In MapleStory, your goal is to enhance your character and unlock their potential. To do that, your Inner Ability is essential because it can boost your damage, crit rate, or attack speed. However, not all Inner Abilities are suited for every class, and each has its best ability.

MapleStory: Best Inner Ability for all classes
The best Inner Ability for all classes in MapleStory differs because each class has specific requirements and stats to boost. Your ultimate goal is to get Legendary tier-Inner Abilities. However, rolling for them can be challenging due to their low odds. Thankfully, as far as we know, these weren’t affected by lower probability rates like the cubes.
These are the best inner abilities for the classes within the Bowman, Warriors, Pirates, Magician, and Thieves class categories.
