Black Desert Gets Nova Awakening & Succession On Console

The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Black Desert will be getting a double update today in the form of the Nova succession and awakening. These new updates will change how the new class plays and make her even stronger throughout the game. The awakening gives Nova a new weapon, Sting, which according to the team has been "created from the thorn of Quturan and the distorted goddess' power". Sting can take the form of a sword or scythe. Meanwhile, the succession uses her Morning Star and Quoratum for balanced combat, while granting her control of Axian, the King of the Dead. Axian can be summoned by sacrificing Nova's Thornwood Guards and portions of her own HP. You can read all of the updates that have been added to the game here as we have the ones specifically for the Nova class below.

• Awakening and Succession for Nova, the true queen of thorns, have been released. Reach Lv.56 or higher and you can proceed with Awakening by accepting [Nova Awakening] Invitation from S from the Black Spirit's main quest and completing the following series of quests. Also, you can choose Succession for your Nova by completing [Nova Succesion] King of the Dead that continues right after the Awakening quest.
• Added quest [Valencia] Dawn of a New Age where you can obtain a Pearl outfit (7 Days) for Nova. You can accept the quest above from the Black Spirit by completing [Lv.56 Valencia] Eastern Sands Kingdom Story on Nova.
