Erel Light is available from June 17th 2026 in GMS as part of the new summer update: Ride The Lightning (V269).

Erel Light Overview

Erel Light is the second Shine class added to MapleStory GMS (the first being Sia Astelle). Using a brand new weapon called the Gram, Erel Light use light-blue aesthetic skill animations with modern MapleStory blockbuster effects.

There is a story for the new Erel Light class, but you can skip it and get straight into the action and begin at Level 30.

Erel is rather simple class to play, with similar mechanics throughout the first four jobs. You use the same main attacking skill throughout, but it gets upgraded with each job advancement to hit more enemies and deal hefty damage. Erel gets a huge 10-second invincibility skill, allowing you to dodge 1-hit KO attacks from End-Game bosses with ease.

Erel does use the Erda Link system for 6th job, which is a different take on the Hexa System you might be used to.

Check out the New MapleStory Class Preparation Guide for getting ready to play your new Erel Light character.
