MapleStory M, the free to play mobile MMO from Nexon, is loading a huge new update as part of its third anniversary celebrations.
After launching back in 2018, this mobile MMO based on the hugely successful MapleStory franchise has stayed the curse with three years of free to play adventure on iOS and Android. Now players preparing for the latest annual celebrations have even more new content to look forward to.
Angelic Buster Mega Burning Event
The third anniversary update will introduce the Angelic buster to MapleStory M. Born as a disgraced Nova without a tail or magic, Angelic Buster inherited the powers of Eskalade, an ancient dragon residing inside an ancient relic of Pantheon. This unique heritage gives the Angelic Buster a dragon shaped arm cannon that can blast waves of enemies. Her other slot holds the power of Eskalade in a special ring. This ring allows her to transform into Angelic Buster and a range of special skills.
Alongside the new character, this new event will allow new players to catch up. Once new characters reach level 10, they will be rewarded for completing missions, while new characters between levels 3 and 120 can level up to two additional bonus levels each time they level up through the Mega Burning event.
Third Anniversary Magical Land Events
This isn’t the only in-game event running as part of the third anniversary celebrations. Players will be able to upgrade their merry-go-round up to four ranks thanks to special drops, take part in a special parade, grab magic coins, and more. We’ve included the full list of events below.
