      • If you are already 1 HP, the next attack will kill you
      • During this state, players will lose all defenses, avoidability, and benefits of damage mitigation skills (eg. achilles, elemental resistance, etc)
      • Map damage (such as lava, rocks etc) remains the same, they will not set your HP to 1.
      • Note: Stance will continue to work during the Active Berserk state

    • Active Berserk duration is 30 seconds, with a cooldown of 60 seconds
    [​IMG] Berserk - Damage calculation is now based on a formula with the damage scaling off the player's HP, no matter the HP value (Valentine 2023) [V1 in Anniversary 2022]
    • Max damage at 120% whenever under 10% HP
    • 100% damage at 50% HP
    • No damage at above 95% HP
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    - Berserk damage is calculated entirely through a formula in real time with respect to the current HP of the character
    - At above 50% HP, this will give lesser than 100% damage to Drks
    - At below 50% HP, this will give higher than 100% damage to Drks

    [​IMG] - Magician
    [​IMG] Element Amplification - Increased Magic Attack from 135% to 140%* (Summer 2018)
    [​IMG] Spell Booster - Casting speed decreased from 1500ms to 900ms (Anniversary 2022)

    [​IMG] Big Bang - Visuals adjusted to promote better visibility (Anniversary 2022)

    * Our goal with the mage buffs is to buff the non-AoE skills. Since Element Amplification buffs all skills, Blizzard and Meteor have had their stats slightly lowered to compensate for the buff. After calculation, there should still be a small but slight buff.

    Skills that affect monsters' drop rates

    In MapleLegends, killing monsters with certain skills affects their drop rate differently. Here is a list of the specific alterations.

    Notes:
    • Drop rate of quest items, of boss monsters, and of event drops is not influenced by any of the changes listed below.
    • Event drops follow a completely different formula.
      • [​IMG] Cleric's Heal is the only skill that has been altered to reduce the event drops drop rate, if used to deal the fatal blow to monsters.


    Summon skills

    [​IMG] Elquines
    [​IMG] Ifrit
    [​IMG] Summon Dragon
    [​IMG] Bahamut
    [​IMG] Silver Hawk
    [​IMG] Golden Eagle
    [​IMG] Phoenix
    [​IMG] Frostprey
    [​IMG] Octopus
    [​IMG] Gaviota
    [​IMG] Wrath of the Octopi

    Dealing the fatal blow to a monster with a Summon skill will cause the drop rate of that monster to be greatly reduced.



    Ultimate abilities

    [​IMG] Dragon Roar
    [​IMG] Meteor Shower
    [​IMG] Blizzard
    [​IMG] Genesis

    Dealing the fatal blow to a monster with Dragon Roar or with a Mage ultimate skill will cause the drop rate of that monster to be reduced.


    [​IMG] Aerial Strike
    Dealing the fatal blow to a monster with Aerial Strike will cause the drop rate of that monster to be slightly reduced.
