Battle-ready Maplers can now jump into Nexon America's MapleStory to experience the newly overhauled Warrior, Magician, Bowman, and Legends characters, and test their skills in the "Grand Battle" arena, thanks to the recently launched Champions update.
The Champions update's reveals powerfully revamped characters. Players who enjoy playing as a Warrior will find that the Warrior's mobility and overall attack has been improved. The Magician now has increased damage and range, along with lower cool times for certain skills. Those who prefer ranged attacks as a Bowman will now enjoy an increased damage output and no longer have to summon Frostprey and Phoenix, now passive buffs. Lastly, Canoneer, Mercedes, and Demon Slayer, who are all Legends characters, are stronger and deal higher damage against their opponents.
In addition to character improvements, the Champions update has introduced a new mode of player-versus-player (PvP) called, "Grand Battle. "Grand Battle is open to characters level 70 and higher, from 1pm -1am PT daily. PvP mode is now easier, as players are automatically matched based on their character’s level and kill ratio in PvP. All who participate in Grand Battle will receive Gallant Emblems, which can be collected and exchanged for equipment. Participating players will also receive an EXP bonus for their efforts.
