Improved Scholar Class

The female class Scholar, the 27th class available in Black Desert Console, is an alchemist and a master manipulator of gravity. Using her two hammer types, Hammers and Gravity Cores, Scholar attacks with swiftness and immense power. Her command of gravity enables her to trick enemies with unpredictable movements and overwhelming counterforce.

Xbox and PlayStation players will benefit from a slew of upgrades in response to PC player feedback. Scholar's mobility skills on inclined terrain, such as Gravity Anchor-Attraction, Gravity's Grip, and One Giant Leap, have been fixed. The team increased her overall speed of combat by adjusting the animation of key attacking skills, expanding her combo options, and improving her baseline mobility by increasing the speed on mobility skills. Lastly, the dev team improved her most powerful CC skill, Flow: Golden Thunder, to increase its attack area size based on falling height. Adventurers who utilize terrain tactically will be able to bring down the thunder upon their opponents!

Community Fiesta On March 2

This coming Saturday, March 2, Pearl Abyss has invited select Los Angeles, California-based Black Desert fans to attend this year's second big Adventurers' Oasis Community Event – an anniversary fiesta celebrating eight years of Black Desert Online. There will be a meet-and-greet with the Black Desert team, a cosplay contest, exclusive merch, food, drinks, fun activities, and a live music performance.
