New Class - Askeia
Developer Commentary:
We'd like to introduce a new class in Black Desert Mobile, Askeia, the martial artist with a burning martial spirit and a cold, calculated fist.
Askeia utilizes her body as a weapon with martial arts rather than relying on the Azure Dragon, as with Mystic. She combos smoothly and quickly, and it feels like using one, long skill.
Her passive skill "Martial Spirit" further enhances this characteristic.
She can deal powerful counterattacks against her foes in combat with "Fortitude," which triggers on Forward Guard.
Out of her many skills, "Deathstrike" is one of the most useful in triggering "Fortitude." She can use the skill instantly during other skills, which never fails to pave the way for an attack opportunity.
Askeia's rapid skill combos after a successful counter attack will deny her enemies any chance to exploit an opening.
- The new class Askeia will be ascended upon creation.
ㆍ Askeia can only equip Universal Main Weapons and Sub-Weapons.
- Askeia starts with 4 active skills upon creation, and she can learn additional skills by leveling up.
- Reach Lv 10 with Askeia to earn the title "Banha's Tears."
ㆍ The title will not be acquired again if you already own it.
- Askeia's Succession skills include "Dragon Punch" and "Fury Dive."
Blast Gauntlet Mastery

Class
Developer Commentary:
With the appearance of the new class Askeia, the existing striker classes have honed their body to become stronger so that they don't fall behind. With improved mobility, they can move more quickly with increased strength in their legs. Also, they can use a variety of skill combos more smoothly with better mobility.
In this update, some classes' Succession skills have been changed. First, Mystic's Succession skill Mountain Punch was changed to Wolf's Frenzy so that it can be utilized in a wider variety of situations.
Also, Grandmaster's Eagle Drop, as it was difficult to utilize in combat, was replaced with Fiery Plume as the latter skill provides enough range and Forward Guard.

Kunoichi
Developer Commentary:
Kunoichi's characteristic is best displayed through her passive "Art of the Ninja" which creates Seal stacks. However, it was difficult to utilize this as the skill would trigger only on the last hit.
As time has passed and Kunoichi has become more skilled, she can now also activate Art of the Ninja on the first hit.
Art of the Ninja
- Added more details about the activation of the "Art of the Ninja" effect.
- "Art of the Ninja" will be activated not only on the final hit of the "Shadow Geyser" and "Cripple" skills but also on hit or if no additional attack was performed.
Improvements
Optimization
Developer Commentary:
We've recently reduced memory usage and optimized performance for the game app to provide a better play environment than before.
In this update, following the update on April 23rd, the glitches and character movement experienced in large-scale battles and other content where many Adventurers participate, were alleviated and improved.
Adventurers who've been enjoying Black Desert Mobile for a long time will especially feel the changes brought by this update more significantly.
Additionally, during the optimization work on April 23rd, we updated the Google SDK concurrently. We identified a memory leak issue that caused the app to shut down abnormally after being run for a long time. This issue occurred more frequently in the iOS environment and on devices with smaller memory capacities. With today's update, we have implemented a temporary measure to prevent this issue from occurring.
Until the Google SDK patch is complete, we will continue profiling and monitoring to ensure Adventurers do not experience inconvenience and will carry on with supplementary measures.
- Optimized the game app.
- Increased the loading speed for moving locations.
- Character movement will be kept smooth without interruption during large scale wars and similar situations.
- Fixed an issue where the game app would close abnormally.
Content
- Changed the Twisted Nightmare schedule.
ㆍ Twisted Nightmare does not open on Mondays and Tuesdays.
System
- Improved Guild Fortress, Guild Rush, Capotia, and Elite Guild Raid to be accessible in open-world regions such as the Great Desert, Great Ocean, and more.
- Improved to display the main outfit for both Ascension and Awakening instead of just for Ascension when creating a character.
- Improved to navigate to a location where it's easy to find the First to Third Pages during Story - "Aal's Test."
UI
- Improved the Family names and minimap icon to appear as red for enemies and blue for allies.
- Changed the Mystic/Askeia icon from the Beauty Album to Askeia's icon.

- [Letanas] Fixed an issue where, at times, the skill icon wouldn't be displayed properly for Hexeblood and Dragonblood.
- [Phantasma] Fixed an issue where the Academia Outfit would display abnormally under certain conditions while equipped.
- [Solaris] Fixed an issue where the Helmet would display abnormally with the "Ornaments" display on while the "Parthenoa" Outfit is equipped.

System
