Transcendent Class
Developer Comment
Ascension and Awakening Characters combine into one, being reborn as Transcendent Classes.
Adventurers can choose to master one of two weapons through Skill Training, and gain a unique passive ability based on the selected mastery.
This allows a variety of playstyles within the same class depending on your choice.
In addition, Skill Levels have been expanded to Lv 20, making them even more powerful.
Try out the Transcendent Classes freely on the test server with your Character and skills of choice.
- Added Warrior, Ranger, Witch, and Sage to be previewed.
ㆍMore Classes will be added across multiple updates.
Major Changes
Developer Comment
As Attack Speed and Move Speed across all classes have gradually increased over the course of the game,
adjustments have continued in a direction that improved the classes' performance
in order to preserve Class identity and the thrill of combat. As a result, the overall pace of combat has become faster.
Black Desert Mobile is not just about dazzling action, but also about the satisfaction of direct control, and how fun it feels.
However, the current pace of combat has become excessively fast, increasing the burden of controls, and making it harder to fully experience the action.
To address these, Transcendent Classes keep the satisfying actions while reducing stressful controls, with some adjustments made to the combat pace compared to existing classes.
We will continue to pay attention to your gameplays to capture both fun combat and control.
Thank you for your understanding our intent behind Transcendent Classes.
① Skill Training
- Select an Enhancement for the passive skill in [Skill] Menu to master Ascension Weapon or Awakening Weapon.
ㆍDepending on the selection, the default stance/Basic Attack/Evasion animations change, and a passive ability for the weapon is granted.

- Transcendent Class skills can reach up to Lv 20.
- Skill EXP can be gained by using the Skillbooks below for each range of level.

③ Others
