Black Desert Online will soon introduce a new class in the Korean version. The Hashashin now has its first character trailer, showcasing the Persian assassin in action. Black Desert demonstrates that it has the coolest combat system in an MMORPG.
What’s new: On July 3, Pearl Abyss released the character trailer for the new, now 20th class Hashashin, after teasing it in June.
This is the Hashashin – A Persian Assassin
The Hashashins, also known as the Assassins, were a medieval organization of assassins in the Middle East.
This is what the Hashashin can do: In Black Desert Online, the Hashashin, equipped with a Persian saber (Shamshir) and dual daggers, fights primarily in melee and occasionally summons sandstorms to harm his enemies or escape from precarious situations.
He can also pull his opponents towards him, perform impressive jumps, and move quickly from point A to B. With a kind of shadow step, the Hashashin moves even faster, and his combos appear very dynamic and action-packed in the trailer. Thanks to his passive skills, the Persian assassin is also supposed to be able to move even faster.
This likely makes the Hashashin one of the fastest melee fighters in Black Desert Online. Fast and deadly – typical assassin behavior.
Black Desert Online has the coolest combat system
The very dynamic and action-packed combat system in Black Desert Online is among the coolest, if not the coolest, in the entire MMORPG genre. In 2020, Black Desert Online is even booming, and player numbers are increasing significantly.
This is why the combat system is so cool: In Black Desert Online, you have the choice between 19 classes, making it 20 with the new Hashashin. These classes are divided into melee fighters, ranged fighters, spellcasters, tanks, and healers.
This makes each class very individual and plays differently in combat. However, all classes in Black Desert Online share one thing: the action combat system is very dynamic, fast, and feels fluid with the beautiful animations. The attacks and spells have a certain impact that players can enjoy wonderfully thanks to the effects and sounds.
It’s just fun to fight against groups of enemies and nasty bosses when it’s conveyed that every hit does significant damage and the hero is truly strong. Other MMORPGs with their tab-targeting and mini fireballs can’t compete with that.
The “The Elder Scrolls Online” YouTuber Dottz Gaming summarized this excellently in one of his videos about BDO:
This game has an incredible and immersive combat system and offers one of the best MMO combat experiences I’ve ever had. It plays really smoothly, the spell effects and audio feel both very impressive, and BDO is famous for its combat experiences.

In addition to the already action-packed combat, secondary weapons can be unlocked for every class in the endgame. Through the so-called Awaken, additional skills and combos are unlocked, and players can switch back and forth between their weapons and skills during combat.

Not many MMORPGs can match the fights in Black Desert Online. However, relatively fast-paced fights are also offered by Tera and Blade and Soul – also Asian MMORPGs.
