What happens when a noob enters a VRMMORPG with no guidance and an overactive imagination? Just ask the most broken characters in NewWorld Online, whoeach have exceedingly overpowered abilities,yet still struggle to keep up with one particular girl.

While it would be easy to simply assess each player’s [STR] stats and evaluate their rankings from there, the results would not produce a well-rounded representation of their power during battle. As Maple has eloquently proven, one can refrain from upgrading their strength or attack points and still become an unstoppable powerhouse in their own right.
Specialty:Agility and Stealth
First Event Ranking:2nd
Stealth and speed are the name of the game, as Dread (also spelled Dred) can cut his opponents down before they even notice his presence. His surefootedness reaches God-like proportions thanks toShinsoku, which renders him practically invisible to the naked eye. In the unlikely event he gets cornered, this green guerrilla can always rely on the perks ofStout Guardianto avoid death’s door.
The downfall to his overwhelming swiftness is a lackluster defense, and those capable ofcatching the ninja assassinoff guard don’t need much power behind their punches to get the job done. Nevertheless, Dread’s duel-wielding daggers are nothing to be trifled with, as his skills with a blade are top-notch, too.
Class:Shield and (Short) Sword
Specialty:Gambling with Death
First Event Ranking:9th
In Kuromu’s case, “whatdoeskill you makes you stronger” because, ironically, he has gained most of his skill sets while flirting with death; he would be eliminated from any potential deadpool bets, considering how regularly he is forced to respawn. However, each time, Chrome comes back stronger and has used his experiences to create hisown defensive fighting style, with some bonus battle healing to boot.

Chrome scored some unique armor and newfound skills after his solo mission into the Tomb of the Dead, where he defeated the Boss (with Syrup’s assistance). He subsequently receives a huge confidence boost whenever hisDead or Aliveability comes into play, as a fatal blow has a 50% chance of being brushed aside, while his elusiveStout Guardianskill makes Chrome even harder to kill.
Specialty:Enhanced [HP] and Agility, traditional weaponry
First Event Ranking:6th
This katana-wielding beauty is one of the few people capable of keeping up with Sally’s speed, and Kasumi’s selective skillset is almost solely focused on improving her swordsmanship and granting temporary stat increases (although often at a cost).
First of the Swords: Heat Hazeis a useful manipulation tactic that distorts the victim’s vision, whileSeventh of the Swords: Crushturns her into a demolition expert.Beginning Tachi: Voidisthis heroine’s best attack by far,granting her a quick makeover and incredible power; however, Kasumi’s skill activation in the light novels comes with much greater consequences than in the anime, which is extremely lenient in comparison.
Class:Hammermaidens
Specialty:Strength, overpowered weapons
These timid twins are as naive as Maple when it comes toMMORPGgameplay; however, after following a similar strategy, they have theoretically become the strongest fighters around. Unfortunately, the sisters assigned no skill points to their agility or vitality, so while Yui and Mai’sBerserker builds provide brutal resultson the battlefield, they are essentially sitting ducks; these twins need constant support and supervision to survive any conflict.

With the Maple Tree Guild’s support, Yui and Mai can incapacitate most enemies with a few well-placed blows, usually favoring theirAftershockandDouble Stampattacks while swinging their ridiculously oversized hammers around. Their effectiveness improves considerably onceDestroyeris acquired, allowing each sister to control deadly duel-wielding weapons singlehandedly.
Specialty:Fire Magic
First Event Ranking:4th
The leader of the Flame Emperors gives off strong warmonger vibes, and although Mii has the power to back it up, her ego is rather fragile behind closed doors. Her charm and charisma have amassed the largest following in NewWorld Online,while her fiery powerscan cover a vast area, taking out multiple units simultaneously, so her loyal subordinates have little to fear and eagerly rally to her side.
Mii’s strongest spell,Flame Prison,encapsulates her foes in a burning, virtually indestructible cage that deals damage over time; however, the spellcasting takes quite some time.Flare Accelputs a spin on ice-skating and is great for increasing movement speed, whereasSelf-Destructis obviously only used as a last measure, as Mii becomes a kamikaze bomber in the hopes of taking her enemy down with her.
Class:Swashbuckler
Specialty:Duel-wielding swordsmaiden, enhanced Agility
Although shearrived late in the gameand missed the first event, not making it onto competitors' radars allowed Sally to sneak in and dominate without much issue (after racking up some substantial stats of her own). Sally’s intense speed is almost unmatched and, when accompanied by her intuitive reflexes, is often mistaken for a specialized skill that allows her to strike down her foes and evade most attacks with ease.

For someone whose first skill boosted their fishing competency, this gamer girl has developed into one of the strongest players around, capable of singlehandedly taking out entire guilds at a time. ActivatingSword Dance, Coax Attack,andIllusionsis arguably her best combo (as of Season 1), while Sally’s natural talents, and flamethrowingOboro, take the credit for most of her success.
Specialty:Great Swordsman, Allrounder
First Event Ranking:1st
The leader of the Congregation of the Holy Swords guild has most opponents running in fear, and even the almightly Maple had a brush with death after taking Payne head-on.This Paladin is so potentagainst Maple in particular because most of his skills focus on Piercing Attacks, leaving the Great Shielder (and any other foe) practically defenseless against his advances.
Payne is arguably the only player to give Maple any major cause for concern, especially after he nearly depletes her HP with just aDefense StrikeandSword of Judgmentcombo. Much like his nemesis, Payne has also picked up theStout Guardianskill, allowing him to defy death with one HP (meaning he also technically classifies as a Shielder).
Specialty:High [VIT] Defence, Poison Damage
First Event Ranking:3rd
It seems absurd for someone who maxed out their defense stats to top the charts; however, Kaede Honjou’s beginner’s luck (and complete disregard for gaming mechanics) benefits her greatly. This noob defies all logic with her fighting style and has subsequently becomethe most broken characterin NewWorld Online (if not Isekai history), thanks to her endless supply of secret skills and weapons.
Some of Maple’s top techniques incorporate herMachine Godmecha ability, the protectiveLoving Sacrificetroop shield, her paralyzingHydrapoison, the demonicAtrocitytransformation, the nullifyingDevour,and much, much more! Maple’s oversized flying turtle,Syrup, also packs a mighty punch, adding to the Great Shielder’s omnipotence. Nobody knows what outlandish combo this energetic Guild Leader will pull out her sleeve next, but it’s guaranteed to entertain (and likely make her more invincible, somehow!)
