Maple Story Classes List & Ranking Summaries

Class	Description	Ranking
	Hero is a versatile melee class that has the longest CC skill in the whole game, as well as a kit tailored to killing bosses. It’s one of the best single-target DPS classes and performs well both in PvP and PvE. Its only downside is that before you reach the 4th Job Advancement, it doesn’t have as much single-target DPS as some other classes.	PvE Grind T0.5 PvE Boss T0 PvP Arena T0.5
	Dark Knight is a melee class that specializes in dealing single-target damage with its summon and basic attacks. It’s by far the strongest class for PvP, and it often outperforms opponents with multiple times higher CP scores. Also, it has an invulnerability passive that is extra useful for PvP. Its boss DPS isn’t bad either.	PvE Grind T0.5 PvE Boss T0.5 PvP Arena T0
	Arch Mage (Ice/Lightning) is one of the most well-rounded classes, with excellent mob damage and PvP potential, as well as respectable boss DPS once you’ve reached max level. It’s a jack-of-all-trades and one of the most versatile classes in the MapleStory Idle RPG. However, it’s also immobile and squishy, requiring precise play to maximize its potential.	PvE Grind T0 PvE Boss T0.5 PvP Arena T0
	Arch Mage (Fire/Poison) is similar to the other Arch Mage, with plenty of AoE damage and easy mob clearing. It specializes more in DoT damage and has a higher single-target DPS potential. However, it lacks the CC and burst that the Ice/Lightning has, making it perform quite a bit worse in PvP.	PvE Grind T0 PvE Boss T0 PvP Arena T1
	Bowmaster is one of the classes with the highest single-target DPS in MapleStory Idle RPG, and is one of the best World Boss DPSs there is, especially when maxed out. It’s also decent for PvP, though classes with high mobility can outplay it. The only weakness it has is AoE damage, making its mob-clearing speed underwhelming.	PvE Grind T1 PvE Boss T0 PvP Arena T0.5
	Marksman is the king of AoE among Bowman classes, with very good mob-clearing speed as well as one of the best CC skills in the game. It’s very versatile and performs well across all game content. However, it’s immobile and squishy, making it somewhat easy to burst in PvP.	PvE Grind T0 PvE Boss T0.5 PvP Arena T0.5
	Night Lord is one of the best all-around classes, with decent performance in PvE and excellent performance in PvP. Its Poison is a great source of sustained DPS for bosses, while it also has one of the best single-target burst skills (Quad Star) in the game for PvP. The only downside is that it’s relatively squishy without enough Evasion.	PvE Grind T0.5 PvE Boss T0.5 PvP Arena T0
	Shadower is a melee assassin class that specializes in debuffing enemies and dealing damage. However, damage stats on its skills aren’t impressive compared to those of other classes, making it underperform in most types of content. Still, if you know how to make the most out of its kit, you might be able to top the leaderboards, but it’s difficult.	PvE Grind T1 PvE Boss T1 PvP Arena T0.5
