Black Desert’s 26th new class Maegu has been released.Since the release of Woosa, many adventurers have shown great interest in Maegu, the older sister.
First of all, Maegu is a long-range character who uses an amulet called ‘Holyungbu’ as her main weapon and uses the unique characteristics of her alter ego and agile movement to perform powerful magic.
Her clones are created when using certain skills. The alter ego’s family name, character name, guild name, ranking, etc. are all displayed, and it is also visible on the minimap, so it can be difficult for opponents who see it as two characters. In addition, since Maegu can switch to the clone with the touch of a button when the alter ego is created, we expect that Maegu will be able to continue her unique play depending on this utilization, especially in PvP.
In addition, the most important thing we focused on while developing her was agile movement and skill linkage. Maegu has a variety of movement skills and can be linked among several attack skills, so you can play while moving swiftly. Therefore, if you get used to the feeling of skills, you can connect them like water flowing. However, by arranging and combining powerful skills with a little casting time, we adjusted it as much as possible so that the difficulty was not too high in PvE.
The twin sister Maegu will be released on January 18th.
Thank you again for your interest and expectations for Maegu, and we will prepare well to become a high-quality character by focusing more until the release.
Please have fun. thank you!
