Pocket Maplestory - Luminous Build

Luminous Build Guide

Luminous is the 8th class to be released in Pocket Maplestory. He has a dark/light skill system where you will need to repeatedly switch between using dark and light skills in order to enter the ‘Equilibrium’ state for maximum DPS. Hence, you are unable to just spam a certain skill. Although Luminous is a Magician class, he is quite tanky and is able to withstand high damage due to his Standard Magic Guard skill whereby 85% of the damage taken will be absorbed by your Mana pool.

Leveling as Luminous is exceptionally fast by spamming Moonlight Spear when you are in ‘Eclipse’ state. You are able to kill multiple enemies (even if they are 20+ levels above you) in a wide area within a second using that skill. There are no cooldown and it consumes 0 MP in ‘Eclipse’ state. A trick to quickly enter the ‘Eclipse’ state is to go back to the character screen or to enter and exit a random dungeon. As I love to Auto-Combat, I added till my Dexterity hits 150 to allow my character to grind effortlessly without the need of any healing pets till level 140.

Just for Information:

‘Sunfire’ state: +50% Light Magic Damage, heals 1% HP per Light Magic Attack.

‘Eclipse’ state: +50% Dark Magic Damage, Dark Magic cost 0 MP!
