There are currently 14 different classes to choose from in Black Desert Online, all with their own unique traits and playstyle. Also do check out our interview with James Heo, COO of Pearl Abyss and our review of Black Desert Online.If you’re just getting into Black Desert Online, or if you’re looking to switch things up, you’ll want to know more about all of the game’s classes. There will be two new events for Musa users to participate in, you can find more details at the main site. The Maehwa class will be available in SEA servers by March 29th. They're certainly welcome into group combat, but their roles will be fairly limited as they lack the survivability to engage in the front line, and sieges can be fairly tricky to find a window to attack and not wind up dead. One of the benefits available to the class comes in the form of being able to lock down single opponents long enough to usually kill them, making them excellent for solo PvP and PvE. While not exactly built for taking hits, their mobility more than makes up for it by allowing them to dash around the battlefield. Maehwa on the other hand, while similar to the Musa in most ways employ a very interesting style of combat, being deadly from close quarter fighting, yet still being able to unleash pain from a distance in a beautiful hybrid blend of melee and range. The Musa class is already available in SEA servers. They still run very light armor and rely heavily on mobility to sustain them in fights, making sieges and larger fights tricky for novice players.

This gives them a little more utility in group fights in regards to PvP, and makes their life a bit easier in PvE grinding.

The key difference between the two involves Bladers being more AoE centric in their play style, as a few of their skills allow for a broader scope of damage. They are very adept at being able to weave in and out of close range and mid range combat to utilize their hybrid mechanics. While nearly identical to the Maehwa, Musa have a few differences in their skill set and general combat mindset. He is extremely dynamic, fast paced, and has the capability to switch between close and mid-range combat allowing both new and experienced players to tackle most PvP and PvE scenarios without too much of a hassle. Musa is a melee style class that handles a sword as a primary weapon, and a bow for a secondary.
