🍁 Maple Classic Guide

Cleric

Last Updated: October 22, 2026

This guide is actively being worked on! Builds shown have been updated and reviewed.

Stat Distribution

Cleric's main stat is INT and secondary is LUK.

  • Mage's Wand and Armor require 10 less LUK than the equipment level.
  • Mage's Staff requires 5 less LUK than the staff level.
  • Wands are generally better for training due to the lower LUK requirement and higher magic attack.
  • Because Wands and Armor have the same LUK requirement, you'll need to use lower level gear pieces that don't have an INT option, like shoes.
  • Put just enough points into LUK to equip your armor and weapon. Everything else into INT.

Weapon Choice

Wands are the better choice for training over Staffs:

  • Staffs have 3 less Magic Atk than a Wand of the same level.
  • Up to Lv50, Wands require at least 5 less LUK than a Staff of the same level.

Cleric Skills

MP Eater

Passive

Passive that grants a chance to absorb mp when attacking.

Solid skill that will save you a lot of mesos. Useable from level 1 so I recommend taking 1 point early. 5 second cooldown.

Teleport

Active

Strongest mobility skill in the game.

Starts off with extremely high MP cost that goes down with skill level. Uses 55 MP at level 1, which is about the amount of mesos you earn from 1 Zombie Mushroom. Most experienced mages will opt to put points into Teleport early to lower the MP cost and to make the grind from 30-40 faster.

Heal

Active

Heal uses a shared HP pool between its healing and damage effects. If Heal would normally restore you for X HP when used only on yourself, using it while hitting multiple monsters reduces the amount of healing available based on the number of monsters hit.

Because of this, when training on Zombie Lupins, you should position yourself so that you can heal yourself without hitting the surrounding monsters with Heal. This allows you to get the maximum possible healing from each cast.

Heal Damage Formula (vs undead)

Roll = rand(0.1, 1.2)
HealBase = (Total INT × Roll + Total LUK1000 + 2.5) × Magic × RecoveryRate100
× ((TargetsHit − 1) × 0.5 + 1)
Dmg = trunc(HealBase)TargetsHit ÷ 1.5

RecoveryRate is the recovery rate listed on Heal. TargetsHit is everyone the cast reaches, party members (including you) and undead monsters together. The exact rules for which targets count aren’t confirmed yet. Bless no longer adds to Heal’s damage.

This is Heal’s damage against undead, not the HP it restores.

An ok skill that makes it safer to play without using HP pots. Main purpose of this skill is for the damage reduction.

Holy Arrow

Active

Fires a holy arrow at a single target. Very effective against undead and devil-type monsters.

The damage of this skill was ok if you’re attacking Holy Weak enemies. Otherwise it felt pretty lack luster. With Forgotten Hollow being closed for Founders Access, Monkey Forest 2 is speculated to be the meta map during your 40s.

Cleric Skill Build

Magic Damage Formula has been nerfed. The breakpoints are no longer accurate. The outdated builds will still be up for now, but adjust accordingly!

Cleric builds seems to focus on maxing Holy Arrow by the time they move to Zombie Lupins. You can take teleport in the early 30's if you don't mind delaying Zombie Lupins for a couple levels.

If you're willing to use SP Resets, you can just pump Teleport / MP Eater for a better leveling experience until you move to Monkey Forest 2.

LevelSkillNotes
30
  • Heal +1 (1)

1 point Heal will replace HP pots. Highest value skill you can get at level 30.

31
  • MP Eater +1 (1)
  • Holy Arrow +2 (2)

If you’re ok with delaying Monkey Forest 2 for a couple levels, you can opt to put points into Teleport to make 30-40 training faster. If you’re willing to use SP resets, you can max teleport and reset during your 40s

32-40
  • Holy Arrow +27 (29)

Maxing Holy Arrow by lv40 to farm Zombie Lupins. You don’t use Holy Arrow for training before then. Energy Bolt is enough to 1 shot Ant Tunnel mobs at 35+.

41
  • Holy Arrow +1 (MAX)
  • Teleport +2 (2)
42-47
  • Teleport +18 (MAX)

Max teleport next for the mana efficiency. You can opt to move 5 points up for invincible if you want the damage reduction.

48
  • Heal +3 (4)
49
  • Heal +2 (6)
  • Invincible +1 (1)
50-57
  • Heal +24 (MAX)

Beyond this point, skill build is personal preference. It’s up to you whether you want to max Heal / Invincible / Bless / MP Eater. They all have their pros and cons so the skill you max is dependant on what you prioritize.

Stats Indepth

INT Scaling

INT impact to your damage range can be calculated as

Mastery = (0.1 + Spell Mastery Level10) × 0.7
Magic = ⌊INT2⌋ + Magic Atk
MIN = Basic Atk100 × Magic × (INT × Mastery125 + 1)
MAX = Basic Atk100 × Magic × (INT125 + 1)

Mastery comes from Spell Mastery, which is tied to the level of the spell you’re using

INT shows up in both Magic and the multiplier after it, so each point of INT is worth more the more INT you have.

LUK Scaling

LUK isn’t in the damage formula, so it has no direct impact on your damage. It contributes indirectly by letting you equip weapons with higher Magic Atk, which adds straight into Magic. Put in only enough LUK to equip the weapon you’re aiming for, and everything else into INT.

Accuracy

Accuracy decides whether your attacks hit. It's one stat used for both physical and magic attacks.

Accuracy from your stats can be calculated as

Acc = INT × 1.2 + Level × 2 + LUK × 0.65.1 + 20

Every stat here is your total, including equipment and buffs

Each attack compares your Accuracy against the monster's Avoid. Monsters that are a higher level than you need a lot more Accuracy to hit reliably, while being a higher level than the monster gives no extra bonus. Level is part of the formula too, so your Accuracy goes up a little every level even without adding stats.

FAQ

Why are we training in Ant Tunnel for so long?

Ant Tunnel is simply the best overall training option for this stage of the game. It provides a strong balance between EXP per minute and maintaining a healthy economy. While there are other maps you could move to, leaving Ant Tunnel too early means sacrificing either EXP efficiency or your ability to maintain your meso.

When do we move to Monkey Forest II?

You should move to Monkey Forest II around level 41 or 44, depending on which skill build you choose. However, the level itself is not the deciding factor. We would never recommend moving there until you can consistently two-hit Zombie Lupins with Holy Arrow.

Why don’t we level Heal early?

Heal has been significantly nerfed and is no longer a viable offensive training skill. Its damage is insignificant, its range has been reduced, and the amount of healing it provides to party members does not justify investing heavily into it early.

For this build, the SP is better spent improving your offensive capabilities and mobility.

How does Heal work now?

Heal uses a shared HP pool between its healing and damage effects. If Heal would normally restore you for X HP when used only on yourself, using it while hitting multiple monsters reduces the amount of healing available based on the number of monsters hit.

Because of this, when training on Zombie Lupins, you should position yourself so that you can heal yourself without hitting the surrounding monsters with Heal. This allows you to get the maximum possible healing from each cast.
