MapleStory Shadower Bursting & Skill Rotation Guide - New Age Edition

new age is finally upon us with all classes in the game receiving powerful new origin skills with their six job advancements that both perform a special bind and do massive damage boss monsters beware as getting caught on the receiving end of these powerful new skills will lead to a very quick demise not only did the six job advancement provide these new origin skills but Mastery cores have adjusted fourth job skills into enhanced versions of their previous forms as well with these new powerful skills in our possession we're going to take a look at Shadow's new origin skill have cut as well as how bursting and skill rotations have been adjusted to accommodate both this and the new Mastery core changes to assassinate known as pulverized Stacks hello everyone my name is chisler and welcome back to the channel today we're going to have a look at everything to do with how shadower bursts both big and small have been updated with the new six job advancements in my previous Shadow or bursting and skill rotation guide released after the destiny patch I discussed how shadower is a very versatile class when it comes to damage output and excels great when its cool Downs are managed properly this has not changed since then a shadower is still a powerful DPM class but now with access to a very potent origin burst and Powerful assassinate boosts in the form of pulverized Stacks so without further Ado let's take a look at the new rotations a little further starting with the most potent burst the Full Burst with the origin skill as discussed in the last guide the general rule of thumb for buffing for the Full Burst is to Simply use skills in order from the longest to shortest dur Shadow's new Full Burst is as follows first set down dark flare as this skill is affected by sour a minion duration and technically makes it the longest duration skill the skill helps with mob control in bosses like Veris Hilla and darknell and puts out approximately one trick blades worth of damage over its 60-second duration after this we will use both Maple World goddess's blessing and epic adventure as both of these skills last for 60 seconds next is our first deviation from the destiny guide at this this time always place down smok screen next with six job assassinate is boosted with a stacking mechanic known as pulverize stacks these Stacks do more damage than normal assassinates and are normally given one use of this every 10 seconds passively smoke screen has been given the added functionality of immediately providing three stacks of pulverize uses as well as cutting the next pulverize cool down from 10 seconds to 3 seconds due to this added effect of getting enhanced assassinates continuously for 30 seconds smoke screen has been moved to always be used with a shadow work's Full Burst to take advantage of the other Buffs as well after using smoke screen immediately use Shadow Walker as both Shadow Walker and smokees Screen last for 30 seconds Shadow Walker is typically used after smoke screen since the smokes screen casting animation is very long and the skill has a more potent effect than smokees screen for overall damage from here use the Angelic Buster link skill terms and conditions as well as last resort 2 in that order or Last Resort a new functionality was recently added where if you rightclick the skill in your skill window it will immediately skip stage one last resort and go directly to stage two this is very useful as a skips needing to go through the casting animation twice and I strongly recommend all Shadow to enable this feature glass Resort is always used after terms and conditions as the effects are more potent and we want them active for longer this next step depends on the special rings in your possession for those without special Rings or a continuous ring you can skip this step otherwise a special ring is used here to wrap up your Buffs before laying into the boss for Ring of restraint users try to position yourself behind the boss so you can use trick blade and remain in the ring of restraints area of effect from here you are done buffing up and ready to start using your damaging skills your first active skills are the A1 and/ Shadow formation combo touched on in the previous guide next up is what everyone's been waiting for your origin skill use your origin skill next as the A1 and/ Shadow formation will have activated fatal strike for those who use that special node so we want to get as much of the origin burst off during the Fatal strike proc as possible for those of you who are not aware fatal strike is a special node that provides 100% damage for 2 seconds when a skill that inflicts damage is used most players in GMS will find that this effect can actually last as long as 6 to 7 Seconds depending on server delays SL Shadow formation will be going off while the origin skill animation is playing as well to really get the most out of the Fatal strike proc after the origin skill ends immediately use Sonic blow and trick blade if you can stay within the Ring of restraint effect but hold up the burst isn't over yet when Sonic blow and trick blade are done and weaving has resumed pay attention to the origin bind timer below the boss's HP bar once that timer reaches 90 seconds remaining use your air to bind to bind the boss for another 10 seconds to get additional time for getting some extra damage off the step of using air to bind can be ignored when facing unbindable bosses like Black Mage after P1 and kulling and her perils once this Bine wears off liberated users have one last tool available to them their Genesis ey frame for the last 10 seconds that shadow Walker and smok Screen are available for you can use your eye frame when the bind ends to get even more free damage out if you'd like some players who like to get off a safe partial burst May opt to save this for that stage instead it depends on the nature of the boss fight shown on screen now is the Full Burst with origin performed at speeds you can expect during a boss [Music] fight so that's the Full Burst with the origin skill but I wanted to touch on some extra notes for some things that can be changed up since we are relying on the origin skill for the initial bind it may be difficult to set yourself up behind very mobile bosses if people want to foro the additional damage upt given for using aeronova after the origin B ends in favor of a significantly easier burst setup then the air toova bind can actually be used as the very first step of this process you should be able to position yourself and use all other buffing skills and special Rings within the 10 seconds of the bind before using your origin skill be aware though the eron NOA skill does inflict damage and will proc fatal strike much earlier than your other damaging skills meaning that the proc will be wasted as well at the end of the day I would recommend most players practice this rotation with saving the aeronova bind for after the origin bind ends however this safer play is great for practice in the meantime next up is the Full Burst without the origin skill it is the same as the previously demonstrated rotation however we use our aeronova bind after all Buffs and special ring uses to try to get the most out of the Fatal strike proc as well some players opt for using their ring of restraint after the boss is bound which is a totally fine strategy to guarantee you can trick played within the Ring of restraint effect since shadower is a 3-minute burst rotation class with sub 9C skill cooldowns on most of our skills we are able to get off another strong burst exactly between full bursts called the partial burst to pull this off the skill order is as follows first place your dark flare if it is not down already next use terms and conditions in Last Resort as these are the longest duration skills in the partial burst afterwards if you are ring swapping and have another special ring available use it here it can be seen that this entire time dark site has not been used that's where the new skill mechanics with New Age come into play the next skill is Shadow Veil which will be used to stay in dark site using Shadow Veil will also proc fatal strike so we want to get our damage off immediately afterwards up next use A1 and/ Shadow formation thanks to the additional mechanic of entering dark site with each pulverize use you will automatically be placed in dark site for the next 6 seconds after using A1 or until another pulverize is used Shadow Veil gives you two stacks of pulverize immediately after using it meaning you get a pulverize used to trigger dark site at the start of your burst and another to refresh the 6sec duration after your partial burst is over once A1 and/ Shadow formation have been used immediately use Sonic blow and trick blade once these skills are done continue weaving to use the stored pulverized Stacks which will keep you in dark side until about the same time that shadow Veil ends once Shadow Veil ends and the dark side fades your partial burst is considered complete shown on screen is the partial burst performed at speeds you can expect during a boss fight pay close attention to the dark site durations and pulverized stack counters throughout the [Music] burst final burst for Shadows the off burst does not really exist anymore since we use smoke screen for our Full Burst now that means that we have to rely on Shadow Veil to keep us in dark sight for our partial burst which leaves nothing to keep us in dark sight for what would be our off burst for that reason our offb burst is now extremely simple just use Sonic blow when it's off cool down that's it however that's not all that is to be said for shadow Veil next up we're going to go over the full 3-minute rotation of shadower skills and how additional uses of Shadow Veil for more pulverized stacks and Dark Side Up time can be taken advantage of let's have a look at this new 3-minute rotation and how we can fit in additional uses of Shadow Veil without interfering with our other cooldowns for the first 30 seconds perform your Full Burst with or without origin as demonstrated earlier in this video for demonstration purposes I've taken off my cooldown hat and Mercedes Legion block to show that this can be done with no cooldown reduction at all immediately when Shadow Walker and smoke screen end at the 302 Mark use your first Shadow Veil a bit of extra damage can be put into the rotation if Shadow Veil is used here as it should come off cool down as soon as the partial burst is ready to be performed at the 45 second Mark use Sonic blow as it comes off cool down this will also syn its cool down ready to be used with the partial burst as well at the 602 Mark if available to you look to ring swap between now and the partial burst as epic adventure and maple World goddess's blessing should be expiring at about this time at the 90c Mark form your partial burst as demonstrated earlier in this video You Can Ring swap back to your Full Burst special ring anytime after finishing this partial burst as there are no lingering effects [Music] [Music] at the 135 second Mark use Sonic blow when it comes off cool down it should be ready for use with your next Full [Music] Burst at the 150c Mark use your last Shadow Veil Your Shadow Veil should come off cool down as your Shadow Walker and smoke screen are ending from your next Full Burst [Music] upon hitting the 180 second Mark all of your skills should be off cool down and ready to repeat the cycle I've adjusted the line diagram and spreadsheet from the previous video to summarize the proc process if you want something to study an image format a picture of these is linked in the video description that about covers everything I had in mind for this guide hopefully this video helps you adjust to the new bursting rotation introduced in new age in the previous video I had a segment here where I talked about different ways to burst depending on the boss and the party composition thankfully that no longer applies as every situation should be bursting the exact same way now as always a like And subscribe is always appre appreciate it and I hope you have a wonderful evening and plentiful solar of fragment drops until the next time this has been chisler goodbye and good night
