Black Desert’s 28th class, Dosa, from Soeul, the Land of the Morning Light, is coming to you, adventurers.
Dosa is a class that uses the Hwando and Gombangdae as main and secondary weapons, respectively.
Cut down the enemy with the heat of the sword, which symbolizes the energy of the sheep, or through Gombangdae, which symbolizes negative energy, the magic of Unsa is performed through clouds and fog with cold energy.
Sometimes, by combining the energy of these two yin and yang, you can attack the enemy with the power of ‘Taegeuk’.
In particular, the Dosa’s main weapon, the Hwando, was designed to be used naturally and disciplinedly in its movements and combinations.
We designed a skill linkage that is constantly connected no matter what key is pressed, and can use powerful sword skill along with the casting motion, making it easy for adventurers who encounter the swordsman to learn the key combos, while also providing a sense of action that can be felt from the skill at the same time.
In this way, ‘Dosa’ has been prepared as an easy to learn, yet in-depth class that allows you to respond to various situations in terms of skill connection.
We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to all the adventurers who are experiencing Dosa through the Black Desert Research Institute today.
We will prepare well for the adventurers who are waiting for the Dosa on the official server.
※ Some details, such as Dosa skills, may change when the official server is updated.

Adventurers can also enjoy more intense battles to obtain higher Solare emblems.
In this season, locations familiar to adventurers will be used as battlefields, while changes will be made to exclusive equipment items.
As bonus damage reduction according to defense was added to Arena of Solare, its attack power also increased accordingly (255 → 264 based on Kzarka).
In order to adjust some equipment, Narc’s Ear Accessories and Offin Tett’s Light Main Weapon have been changed to be unusable, and the effects of the Sleeping Sage’s Armor have been adjusted.
There are also changes in magic crystals. Crystal of Infinite Magic Power – Crystals such as critical hits are replaced with crystals of unholy magic power,
The effects of some of the other modifications have been changed so that you can consider them as an option based on the modification usage from last season.
We ask adventurers to participate in the Arena of Solare regular season, which begins in all regions on July 3rd.
Thank you
