Black Desert Mobile: Rabam Skills

Rabam Skills are a powerful new system designed to elevate combat capabilities and deepen player customization. Rabam Skills are class-specific abilities, with each class gaining access to two unique skills that pack formidable power. Adventurers can equip and use both Rabam Skills simultaneously, unlocking new strategic possibilities in battle. Also, the damage of Rabam Skills increases significantly as they level up, making them the equivalent of an "ultimate attack." To acquire Rabam Skills, players must complete the story quest "Trials from the Ancient Times" and reach Level 70. When activated, these skills summon a character's illusion, visible only to the player, adding a visually striking flair to combat. Skill progression is achieved through 'Rabam Skillbooks: 1st/2nd Rabam Skill' which increase damage output and unlock advanced skill enhancements as levels rise.

Please refer to the Developer Notes for Adventurers for more information on the newly added Rabam Skills and Black Desert Mobile's upcoming updates and improvements, including class balance changes, enhancements to the Black Shrine, adjustments to the Nightmare content, and more.
