Maegu Class Guide

Introduction

The Maegu class uses a Foxspirit Charm as her primary weapon and a Binyeo Kinife as her secondary weapon. She is a ranged magic user, specialising in Do arts and trained at the Jwado school. Her homeland is the Land of the Morning Light, which is an Asian-themed region, inspired by Korean folklore. Maegu is also the older sister and twin of the Woosa class.

At level 56, Maegu unlocks her succession skills. Succession Maegu can cast a variety of ranged attacks through spells using her foxspirit charm, or scatter the charms around her to deal melee damage. Maegu can also use magic to summon an clone of herself, confusing her enemies, as she swaps postions with her double.

Awakening

For her awakening, Maegu will swap weapons with her sister Woosa. She will use a Fan as her awakening, and Woosu will use the charm as her awakening. This has been confirmed in the Dev Commentary, which you can view below.

Although the twins will share the same weapons, their combat styles are very different, and they were designed to be almost polar opposites, so despite the weapons, we can expect a very different style than we have seen so far for their awakenings.

Skill Builds

Since the skill point update in late 2022, you can obtain all skills for approximately 1,000 skill points. Focus on your main skills first, then level the passives. The Weight Training skill should be leveled last since it only gives you weight limit increase.

Protected Skills

It is important to read through your skills to understand which skills have protection and crowd control effects. Read through your skills carefully to get familiar with what each skill does. You can also filter the different effects in the Skill Window (K).

Locked Skills

To lock a skill, press the lock icon on the top of each skill icon in the skill window (K).

These are the Succession skills I recommend locking to help prevent messing up combos during PVP.

• Evasion

Skill Enhancement (Rabam) Skills

Skill Enhancement skills can be obtained in the Skill Window (K) under the “Skill Enhancement” tab at the top. At levels 56, 57, and 58, you will have 2 different options to choose between. These skills have no skill points cost, but you have to have other skills leveled up to be able to take them.

Level 56 – [SHIFT + X]

• Heavenly Return – Requires [Flow: Hanpuri] and [Soulflame III]
• Spirit Parade – Requires [Flow: Hanpuri] and [Soulsnare III]

For the level 56 rabam, the choice is down to preference. Both skills can flow nicely out of Flow: Hanpuri by pressing (F) or (E) afterward.

So you can just hold (E) to use Soulflame > Flow: Hanpuri > Heavenly Return/Spirit Parade, or you can hold (F) to use Soulsnae > Flow: Hanpuri > Heavenly Return/Spirit Parade

Heavenly Return is an unprotected skill with a Stun CC. The skill is quick to cast with a short animation and has good damage.

Spirit Parade has a Super Armor protection, and can be useful for trading damage in PVP. The damage is decent and the skill also has a push CC that only works on monsters.

Level 57 – [SHIFT + Z]

• Petal Snare – Requires [Petal Play III] and [Petalblast III]
• Constricting Charm – Requires [Petal Play III] and [Spirit Swirl IV]
  • (Preferred Choice)

For the level 57 rabams, Constricting Charm is the more popular choice at the moment.

Petal Snare has Forward Guard protection and moves you backwards slightly. The skill has a long animation, but it can be canceled using your (SHIFT + W/A/S/D) dash.

In comparison, Constricting Charm is a faster skill with better damage. It has Super Armor protection and can also flow nicely into the Level 58 rabam: Spirit Sparks by holding (LMB) at the end.

Level 58 – [Quickslot Only]

• Spirit Sparks – Requires [Spirit Swirl IV] and [Bristling Sparks IV]
  • (Preferred Choice)
• Soul Charm – Requires [Spirit Swirl IV] and [Spirited Away IV]

For the 3rd Rabam skill, Spirit Sparks is the recommended choice. It has Forward Guard protection and flows nicely after the level 57 rabam: Constirctiong Charm by holding (LMB). The skill has good damage and also has decent HP recovery on hits.

Soul Charm also has Super Armor and recovers a flat number of HP instead, with no damage or CC. The skill is only really useful as a small heal after you have disengaged in PVP, since it has a slow stationary animation that can leave you vulnerable to a grab.

Skill Add-ons

Below are some examples of PVE skill add-ons you can take. These add-ons are recommended by the Class Discord for the specific combos listed in this guide. Full credit goes to the original sharer.

If you would like example skill add-ons for other scenarios, please refer to the Class Discord and its resources.

I recommend experimenting with your add-ons and figuring out what is best for you because it really depends on your personal preference and how you play your class. If you’re simply not sure what to take then you can blindly follow the examples below and they will still be effective.

You can also check our Skill Add-on guide for a complete list of Skill Add-ons.

Clone Mechanic (Succession)

Succession Maegu has a unique mechanic, allowing her to create an exact clone of herself and swap places with it to confuse her enemies in combat.

The clone is an exact copy of your character, even down to the outfit (including dye settings). It appears as a white dot on the mini-map like a normal player, and also has your character name, family name, guild name, title, and rankings. The clone will also have a HP bar with the same HP as when you cast the skill.

Maegu can use Prime: Foxspriit: Deceiver [Q] to swap places with her clone. The swap is unprotected but almost instant and the clone will shortly disappear after the swap. You cannot use the [Q] swap if you are CC’d.

Clones do not take damage and cannot be CC’d. You can also walk through them without collision but they do have a red cross-hair when you aim at them.

Maegu can create a clone using the following skills:

• Soul Tear (W + Q)
• Bared Claws (A/D + LMB)
• Flower Shroud (W + E)

Advanced Use:

Teleporting to your clone can also displace any skills that have a casting animation, moving the skill with you when you swap locations.

• Eg. Use Bared Claw (A/D + LMB) to summon a clone, then Spirit Swirl (SHIFT + F) and then press (Q) during the Spirit Swirl skill animation to teleport to the clone whilst still casting Spirit Swirl.

Weapons

Armor

For your armor, you will make a choice between Damage Reduction or Evasion gear. I recommend reading our guide about the two different DP stats if you want to learn what the two different stats do.

Generally, you are recommended to build Damage Reduction on Maegu at first, then swap to Evasion later on, this is because Evasion performs better on Maegu at high gearscore.

Because of the way the Evasion stat works, you may find that you are squishy for a long time and that your Evasion isn’t really doing much for you. This is why players only recommend swapping to Evasion armors once you reach full PEN gear with Caphras Level 9 or higher. It is also worth noting that Damage Reduction is still viable on Maegu, and is also viable on all classes, while Evasion is not viable on all classes. I highly recommend doing some research before committing to Evasion.

Accessories

There are various different accessories in the game. At first, just focus on using the accessories that give you the highest AP in each slot.

There are also “free” accessories that all new players should get:

Accessory	How to obtain
Tuvala Accessories	Tuvala accessories are starter accessories obtained from the Season Server. Try to push up your accessories to PEN if possible, but if you don’t have much time to play Season, then focus on your Weapons and Armor first.
PEN Capotia Necklace	You can obtain a FREE PEN Capotia Accessory from the Season Servers Special Reward. For your first season, it is recommended to get the PEN Capotia Necklace because it gives the most AP. You then want to create another Season character in the next season to get the PEN Capotia Belt, and finally the PEN Capotia Ring or Earring.
PEN Ring of Crescent Guardian	You can obtain a PEN Ring of Crescent Guardian by completing Jetina’s PEN Accessory quests. These are daily quests that take a minimum of 45 days to complete. Every new and returning player should complete these as early as possible for a highly discounted PEN accessory.

Common Starter PVE accessories:

• TET Black Distortion Earrings or TET Narc Ear Accessory (PEN Capotia Earring)
• TET Basilisk’s Belt (or PEN Capotia Belt)
• TET Ring of Crescent Guardian
• TET Ogre Ring/Laytenn’s Necklace (or PEN Capotia Necklace).

Crystals

Below is an example starter Crystal build for PVE. Some of the crystals are expensive. You can obtain the Rebellious Crystal by completing the main story questline. For more example crystal builds, including an end-game PVE crystal build, and PVP Crystal builds, check our Crystal Preset Guide.

This is an example PVP Build for Maegus using Damage Reduction Armors and going full Human Damage (glass cannon). For more example crystal builds, check our Crystal Preset Guide or the Class Discord.

This is an example PVP Build for Maegus using Evasion armors and wanting a more balanced generic build. For more example crystal builds, check our Crystal Preset Guide or the Class Discord.

Artifacts and Lightstones

There are a few different viable choices for both Artifacts and Lightstone combos. Maegu is the “Magic Damage” type so you want to go for Magic Accuracy and Magic Damage for offensive artifacts.

For PVE Lighstones there are a few different options to min-max. For certain spots, you may want to use Species damage combos (eg. The Wild: Demihumans, The Wild: Kamaslyvia, The Wild: Humans). Species damage combos perform better if you are reaching the monster AP caps at a certain zone.

A more generic PVE combo is listed below that is recommended for your class and will work at any spot.

You can also find more information about Artifacts and Lightstones, and how to obtain them, in our guide. We also have a list of Best in slot Artifacts and Lightstones.

Useful Links/Credits

I highly recommend checking out the Twin Class Discord and Maegu Class Discord for resources about your class. The class discords always have the most up-to-date information and tons of experienced players that can help with questions or gearing advice. I would like to give a shoutout to the Mod and Helper roles in the Twin and Maegu discord for all their hard work gathering resources. I would also like to thank Naru for reaching out and offering to help with the creation of this guide. You can find additional resources below, I honestly cannot recommend enough to join the discord.

Credits Disclaimer: Since there are now 26 BDO classes, it is impossible for me to keep class guides fully maintained. My main class is Ranger and I don’t claim to be the best in any class. Therefore, I use resources and recommendations from the Class discords since (as all other players would agree) this is the best source. I also ask for advice from friends who are more experienced in the class. Where possible, I credit specific players for information such as Add-ons, and combos. However, sometimes there is no player mentioned as the original sharer. If there are any issues with credit or you would like certain information removed/changed, please reach out to me!
