MapleStory Cygnus Returns

Thunder Breakers (Strikers) are Pirates who are christened under Cygnus, blessed by the spirit of lightning and the sea. As Cygnus Knights who study and serve under the direct command of Hawkeye, they use Knuckle as their main weapons and can fight at close to fairly long range, using lightning and thunder based techniques which they manipulate using a variety of methods, including most recently, incorporating the shape, nature and influence of the sea.

Overview[]

Thunder Breakers have a specific system that allows them to chain almost all of their techniques together in successive manuevers, reducing their relay and (upon reaching 3rd job), increasing your damage. In addition, they also ignore 5% enemy defense for each Lightning buff accumulated from the Lightning Elemental skill in 1st job; you also gain a stack at a chance while attacking. Initially, you can only gain one Lightning stack, but with each new Lightning upgrade (Electrified in 1st job, Lightning Boost in 2nd, Lightning Lord in 3rd, and Thunder God in 4th), you can accumulate up to 5 stacks.

Upon reaching 3rd job, you obtain a new skill called Gale, which uses up your accumulated stacks and gives you a damage boost, but it has a cooldown. This skill is further upgraded in 4th job with Typhoon. At Level 140, you unlock the hyper skill Primal Bolt, which allows you to spam Typhoon without a cooldown or any Lightning buffs, but you gain no damage boost from Lightning buffs (this is made up for since with this skill active, you ignore 9% enemy defense for each stack, and you gain a 25% damage boost.

Job Advancements[]

1st Job Advancement[]

At Level 10, a Noblesse (the player) will have the opportunity to receive the 1st Job Advancement by speaking to the tactician Neinheart in Ereve, who will tell the player to choose a job instructor. A player that wishes to become a Thunder Breaker will have to talk to the Chief Knight of Lightning Hawkeye to the left, who will grant the 1st Job Advancement to the player.

2nd Job Advancement[]

At Level 30, Neinheart will contact the player via a light bulb and ask them to talk to Hawkeye, the Chief Knight of Lightning. Hawkeye will send the player to the Second Drill Hall to retrieve Proof of Exam from the Jr. Balrog lurking inside. Afterwards, the player will have to head back to Hawkeye to receive the 2nd Job Advancement.

3rd Job Advancement[]

At Level 60, Neinheart will contact the player via a light bulb and ask them to talk to Hawkeye once more to begin the Advanced Knight's Trial. Hawkeye will send the player to the Third Drill Hall to face their Inner Darkness as proof of devotion to the Empress. After talking with Hawkeye again, he will tell the player to talk to Cygnus, who will grant the 3rd Job Advancement to the player.

4th Job Advancement[]

At Level 100, Neinheart will contact the player via a light bulb, sending the player to the Temple of Time with Hawkeye to meet with the informant Della. She will warn the two about a mysterious black fog within the Gate of the Future that shows a false future of Ereve, with the Cygnus Knigths joining the Black Mage. The player will enter the Gate to the Future and fall into an enchanted sleep, being presented with a vision of Ereve's false future where Cygnus and her Chief Knights are corrupted. The black fog will attempt to pull the player in, but Hawkeye will push the player aside and get captured instead. The player will head back into the Gate to the Future to save Hawkeye and almost loses consciousness before hearing Cygnus's voice calling to them and reminding them of who they are. The player will be sent to a dream-like map and have to defeat the Wightmare and rescue Hawkeye. After Hawkeye wakes up, Della will inform the player and Hawkeye that Cygnus has fallen, and they rush to Ereve.

The player, Hawkeye, and the rest of the Chief Knights meet with Neinheart and learn that Cygnus had fallen into an enchanted sleep, similar to what happened to the player. Shinsoo uses her power to send the player into Cygnus's dream, where Cygnus is staring into a mirror of the future and witnesses her corrupted future. She freaks out and faints, as her corrupted future breaks out of the mirror and into Cygnus's dream world. The player must then defeat her future self in order to be transported back to the real world. Neinheart thanks the player for saving Cygnus, acknowledging that they were likely facing a new enemy. He sends the player to talk to Cygnus, who will grant the 4th Job Advancement to the player.
