Goddess of low entry barrier, wide attack range, decent defense, excellent sustain. Improved both low and high end after the Star Patch in 2025. Easy to control, allowing newbies to farm comfortably in Elvia Orc Camp. Excellent performance even in higher-tier hunting grounds (Dark Seeker's Retreat, Golden Land). Cons: Slow attack speed, somewhat out of sync with the current meta. Recommendation: 3 out of 5 stars.

Like Guardian, a goddess of low entry barrier that is friendly to newbies. High damage output and easy controls. Core skill 'Harvest' can be activated with a simple Shift + Right Click. High efficiency from Elvia Orc Camp onwards. Easy to handle a large number of mobs with a wide attack range and excellent damage output. Comfortable play in Dark Seeker's Retreat. Cons: A sitting duck when solo, slow. Recommendation: 2 stars.

An all-around, well-rounded, max-level class. High defense, sustain due to excellent HP recovery, decent mobility. Good attack range, cool appearance, and fun controls. Damage buffed in the 2025 Star Patch. Fast entry into the next hunting ground and maximized profits thanks to high defense. Combo cancels may be somewhat difficult at first, but will be resolved naturally as you play. Recommendation: 4 stars.

Escaped from being a mosquito class. High mobility using Chase. No longer evaluated as having low attack/defense and terrible sustain. Rose to the top of hunting spots after the Star Patch. Fast attack speed, Blue Dragon effect. Excellent performance in the growth phase, early, mid, and high-tier hunting grounds. May be slightly difficult in the highest-tier hunting grounds due to stability issues. Recommendation: 4 stars.

A hexagonal OP class, Tier 1. High efficiency from the growth phase to the highest-tier hunting grounds. Lost convenience in the Star Patch, but actually got better. Wide attack range, high sustained damage potential, easy combo control difficulty, possesses heal/barrier utility skills. Mobility is somewhat lacking, but not a big problem due to the short hunting ground routes. Easy controls, bland hit feedback, disappointing effects. Recommendation: 5 out of 5 stars.

A reliable, simple, and delicious class like a Big Mac from McDonald's. Easy and wide attack range like Awakening Witch, possesses various utility skills. Flashy effects and hit feedback using fire and water. Momentary burst damage, 110,000% damage with Earth's Response combo. Weak against face-tanking due to lack of HP recovery and insufficient frontal guard. Recommendation: 5 out of 5 stars.

Escaped from the womb. Summon mechanism. Buffed main body. High defense, 50 increase to all defense for 10 seconds when using Q-Guard. Performs well from the growth phase onwards, feeling like a semi-all-rounder up to the highest-tier hunting grounds. Counter sustain, wide attack range, and excellent sustain due to summon's unique effects. Slow attack speed, unpleasant to use due to automatic Q-Guard after using skills. Recommendation: 2 stars.

High defense, good sustain with multiple recovery utility skills. Decent attack range and excellent mobility. A hexagonal character if the damage output is supported. Damage buffed in the Star Patch. The perfect alternative to Succession Woosa. Hunts well anywhere with shield and recovery utility skills. Possible to do mindless one-shot hunting with Divine Power + Swift Strike special combo after level 56. High leveling difficulty from level 1 to 56 (boost or self-boost recommended). Recommendation: 4.5 stars.

Escaped from being the pretty trash of Black Desert. Receiving good evaluations for the first time since release. Overall damage buff, cooldown reduction of main skills. Tier 1 class. High damage, low control difficulty, high HP recovery, mobility using Light Footwork, outstanding beauty. Narrow skill range, low defense, stationary turret damage. Can cover weaknesses with extreme damage skills and HP recovery that rivals max-level mobs. Shift + Left Click: Cyclone Slash is the main skill. High need for hunting in narrow areas in Elvia Orc Camp and Honglim Timber Site (Dehkia). Can switch from Succession to Awakening from level 1 growth phase up to Dehkia. Recommendation: 5 out of 5 stars.
