Aggro

Definition

Aggro is the level of 'hate' that a monster acquires towards a character. The word 'aggro' comes from 'aggravate' which means 'to anger'. There are two types of monsters in MapleStory:

Passive Monsters

These monsters will only attack you if you hit them.

Example: Red Snail

Impassive/Auto-Aggro Monsters

These monsters will automatically attack the player nearest to itself.

Example : Gatekeeper, Nependeath

Skills Involving Aggro

Puppet: Draws all monster's aggro to itself.

Disorder: Makes an aggroed monster become passive for a duration of time.

What Aggro Does

Once a monster becomes aggroed, it will begin following you and/or using its magic attack on you e.g. Lupin

Monsters that can jump/fly may continue trying to follow you over the entire map.
