How to defeat Shila in MapleStory? Shila is one of the bosses in the Chaos Challenge, requiring a level of 180 to enter, with a match duration of 10 minutes. A team of up to 10 people can challenge her. Many players find this boss quite challenging. In this article, we will go over some strategies and tips for defeating her. If you haven't successfully completed this challenge yet, make sure to read on to learn how to tackle this boss.

To have an effective strategy against the boss, it's crucial to understand her well. Her attack power is 295,500, defense is 226,500, and she has 25% defense penetration. These are her basic attribute stats. In the new Chaos Challenge, this boss has added some new skill mechanisms. Understanding these clearly will allow for a more targeted approach in combat.

The newly added skill "Life Steal," allows Shila to randomly select a character to be trapped in an altar. If the altar is not destroyed within a certain time, the trapped teammate will immediately become exhausted, and during the altar's existence, Shila will recover health. After using this move, focus most of your attacks on the altar to destroy it as quickly as possible, which will save your teammate and prevent the boss from regaining health.

"Stacking" is another newly added move. At the start of the challenge, the stacking effect will be displayed at the top. Each time a character dies, the stacking effect increases by one layer, making the boss stronger with each layer. This move becomes even more powerful with stacking. During this period, try to avoid character deaths, or else the boss will become much harder to deal with later on.

She also has skills similar to aerial jumps. When she uses these, use displacement effects to stay away from her, as being hit will cause a few seconds of dizziness, disrupting the attack rhythm. Be sure to dodge when the boss emits purple light, and then choose the right moment to attack after successfully avoiding the skill.

This concludes the sharing of tips and strategies for defeating Shila in MapleStory. Compared to Akayl, the difficulty of challenging Shila is actually much lower. By mastering the timing and form of her skill releases, you can effectively use your moves to output damage and dodge, allowing for a quicker conclusion to the battle.
