser
July 3 2013- Xenon
They pretty much crammed all the 5 new jobs within 2 months, so we’re quite lucky to have them all in one big revamp (It is likely there will be 4 patches, one for each of the aforementioned dates for the new jobs)
I think I’m gonna toy around with this build, with mixed AP distribution — if it’s true that MSEA will have Xenon as early as July 3 (Season 2 patch includes Legends and Resistance revamps — as per Part 1 of the official patch notes, and with Tempest and Unlimited lumped together) at least I have a guide I can refer to.
The only downside to this is that the All Stats% Pirates and Thieves’ equipment will skyrocket — especially the Thieves’ topwear and bottomwear (Level 90 and below). And I think I’m gonna be screwed by Multi-Mode for quite a while. Ouch.
Hi Mechanic309, you can equip Xenon either pure or mix, but mix is much better since Xenon benefits from all 3 stats instead of 1! Use mix to triple the benefits.
Does it mean that this class can’t play pure?
Hi Darren, Xenon has a skill called Camouflage under the Beginner Skill Tab. This skill allows Xenon to equip either Pirate or Thief armor. For the weapon, it uses a special retractable laser sword, and this weapon does not fall under Warrior. It’s basically a unique weapon similarly to Angelic Buster having her Soul Shooter.
So what items xenon wear? or cn eq warrior or theif or pirate eqs?
Hi Colin, all stats would be better, assuming if you are one of the lucky guys to get those from potential 3 lines, but currently the market is saturated with pure stat (e.g. 15% str, 15% dex, 15% luk, 15% int) 🙂
Wouldn’t %all stats be better? If you have 9% all, if would have 9% in each stat instead of being 3% + 3% + 3%
Hi Denzcel, just grab any %items that suits Xenon primary stat and it will boost its damage. For example, you have an item with 9% str will be equivalent to having all stat item with 3% in each stats. (3% str + 3% dex + 3% luk) To get the highest damage for Xenon is to preferably equip items that has ALL STATS! Why? Let’s take this for example, suppose you have +9% all stats equip (you will gain 3 times more stat compare to pure stat) because the formula is 9% str + 9% dex + 9% luk = 27% stat (excluding int since its not a primary stat) whereas a pure stat item would give +9/12% str/dex/luk which still lesser than all stats.
I’m really lost, so what %items would a xenon aim for, for the highest amount of damage possible?
HI Ayumi,can u post xenon storyline video if u have time?
Quick question as mentioned earlier 3% STR would be distributed evenly among the 3 main stats. Does the same go for 3% dex and 3% Luk? to be distributed evenly among the 3 stats?
What is Xenon’s card? You said its Boss. So like % all stat?
Hi Swift, it would be probably be around 6-8 months from Dec 2012 when KMS released it.
Hey um when does Xenon come out to gms?
Hi Ivan, Xenon uses 1h (1-handed weapon) sword.
what kind of weapon does Xenon use? one handed or two handed?
Hi GMS (Gamer), Xenon would probably be release around 6-8 months time after Dec 2012.
Hi Ayumi its me Xenon still hasn’t came out yet for GMS can you give me another guess on when its coming out?
Hi MMZ90, use the Auto AP and it will distribute the AP (Ability Points) into the 3 stats.
Hmm…This class looks…interesting but…it seems complicated what with the different modes/stats distrbutions…Is it complicated to use? Assuming you’ve played it that is lol
So then that would be a favourable stat for xenon, correct? I’ll need to tell my friend to focus on that then.
@UglyAssBoob it means STR, INT, DEX, and LUK all have 3% boost
Lets say you have 3% all stats. Does that mean 3% will go into str, 3% into dex, and 3% into luk as well?
How do you know what you should put ur SP points into if u dont play maplestoru O…O
Well, I’m pretty hype. Took my two favorite classes and made a hybrid of them!
Hi Jett Tan, Xenon would probably be release to MapleSEA (Singapore + Malaysia + Philippines) around 3-6 months after they release Kaiser + Angelic Buster, which is a really long wait!
hey ayumilove , can u tell me when will xenon release in singapore?????pls reply me!!pls!!
Thanks Duncan, I have to fix the Quicksilver Sword Icon.
Hey Ayumilove! I think you have messed up on the second job Quicksilver sword and whip icons
Hi (GMS) Gamer, Xenon would probably be released in GMS within 2-3 months from now depending on how fast they can translate the Korean to English text for the quest, skills and Xenon storyline + voice over (hiring voice actress/actor)
Hi Ayumi when is xenon coming out for(GMS)?
Teravictum , i think xenon link skill is Hybrid Logic , look at beginner job
Ayumilove hi I wonder if you know when they launch the Xenon in maplestory europe?
Do Xenon have a link skill?
Hello, I would like to ask if Xenon uses 1 handed weapon or 2 handed weapon? Thank you.
Hi DonutRose, probably within 3-4 months as seen like Tempest updates, should be sufficient time for the Global MapleStory Staff to do their Korean to English Translation for the skills, quests, storyline and skill voice over (similarly to Luminous), as well as any other skill patching to sync with KMS (Korean MapleStory).
Thats not op by no way does that look op. >.>
When do you think Xexon is going to come out in GMS?
Why did you uninstall Maplestory? Don’t you like it? Oh, and what’s your favorite character? I like Luminous, Kaiser, Angelic Burster, Demon Slayer, Mercedes, and Xenon. And if you don’t play Maplestory a lot, then how do you have a lot of good characters? Do you use the Tespia version?
Hi Deity, its just a coincidence. Intel also named their CPU as Xenon. Ayumilove Xenon 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th Job Skill Preview will be available for viewing within 10 minutes (uploading)
Oh wait… Haha I just realized something… Xenon is Nexon rearranged lol 😀
Hi Harry, I don’t play much MapleStory, used to have few versions of installed on my PC (GMS/SEA/JMS/etc) but I have uninstalled them. If you have some video recording of it uploaded on your Youtube, you can post links here 🙂
Do you play Korean Maplestory? If you do, what servers do you use and what’s your characters’ name? I play Korean Maplestory because I live in South Korea right now.:)
Hi Wing Hang, Good Question! I missed that out in the skill build. Added Xenon Booster after adding 1 SP into Ion Thruster, Quicksilver Sword and Multi-Lateral.
For the second job, why isn’t xenon booster added?
Hi Deity, I have added 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Job Skill Descriptions along with some Hyper Skills 😉
Thanks Anna for catching my mistake! I have corrected the description 🙂
Promessa Assault
Summon the Promessa to return to base.
Skill Build: Everything maxed.
Explanation: These are Kaiser’s innate abilities. No SP required.
((I think you meant Xenon ^^;))
Please hurry and get more skill descriptions. I really like this class.
