Black Desert Online – Which class should I play in 2025?

The Best Classes for PvE in the Endgame

Which classes are particularly suitable for PvE? In PvE, you can basically play any class in Black Desert. However, classes that can farm quickly and effectively are particularly useful. We distinguish not only between classes but also builds.

At the end of 2019, the first Succession builds were introduced. These are an evolution of the base skills of the class. Alternatively, there are the Awakening builds where a class “awakens” and thus changes.

Among the best builds are:

  • Maegu Succession
  • Wusa Succession
  • Maewa Succession
  • Striker Awakening
  • Nova Awakening
  • Hashashin Succession
  • Deadeye

Additionally, it should be mentioned again that the class Shai is particularly useful when it comes to life skills, which also belong to PvE. It is also quite strong otherwise,

What speaks for the Deadeye

Black Desert Deadeye Class

Behind the Deadeye stands the leader of the so-called Canary gang, who is known for her beauty and ruthlessness. Among the Cowgirl’s features are the projectiles she can use. The Deadeye can freely switch between regular and Marni projectiles:

  • Regular projectiles deal significant damage to single targets.
  • Marni projectiles are less harmful but compensate for that with a larger explosion radius that covers a wide area.

Of course, it also makes a difference whether the Deadeye is currently shooting at her enemies with a revolver or shotgun. Additionally, the Deadeye shines with good mobility and a fun play style.

Pro
  • Quite easy to learn
  • Good choice for grinding and PvP
  • High single-target damage
  • High mobility
  • Good AoE
Contra
  • Started weaker, which may have discouraged some players. But thanks to buffs, it is now a strong choice.
  • Does not withstand much damage.

What speaks for the Maegu

The Maegu is one of the two sister classes released in December 2022 and January 2023. She fights with the power of the fox goddess and uses a dagger. This allows her to deal very strong damage even in the early game.

She also has a special clone mechanic with which she can create an exact copy of herself and switch positions with it. However, this is not overly useful in PvE.

Pro
  • Strong even in the early game
  • Quite a large range for a melee fighter
  • Few actions per minute, which is good for beginners
Contra
  • Very squishy, who doesn’t pay attention dies quickly at the beginning

What speaks for the Wusa

Woosa Black Desert

The Wusa is the sister of the Maegu and focuses on the fan in her fighting style. With this, she conjures wind, clouds, and butterflies in combat and deals significant damage, especially in melee and mid-range.

Pro
  • Strong even in the early game
  • Lots of AoE damage
  • Quite easy to learn, without too many crazy combos
Contra
  • Very squishy, who doesn’t pay attention dies quickly at the beginning
  • Repetitive gameplay

What speaks for the Maewa

Black Desert

The Maewa focuses on sword and bow and is considered a master of Eastern martial arts. She emphasizes high mobility and flowing attacks. She scales very strong and achieves a high damage value.

Recently, the Maewa even received a buff.

Pro
  • Strong scaling
  • Has the highest single-target damage in the entire game
  • High mobility
  • Few actions per minute, which is good for beginners
Contra
  • Very squishy
  • Generally requires a lot of knowledge about BDO

What speaks for the Striker

Strikers are melee fighters who acquired their skills in countless street fights. From heavy blows to powerful kicks, their martial arts are incomparable. In the Awakening form, he can summon clones of himself that fight at his side.

Pro
  • Good damage
  • Enough AoEs
  • Good mobility and fun gameplay
  • Lots of CC
  • Compared to other classes in the ranking, he is rather tanky
Contra
  • A bit weak in the early game

What speaks for the Nova

Black Desert Nova Title

Nova is a warrior who uses a large shield and a mace as weapons. She has many AoE skills and also focuses on frost attacks. This allows her to freeze enemies over a large area.

The gameplay is as usual very action-packed and effect-rich. Like almost every class, she can charge at her enemies and control them with CC.

Pro
  • Strong damage
  • Enough AoE
  • Many actions per minute, making it more challenging but also more fun
  • Relatively easy to learn
Contra
  • Hard to master
  • Very squishy, which can lead to quick deaths

What speaks for the Hashashin

Black Desert Hashashin

The Hashashin is an assassin with strong attacks and much mobility. He can be played in both Succession and Awakening variant.

With the Succession build, you have fewer actions per minute, and it plays somewhat easier overall. The Awakening build puts a bit more emphasis on mobility, and those who master him can have even more fun.

Pro
  • Among the highest damage in the game
  • High mobility
  • Fun gameplay with many combos
Contra
  • Hard to master, especially as Awakening
  • Rather weak in the early game
  • Very squishy overall, who isn’t careful dies often
