Aran/Skills

Description

The majority of Aran's attacks are activated through key commands.

Aran's way of fighting revolves around her Combo System, which increases based on how many consecutive hits the player has dealt to monsters and applies it to Aran's skills. Many skills focus on creating long combos and utilizing the combos to use special abilities. The combo will decrease by a certain amount over time. There are also skills that will increase the combo count so that some abilities can be used instantaneously. Certain skills can be used either with a key command, or activated by pressing the skill key, the latter of which deals more damage.

Heroes of Maple

As of the Heroes of Maple update, Aran's playstyle is changed significantly. While she still uses a Combo System, the Combos are not used to enhance certain attacks or use special abilities. Instead, when Aran reaches 1000 Combos, she will enter Adrenaline Rush, which grants a huge damage boost, an increase in attack count, and extra damage for select skills.

In 4th job, two new attacks are gained while in Adrenaline Boost, one of which deals continuous damage and pulls enemies to you, and the other of which can be held down and released to deal 1500% damage 15 times on a single enemy.
