Hayato Storyline

Hayato, Japan. June 21, 1582. Honnou-ji, Kyoto. Although the brutal warlord Oda Nobunaga was cementing his control of Japan, it wasn t enough to slake his thirst for power. Seeking immortality and to become a new demon king, he prepared a ritual at Honnou-ji in Kyoto. The feudal lords banded together and waged a fierce battle with the Oda forces in a desperate last bid to stop the evil lord. While the armies clashed outside, the legendary samurai, Hayato, fought his way into the temple and challenged Oda himself to stop the ritual. While the two traded blows, a pillar of light erupted from the temple, casting all it enveloped into a stranged world. Weakened by the unfamiliar energy of this world, Hayato must regain his strength and battle once more against the spread of Nobunaga s dark ambitions.

Hayato Notes

Although Hayato is male as far as the story is concerned, you ll be able to play as female or male version of Hayato.

After the tutorial at Honnou-ji, your journey will continue at Momijigaoka, in the Mushroom Shrine area of Zipangu.

Hayato must have one of his special katana equipped in order to use all of his skills. Make sure that the weapon type says katana in the item description.

Since he is from ancient Japan and his primary language is Japanese, Hayato s voice is in Japanese. His animated video has subtitles, and he occasionally speaks when performing some skills. The female version of Hayato has also been given voiceovers when performing certain skills.

Hayato and his Sengoku allies and enemies are able to communicate with the denizens of their new home through the magic of Maple World. Thus, their text dialogue will be translated.

The Tot s Know-How guide system has been enabled for Hayato.

Katana for Hayato have been added to the wares of many weapon vendors.

Each Hayato character has its own individual Cash Inventory not shared with other characters.

How are DBs compared to Hayato

From your person preference, how are DBs Dual Blades compared to Hayato. Are they more fun or less fun compared to Hayato. If they re more fun, what do they have that Hayato doesn t. I m debating on making a DB without trying Hayato. Below is a list of opinions from MapleStory players

Much more fun than my DB. One of the big downers for me is that DB s need NX mastery books for almost all advancements. That s like an instant class killer for me. Then, just the fluid play-style of Hayato convinces me to never try another class.

DB has more movement mobility and Hayato has more attacking mobility. DB is stronger than Hayato but Hayao has a pretty unique play system.

If you ask me the only thing DB has over Hayato is shadow partner and a solid 1v1 attack skill that doesn t suck lol. The only real comparison you can make is that flying assaulter chains into tornado spin/bloody storm like Hayato chains his spinning rush skill into his assaulter like skill. Other than that, I d say they re two completely different experiences. Try them both and see what you like the most. Also, I think Hayato overall has more mobility than Dual blades. If you chain skills correctly they can clear large distances in no time flat. Plus Vapor blade when combined with Falcon dive gives them far superior vertical mobility.

Hayato- Sucks mp dry, I am sorry but he is drinking potions like water, minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless. No FJ, in an age where nearly every job has some sort of FJ, Hayato not having a FJ is eh That being said a Hayato moblity is still very good and you can certainly get from point A to point B- but you wont be flash jumping.

Hayato is pretty fun, but I feel like he s kind of overdone. Still prefer DBs even though they have less things. DBs have simplicity and movement and Hayato just has a bunch of stuff.

Hayato uses too much MP.

QUESTION Hayato uses way too much MP, which one of the downsides of the class. Anyone got thoughts on that. ANSWER Get Jr. boogie 1 Familiar, which helps a lot. 15 of mp every so seconds. Also, toggle off Battoujutsu Stance if you are not training.

What Hayato has taught me.

Hayato has taught me to not spam the up key when approaching portals as it triggers Vapor Blade. You are not the only one looking retarded trying to leave a map, just to jump 50 ft in the air.

What are the 4th Job Skills that requires Mastery Book.

Hayato 4th Job skills that requires Mastery Book are Shinsoku, Falcon Dive, Hitokiri Strike, Iron Skin, Jinsoku and Cleaver.

What mystery mastery book should I get from the event.

Upon reaching Level 70 Hayato, the GM NPC will speak to you to reward 1 of the 4 Mastery Book for 4th Job Skill which are Shinsoku 30, Hitokiri Strike 30, Jinsoku 30 and Cleaver 30. I recommend choosing Cleaver as your free mastery book as it significantly boost your damage by 30 and ignores 35 enemy defense.

Is Willow Dodge not working for anyone else.

QUESTION It s maxed and I never get the damage buff. ANSWER It most definitely works but the problem is that its proc rate is 60 of 25 0.6 x 0.25 0.15 which means at max level, you have 15 chance of activating and stacking the buff. Once you maxed Jinsoku, it will be a easier to get the buff. It s a lot more common to see it hit x5. It doesn t last long and it isn t a skill you can rely on, but if it were a skill that activated and stacked to 5 all of the time with ease, it d be over powering in a sense.

Does Shouryuusen combos not work.

QUESTION Like I can t seem to chain dankuusen or whirlwind cut to it. I go into the air, but the attack doesn t hit the launched monsters. Not really lagging but I guess I am. Anyone else have a problem. ANSWER It s because they re dead before they launch into the air. Try it on monsters 20 levels higher than you.

Is Battoujutsu Soul Skill Messed Up.

QUESTION Am I the only one who had my Critical Rate at 30 stance added 25 before, but after putting 3 points into it, have it down to 28. ANSWER Battoujutsu Soul intentionally reduces Critical Rate until the skill is around level 6.

Adding 1 Skill Point into Bloodletter upon 4th Job Advancement.

QUESTION Shouldn t Blood Letter be a one-pointer at the beginning. Usually upgraded poison is worth one point Thief experience. ANSWER Unlike the Thief DOT skill, it does not stack. The difference between max level Merciless Blade and Level 1 Bloodletter is 2 damage per second and a 1 higher activation rate. It s not worth it at all.

What would you suggest a Hayato strive for with Inner Ability.

ANSWER Critical rate, total damage, or boss damage. Something along those lines.

Hayato Rai Sanrenzan additional attack chance not activating.

QUESTION I maxed Rai Sanrenzan, so it has 30 chance of activating bonus hit green numbers. But I see it maybe once every 10 attacks, is it just me. ANSWER 30 chance to activate is only happens on the 2nd and 3rd slash of Rain Sanrenzan. When it successfully occurs, it will pop up a green number instead of red critical nor yellow regular damage.

Is Hitokiri Strike bugged.

QUESTION Hitokiri Strike Issen if you use the JMS names is meant to add Critical Rate during its buff after you use it. I see the buff icon appear at the top right, but no additional Critical Rate is added to my stats page. Is this Critical Rate Boost hidden. Can someone who has it maxed confirm if you see more Critical damage with it up. Or is it just plain bugged. ANSWER With maxed Hitokiri Strike, you will notice the difference in amount of critical hits after using it. The Critical Rate boost is hidden from the Stats Window.

A quick tip to help you guys out with Vapor Blade

I repeatedly have other Hayato asking how I use Vapor blade with out the landing delay sheathing your sword in time consuming manner. It s easy. Just use any Sanrezan skill right after Vapor Blade and spam away.

Can you fuse Wakizahis.

You can t do it in JMS. I d assume you can t do it in GMS, either, but I haven t tried yet.

Hayato quests necessary.

QUESTION Is the questline for hayato necessary. Are there any rewards. ANSWER Not necessary.

Hayato Ap build.

QUESTION Is it all STR. I looked at some guides but it didnt say anything. ANSWER After the Tempest Update, you don t have to put AP Ability Points in secondary stats. Click the big auto-assign button and allow MapleStory to distribute all AP into STR Strength for Hayato as he is a warrior.

Trouble with Shouryuusen

QUESTION Is it me or i can t link combination skills with Shouryuusen. ANSWER you press the skills in rapid succession, one after the other. Don t wait for the animation just press the buttons.
