Woosa Class Guide

Introduction

The Woosa class uses a Swallowtail Fan as her primary weapon and a Do Stave as her secondary weapon. She is a mid-ranged magic user, specialising in Do arts and trained at the Woodo school. Her homeland is the Land of the Morning Light, which is an Asian-themed region, inspired by Korean folklore. Woosa is also the younger sister and twin of the Maegu class.

At level 56, Woosa unlocks her succession skills. Succession Woosa can conjure rainclouds and use the power of the Sagoonja. She delivers quick strikes with her folded fan, and large AOE attacks by mixing Do arts with her fan spread attack. Woosa’s Do arts utilize a butterfly motif, as she can summon a huge storm from the beating wings of a butterfly. Like the gently fluttering wings of the butterfly, she graces around the battlefield, overwhelming her foes with combos as smooth as flowing water.

Awakening

For her awakening, Woosa will swap weapons with her sister Maegu. She will use a Charm as her awakening, and Maegu will use the fan as her awakening. This has been confirmed in the Dev Commentary, which you can view below.

Although the twins will share the same weapons, their combat styles are very different, and they were designed to be almost polar opposites, so despite the weapons, we can expect a very different style than we have seen so far for their awakenings. Below is a sneak peak at the official concept art for Awakening Woosa, which was posted in the 17th Feb 2023 Global Lab Patch Notes.

Skill Builds

Since the skill point update in late 2022, you can obtain all skills for approximately 1,000 skill points. Focus on your main skills first, then level the passives. The Weight Training skill should be leveled last since it only gives you weight limit increase.

Protected Skills

It is important to read through your skills to understand which skills have protection and crowd control effects. Read through your skills carefully to get familiar with what each skill does. You can also filter the different effects in the Skill Window (K).

Locked Skills

To lock a skill, press the lock icon on the top of each skill icon in the skill window (K).

These are the Succession skills I recommend locking to help prevent messing up combos during PVP.

• Evasion
• Chain: Fan Kick – optional
• Prime: Rain’s Thirst – optional
• Absolute: Pummel – optional

Skill Enhancement (Rabam) Skills

Skill Enhancement skills can be obtained in the Skill Window (K) under the “Skill Enhancement” tab at the top. At levels 56, 57, and 58, you will have 2 different options to choose between. These skills have no skill points cost, but you have to have other skills leveled up to be able to take them.

Level 56 – [SHIFT + X]

• Kaleidoscope Flower – Requires [Kaleidoscope Swirl III] and [Cloud Flower III]
• Chrysanth Swirl – Requires [Kaleidoscope Swirl III] and [Sagoonja: Chrysanth III]

For the level 56 rabam, the choice comes down to preference and what kind of content you are doing.

Chrysanth Swirl is a fast and long ranged CC, with Forward Guard and a Movement Speed debuff, making it useful for PVP.

Kaleidoscope Flower is more of a filler skill that you can use while waiting for other skills to come off cooldown. It has many hits and decent damage for PVE, as well as Super Armor protection.

Level 57 – [SHIFT + Z]

• Cloudburst – Requires [Cloudrise V] and [Thunderstroke III]
• Inkstroke – Requires [Cloudrise V] and [Stave Strike III]
  • (Preferred Choice)

For the level 57 rabams, Inkstroke is the more popular choice. It is unprotected, but is quick to cast and has a ranged Knockdown CC. The skill is usefull for pulling packs in PVE, and combos nicely into the last hit of Fan Kick (F) and other skills.

In comparison, Cloud Burst has a Stiff CC with Forward Guard.

Level 58 – [Quickslot Only]

• Reinvigorate – Requires [Sagoonja: Plum IV] and [Sagoonja: Orchid III]
• Spring Blossom – Requires [Sagoonja: Plum IV] and [Sagoonja: Bamboo III]
  • (Preferred Choice)

For the 3rd Rabam skill, Spring Blossom is the safer and recommended choice, since it has Super Armor and adds a large amount of passive HP regen to go alongside your Prime: Tranquil Mind passive. However, the skill does have a long cast time so it is best to cast it before entering a fight.

Reinvigorate also has Super Armor and recovers a flat % of HP instead, however it drains your MP which can leave you vulnerable.

Skill Add-ons

Below are some examples of PVE skill add-ons you can take. These add-ons are recommended by the Class Discord for the specific combos listed in this guide. Full credit goes to the original sharer.

If you would like example skill add-ons for other scenarios, please refer to the Class Discord and its resources.

I recommend experimenting with your add-ons and figuring out what is best for you because it really depends on your personal preference and how you play your class. If you’re simply not sure what to take then you can blindly follow the examples below and they will still be effective.

You can also check our Skill Add-on guide for a complete list of Skill Add-ons.

Weapons

Crystals

Below is an example starter Crystal build for PVE. Some of the crystals are expensive. You can obtain the Rebellious Crystal by completing the main story questline. For more example crystal builds, including an end-game PVE crystal build, and PVP Crystal builds, check our Crystal Preset Guide.

This is an example PVP Build for Woosas using Damage Reduction Armors and going full Human Damage (glass cannon). For more example crystal builds, check our Crystal Preset Guide or the Class Discord.

Artifacts and Lightstones

There are a few different viable choices for both Artifacts and Lightstone combos. Woosa is the “Magic Damage” type so you want to go for Magic Accuracy and Magic Damage for offensive artifacts.

For PVE Lighstones there are a few different options to min-max. For certain spots, you may want to use Species damage combos (eg. The Wild: Demihumans, The Wild: Kamaslyvia, The Wild: Humans). Species damage combos perform better if you are reaching the monster AP caps at a certain zone.

A more generic PVE combo is listed below that is recommended for your class and will work at any spot.

You can also find more information about Artifacts and Lightstones, and how to obtain them, in our guide. We also have a list of Best in slot Artifacts and Lightstones.

Useful Links/Credits

I highly recommend checking out the Woosa Class Discord for resources about your class. The class discords always have the most up-to-date information and tons of experienced players that can help with questions or gearing advice. I would like to give a shoutout to the Mod and Helper roles in the woosa discord for all their hard work gathering resources. You can find additional resources below, I honestly cannot recommend enough to join the discord.

Credits Disclaimer: Since there are now 26 BDO classes, it is impossible for me to keep class guides fully maintained. My main class is Ranger and I don’t claim to be the best in any class. Therefore, I use resources and recommendations from the Class discords since (as all other players would agree) this is the best source. I also ask for advice from friends who are more experienced in the class. Where possible, I credit specific players for information such as Add-ons, and combos. However, sometimes there is no player mentioned as the original sharer. If there are any issues with credit or you would like certain information removed/changed, please reach out to me!
