Angelic Buster Overview
Angelic Buster was originally released in MapleStory GMS patch V126 - Tempest: Angelic Buster as part of the Nova class group, which also includes Kaiser and Cadena. Angelic Buster is known for it's highly flashy skills and aesthetics, being only able to be a female character. Angelic Buster also has one of the best flash jumps in the game, allowing her to travel across maps in an instant.
Angelic Buster's play style is all about charging up your attack skills. When you attack with normal skills there is a chance to get a recharge of one of your skills in the Soul Battery. The skills in your Soul Battery are more powerful and great for mobbing, but when they have not been recharged they become unavailable for use. Each job advancement introduces new charged skills for you to use, slowly increasing the amount of skills you can alternate between. Their mobbing becomes really good once funded, as one-shotting with Soul Seeker active helps a lot.
Bossing with Angelic Buster can be very rewarding. She has great damage and an even better burst skill to help make short work of bosses. In fifth job they get a 10 second i-frame to help dodge 1-hit KO attacks and in second job you get a damage shield that helps decrease damage to you. Angelic Buster has a bossing skill called Trinity, which has a three-hit animation skill. It is a slow attack- but managing to land all 3 hits on a boss does great damage and gives you a buff.
