Featured Updates
Season Character
Developer Commentary:
The first season character is here in Black Desert Mobile.
Ever since we began service with Black Desert Mobile, we've made various improvements and held events to help our new and returning Adventurers progress and adapt to the game more easily.
We developed season characters based on our experience thus far, taking systematic aspects and sustainability into consideration, all to afford you a more satisfying and enjoyable experience with progression. Careful thought was put into the development of season characters, but there were a few factors we majorly focused on in particular.
We've always wanted our Adventurers to feel a sense of accomplishment based on these efforts. In Black Desert Mobile, content is accessed gradually as you progress through the Main Quests and Family Quests, and the rewards from each piece of content aid character progression.
With this update, our Adventurers will be able to fully enjoy their characters growing stronger, as we made improvements to the current character progression process instead of entirely skipping it for a "speedgeared" character.
One of the major factors we focused on is the simplification of the gear system. Season characters can only equip exclusive "Tuvala" Gear. Only "Awakened Enhancement" is possible, and you can attempt enhancement at a relatively high Success Rate, which allows you to solely focus on making the character stronger through gear enhancement.
You can slowly get to Crystals, Enchantments, or other similar factors after completing the season. And although you still must play through content to acquire the Knowledge that takes up a big percentage of character CP, we've significantly increased the Knowledge boost effects so that you can progress more quickly up to a certain point.
We've made this to be meaningful content for our current Adventurers as well. Adventurers who've already completed the Main Quests and Family Quests will be able to complete the Season Pass quests much more easily.
We recommend that you make a season character and play through the season if you're seeking the opportunity to progress an alternate character with gear of a certain grade and enhancement level. We believe that "Perilla's Star," a gem that you can equip on the Outfit Decoration slot, will also be a great gift for our Adventurers.
We are planning to continue and provide support for an enjoyable adventure and progression for our Adventurers post-season completion, and after switching to a non-season character. We will make our best efforts to continue to provide an enjoyable adventure for our Adventurers who will have completed this season.

Class
Windwalker
Developer Commentary:
Windwalker is characteristic of utilizing various charge skills to move around the battlefield with much agility. However, her survivability is relatively low when she charges, which made her a target as she was unable to break the enemy line to attack enemies or escape their grasp at times.
With this update, a "barrier of wind" will be applied from the "Wind Energy" gathered when consecutively using charge skills. This "barrier of wind" will increase skill damage and apply Invincibility for a set time. We anticipate Windwalker to have better mobility as she breaks through enemy lines more recklessly with heightened agility.
- Added a "Wind Energy" effect applied upon use of the following charge skills after using charge skills 3 times.
ㆍ Charge skills: "Wind Knife," "Gale Harvest," and "X-Strike"
"Wind Energy"
- Maintain stacks up to 60 sec after use of 1st skill
- The following effects are applied upon use of the following skills after 3 stacks
ㆍ Invincibility for 1 sec (Not applied in Arena)
ㆍ Skill damage +30% for 1.5 sec
ㆍ The "Wind Energy" effect will activate after the extra attack if you set the flow skills of "Wind Knife" and "Gale Harvest" to ON.
Guidance of Wind
- Increased the all skill damage applied upon use of skill (15% → 20%).
Huntress
Developer Commentary:
Huntress is a class that avoids enemy attacks while drawing power with ‘Blessing of the Wind’ to deal powerful damage to enemies. However, it was difficult to utilize this trait against classes with good mobility or to escape approaching enemies.
In this update, we have improved the trait so that when a skill enhanced with the "Blessing of the Wind" effect hits the target, it also grants the Reduce Move Speed effect, allowing the trait to be utilized against classes with good mobility.
In addition, we have added an effect that allows you to support allies when you take a position in the rear using long-range attacks. When using the skill "Calling of the Earth," you can summon the Kamasylvia Tree to periodically apply additional increased AP effects and HP Recovery effects.
We hope that Huntress can more effectively defeat her enemies, and also demonstrate their presence as a reliable ally to her comrades.
Call of the Earth
- Summon a Kamasylvia Tree that lasts for 30 sec (Not applied in Arena).
ㆍ Kamasylvia Tree will grow each time the skill "Blessing of the Wind" is used.
“Kamasylvia Tree”
- Recover HP and increase AP for nearby allies.
ㆍ Level 1: Recover 200 HP every 2 sec for 10 sec, AP +40 for 30 sec
ㆍ Level 2: Recover 400 HP every 2 sec for 10 sec, AP +50 for 30 sec
ㆍ Level 3: Recover 600 HP every 2 sec for 10 sec, AP +60 for 30 sec
ㆍ The effects do not stack with the Recover HP and Increase DP buffs applied upon use of "Call of the Earth."
Blessing of the Wind
- Spirit Trap will be applied upon use of a skill enhanced with Blessing of the Wind.
“Spirit Trap”
- Move Speed -50% for 2 sec against target on 1st hit
Improvements
