The Legendary Hero

Summary And Story

During the age when the Black Mage ruled Maple World, five heroes protected its citizens from his villainy. They fought the Black Mage with their unique powers, but it was impossible to protect the world and the people. Rather than see their people get hurt, the heroes sent them away to the safety of Victoria Island. Then, they began their final battle with the Mage. When the dust finally cleared, the heroes had disappeared, leading everyone to believe they had died. Now, centuries after, Aran, one of the five heroes who fought the Black Mage, rises again!

"I must go. The Black Magician must be stopped!"

Pros

• Arans are strongest non-ranged class in game
• Combo Barrier reduces enemy damage and Combo Drain heals you giving good survivability
• Smart Knockback affects your party and Knockbacking on boss monsters make them attack less
• Faster attack speeds then other polearm users because of Polearm Booster (+3 attack speed on Polearm)
• Have the farthest reaching melee moves in game
• Dispels are nearly useless due to lack of active buffs
• The only class that can freeze boss monsters
• Extremely good mobbing abilities straight from the start
• Arans can knockback almost every monster in game

Cons

• Requires memorization of certain key sequences and near-constant pushing of the attack button
• Many quests are required to be completed for skills on all job advancements
• Have accuracy problems like other warrior-type classes
• Lower HP than normal warrior-type classes
• Somewhat hard class to master, not recommended as your very first character
• Keeping your combo up can be a hassle
• Very high MP usage

Stat Distribution

The stat distribution is the exact same as a Spearman's, who is a "Polearm and Spear user."
You get 5 AP everytime you level up.
The main stats for an Aran are DEX (which increases your accuracy) and STR (which increases your weapon attack).
NEVER touch LUK, HP, MP, or INT, these four stats should never be given AP, even until level 200!

Levels 1-10

Right from the beginning you should start to make sure your DEX is always 2 times your level, and the rest of your AP should go directly into STR. It really doesn't matter in these levels how you distribute your ability points (as long as your DEX is 20 by level 10). Here are two ways of following this build so you don't get off track.

• STR: +5 for three levels
  
• DEX: +5 for two levels
  

(This way you get the maximum amount of STR early every 5 levels)

Or,

• STR +3 on each level
  
• DEX +2 on each level
  

(I recommend this method because it is easier to keep track of)

Reference:
Level 2: XX Dex, Rest in STR
Level 4: XX DEX, Rest in STR
Level 6: XX DEX, Rest in STR
Level 8: XX DEX, Rest in STR
Level 10: 2X DEX, Rest in STR

Levels 10-40

At these levels use the same AP distribution you did during your time leveling from 1 to 10. Just make sure to keep your DEX at 2 times your level until level 50 or so, and make sure the rest of your AP is going directly into STR.

• STR: +5 for three levels
  
• DEX: +5 for two levels
  

(This way you get the maximum amount of STR early every 5 levels)

Or,

• STR +3 on each level
  
• DEX +2 on each level
  

(I recommend this method because it is easier to keep track of)

Reference:
Level 10: 2X Dex, Rest in STR
Level 15: 30 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 30: 60 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 35: 70 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 40: 80 DEX, Rest in STR

Levels 41-69

Up to level 40 your DEX should have been twice your level, so at level 40 you had 80 DEX. But from level 41 onwards you should now only have 40+your level, and the rest of your AP should be going into STR. Most Aran and their Dragon Knight cousins choose to cap their DEX at level 60. "Capping" is when you completely stop adding points into DEX and apply every ability point into STR, but by doing this, Aran and Spearman_Class_Spearmen alike must gain accuracy through buffs, potions, etc. because they receive slightly higher damage output thanks to the excess STR.

• STR: +5 for four levels
  
• DEX: +5 for only one level
  

(This way you get maximum STR early every 5 levels)

Or,

• STR: +4 on each level
  
• DEX: +1 on each level
  

(I recommend this method because it is easier to keep track of)

Reference:
Level 41: 81 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 50: 90 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 55: 95 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 60: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 70: 100 DEX, Rest in STR

Levels 70-120

Once you reach level 70 you no longer will be adding AP in to any stat other then STR as you hit your "cap" at level 60. Later in these levels is where you should also begin to search and use DEX increasing items and armor.

• STR: +5 every level
  

Reference:
Level 80: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 90: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 100: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 110: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 120: 100 DEX, Rest in STR

Levels 121-200

Congratulations on reaching the final job advancement! In this range of levels a small percentage of non-highly-funded Aran and Dark Knights choose to raise their DEX because they miss on end game bosses. This is usually because of a lack of end game DEX scrolled armor that they can't afford. If you are in that percentage follow this build, but other than that just continue to add every ability point into STR.

• STR: +5 for nine levels
  
• DEX: +5 for one level
  

Reference:
Level 120: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 140: 110 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 160: 120 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 180: 130 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 200: 140 DEX, Rest in STR

Or,

• STR: +5 every level
  

Reference:
Level 130: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 145: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 160: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 185: 100 DEX, Rest in STR
Level 200: 100 DEX, Rest in STR

Skills

The Aran are a unique class, taking inspiration from the Spearman, Dragon Knight, Dark Knight, Crusader, Hero, White Knight, and Paladin. The Aran use a few ice-based attacks and also have a considerable amount of story behind them to support there skill choices.
Bolded Skill Level is the mastery level.
Bolded Skill in SP build means the skill should now be maxed.

Three Snails SP Build

Level 1 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 2 - +1 Recovery (1)

Level 3 - +1 Recovery (2)

Level 4 - +1 Recovery (MAX)

Level 5 - +1 Three Snails (1)

Level 6 - +1 Three Snails (2)

Level 7 - +1 Three Snails (MAX)

Level 8 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 9 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 10 - You do not get a point on this level.

End Result

Three Snails-MAXED
Agile Body-0
Recovery-MAXED

What's the point in maxing Three Snails? Three Snails gives a ranged attack which Aran lack until the 2nd Job Advancement, it can come in handy for mobbing.
So why no Agile Body? Combat Step has the ability to cover entire maps in seconds when used on a ledge (still not proven to be a glitch or not), and provides a much lower but still decent boost when not on ledges.

Agile Body SP Build File:Nimblefeet.gif

Level 1 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 2 - +1 Recovery (1)

Level 3 - +1 Recovery (2)

Level 4 - +1 Recovery (MAX)

Level 5 - +1 Agile Body (1)

Level 6 - +1 Agile Body (2)

Level 7 - +1 Agile Body (MAX)

Level 8 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 9 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 10 - You do not get a point on this level.

End Result

Three Snails-0
Agile Body-MAXED
Recovery-MAXED

What's the point in maxing Agile Body? Agile Body gives a pretty decent boost on speed no matter the type of terrain, Combat Step does have the ability to cover maps but it loses on comparison to Agile Body on flat land.
So why no Three Snails? It is a weak attack doing only 40 damage when maxed. It has a ranged attack which can be handy, but Aran also have the longest reach out of all the Melee Classes in game.

Level 1 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 2 - +1 Three Snails (1)

Level 3 - +1 Three Snails (2)

Level 4 - +1 Three Snails (MAX)

Level 5 - +1 Agile Body (1)

Level 6 - +1 Agile Body (2)

Level 7 - +1 Agile Body (MAX)

Level 8 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 9 - You do not get a point on this level.

Level 10 - You do not get a point on this level.

End Result

Three Snails-MAXED
Agile Body-MAXED
Recovery-0

What's the point in maxing Agile Body? Agile Body gives a pretty decent boost on speed no matter the type of terrain, Combat Step does have the ability to cover maps but it loses on comparison to Agile Body on flat land.
And what about Three Snails? Three Snails gives a ranged attack which Aran lack until the 2nd Job Advancement, it can come in handy for mobbing.
So why no Recovery? It is quite useful in the first couple levels in the life of an Aran, but later it is next to useless seeing as you will have a high amount of HP and will be using potions to recover.

Level 28 - +2 Polearm Booster (16); +1 Combat Step (13)

Level 29 - +2 Polearm Booster (18); +1 Combat Step (14)

Level 30 - +2 Polearm Booster (MAXED); +1 Combat Step (MAXED)

End Result

Double Swing-MAXED
Combo Ability-6
Polearm Booster-MAXED
Combat Step-MAXED

Why 6 on Combo Ability if it always gives Weapon Attack +1, and Weapon/Magic Defense +5? It continues to stack that amount until maxed when it can stack up to 10 times (10 Weapon Attack and 50 Weapon/Magic Defense with 100 combo count or more). Why max Polearm Booster and Combat Step? The more skill points put into Combat Step the further you will travel on any type of terrain. Polearm Booster last for around 3 minutes and only cost 10 MP and HP which can speed up your training.

Level 23 - +3 Combat Step (9)

Level 24 - +3 Combat Step (12)

Level 26 - +3 Polearm Booster (4)

Level 27 - +3 Polearm Booster (7)

Level 28 - +3 Polearm Booster (10)

Level 29 - +3 Polearm Booster (13)

Level 30 - +3 Polearm Booster (16)

End Result

Double Swing-MAXED
Combo Ability-MAXED
Polearm Booster-16
Combat Step-MAXED

Why only 16 on Polearm Booster? Polearm Booster grants +3 attack speed at level 15 which is the same as it would be at level 20, the only difference is that it would last longer and cost less MP and HP at level 20. Why max Combo Ability if it always gives Weapon Attack +1, and Weapon/Magic Defense +5? It continues to stack that amount until maxed when it can stack up to 10 times (10 Weapon Attack and 50 Weapon/Magic Defense with 100 combo count or more).

Level 29 - +3 Combat Step (8)

Level 30 - +3 Combat Step (11)

End Result

Double Swing-MAXED
Combo Ability-MAXED
Polearm Booster-MAXED
Combat Step-11

Why only 11 on Combat Step? Combat Step's ability (or glitch) to go long distances when used on a ledge is available even when it has 1 skill point.
Why max Combo Ability if it always gives Weapon Attack +1, and Weapon/Magic Defense +5? It continues to stack that amount until maxed when it can stack up to 10 times (10 Weapon Attack and 50 Weapon/Magic Defense with 100 combo count or more).

Level 70 - +3 Body Pressure (7)

End Result

Triple Swing-MAXED
Polearm Mastery-MAXED
Body Pressure-7
Combo Drain-MAXED
Combo Smash-MAXED
Final Charge-MAXED

Why only 7 on Body Pressure? Though Body Pressure can help push off close enemies it is a skill that requires you to take damage to work, even when mastered it only works 40% of the time and sadly does only normal attack damage (which is 100%).
Why does it say +3 Combo Ability or +3 Polearm Booster or +3 Combat Step at levels 67 and 68? All the 1st Job Advancement SP builds have 1 skill that is 4 skill points away from being maxed, since Body Pressure does not need to be maxed it can be left at 7 and put into the skill that was not maxed in the 1st Job Advancement.
Why do I save SP at level 44 and 50 to 53? Polearm Mastery, Combo Drain, Combo Smash, and Final Charge are not given to you upon reaching 2nd job advancement, Polearm Mastery unlocks at level 31, Combo Drain at 37, Combo Smash at 45, and Final Charge at 54.

Final Charge-MAXED

Why only 7 on Combo Drain? Combo Drain is esstianly a healing ability, but its true purpose is to save money by not having to buy as many HP potions, if your Aran is well funded this ability is next to pointless and thus, does not need to be maxed.
Why does it say +3 Combo Ability or +3 Polearm Booster or +3 Combat Step at levels 67 and 68? All the 1st Job Advancement SP builds have 1 skill that is 4 skill points away from being maxed, since Body Pressure does not need to be maxed it can be left at 7 and put into the skill that was not maxed in the 1st Job Advancement.
Why do I save SP at level 44 and 50 to 53? Polearm Mastery, Combo Drain, Combo Smash, and Final Charge are not given to you upon reaching 2nd job advancement, Polearm Mastery unlocks at level 31, Combo Drain at 37, Combo Smash at 45, and Final Charge at 54.

Level 66 - +3 Polearm Mastery (19)

Level 67 - +1 Polearm Mastery (MAXED); +2 Combo Ability (8) or +2 Polearm Booster (18) or +2 Combat Step (13)

Level 68 - +2 Combo Ability (MAXED) or +2 Polearm Booster (MAXED) or +2 Combat Step (MAXED); +1 Combo Smash (1)

Level 69 - +1 Combo Smash (4)

Level 70 - +1 Combo Smash (7)

End Result

Triple Swing-MAXED
Polearm Mastery-MAXED
Body Pressure-MAXED
Combo Drain-MAXED
Combo Smash-7
Final Charge-MAXED

Why only 7 on Combo Smash? Combo Smash is an incredibly powerful skill, but it is beaten by Combo Peril for those patient enough to make it to the 3rd Job Advancement, this makes Combo Smash a waste of skill points in the 2nd Job Advancement.
Why does it say +3 Combo Ability or +3 Polearm Booster or +3 Combat Step at levels 67 and 68? All the 1st Job Advancement SP builds have 1 skill that is 4 skill points away from being maxed, since Body Pressure does not need to be maxed it can be left at 7 and put into the skill that was not maxed in the 1st Job Advancement.
Why do I save SP at levels 50 to 53? Polearm Mastery, Combo Drain, Combo Smash, and Final Charge are not given to you upon reaching 2nd job advancement, Polearm Mastery unlocks at level 31, Combo Drain at 37, Combo Smash at 45, and Final Charge at 54.

Level 70 - +3 Final Charge (17)

End Result

Triple Swing-MAXED
Polearm Mastery-MAXED
Body Pressure-MAXED
Combo Drain-MAXED
Combo Smash-MAXED
Final Charge-17

Why only 17 on Final Charge? Final Charge when mastered uses 20 MP and only does 90% damage. The only point in putting skills points into is because when you use Triple Swing you move closer to the target, Final Charge pushes the monster(s) back. This prevents the taking of damage and allows better positioning.
Why does it say +3 Combo Ability or +3 Polearm Booster or +3 Combat Step at levels 64-65? All the 1st Job Advancement SP builds have 1 skill that is 4 skill points away from being maxed, since Final Charge does not need to be maxed it can be left at 17 and put into the skill that was not maxed in the 1st Job Advancement.
Why do I need to max out Combo Smash before I max out Combo Drain? Combo Smash when maxed does an amazing 700% hit to 10 monsters, this can speed up training by a huge amount. Combo Drain is essentially a money saving ability in how it can save you a few HP potions.
