Lethe is available from November 11th 2026 in GMS as part of the new winter update: V272 Maplayer One.

Lethe Overview

Lethe is a Magician Class that uses summons to attack monsters, where your job is to manage them with buffs, skill duration and using cooldown attack skills to train. Lethe actually requires very little input when training; a single skill is used to keep the Summons active, allowing you to freely jump around maps or just sit still if you prefer.

By fourth job, you'll have three summons and can play the class very passively. However, once you reach fifth job, you'll either need a lot more damage to maintain the passiveness, or start utilising your cooldown attack skills to keep up your damage dealing.

You can skip the beginning stage of Lethe tutorial and go straight to Level 30.

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

• Weapon: Dominium
• Secondary: Quill
• Job: Lethe
• Class: Magician
• Shared Cash Shop Inventory: 
• Legion Block: All Stats (10/20/30/40/50), MAX HP (500,1000,1500,2000,2500)
• Link Skill: Covenant (Damage While a Summon is Active: +12%)
• Primary Stat: INT
• Inner Ability: % chance to bypass cooldowns

Lethe First Job Skill Build

You can max all of your skills in first job. Follow this build:

• Beckon: Fel (+1), Teleport (+2)
• Teleport (MAX)
• Celerity (+1)
• Surfeit (MAX)
• Beckon: Fel (MAX)
• Ascend (MAX)
• Celerity (MAX)
• Resilience (MAX)

Lethe attacks enemies by first summoning Fel using the skill Beckon: Fel. It will spawn 3 Imps that attack enemies near you, but the duration only lasts 10 seconds.

You can then keep the duration up for an infinite amount of time by using the skill Surfeit. This adds +5 seconds each time you use the skill, as long as some of the Imps are near you.

You should add at least one point into Celerity early on for that Attack Speed boost, and then max Teleport should be priority to help you get around maps early on.

Ascend is a simple up-jump thrust (no double jump skill here) so you can leave that until later on in the skill build.

Resilience provides a passive damage reduction of -85% at max level. Nice.

Skill Description & Overview

Lethe Second Job Skill Build

You can max all of your skills in second job. Follow this build:

• Beckon: Vargr (+1), Spur (+1), Arcane Dominion (+1)
• Arcane Dominion (MAX)
• Fealty (MAX)
• Poise (MAX)
• Resolution (MAX)
• Physical Training (MAX)
• Spur (MAX)
• Beckon: Vargr (MAX)
• Halt (MAX)

For second job, Lethe get's a new summon called Beckon: Vargr. These wolves will attack on the platform you're currently at and benefit also from using Surfeit to increase their duration.

Ideally, you should just spam Surfeit until you hit max duration (60 seconds) then start using the new skill Spur, which increases attack speed of your summons.

Max out Arcane Dominion early for that Attack Speed buff, and the rest of the skills just increase your damage passively.

Fealty, Poise, Resolution and Physical Training all boost your damage, so you can max them in any order (though Fealty is probably the best!)

Halt will stop your attacks.

Skill Description & Overview

Lethe Third Job Skill Build

You can max all of your skills in third job. Follow this build:

• Beckon: Dread Knight (+1), Assize (+1)
• Lordly Wisdom (MAX)
• Assize (MAX)
• Beckon: Dread Knight (MAX)
• Arcane Tribute (MAX)
• Sovereign Step (MAX)
• Edict: Fel Storm (MAX)
• Sally (MAX)
• Fortify (MAX)
• Levitate (MAX)
• Proscribe (MAX)

A new summon appears with Beckon: Dread Knight and your Beckon: Fel now becomes passive with the new skill Assize.

You can now basically sit in a map and spam between Spur and Surfeit and your summons will attack everything in range, especially useful on flat maps between the levels 70~100.

Fel Storm automatically triggers once your Imps have attacked 30 times (you can see the countdown in the buff icon).

Sally is a toggle skill that turns your summons to attack map wide, rather than just enemies near you.

Sovereign Step adds diagonal teleportation and Levitate allows you to hover in mid-air, which is useful for dodging some bossing attacks.

Lordly Wisdom is your only passive damage increase skill, so max this early on. Arcane Tribute increases your Knockback Resistance and recovers some MP.

Fortify helps increase your status resistance.

Proscribe is more useful during bossing when you want to prioritise a single target enemy.

Skill Description & Overview

Lethe Fourth Job Skill Build

You can max all of your skills in fourth job. Follow this build:

• Beckon: Dread Knight II (+1), Majeure (+1), Ratify (+1)
• Ratify (MAX)
• Royal Prerogative (MAX)
• Sovereign Supremacy (MAX)
• Majeure (MAX)
• Beckon: Dread Knight II (MAX)
• Edict: Rampage (MAX)
• Warlord of Tynerum (MAX)
• Fidelity (MAX)
• Edict: Dread Advance (MAX)
• Demon's Will (MAX)

In fourth job, Lethe now gets an upgraded Dread Knight II summon and the Majeure skill combines the Spur and Surfeit skills into one, meaning you now only have to press Spur skill to keep your summons active. It also increases their summon duration to 180 seconds!

You get several passive damage skills in fourth job, with Ratify, Royal Prerogative, Sovereign Supremacy and Warlord of Tynerum all giving huge boosts to your Combat Power.

You have two new cooldown skills called Edict: Dread Advance and Edict: Rampage. Both skills can have their cooldown cut short with the new Fidelity skill.

Also, both Fidelity and Edict: Rampage add passive damage too.

Skill Description & Overview

Lethe Hyper Skill Build

Hyper skills are available at level 140. You get Hyper Skill Points as you level towards 200, but not enough to max all the skills, so choose wisely. These skills mostly help increase the damage of your current skills.

• Beckon: Vargr - Reinforce
• Beckon: Dread Knight - Reinforce
• Edict - Guardbreak
• Edict - Reinforce
• Edict - Boss Rush
• Tyneran Gift
• Nullification

Lethe Fifth Job Skill Build

Upon reaching level 200, you will now have access to the V Matrix, which acts as your new fifth job skills. Each class gets their own skills to use, along with boosting nodes to increase the damage of existing skills. To obtain new skills, you open up items called Nodestones, which drop from every mob in Arcane River. You have limited number of slots in your V Matrix, so you want to obtain perfect nodes for maximize your character's damage.

V Matrix was revamped with patch V269 to make everything more simple; you now spend V Points to upgrade your skills. V Points are obtained from opening Nodestones.
