To Mods: I know this is not the correct section but Mercedes section doesn't exist yet and I'll like to get some feedback to improve my guide before moving it somewhere else so...thanks


Background Story:

Long ago, five legendary Maple heroes fought black mage who was attempting to take over the Maple World. Black Mage was sealed successfully in this battle, however, right before defeated, the black mage cast an evil curse on all heroes which made them frozen.

Aran was froze in the place where they fought the Black Mage, the island Rien, which later become an cursed icy land due to the curse.

Freed died, after hiding the egg Afrien left behind which later pick up by Evan due to injuries. Afrien was injured severely and rested in a cave near Rien for a long time, until today. However, he warped Mercedes back to her hometown using all his might before lying down to rest.

Mercedes fainted after the battle, and wake up finding herself in a cave of Rien with Freed and Afrien nearby, here, Afrien use all his leftover energy to warp Mercedes back to Elluel.

The land of Elluel starts freezing due to the curse Black Mage cast. Her people request her to fulfill their last wishes which the last request is to go to the gate of Elluel and close it, this might be the reason why Elluel was unaccessible even though it's just beside Ellinia. Eventually, the people, the elders, and even Mercedes herself, frozen.

Century after, Mercedes wake up and found out that her town is still under frozen state. Here, Mercedes starts her chain of quests to recover her town and prepare to fight the Black Mage again.

Info :
Like all archers, Mercedes uses DEX as her main stat and STR as her secondary attribute. You could add STR according to your need, as an Archer, only your weapon would require STR aside of 130 and 140 sets.

Do take note that Mercedes possess the skill "Physical Training" which grant you an additional 30 STR and DEX permanently.

You will also Receive the skill "Willpower of Alliance" which adds 5 to all stat and wa/ma later on during the "Alliance Rising" Patch.

Mercedes uses Dual-bowgun as her weapon and doesn't require arrows. Mercedes uses magic arrows instead which is an equipment in place of shield and grants infinite projectiles. Magic arrows have no slots, however, it can be potential. Also, Dual-bowgun is a two handed weapon despite she has something else in the shield slot.
