Classes

Black Desert Mobile has 13 base classes. Most classes have the ability to transform into the Ascended or Awakened version of their class, resulting in a total 34 classes available as of January 2021. The only exceptions to this are Hashashin and Nova (which are Ascended by default and do not have a base class) and Striker (which cannot Awaken).

Ascension

Ascension was added to the Black Desert Mobile Global servers on February 25, 2020. Ascension was added to the Global servers before Awakening as a result of negative feedback on the Korean servers, which added Awakening first. Ascension is seen as a further development of a class, essentially just being a more powerful version of the base class and continuing to use the same weapons and general play style.

In order to Ascend, characters must have reached level 60 and received a [Southwest Calpheon Pass]. Once these requirements have been met, the Ascension story quest must be completed, which allows the player to choose either Ascension or Awakening upon completion of the quest. After Ascension, players must complete a series of additional quests in order to unlock their Ascension skills or purchase the skill books from the skill vendor in towns. Ascended characters unlock one additional skill upon reaching level 70.

Awakening

Awakening was added to the Black Desert Mobile Global servers on July 7, 2020. Awakening is seen as a transformation that changes a base class into an entirely new class by using a new weapon set. Sometimes, the play style will change as well (e.g. Ranger turns into a melee class by awakening into Windwalker).
