The new mobile MMORPG Black Desert Mobile has launched worldwide. What is the best class to start with? We provide you with an overview of the 5 classes and what playstyle they are suitable for.
How many classes are there in Black Desert Mobile? The game launches here in Europe with 5 classes: There are 3 melee classes and 2 ranged classes.
In South Korea, the MMORPG is already much more advanced, where players can choose between 12 classes – they already have the advanced “Awakening” weapons. But that’s still future music here in Europe.
What do you need to know at the beginning? At the beginning, only the class needs to be selected. There are hardly any other decisions to make, as the classes in Black Desert Mobile are “Race- and Genderlocked”. Therefore, you have no choice of race or gender.
However, you should pay attention to choosing a reasonable family name. Because it will be displayed behind each of your characters. You need an item to change the name again.
There is no “Holy Trinity” in Black Desert Mobile of Tank/Healer/Damage Dealer, but all classes can manage solo.
If you are looking not only for tips and tricks about the classes but also helpful beginner advice, you should definitely check out our big tips & tricks article.
Black Desert Mobile: The 5 Classes
The Warrior relies on sword and shield. He is suitable for players looking for a one-on-one. A classic shield warrior, a balanced melee fighter.
The Giant is the more offensive variant in melee, a kind of berserker. He comes with a huge battle axe and has some area skills in close combat.
The Valkyrie relies on sword and shield like the warrior, but also brings buff and healing skills. Even though there are no “typical” supporters in Black Desert Mobile, the Valkyrie has the closest inclination in that direction.
The Ranger is a classic archer with a longbow and dagger. She is especially suitable for farming mobs, is quick, and deals a lot of damage. She is considered a good class for beginners.
The Mage fights with a staff and the help of elements. She has a high damage output. As is often the case with mages, she is considered a class with a high “skill ceiling”, a class that requires skill but pays off.
Black Desert Mobile: The Best Class
Which class is the best? There is no overwhelmingly strong favorite. According to general opinion, all classes are relatively close.
At the moment, Black Desert Mobile in our version is still at the beginning, later more classes will be added, which could change that:
- Currently, the ranger can be most readily recommended as “the best class” for beginners. With her range, she can farm quickly.
- The Valkyrie might be the “best class” for players with a lot of experience in mobile MMORPGs.
However, players who prefer warrior, giant, or mage can also play these classes without any issues.
Let us know in the comments which class you chose in Black Desert Mobile and how you are progressing with that class.
