Hyper Stats

In MapleStory, achieving 100% Critical Rate is crucial for maximizing damage efficiency, which is why many players consider it essential. When a critical attack procs, it significantly increases your damage, making it vital to minimize non-critical hits and consistently deal high damage.

If your Critical Rate is insufficient, you should increase it through your Hyper Stats.

⭐Normal Monsters Damage ⭐Damage ⭐Critical Damage ⭐Critical Rate ⭐Bonus EXP
⭐Boss Damage ⭐DEF Ignored ⭐ATT & Magic ATT ⭐Critical Rate

Potential

The Potential system in MapleStory Universe is a critical part of item enhancement, much like in the original MapleStory. It allows players to add and customize powerful bonus stats on their equipment. This system is crucial for maximizing your character’s combat power, especially as you progress through the game.

For weapons (Primary and Secondary), prioritize Boss Damage % or Attack Power % For your Emblem, focus on Ignore Defense % or Attack Power % As for Armor and Accessories, aim for LUK %
