New Succession Skills Coming To Black Desert Online In Next Week’s Update
Black Desert Online, they’ve effectively overshadowed main weapon skills simply because they were immensely more powerful. That’s going to change with the introduction of Succession Skills in next week’s update. Here’s how they work:
“Succession skills will allow players to make the choice between choosing to specialize in their main weapons by sacrificing access to their Awakening skills. In return, they get powerful new skills focused on using their original weapons, which is the Longsword and Shield for the Warrior and the Bow and Dagger for the Ranger. Players can unlock their Succession skills at level 56 by completing a series of quests given to them by the Black Spirit.”
The Warrior and Ranger classes get first dibs on Succession Skills on December 4th. Other classes will probably be getting the new skills over the next few months. Pearl Abyss is currently holding the “Mysterious Knight” event to help players rack up skill points in preparation for the update’s release.
“Once Mysterious Knight appears and is stationed in its place, adventurers can come to interact and receive the Skill EXP Boost. Once again the frequency and times of Mysterious Knight is completely random, so please stay tuned for the system message of his appearance.”
“We developed the Succession skills for those who prefer and missed their original playstyle of the Main Weapon over their Awakening Weapon,” says Executive Producer Jaehee Kim. “The Succession update aims to return the appealing gameplay of the original Main Weapon skills of their characters to provide players with a lasting enjoyment. We hope players enjoy their experience trying out the newly updated original skills that are familiar yet more powerful than before.”
