Kaiser is probably in terms of lore and just concept wise my favorite class alongside Demon Slayer. I feel so sad that Nexon did shit for this class. People say Kanna got done dirty but man Kaiser is just next level
I think Kaiser is worst cause it’s a KMS class so it’s expected to get looked at a little bit. While Kanna is not in KMS so it getting overlooked is kind of to be expected.
It baffles me that kaiser has not seen a single rework since it’s release. The job feels like its stuck in 2012 which just isnt good enough anymore. I was hoping that with Nexon’s announcement of reworks of the different branches like explorers and cygnus knights that kaiser might get the loved it needs, too bad that idea was cancelled
I think because while it can feel somewhat outdated design wise, it actually doesnt fare too badly while bossing. It has good damage, and decent amount of self utility, so Nexon just doesnt feel the need to do anything with it
@@shizouka19 Supposedly because the reception to the Cygnus Knight rework was lukewarm at best. Only Dawn Warriors got the best changes while ones that truly needed a proper rework like Blaze Wizards were left behind.
I used to main and love this class way back when it released. But holy hell, nothing changed about this class and that is the problem. As you said, it feels outdated.
After being forced to play Kaiser for an extensive period of time, I feel like the class gets more flack than it deserves. The mobbing is fantastic although it's definitely not brain dead. You need to actively pay attention to the cooldowns and use a bunch of different skills. The mobility is amazing as well, but yeah, definitely took some time to get used to the teleporting. Once you get that down though, I feel like Kaiser isn't limited to what map they can train on due to their ability to move around quickly and their mobbing capabilities. Overall though I would love to see some changes for the class. Aran is still the best Warrior😎
My kaiser is level 214, and was primarily going to be my main, but as I get further through arcane river he gets less playable each area. Really wish nexon would give him something that feels like he's from 2020+
Man i remeber when this class first came out i fell in love with it and had a blast lvling it but after quiting maple and coming back and see all the chages other classes got and saw my boy got nothing but a bunch of cobwebs i was sad. i really hope this class gets a major revamp or just alot of love to boost him
Exact same experience here. I loved the lack of mana and dragon theme, but this class is SO neglected. Considering we’re building up to a massive event centred around grandis and this class was our intro to that world I’m holding out hope for that rework
Love the series! If possible, I think it would also be really cool if one or a couple high-level mains from each of these classes weighed in as well in case there are some less-obvious upsides/downsides to the class.
Yes, never forget people! Dragon Knight class died for this! What is wrong with people in Nexon? Kaiser concept is so cool. I mean, comeone. Knight that can turn into dragon? That's so cool! It's the man's fantasy! I remember that back when the class was released, people were so hyped. Why they never updated this class? What, is there a lore reason, or something? Darmoor will do something that will awaken Kaiser's hidden power? Even Angelic Buster is as good as she's flashy, why Kaiser is left to be like this?
I dont understand why nexon added the extra button press to do so called linking for attacks on release you just needed to press attack and arrows to spesific direction and it worked just fine. But then again even if it was still the original way kaiser just feels outdated.
At least with the original dragon link skill, we could recover 3%HPs health by attacking, which is also why so many people complained and wanted kaiser nerfed (also hackers abused that). So they just destroyed the dragon link all along and now that hackers have gone they still haven't reworked kaiser properly in the last 10 years.
This is the only class in the entire game that, every time I play it, makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong. Even after looking up training videos and rotation guides it still feels weird. Needless to say, this was one of the last classes I finished for my legion.
I think Kaiser is the new Mihile in the sense that Nexon made it and forgot all about it and since nobody plays it, there's not enough of a player base to make a rework/revamp worth the time and investment.
Yeah you pretty much covered it. I have a 230 Kaiser and while we have gotten a few changes and buffs in recent (1+ year) updates, yeah it needs some real attention. I'll die on the hill of saying Kaiser is a great class, it just needs to be updated and/or overhauled for the 21st century. Using Gigas wave in final form with high attack speed is an absolute dopamine rush and Kaiser's 5th job skills are incredible. I have tons of fun with this class, but I know it could feel just so much better if they could iron out some of the jank.
Class is unpopular because half the kit looks like it was made in 1988 and is super clunky, and since it underperforms exclusively in the endgame bosses, the mains complain about it so you don't often hear any praise for this class Here's hoping the class gets a full rework in the next KMS summer update.
lmao as if you know anything about other games beyond ms. I honestly think many of you people should of let the Nexon MS die off already. It should've died over 10 years ago and been left as a wonderful memory. It's disgusting to see what the game has turned into and ppl still playing it.

I mained Kaiser for a while and i will admit that the class does feel outdated. My favorite part of the class is the final form transformation and honestly i was hoping they would focus on the final form more in the fifth job skills. The v skills arent bad i actually think it makes his mobbing quite good with draco surge every 6 secs on a passive for gigas wave and blade fall on a 10-15 sec cd. Kaisers burst has always been subpar but not terrible. I also agree that Kaiser has some pretty useless stats especially on the defender mode only useful there is the hp damage reduction. The dragon link is god awful and i honestly hate the interaction with tempest blades. When adele was released I truly believed that the whole flying homing blades is what kaisers tempest blades should have been. Hope my dragon boy gets some love soon without removing his whole final form transformation
I did a boss with a kaiser in my party and the stupid fatass dragon form completely obscured seren in the corner and I couldn't see her attacks. I did not uncrouch during that fight.
I'm a kaiser main on Bera (252). I appreciate the in depth look, and attention to ALL the reasons Kaiser needs a rework. Oh sweet lord dragon link needs to go.
So, when I got back into Maplestory a couple months back, one of my friends pointed out Kaiser was the only character without an animated splash art on the character select. Never would I have guessed it was because they never fucking touched this guy since his release! That's God levels of neglect
it boggles my mind that despite my kaiser being well funded, and having a whopping 60%+ ignore def stat, it's such a chore to kill enemies at around his level, so much so that it feels like work trying to level him, he's 3 levels away from 200 right now, i hope they eventually give kaiser the love he deserves, he NEEDS a rework
Kaiser was my main forever ago God I loved playing him but there was like 6months at least where his link button was broken in the game and with his kit being sub par with link it just shoved me away. Battlemage there I went
There has been some reworks to kaisers kit, they just arent huge, i have a level 210 kaiser on the reg server and i recently played a kasier to 140 on reboot for oldtimes sake (legion). Kaiser’s blade burst skill used to hit twice, now it only hits once. Also his floating swords used to have to be clicked again everytime he used them, now they auto respawn. The class has changed. Just not in a huge amount.
How is that a rework that they forced a 3 seconds cooldown on tempest blades (you could instantly use it when they resetted before, now you have to wait 3 seconds. Basically, it's a nerf if you have 7+ seconds cooldown hat.) The skill itself is so garbage that no one uses it while bossing, there are so many buttons that we have to press while bossing and tempest blade is at the very bottom of our list. I will give you that the mobility of kaiser is one of the best when you get used to it. Them making Dragon link obsolete is still a meme to this day, and them reworking blade burst is fine, but I wouldn't call it a groundbreaking change. That barely addressed issues with the class. The class is so damn weak, barely gets low burst cooldowns like other classes, has a 60-second , hasn't received a decent rework or damage buff for years now. Lower the class cooldowns and increase its damage for the love of God. Don't give us more skills. We are lacking hotkey keybind space because of all the junk skills we have to cast in order to maximize our damage output by 1 more %. They also removed the option to use Rope Lift in Dragon form for no good reason. Every 6 months for a job balancing patch, you can read: "we have fixed kaiser nova guardians summon ability."
@@Tabarnacification 1. tempest blade is like 6% fd, you are trolling by not using it 2. burst sucks, but 2min cd is relatively short when others are 3min so idk what you're complaining about 3. our is 60s cd, not 120s, it's unironically one of the best s in the game 4. never had rope lift in dragon form idk what you're talking about you are delusional all of your comments here are dumb af you clearly either haven't played since 2017 or are talking about a different class cause what you are describing is not kaiser xD
@MrDuck7 1.Kaiser could use Rope Lift in xform at one point. 2. Our is 60s CD, couldn't find the comment to correct that mistake. Yes it is a long I frame but the cooldown is very long compared to Hero, Adele, Mihile, Paladins, DB. Tempest blade should be auto cast like Adele. It always feel weird to use so often for that small amount of damage.
@@Tabarnacification your complaint is just dumb. Hero's is so small you have to be super precise to use it correctly, invincibility window is super small. Adele's "" isn't even an , you tank one hit and then die to anything else that hits you, the invin window is just as small too, it's really hard to use properly. Any adele you talk to wants it buffed it's really bad. Mihile and paladins are fucking tanks their s are designed to be good idk what your complaint is. Dual blade is 45s cd with 1.5s invin window. ours is like 3-4s invin window with 60s cd, shorter cd s will have smaller invin windows, our is perfect the way it is. for tempest blades you legit just press one fucking button every 10s for free dmg you're just lazy af if you think that's too hard to manage, i suggest playing a different class
@MrDuck7 my complaint is that Kaiser's is just worst for the Iframes and hasn't received any significant buff, are you that stupid? DB and adele can skip CD and reduce cooldown their s while kaiser can't.Tempest blade has no utility. They could just remove the skill and add % dmg elsewhere and it would actually make kaiser better. It's not about being lazy it's about a skill being clunky to use and shouldn't be there in the first place. Making it an auto skill would give some sense to it. You're completely missing the point idiot.
I was the first 250 Kaiser in EU Reboot, a shame i did it literally days after the 275 cap hit XD...but i pretty much had 0 real competition for levelling that class. For me Kaiser sold me on his lore and design, and with funding i think hes fantastic to play, but there is a pot of clutter in the kit...I personally didnt have an issue with the Dragon Link system, but i think Aran does the "2d fighter input" style better than Kaiser does.
I was really hyped for kaiser, i was waiting for the maintenance to be over, played it anddddd then servers went off for quite a few days and when i finally been able to play it was the worst class i've had ever played till now. That was pretty sad.
What a lot of people don't realize when kaiser was released on GMS, it had better mechanics, then they changed it to the currently mechanics shortly after, but kaisers were OP, they use to not need pots. It pains me but I still main it
Swords explosions full clear. Gigas after enhanced becomes a good mobbing tool. You have 2 5th job skills that full clear. You have a fma. 2 summons. Mobbing is literally better than bossing. Bossing is strong but it needs setup because of morph gauge
I first played MapleStory in 2006 when i was 11 years old... back then i started as Warrior then Spearman, i loved the Dragon Knight class and when i reached lvl 70 it was one of the best moments in my (gaming) life, why did that awesome class had to die for this i will never forgive Nexon for...
@@teethcoat4274 They're not equivalent, and Dark Knight was the 4th job advancement of Dragon Knight. But apparently for Nexon we couldn't have two classes whose identity was strongly associated with dragons so they killed Dragon Knight turning it into Berserker for the sake of the new Kaiser class.
I used to main Kaiser because I thought the floating blades were cool (you could do this with 2-handed swords like the chocolate banana). Blade Burst used to be so awful, you had to be on the ground to use it. Kaiser's mobbing has gotten a lot better since especially with 5th job skills. You could also bypass cancel WA and damage reflect when in final form and when using Kaiser's Majesty, but boss mechanics don't really utilize those nowadays Also, didn't they fix the hitbox on Transfiguration a while back?
They kept nerfing Gina's wave damage and even removed a line or 2 iirc. Then they just forgot to revert those changes when they buffed and reworked every other classes. Way to go devs
@alandavid6473 they nerfed it by 40% damage to let us target +1 monster while everyone else got +60%FD.. the 40% dmg nerf is unjustified. But yeah sure I guess I'll take it. Just doesn't feel like we got more, just the same. The might of nova buff is great though but 6mins CD for a DPM class is counterproductive.
@Stephon9015 One day, a dev actually playing Kaiser will make the balance haha. I really think the gauge and transformation not allowing us to burst whenever we want is a massive issue for kaiser players that has yet to be addressed.
Well said. People are looking too far into this. All they need to do is buff its damage and remove the useless skills (dragon link, defense mode). It's like when Cursebite had to be cast, now they made it passive. They just need to do that for the 10 other garbage skills that Kaiser has. Having so many abilities clogs our hotkeys and then we can't even keybind our matrix skills anywhere anymore
When played well, Kaiser can be one of the strongest class with fairly consistent damage even without burst, good mobility with teleports + up jump + rope connect without cooldown, and good survivability with 4th job buff + Defender Mode (healing at normal mode or -5% damage during final form) + 1min cooldown
I have a personal bias for hating Kaiser. I loved being a Dragon Knight/Dark Knight main. Dragon Roar was the shit back in the day, so that class being reworked in favor for Kaiser pissed me off
Oooooof. I chose Kaiser for my burning class because I was getting back into the game, after starting out back at Big Bang Update and only hitting lvl 23 as my max. Yeah, it was kinda easy to level him up to 200 but I had no concept of mobbing or bossing, and after trying a ton of other classes for Links and Legion..Kinda wish I did Mercedes or a main class instead LOL I love Kaiser's concept but jesus there's so many things wrong atm
When it was released it was fun at first but after a while it didn't stack up to other classes in terms of enjoyment for me. It felt like a job to keep damage up and my fingers started cramping playing the class.
Wait most of my characters would have 4k main stat and I still have trouble dealing with chaos Zakum,easy Cygnus,and normal Magnus, Arkum,Pink Bean I can't even damage Lotus
I used to main Kaiser before Adele came out. I love the 5th job skills but the mobbing needs some improvement IMO. I’m not a fan of using Blade Burst (I think that was the move?) a lot but I had to as Gigas Wave only hits multiple enemy in its 5th job form every now and then. But teleporting around the maps with Kaiser ancestors feel so satisfying I gotta admit.
i would love a rework since its definitely needed, I bounced off this class the moment it tried to teach me the wacky and janky combo attack system (it has a good link skill for demon avenger though +20% hp is nice for DA)
Ngl I used to be a Kaiser main all the way back in 2016 but I did play him back when he had the old key mechanic. It's kind of sad that they fell off. They are still strong but they do need an animation rework and a rework to the dragon link skill cause his kit for the rest is fine.
if kaiser can have explorer sensai path of kaiser can choose 3 hero/darknight/ paladin, if paladin will be golden kaiser with paladin if dark Knight it will be dark purple if hero will be white kaiser ....
I play it as an alt, it's fine. I do wish they would rework some things or at least add a cash outfit (since Kaivesurnet has been unavailable for so long)
Oh man. I remember coming back when kaiser came out and it was so beautifully OP and the first time I had luck scrolling a weapon worth almost a Bill. Right in the nostalgia. Coming back though man some of these classes just feel so choppy compared to some of the reworks. Its not that they can't mob or full clear but it just does not feel great or smooth as other classes.
boss category there're a bunch of better options to choose, for example: any thief that's not xenon (xenon is still good but with funded), 3 explorer warrior, dawn warrior, DS, DA, ...
The problem I see with Kaiser is that it has a great theme, but a very outdated concept (combo skill trigger, something Aran does better) and hasn't really been reworked properly as of late. We're talking about a class that ended up with 140% max stance after the general skill rework on everyone, Nexon clearly hasn't even bother to look at Kaiser yet. I'm reminded of my main Buccaneer before it got all its reworks and LotD: you can like the class, but it really didn't offer anything unique beyond "I punch things!". Kaiser's uniqueness is basically an "I'm a dragon!" gimmick at the moment.
I was honestly hoping he would have some remaster to be on par with the other characters. He would my new Main since I'm a sucker for Dragon themed fighters.
I’ve mained kaiser since 2014 and the old combo system was simple as in blade burst is ⬅️+➡️ attack and you get more attack and you recover hp so you didn’t need pots cause you’ll be using the combo system way more than hot keys like how it is now and ignoring the new system, defense buff is a joke 😂 transform your weren’t able to jump but you teleport, and now you can do both, they had potential to be even better, but they got nexon’d 😂😂
it's awful when it comes to mobbing. Even bossing is not that fun when there's so mechanic to learn and the output is not that satisfied. Leveling him to 268 and left him being a mule and switch to Adele instead. Part that i hate when mobbing is his summons are so clunky to use, his dragon form is why i played him but after awhile i got bored cuz of dealing with its cooldown. why would i choose Kaiser when i can use Dawn Warrior or Adele lol.
Ngl Kaiser does felt slow cause you have some kind of delay before and during each attacks Plus Nexon Changing the Kaiser's final form teleportation to just normal jump make it felt even slower,the damage was good but i don't felt any smoothness playing this class
Still hurts we lost Dragon Knight for this. Also it's sad it hasn't been updated since release, it feels so terrible, and it wasn't much better a decade ago.
Man Kaiser used to be king when the damage cap was 2bil cuz they had the most lines of damage. Too bad they haven't been touched at all since then and are giga outdated. Even AB has gotten tons of qol changes but Kaiser is legit useless now with a terrible link and meh legion card.
I have already known that Kaiser would be the next video. We're the underdogs for so long that people think it's super bad. Kaiser is old, but gold, and your demonstration of grinding isn't correct, since you can double jump and teleport while pressing Blade burst will have you move faster, and consider they got nerfed the 2nd hit into 1 single hit, it's decent if you can 1 shot the mob, and Draco Surge has supper big range in final form so it's not an issue. And your using of Iframe is wrong too, you have to press it before getting KOed about 0.2 sec, and during Iframe you have to cancel it with 5th jov Blade Fall in order not to lose your dps output during bossing. Of course it feels clunky, so attack speed inner ability is required, and 2nd line can be boss damage so we only lose like 10% of boss damage compares to other classes with 20% boss damage inner ability, but you know what, Final Form will cover that 10%. And further more, Kaiser has quite a lot of Def ignore stat, even more than Adele with the same set of gear, so he can be a bossing mule as an early bosser. Please be consider that keeping the gauge up to transform isn't bad, Infernal Breath and Tempest Blade help alot, and in bossing, you can spam Dragon Link Wing Beat - Wing Beat to fill it up within 20 to 30 secs. As a Kaiser main myself, this is kinda sad to me that IF compared to some current other class, some class could or coud not pass Kaiser interm of easy play style, we do need some love from nexon but it's hard to rework a class from balanced to something off scale.
yeah, also he isnt bigger than other classes anymore. i wish coppersan did a little bit more research before making these videos. a lot of returning players watch these and i think that putting bad information is irresponsible
@@MaysoonTV That's right, some classes need to be configured correctly to display their true potential, people just really look only for the obvious outstanding class like Adele or Night Lord. What is fun when you have already known where to go?
@@MaysoonTV He is still bigger, its very noticable in bosses like VHilla. Certain attack animations for whatever reason still have old large hitboxes, so when strings appear you can't attack because your arm stretches out and it counts as hitbox. Hes also a little taller but thats usually not that big of a deal.
![[Maplestory] Dual Blade Burst Guide & Bossing Showcase](/img/n.gif)
its so sad Kaiser is like this because its easily one of the coolest class concepts theyve ever done
As a Kaiser you stand your ground so much when transformed you actually knock back the enemies.
LMAO
The 240% stance isn't to prevent getting knocked back by enemies but to prevent the ground from being knocked back
Kaiser is probably in terms of lore and just concept wise my favorite class alongside Demon Slayer. I feel so sad that Nexon did shit for this class. People say Kanna got done dirty but man Kaiser is just next level

There has been some reworks to kaisers kit, they just arent huge, i have a level 210 kaiser on the reg server and i recently played a kasier to 140 on reboot for oldtimes sake (legion). Kaiser’s blade burst skill used to hit twice, now it only hits once. Also his floating swords used to have to be clicked again everytime he used them, now they auto respawn. The class has changed. Just not in a huge amount.
How is that a rework that they forced a 3 seconds cooldown on tempest blades (you could instantly use it when they resetted before, now you have to wait 3 seconds. Basically, it's a nerf if you have 7+ seconds cooldown hat.) The skill itself is so garbage that no one uses it while bossing, there are so many buttons that we have to press while bossing and tempest blade is at the very bottom of our list. I will give you that the mobility of kaiser is one of the best when you get used to it. Them making Dragon link obsolete is still a meme to this day, and them reworking blade burst is fine, but I wouldn't call it a groundbreaking change. That barely addressed issues with the class. The class is so damn weak, barely gets low burst cooldowns like other classes, has a 60-second , hasn't received a decent rework or damage buff for years now. Lower the class cooldowns and increase its damage for the love of God. Don't give us more skills. We are lacking hotkey keybind space because of all the junk skills we have to cast in order to maximize our damage output by 1 more %. They also removed the option to use Rope Lift in Dragon form for no good reason. Every 6 months for a job balancing patch, you can read: "we have fixed kaiser nova guardians summon ability."
@@Tabarnacification
1. tempest blade is like 6% fd, you are trolling by not using it
2. burst sucks, but 2min cd is relatively short when others are 3min so idk what you're complaining about
3. our is 60s cd, not 120s, it's unironically one of the best s in the game
4. never had rope lift in dragon form idk what you're talking about
you are delusional all of your comments here are dumb af you clearly either haven't played since 2017 or are talking about a different class cause what you are describing is not kaiser xD
@MrDuck7 1.Kaiser could use Rope Lift in xform at one point. 2. Our is 60s CD, couldn't find the comment to correct that mistake. Yes it is a long I frame but the cooldown is very long compared to Hero, Adele, Mihile, Paladins, DB. Tempest blade should be auto cast like Adele. It always feel weird to use so often for that small amount of damage.
@@Tabarnacification your complaint is just dumb. Hero's is so small you have to be super precise to use it correctly, invincibility window is super small. Adele's "" isn't even an , you tank one hit and then die to anything else that hits you, the invin window is just as small too, it's really hard to use properly. Any adele you talk to wants it buffed it's really bad. Mihile and paladins are fucking tanks their s are designed to be good idk what your complaint is. Dual blade is 45s cd with 1.5s invin window. ours is like 3-4s invin window with 60s cd, shorter cd s will have smaller invin windows, our is perfect the way it is.
for tempest blades you legit just press one fucking button every 10s for free dmg you're just lazy af if you think that's too hard to manage, i suggest playing a different class
@MrDuck7 my complaint is that Kaiser's is just worst for the Iframes and hasn't received any significant buff, are you that stupid? DB and adele can skip CD and reduce cooldown their s while kaiser can't.Tempest blade has no utility. They could just remove the skill and add % dmg elsewhere and it would actually make kaiser better. It's not about being lazy it's about a skill being clunky to use and shouldn't be there in the first place. Making it an auto skill would give some sense to it. You're completely missing the point idiot.
I was the first 250 Kaiser in EU Reboot, a shame i did it literally days after the 275 cap hit XD...but i pretty much had 0 real competition for levelling that class.
For me Kaiser sold me on his lore and design, and with funding i think hes fantastic to play, but there is a pot of clutter in the kit...I personally didnt have an issue with the Dragon Link system, but i think Aran does the "2d fighter input" style better than Kaiser does.
I unironically think they have the single worst mobbing skill in the entire game. The sword crash thing, it's ugly, weak, small hitbox
I was really hyped for kaiser, i was waiting for the maintenance to be over, played it anddddd then servers went off for quite a few days and when i finally been able to play it was the worst class i've had ever played till now. That was pretty sad.
What a lot of people don't realize when kaiser was released on GMS, it had better mechanics, then they changed it to the currently mechanics shortly after, but kaisers were OP, they use to not need pots. It pains me but I still main it
Kaiser looks the coolest but nothing about him makes me want to play him lol
Kaiser was my first class that I got up to 140 to unlock the hyper skills, sad to see that it falls from graces.
Also, love this series!
Kaiser seems like such a fun bosser but his mobbing is so god awful...
Literally not true lmao
Swords explosions full clear. Gigas after enhanced becomes a good mobbing tool. You have 2 5th job skills that full clear. You have a fma. 2 summons.
Mobbing is literally better than bossing. Bossing is strong but it needs setup because of morph gauge
@@etmajin792 thank you for speaking facts. 🙏
Tell me you did not play kaiser without telling me you did not play kaiser
Kaiser seems like a fun mobber but his bossing is so god aweful*
Kaiser and Phantoms seem to be Nexon's two worst classes.
240% stance OH YEAH.
guess they heard your complaints, cause he's animated now xD
Let's hope the lack of splash animation is a sign that a major rework is in the works. *huffs copium* Dragon Knights are cool :3
I first played MapleStory in 2006 when i was 11 years old... back then i started as Warrior then Spearman, i loved the Dragon Knight class and when i reached lvl 70 it was one of the best moments in my (gaming) life, why did that awesome class had to die for this i will never forgive Nexon for...
I don’t think the dragon knight was equivalent to Kaiser, was it? Wouldn’t dragon night be more similar to dark knight?
@@teethcoat4274 They're not equivalent, and Dark Knight was the 4th job advancement of Dragon Knight. But apparently for Nexon we couldn't have two classes whose identity was strongly associated with dragons so they killed Dragon Knight turning it into Berserker for the sake of the new Kaiser class.
I love Kaiser because he can negate boss damage reflect
I used to main Kaiser because I thought the floating blades were cool (you could do this with 2-handed swords like the chocolate banana). Blade Burst used to be so awful, you had to be on the ground to use it. Kaiser's mobbing has gotten a lot better since especially with 5th job skills. You could also bypass cancel WA and damage reflect when in final form and when using Kaiser's Majesty, but boss mechanics don't really utilize those nowadays
Also, didn't they fix the hitbox on Transfiguration a while back?
You know what's the true problem? More lines and base damage to make up for its attack speed. Maybe more range attack.
They kept nerfing Gina's wave damage and even removed a line or 2 iirc. Then they just forgot to revert those changes when they buffed and reworked every other classes. Way to go devs
@@Tabarnacificationit’s been buffed now
@alandavid6473 they nerfed it by 40% damage to let us target +1 monster while everyone else got +60%FD.. the 40% dmg nerf is unjustified. But yeah sure I guess I'll take it. Just doesn't feel like we got more, just the same. The might of nova buff is great though but 6mins CD for a DPM class is counterproductive.
@@Tabarnacification hold out hope. It will get better one day... maybe
@Stephon9015 One day, a dev actually playing Kaiser will make the balance haha. I really think the gauge and transformation not allowing us to burst whenever we want is a massive issue for kaiser players that has yet to be addressed.
Why does no one play it? Easy, because other classes do what it does way better, easier, and more powerfully.
Well said. People are looking too far into this. All they need to do is buff its damage and remove the useless skills (dragon link, defense mode). It's like when Cursebite had to be cast, now they made it passive. They just need to do that for the 10 other garbage skills that Kaiser has. Having so many abilities clogs our hotkeys and then we can't even keybind our matrix skills anywhere anymore
When played well, Kaiser can be one of the strongest class with fairly consistent damage even without burst, good mobility with teleports + up jump + rope connect without cooldown, and good survivability with 4th job buff + Defender Mode (healing at normal mode or -5% damage during final form) + 1min cooldown
The only thing i like about the class is to ignore damage reflect that's all .
I have a personal bias for hating Kaiser.
I loved being a Dragon Knight/Dark Knight main. Dragon Roar was the shit back in the day, so that class being reworked in favor for Kaiser pissed me off
Oooooof. I chose Kaiser for my burning class because I was getting back into the game, after starting out back at Big Bang Update and only hitting lvl 23 as my max.
Yeah, it was kinda easy to level him up to 200 but I had no concept of mobbing or bossing, and after trying a ton of other classes for Links and Legion..Kinda wish I did Mercedes or a main class instead LOL
I love Kaiser's concept but jesus there's so many things wrong atm
When it was released it was fun at first but after a while it didn't stack up to other classes in terms of enjoyment for me. It felt like a job to keep damage up and my fingers started cramping playing the class.
Wait most of my characters would have 4k main stat and I still have trouble dealing with chaos Zakum,easy Cygnus,and normal Magnus, Arkum,Pink Bean I can't even damage Lotus
And here I am starting maplestory since the 2000's and loved kaiser and started to make him my main and this video pops up... lol
i dont get it why did they kill dragon knight for this class and then redesigned bucc to be exactly like old dragon knight????
I hope one day we get an animated Kaiser on the character creation.
Edit: This was posted before I even got to 5:00
I used to main Kaiser before Adele came out. I love the 5th job skills but the mobbing needs some improvement IMO. I’m not a fan of using Blade Burst (I think that was the move?) a lot but I had to as Gigas Wave only hits multiple enemy in its 5th job form every now and then. But teleporting around the maps with Kaiser ancestors feel so satisfying I gotta admit.
i like the aesthetic, which is more than i can say for most classes.
i would love a rework since its definitely needed, I bounced off this class the moment it tried to teach me the wacky and janky combo attack system (it has a good link skill for demon avenger though +20% hp is nice for DA)
Because this class is decade old and waiting to revamp
It’s not like Kiser is a bad class, but currently most of the class are far way better than Kaiser. Still, I will main him. Wish me luck 😂
Its my main as well 😂 lvl 242, I pray it gets a revamp in the future
Ngl I used to be a Kaiser main all the way back in 2016 but I did play him back when he had the old key mechanic. It's kind of sad that they fell off. They are still strong but they do need an animation rework and a rework to the dragon link skill cause his kit for the rest is fine.
"Kaiser is like the Adele we have at home" LMAOOO I died at this
I gave up on leveling a kaiser when i couldn't perform his 1st combo in the tutorial due to high ping
Buff Kaiser
if kaiser can have explorer sensai
path of kaiser can choose 3 hero/darknight/ paladin, if paladin will be golden kaiser with paladin
if dark Knight it will be dark purple
if hero will be white kaiser ....
I play it as an alt, it's fine. I do wish they would rework some things or at least add a cash outfit (since Kaivesurnet has been unavailable for so long)
Oh man. I remember coming back when kaiser came out and it was so beautifully OP and the first time I had luck scrolling a weapon worth almost a Bill.
Right in the nostalgia. Coming back though man some of these classes just feel so choppy compared to some of the reworks.
Its not that they can't mob or full clear but it just does not feel great or smooth as other classes.
Kaiser is a good killer bosses, it is not for everyone, for example pro players lordvoad, xerhu, clankaiser
boss category there're a bunch of better options to choose, for example: any thief that's not xenon (xenon is still good but with funded), 3 explorer warrior, dawn warrior, DS, DA, ...
The problem I see with Kaiser is that it has a great theme, but a very outdated concept (combo skill trigger, something Aran does better) and hasn't really been reworked properly as of late. We're talking about a class that ended up with 140% max stance after the general skill rework on everyone, Nexon clearly hasn't even bother to look at Kaiser yet.
I'm reminded of my main Buccaneer before it got all its reworks and LotD: you can like the class, but it really didn't offer anything unique beyond "I punch things!". Kaiser's uniqueness is basically an "I'm a dragon!" gimmick at the moment.
I was honestly hoping he would have some remaster to be on par with the other characters. He would my new Main since I'm a sucker for Dragon themed fighters.
I’ve mained kaiser since 2014 and the old combo system was simple as in blade burst is ⬅️+➡️ attack and you get more attack and you recover hp so you didn’t need pots cause you’ll be using the combo system way more than hot keys like how it is now and ignoring the new system, defense buff is a joke 😂 transform your weren’t able to jump but you teleport, and now you can do both, they had potential to be even better, but they got nexon’d 😂😂
Could also use Rope Lift in x form but they removed that :')
"Because it's not Angelic Buster."
That's why. There's a better Nova right there, and there always has been.
it's awful when it comes to mobbing. Even bossing is not that fun when there's so mechanic to learn and the output is not that satisfied. Leveling him to 268 and left him being a mule and switch to Adele instead. Part that i hate when mobbing is his summons are so clunky to use, his dragon form is why i played him but after awhile i got bored cuz of dealing with its cooldown.
why would i choose Kaiser when i can use Dawn Warrior or Adele lol.
I remember being so excited but after creating kaiser I realized the sound/voice effects you couldn't turn off, was so annoying.
You can definitely turn the voice off. Idk about when it was first released though
@@samanimations2002 damn worth to check out again then! thx
@@eDy0n ofc! I have a lvl 242 Kaiser
I would not have gotten that far if the voices couldn't be turned off, haha
Ngl Kaiser does felt slow cause you have some kind of delay before and during each attacks
Plus Nexon Changing the Kaiser's final form teleportation to just normal jump make it felt even slower,the damage was good but i don't felt any smoothness playing this class
i need a video on why noone plays hayato, specifically mention "tri-nodes" for half the video, as well as the bad 10-200 leveling
I dunno man... looks like the usual mascots of Maplestory got all the love, leaving the rest of the characters to rot.
Hey Coppersan! Do you know if there is going to be another burning event in the near future?
Thanks!
Is there more ways to ignore damage reflection from bosses (for other classes) ?
Magic crash prevents it, bind just let's you attack for 12 seconds free.
Dog mobbing. No FF toggle. Janky animations. Fix these & play will skyrocket.
I've actually been debating on making one of these or not so I am glad this video came out lmao.
kaiser feels so outdated and clunky to play. its really sad. its such a cool class and concept.
Wait wait wait you seriously didn't mention you can change the color of final form? Sorry that brings thr review quality down to like a 7/10
O.o people dont know THE TRUE GLORY OF KAISER
before even watching, the reason I don't play kaiser is cuz of how clunky it feels. the worst feeling class in my opinion
So I'm guessing this class isn't good still? Trying to find a two handed sword user and I like Kaisers concepts
when your a casual player, any class is nice! :3
Hi. Is this the original MapleStory? Or another maple story like maple2.
Still hurts we lost Dragon Knight for this.
Also it's sad it hasn't been updated since release, it feels so terrible, and it wasn't much better a decade ago.
Kaiser revamp. im begging you nexon. this class had so much potential
Im just waiting for the DA episode so i can cry in my cereal
It sucks cuz this is my favorite class too despite its clunkiness. And it’s my highest leveled character as well at 242
"Dragon Knight died for this class"
Can we just get dragon knight back to replace kaiser?
Might be my least favorite class so far, but being in dragon form felt good
Man Kaiser used to be king when the damage cap was 2bil cuz they had the most lines of damage. Too bad they haven't been touched at all since then and are giga outdated. Even AB has gotten tons of qol changes but Kaiser is legit useless now with a terrible link and meh legion card.
Oof, why’d you have to mention dragon knight at the end. It’s not fair, dragon roar > this entire class.
I have already known that Kaiser would be the next video. We're the underdogs for so long that people think it's super bad. Kaiser is old, but gold, and your demonstration of grinding isn't correct, since you can double jump and teleport while pressing Blade burst will have you move faster, and consider they got nerfed the 2nd hit into 1 single hit, it's decent if you can 1 shot the mob, and Draco Surge has supper big range in final form so it's not an issue. And your using of Iframe is wrong too, you have to press it before getting KOed about 0.2 sec, and during Iframe you have to cancel it with 5th jov Blade Fall in order not to lose your dps output during bossing. Of course it feels clunky, so attack speed inner ability is required, and 2nd line can be boss damage so we only lose like 10% of boss damage compares to other classes with 20% boss damage inner ability, but you know what, Final Form will cover that 10%. And further more, Kaiser has quite a lot of Def ignore stat, even more than Adele with the same set of gear, so he can be a bossing mule as an early bosser.
Please be consider that keeping the gauge up to transform isn't bad, Infernal Breath and Tempest Blade help alot, and in bossing, you can spam Dragon Link Wing Beat - Wing Beat to fill it up within 20 to 30 secs.
As a Kaiser main myself, this is kinda sad to me that IF compared to some current other class, some class could or coud not pass Kaiser interm of easy play style, we do need some love from nexon but it's hard to rework a class from balanced to something off scale.
yeah, also he isnt bigger than other classes anymore. i wish coppersan did a little bit more research before making these videos. a lot of returning players watch these and i think that putting bad information is irresponsible
@@MaysoonTV That's right, some classes need to be configured correctly to display their true potential, people just really look only for the obvious outstanding class like Adele or Night Lord. What is fun when you have already known where to go?
Also if it were me, I will rename this video to "Why NX has no love for Kaiser"
@@MaysoonTV He is still bigger, its very noticable in bosses like VHilla. Certain attack animations for whatever reason still have old large hitboxes, so when strings appear you can't attack because your arm stretches out and it counts as hitbox. Hes also a little taller but thats usually not that big of a deal.
@@Xerhu ah I see, I was led to believe that they had essentially fixed the issue. At least in nlucid for my mule it doesn't feel bad
Legit my fav class its so sad that its in such a miserable state
Rework this boy ASAP
I think they changed the hit box issue so that’s an outdated critique
