Maplestory Guide for Defensive Tactics
Crusaders have several gameplay(Maple Story Mesos) tactics they can use defensively. For instance, as long as they have at least one orb charged, they can use Coma with less than 5 orbs to stun enemies at any time. This becomes key when dealing with large mobs to minimize pot costs. Such a method is as follows: Stun the mob with coma. Power Strike a single monster repeatedly that no matter the number of orbs. Then, with 5 orbs, or if needed to keep control over the Maple Story mesos mob, stun the mob again and repeat. This is a very useful skill that many crusaders use which helps soloing.
At higher levels(Maplestory powerleveling), Crusaders also get Shout, an attack that stuns an enemy (95% chance) within a certain area, including those above or below you. It lasts a full 10 seconds with the skill maxed, unless the stun is interrupted. Rage provides a free 12 weapon attack boost for a party of 6. Their specific tactics also rack up fast experience at Gobies and they are also very fast killers at big mob spots like Himes.
