Mechanic Class Guide
Introduction
Updated for GMS Tempest
Welcome to my comprehensive guide for Mechanic. This guide has everything a Mechanic need to know varying from skill builds to AP distribution to training spots to equipment to medals! We have everything you need to know! If you want to find the skill build for your level, just press on your relative job advancement under the the skill build section in the tables of content. From there just scroll up or down to find your level. Please do not edit without my permission.
Background
Mechanics are the third addition of the Resistance, representing the Pirate branch. They are vigilantes who fight the Black Wings, a criminal organization threatening to destroy Maple World. They come from a new area known as Edelstein.
Game Play
The Mechanic is similar to a gunslinger. They use guns, but they are always mounted on their robot. The robot gives them medium mobility, but they have a dash skill which can make them move quickly. Their robot can also summon minion robots. The robot is basically a tank.Mechanics uses Guns as their main weapon of choice, but they do not use the guns directly. Instead, they are tools used for your mech suit, which you gain as you advance as a Mechanic.
You start at Eldenstein, at level 1. You are to complete a series of quests to level up and advance. At level 10, players have the opportunity to become a Mechanic. They must speak to Headmaster Ferdi in Edelstein. He will give the player a letter, which will teleport you to the Underground Base when used. Afterwards, just speak to Checky and he will advance you to a Mechanic.
Ap Distribution
The main stat that you will be assigning your points to is Dexerity. Upon the release of the Tempest update, all secondary stats are now rendered useless. Just pump your AP points into DEX.
Recent Updates Changes
There was an update in GMS known as GMS Rise Against.

Level 28: +3 ME - 07 Drillhands (14)
Level 29: +3 ME - 07 Drillhands (17)
Level 30: +3 ME - 07 Drillhands (MAX)
Summary:
Mech: Prototype: MAX
Flamelauncher: MAX
Gatling Shot: MAX
Me - 07 Drillhands:MAX
Reasoning: You want to get the highest increase from Prototype as soon as possible. Also, you want a good mobbing and 1v1 skill, Flame Launcher and Gatling Shot. Once you meet the prerequisite of Level 10 Gatling Shot, go all out on Flame Launcher; it's mobbing capabilities will level you fast. We like extra firepower on our 1v1 so we will max Gatling Shot first. Drillhands is only used for rushing.

Summary:
Atomic Hammer: MAX
Heavy Weapon Mastery: MAX
Rocket Booster: 3
Physical Training: MAX
Mechanic Rage: MAX
Open portal: GX-9 : 10
Perfect Armour:MAX
Mechanic Mastery: MAX
Reasoning: Max everything except Rocket Booster. The skills you maxed are important. After you reach 4th job, consider resetting SP and MAX your bots because you wouldn't need the attacking skills and their mastery. So instead, if you reset your SP, max your bots and passives(other than heavy weapon mastery) first.
