Oh young and naive Maple, breaking the game from the start. And Chrome, before he became one of her OP groupies.

How to game balance

 

[Kisato]

@natchun Spoiler:

Spoiler

The devs try, but they realize that Maple is an aberration and just say fuck it.

 

[datamaru]

@Kisato that's some lazy devs.

 

[AbuHajaar]

I mean this kind of stuff isnt without precedent, game balance is always funky

Stellaris had a meta where you disregarded technology and colonization altogether and only built basic naked corvettes, which in numbers would win over even lategame fully upgraded ships
And then there's Brawl Metaknight and GE Oddjob.

 

[Nobu]

thanks for chapter

 

[InsaneInsomniac]

jump in and use taunt then let the fish suicide rush you...drown and repeat until you get a breathe under water skill...then just sit there and collect infinite fishies?

They just decided to accept that Mapple is broken and to stop caring.
After all, they made a ton of joke skills (like for example, a skill that allows you to eat anything that can fit in your mouth), and Mapple managed to get a lot of those and transform them into game breaking element (like applying the aforementioned skill and applying it to her shield, thus making a great shield that can eat anything that's smaller than it).

And she even managed to break the normal skills.
And the devs can't really nerf those since that would made those skills useless for all the other players.

So instead of nerfing her, they decided to build the game around her.
Like making events where it would be difficult for her to use her skills fully, or make boss that are made to deal with her.

@Gianoria Reminds me of some of the dumb shit you can do in Warframe. There's a healer called Trinity who has a skill which redirects a small amount of damage she takes to enemies around her. But people figured out it worked with selfdamage weapons as well. There's also a modification you can add to a frame that reduces damage taken while in the air, but the math calculations didn't apply that reduction to the damage distributed to enemies through the skill. So people build her for range and it made the "squishy healer" able to completely nuke entire maps.

And then there was this...

absolute unbreakable last boss

 

[sadmanex]

this girl is crazy, she smile while kill players.

 

[CrazyYanmega]

@pmntamp After mulling it over, I've come up with a strategy that can theoretically beat her. Collapse a cliff on her. Her devouring shield and status effects don't appear to work on terrain, her low mobility prevents her from getting out of the way, and her low Str prevents her from forcing her way out. Granted, this probably won't kill her or even damage her, but it will disable her until she either surrenders so she can be pulled out or just logs out.

 

[Dead-chan]

Reminds me of one of my old FFXIII-3 builds.

 

[IrrelevantGirl]

Thank you for the chapter!

 

[Blaze12100]

@CrazyYanmega What makes you think the shield can't interact with the terrain? Besides if you can interact with the terrain enough to collapse a cliff on her then her shield will diffintly be able to eat the boulders.

 

[SoloSera]

Surprised she hasn't been directly nerfed. In maplestory, I think they added a cap to defense after some builds used it.
