Every once in a while MapleStory will come out with events that allow you to create a Mega and Tera Burning character. This is a great opportunity to train weaker classes that have great link/legion skills.
The best characters to Tera burn are, Beast Tamer, Mercedes, Evan, and Phantom. The Best characters to Mega burn are Kinesis, Shade, and Cadena.
What Is A Mega Burning Character?
A Mega burning character will gain an additional two levels everytime that character levels up all the way till Lvl. 150. If you want to get maximum value, start your mega burning once your character hits Lvl. 11. That way you reach Lvl. 149 and the mega burning will still be in effect and take you to Lvl. 152 after you level up.
What level you should be to reach Lvl. 152 after starting the Mega Burning Effect.
Honestly, unless you really hate the class you’re training, there is no need to start at anything besides Lvl. 11. But just in case there’s the chart.
What Is A Tera Burning Character?
A Tera burning character will gain two additional levels everytime that character levels up all the way till Lvl. 200. Unfortunately you cannot gain extra levels past 200 like you can with the Mega burning character.
When To Tera Burn Vs. Mega Burn A Character
The best way to determine which characters to Tera or Mega burn comes down to their Link Skill Effect and their Legion Effects. For example classes that have a good Lvl. 3 link skill like Mercedes would be much better to Tera burn as opposed to something like Hayato. A class like Hayato would do much better with a Mega burning effect. (Best Links Skills for Bossing and Training Guide) If a character does not have a Lvl. 3 link skill it is not advised to Tera burn UNLESS you are maining that class or have nothing else to Tera Burn.
If you can’t decide which Lvl. 3 link skills you want, you should move on to looking at the Legion Effects of each of those choices. The most common choices for Lvl. 3 links are, Mercedes, Evan, Phantom, Aran, and Luminous. From these options the best choice would depend on if you need certain things like Meso Obtained, Flat Stat, or HP/MP restoring.
When it comes to Mega burning, honestly, anyone will do since it isn’t too hard to get to Lvl. 150. The real challenge comes around Lvl. 170.
Best Characters To Tera Burn for Link Skill
The best links to get would be Mercedes (+20% Bonus EXP), Evan (+70% Rune Duration), Phantom (+20% Crit Rate), Luminous (+20% IED), and Beast Tamer (+10% Crit, +10% Boss Dmg, +5% HP/MP). These classes are hard to train whether it’s bad mobbing, nerfs, or bad mobility but give some of the best effects. These would be your best bet to Tera burn so you don’t have to hate yourself too much while training them.
If you’re looking to Tera Burn classes besides the ones mentioned above, you’ll have to go with,
- Angelic Buster (+60% Dmg for 10 seconds)
- Aran (Combo Orbs 900%)
- Ark (Up to +16% Dmg increase while attacking)
- Demon Avenger (+15% Bonus Dmg)
- Demon Slayer (+20% Bonus Boss Dmg)
- Kaiser (+20% HP)
Best Characters To Tera Burn for Legion Effect
The best characters to Tera Burn when it comes to Legion Effect are, Jett (+5% Crit Dmg), Mechanic (+20% Buff Duration), Shade (+5% Crit Dmg), and Blaster (+5% IED). These characters are somewhat tough to level and have amazing Legion Effects like + Crit Dmg%.
Other classes besides the ones mentioned above are,
- Corsair (+10% Summon Duration)
- Hayato (+5% Crit Dmg)
- Marksman (+4% Crit Rate)
- Night Lord (+4% Crit Rate)

If you were able to Tera Burn every character in MapleStory what would you do first? This is a list based on getting all of your characters to Lvl. 200 as quickly as possible.

Notes
- Explorer Mage and Thief Link skills have amazing synergy so get them together.
- For the characters that are grouped just make 1 or 2 depending on what flat stat you need.
- Zero is not in reboot but for non-reboot would be around the top 4 since it gives Bonus EXP.
- Some of these may be surprising since they have useless links like Shade, but their legion effect is good enough to place them higher.
