Best runes this season When a slot says "Pick one", both runes are playable: take the one that fits how you play. Helm: both are playable, but I prefer Crown Soul's extra 10% unit damage reduction over Abyssal Rift's poison, unless you play a diving class. Armour: Flower War triggers on skills whose tooltip shows the DAMAGE tag without RANGED (here: Maelstrom, Forge of War, Bonebreaker), and its +25% defence does not count toward the defence caps on passives. Bracers: Diving Eagle is a must if you run lance cavalry in your warband. It costs 3, so drop Yang Fire VII for it. If you don't run Buckler or Poleaxe units, take Yang Fire VII and VIII on the armour instead.

The Class

Maul is a bruiser class. It offers mobility, and constant DPS or high burst depending on your build.

You either charge your spells, or combo them with one of the 2 combo starters: Mighty Mjolnir and Mountain Breaker. After a combo starter, a chargeable spell instantly releases its full charge, and a combo spell instantly releases its final hit. That follow-up deals 74% of its normal damage.

There are plenty of ways to play it. Both ultimates are worth it, and you can even play without an ultimate. I prefer Forge of War in general: it is a heavy CC with good range, and it also removes CC from you. Builds without mobility are playable too.

Spells

Mountain Breaker (combo starter)

  • The only spell you cannot replace: it is a combo starter, an armour shredder (-20% Defence on hit enemies for 6s) and a CC removal, with a low cooldown.
  • You take it for what it sets up, not for its own damage.

Mighty Mjolnir (combo starter)

  • The mobility spell of the class, and the second combo starter.
  • I highly recommend the builds with mobility, even more if you are learning the class or trying to improve.
  • It gives you an escape: you move much faster than a normal sprint, but it still uses stamina.
  • Low cooldown.

Maelstrom (combo it)

  • Probably the best spell of the class right now.
  • Its final spin makes you immune to CC (except Winded), and it deals decent damage.
  • It still costs stamina, but since the Season 28 overhaul you can cast it with an empty stamina bar.
  • Good for dives in general (artillery, exotics, even some pike units). Made for flanking more than for frontline-to-frontline fights.

Bonebreaker (combo it, or charge it)

  • Constant DPS, and unblockable at full charge.
  • Good pick to farm frontlines.
  • You move slowly while you charge it, so enemy units can punish you.
  • The only spell of the class you can play without a combo starter: you charge it yourself, you skip the 74% damage cut, and a full charge costs well under half your stamina.

Earthsplitter (combo it)

  • Always at least decent.
  • Dismounts riders, deals good damage, and fires instantly after a combo starter, so you can hit and run with it.
  • 8s cooldown + dismount + CC + burst damage.

Strike and Grapple (ultimate, the grab)

  • It still surprises people.
  • A good pick even if Maul is not your main class. In attack, trap someone and drop them from the wall. In defense, stop climbers: knock them down with your horse, then grab them instantly.
  • A bit of a coin flip, since teamplay can disrupt it, but not always.

Forge of War (ultimate)

  • Strong since its Season 15 buff. It took several nerfs after that, and the Season 28 overhaul buffed it again (it now hits up to 8 targets).
  • It removes CC from you, then gives 2 phases of CC:
    • Phase 1: Concussed in melee. You can ult a rider and Concussed stops them on their horse, but they can escape it by dismounting.
    • Phase 2: an unblockable ground slam that knocks up everything around it, with good range.
  • Good in frontline-to-frontline fights, on flanks and in 1v1s.

  3. FixSource ↗
    • Fixed an incorrect rune buff display regarding the Maul rune [Typhon's Demise].
  4. FixSource ↗
    • Fixed the issue where the skills [Chain Dart & Scimitar] - Scorpion's Snare, [Dual Blades] - Marked for Death, [Poleaxe] - Rough Justice, [Maul] - Strike and Grapple, and [Pike] - Sky Dragon (used after Ultimate) would occasionally cause an abnormal reduction in skill cooldown.

    • [Rockslide Smash]: Now reduces the enemy's defenses by 20% (was 12%). Improved the overall feel of the skill by enabling you to interrupt the backswing earlier and chain in combo attacks.
