Best Magnificent Soul Tier List – Maplestory

If you’ve been defeating bosses in Maplestory, you’ll notice something called Soul Shards that drop. These Soul Shards are used to create a Boss Soul which can give you extra stats and even fight by your side. I play in Reboot so this tier list will focus mainly on that.

The best Magnificent Souls are Cygnus, Crimson Queen, Damien, Magnus, Vellum, Lucid, Lotus, Darknell, Verus Hilla, Will, Kalos, and Kaling.

Tier List Explained

Boss Souls have different types like Beefy, Fortuitous, Magnificent, and more, with Magnificent being the best.

The reason these Boss Souls are ranked how they are, is because of the stats that can be applied. For example, a Magnificent Magnus Soul can get Weapon Attack +3%, while a Magnificent Balrog Soul gets Weapon Attack +5. This is a huge difference when you’re looking to get the most stats and damage.

Boss Souls tier S and below should be used when you know you’re going to upgrade your weapon or on a mule. For example if you have an Absolab weapon you don’t want to use any SS tier souls because you should save those for your Arcane or Genesis weapon. S tier souls are also great for boss mules so that you can clear faster with that extra damage.

When it comes to what stat you want for your Weapon Soul, you’ll generally want Weapon Attack or Boss Damage. This shouldn’t change unless your class needs something else like Critical Rate or Ignore Enemy Defense (IED).
