SUMMON THE ELEMENTS: ‘DOSA AWAKENING’ ARRIVES IN BLACK DESERT ONLINE OCTOBER 8

Pearl Abyss :

Amsterdam, The Netherlands — Oct 4, 2024 — Pearl Abyss, developer of the popular MMORPG Black Desert, released a new Developer Commentary video today revealing details around the highly anticipated Dosa Awakening character class set to launch on Tuesday, October 8. The Developer Commentary provides crucial insights into the update’s background and highlights its wide range of combat mechanics.

  This new class is designed around the philosophy of "Five Elements" — Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, and Earth. By playing with the character’s hybrid combat style and unique generative effects, Adventurers will experience dynamic, breathtaking action and effects unlike anything seen in other classes. These elements can amplify one another, creating spectacular combo and tactical gameplay.


What sets Dosa Awakening apart from other hybrid classes is his exceptional gap-closing performance. Even if he misses an opportunity to exploit an opening, he can remain in melee combat, engage in a Super Armor bout, and then perform an evasion skill to retreat and regain control from a distance.


Dosa Awakening draws inspiration from traditional East Asian philosophies, offering both ranged and melee options, with a playstyle that enables players to seamlessly switch between offensive and minor supportive roles in combat. His unique generative effect boosts damage for nearby allies when enemies are in close proximity.

The Developer Commentary video also touches upon the following topics:   Node War Update: In response to player feedback, Pearl Abyss is addressing concerns about the current version of Node Wars, which allowed easier participation at the cost of introducing some more luck-based factors. The new update will allow guilds that conquer a territory in the unlimited stats Conquest War to select the Node War rules of their territory for the following week, restoring some of the more complex strategic elements that players have missed. This will offer more options for advanced players while maintaining a simplified system for newcomers in territories like Balenos and Serendia. This change, aimed at balancing accessibility and strategy, is expected to roll out in the upcoming months.


Changes to Equipment and Accessories: The developer addressed community concerns over the complexity and frustration regarding build diversity surrounding Deboreka accessories and introduced a new tier of equipment, the Karazad accessories. Unlike current accessories, the Karazad Accessories will follow a more forgiving enhancement system, which means that upon enhancement failure, players' items will not be destroyed. This update also introduces customizable accessory stats through special crystals, adding versatility and flexibility to gear setups.


New Monster Zones: Pearl Abyss also announced plans to introduce four new monster zones in the Land of the Morning Light region, offering players fresh PvE content and bringing more life to this already breathtaking continent. With the release of the Karazad Accessories, the zones — including Dokkebi Forest and Honglim Base — will provide opportunities to obtain crafting materials for these new items. These new areas are designed to bring memorable settings and unique monsters, expanding the exploration and gameplay options for players seeking new challenges.
