The 2nd of Boss Guides during the CROWN update season! This time I am going over what will probably be the most popular one, Malefic Star! This boss guide is definitely presented in a way that I never really had to with any other boss, and you can check it out to see what I mean. Boss patterns are fairly short, so I spend a ton of time talking about Boss and Gauge Mechanics as well as a few strategies.
The next boss guide might be Kaling, but I am going to hold off working on that until the test server for Global MapleStory. If the Kaling changes are in the test server then I will work on it right away.
And then finally, sometime mid-late July, the Jupiter guide will be released! Anyone who has played the game long enough to reach 295 can stay tuned for that.
