Adele Class Guide and Skill Build – MapleStory Reboot

Adele, an honorable knight of Grandis’ High Flora race, is a new warrior class that you can create in MapleStory who uses stunning Aetherial Swords.

Adele is a powerful STR stat based Hero of the Flora race. She uses Bladecasters as her Primary weapon and Bladebinder as her secondary. Adele has decent Mobbing and amazing Bossing.

What To Know Before You Make An Adele

So, you want to make an Adele? That’s a very good idea since they are an amazing class visually and mechanically to use. In KMS, when Adele was released, she was top of the DPM charts and even after the balance changes she was top tier. 

The best way to do the most DPS and have full map control is to keep your flying swords up and constantly refill your Aether bar. She has great mobbing especially for a warrior class and excels in small and condensed maps. Adele really excels when it comes to bossing but it takes some learning to perfect.

One of Adele’s skills allows her to recover HP and MP every couple seconds which can save you a lot of potions.

Please note that Story Tutorial is required and not skippable for advancements and for getting your beginner skill, Unlocking Greatness, to max level 10 (at character lvl 200). Try to follow along with the story as it is a good one and because of the fact that you’ll need to answer some stuff when it comes to 5th job. 

If you’re making an Adele during the Rise event, make sure to get to level 200 for the extra rewards.

Adele Primary and Secondary Weapons

Adele comes with new weapons and they are called Bladecaster and Bladebinder. Primary and Secondary respectively. 

The Primary, Bladecaster, looks like a glove and pretty much won’t be seen as it acts like a transparent weapon. 

The secondary, Bladebinder, looks like a bracelet.

Adele Shared Cash Shop

When it comes to the Cash Shop, the characters that are of the same Race can share NX Items and Cash Shop Items with each other.

Adele is a part of the Flora Race and shares her Cash Shop with :

• Ark
• Illium

Adele Link Skill

Adele’s Link Skill is called Noble Fire which is considered one of the best when bossing with a party. If you’re Bossing by yourself, you’ll still gain a 5% increase.

Noble Fire

When you need to protect someone from powerful opponents, you gain the ability to exert additional strength. (max level: 2) (Link Skill)

• Level 1: When you are in the same map as your party members, gain 1% damage per party member (including yourself), up to a maximum of 4%. If you don’t have a party, you will be treated as a party of 1. Increases your boss damage by 5%.

• Level 2: When you are in the same map as your party members, gain 2% damage per party member (including yourself), up to a maximum of 8%. If you don’t have a party, you will be treated as a party of 1. Increases your boss damage by 5%.

Adele Legion Effect

Adele’s Legion Effect is a flat Strength increase. 

Strength (STR)

Rank B	Rank A	Rank S	Rank SS	Rank SSS
+10	+20	+40	+80	+100

Rank SSS: Level 250

Rank SS: Level 200-249

Rank S: Level 140-199

Rank A: Level 100-139

Rank B: Level 60-99 

Adele Best Inner Ability

When it comes to Adele, the best lines to get are, Boss Damage and Attack/Critical Rate. Boss Damage and Attack is really important when it comes to Adele since she her skills allow for insane single target damage. The 3rd line can be whatever you feel is necessary in the moment whether it is Critical Rate or some Meso/Drop if you need.

Adele V Matrix and Perfect Boost Nodes

When it comes to Adele’s V Matrix the staples to get would be the 5th job skills and Sharp Eyes or Holy Symbol for training/bossing.

Adele only needs 4 slots which means 2 perfect trios. The main Trio that is used most often is Aether Forge, Hunting Decree, and Cleave. These are your main attacking skills that you will be doing everything with.

The second Trio is Magical Dispatch, Reign of Destruction, and Aether Bloom.

Adele Skills ~ 1st to 5th Job

Adele’s Skill Build is easy since you should just max out all skills. But, if you want to know which ones to upgrade first, that will depend on your links and legion. If you’ve got good stat boosts from links, you might want to go with upgrading buffs and stat boosts. If you still need some help, check out my skill build order.

Adele Skill Build

This build focuses on simplicity and getting to a point of killing mobs with 1 hit. This is why I put less importance on Imaple and Resonance Rush. Also, Cleave is the only mobbing skill you’ll need once you get it. So you can get rid of Eviscerate and Skewering after you obtain Cleave.

Adele 5th Job Max Skills

When it comes to 5th Job, you want to make sure to max out your perfect boost nodes. Adele’s perfect boost nodes include:

• Magical Dispatch

• Hunting Decree
• Reign of Destruction
• Aether Bloom

When it comes to other 5th job actives, you’ll want to level up,

Decent Holy Symbol, Decent Sharp Eyes, Decent Speed Infusion, Weapon Aura, Goddess Blessing, Ruin, Infinity Blade, and Legacy Restoration

Since maxing skills for the 5th job are highly dependent on farming nodes, make sure either have a farming character or have drop gear on your Adele.
