The best MMO combat systems place 1 – Black Desert Online
The sandbox MMORPG Black Desert Online not only has one of the most beautiful character editors in the MMO world. The online role-playing game from Korea also has, in your opinion, one of the best combat systems of all MMOs. 19 percent voted for Black Desert Online in our survey – thus BDO shares the top spot with World of Warcraft from the previous page, which also garnered the same percentage of supporters.
Black Desert Online – Full freedom in the combat system
Meanwhile, the combat systems of Black Desert Online and World of Warcraft could not be more different. Black Desert Online relies entirely on dynamically action fights, which run similarly to TERA. You actively strike and try to hit your opponents using the crosshair.
When you are attacked, you either block or elegantly dodge. Each hero has tons of skills that they chain together into devastating combos. Especially in battles against large hordes of enemies or particularly big beasts, the spectacular combos full of special effects are a real treat for the eyes!
As beating up enemies is so much fun, people are also willing to accept that Black Desert Online is a gigantic grindfest in PvE. Because if the combat system is good, you just want to beat enemies. Again and again.
Black Desert Online – Awakening offers a completely new playstyle
Also cool in Black Desert Online: the Awakening. Once your hero reaches level 56 and “awakens,” they receive a special awakening weapon that often radically changes their playstyle. Each hero has only one weapon that clearly defines their playstyle. For example, the warrior fights as a tank with sword and shield.
In the Awakening version, he receives a two-handed sword that turns him into an offensive damage dealer. Other heroes, such as the ranged elf, receive a sword that allows them to deal damage in close combat. And the dark magician, who fights with claws, suddenly wields a sickle and causes wide swings with area damage.
So if you are into a completely free, dynamic, and combo-oriented combat system, you can’t go wrong with Black Desert Online.
