Link skill mules

Hey guys Im starting off in a new world and I was wondering what link skill mules I should make that are necessities. In other words, what the most important link skill mules i should be making? Thanks for the input.

My list of priorities is:
1. Kanna
2. Demon Avenger
3. Beast Tamer (like having half each of phantom's, Demon slayer's, and Kaiser's link)
4. Phantom (if you've got 85/90% crit rate or less)/Xenon (if you don't)
5. other one of the #3's
6. Cygnus Knights (as many slots as you can manage without sacrificing anything BEYOND this point that is, but at least one stack to start off; status resist to guard status, and element resist to pierce element reduction)
8. Zero (a bit like a half lumi with a full bonus of its own: Damage Reduction)
7. Luminous (if you've got less than 60% multiplicative PDR and/or you intend to fight chaos vellum/scarecrow)
8. Eunwol (once it comes out; while 10% death ignore rate is lowish, it can be useful in places where death must be rationed, such as CRA, or Normal/Hard Magnus, or even trade voyage perhaps)
9. Cannoneer (if your a mage)/Kaiser (if you're not a mage, seriously, magic guard already reduces more mp than your likely to have compared to hp)
10. Other one of the #9's
11. Demon Slayer
12.Hayato/Angelic Buster

Mercedes is a DECENT investment early on, but the investment goes WAY south later on when leveling becomes less important post 200, and when its bonus becomes nearly irrelevant in party play training post 165. In fact, in a few months, ALL of Maple World will be party play, so Elven Blessing's days are numbered

Also, if your class doesn't have a decent stance skill, knock off #12, and add Mihile's link skill to the TOP of the list.

DA, Kanna, Xenon for damage
Cannoneer, Kaiser, Beast Tamer for HP
Beast Tamer, Phantom for critical rate mainly
Zero, Luminous for Ignore Defense
Demon Slayer, Beast Tamer for Boss Damage

Mihile only if your main going to be a character who constantly gets knockbacked (Aka Marksmen and such)
Angelic Buster is a burst of attack for 10 seconds, not really useful compared to the others

DA, Kanna, Xenon should be the first three you make, 20% damage increase + 10% all stat
Then the rest just depends on preference

halfway

Type in "what are link skills you should get when starting fresh in maple" on google and click the first result, it will link you to a Basil thread that is probably helpful to you. Now you're wondering why I didn't link it..
I didn't link it because I'm not good at linking on basil.

can't you just look at all the link skills and decide for yourself?
Kanna, DA, xenon, DS, BT mainly. the rest up to what you need
