Adele in MapleStory
MapleStory is a long-running 2D side-scrolling online RPG set in Maple World, where players create and customise their own heroes from dozens of classes. Adele is a Warrior class from the Flora race, introduced in 2020. She fights using Aether swords that she conjures and controls with her will, combining heavy melee attacks with swords that orbit and strike around her. Many players are drawn to her stylish animations, smooth mobility and strong bossing potential.
What is the V Matrix?
The V Matrix is MapleStory’s 5th job progression system. Once a character reaches 5th job, they equip “Nodestones” in the V Matrix to unlock new skills (skill nodes), boost existing skills (boost nodes) and gain access to shared special nodes. Setting up an efficient Adele V Matrix is an important step in increasing her damage.
Key Adele skills
Skill names and effects can change with game updates, but Adele’s kit typically includes:
- Cleave and Magic Dispatch: core attacks that hit enemies in front of her and send Aether swords after targets.
- Aether Forge: summons swords that fight alongside her and generates Aether for other skills.
- Hunting Decree, Impale and Plummet: area and directional attacks for mobbing and combos.
- Grave Proclamation and other burst skills used during boss fights.
- Mobility skills such as her flash jump and teleport-style movement for fast travel around maps.
Building an efficient V Matrix
- Prioritise boost nodes for Adele’s most-used attacking skills, arranging them in “trios” so each skill appears in three different nodes.
- Unlock 5th job skill nodes such as her class-specific skills (for example, Ruin and Infinite) as they become available.
- Add common nodes shared by all classes, such as Decent skills and class-group skills.
- Level your nodes over time by combining duplicates or using node shards.
Because skill balance changes with patches, check up-to-date community guides, official patch notes and in-game tooltips before finalising your setup.
Why play Adele?
Adele offers a satisfying mix of mobility, area damage and strong bossing, all wrapped in a visually striking sword-based fighting style. Her journey takes players through MapleStory’s diverse regions, from forests and deserts to underwater cities and otherworldly realms, making her a popular choice for both new and returning players.
