Light vs. Dark Attributes
There are two version of Luminous UI. The Global MapleStory version of Luminous is a bit different from the version of Luminous in the Korean and other versions of MapleStory. |
|
Original
In Korea MapleStory and other MapleStory version, after completing the tutorial, there is a choice between Light and Darkness. These choices will slightly affect the storyline and grant him Light Affinity or Dark Affinity respectively, which increases the damage of the respective affinity. Once the player uses a skill, light or dark, the orb will immediately fill up with 100% purple or blue, respectively. Using light magic will increase the dark side of the orb until it is fully purple, activating Eclipse, and vice versa will activate Sunfire. |
Alteration
In Global MapleStory version, the quests and skills have been modified to adjust gameplay flow. You won't choose between light/dark in the beginning tutorial, and there will only be one story. The story will be based on the Dark side, wherein Luminous is conflicted about the darkness within him. You will have access to light and dark skills, with the ability to switch between the two and activate buffs that will enhance one or the other attribute. You will gain the light vs. dark gauge when you complete your 2nd job advancement, at which point you will also be able to switch between light and dark modes. |

When switching between light and dark modes, you'll briefly enter an Equilibrium state.

Equilibrium
- Power Stance has a chance to be activated for a brief period, preventing you from getting knocked back.
- Attacking monsters with light skills will recover 1% of your HP.
- Dark skills will use 0 MP.
- Both effects for light and dark will be applied for attack skills that have an equilibrium attribute.

Morph Gauge & Dragon Link UI
Use special attacks to fill the Morph Gauge to transform into Kaiser's ancient dragon form, which increases Kaiser's strength and mobility. As you level your Kaiser, you'll reach new transformation stages with distinct looks. The Dragon Link UI sits below the Morph Gauge and allows you to assign certain abilities to key combinations (i.e. Left, Right + Attack, or Left, Down + Attack, etc). These skills can also be added to your Quick Slot hot keys like other abilities. However, using the Dragon Link key combinations will fill your Morph Gauge faster! |
