Black Desert Online players have always enjoyed a wide array of character classes to choose from in the action-MMORPG. Pearl Abyss and Kakao Games have announced that the Hanashin class will be joining the fray as the 20th character class on September 2nd. From now through that date, players can pre-create and customize their Hanashin to be prepared for its launch next week.
The Hanashin is a dua-wielding frontline fighter that can manipulate the power of sand something akin to a dervish. He travels faster in desert environments and is slightly resistant to diseases as he surprises enemies by seemingly appearing from nowhere. He can evade attacks by quickly dashing to a specific place in a sandstorm. He can also create a sandstorm to chase his enemies and even ambush them with one from above.
The Hanashin uses a Shamshir as his main weapon with deadly effect. The Descent ability is a smashing AoE attack where he jumps into the air and slams his Shamshir into the ground creating a ripple of sandstorms.
Players that want to quickly grow their characters can once again take advantage of recently introduced Season servers. These servers are optimized for fast character growth and after classes have graduated (by hitting a certain level) they can be migrated to the regular servers. The season server is the exclusive source of ‘Coco leaves’, which can be exchanged for the highly desirable ‘weapon exchange coupons’ which can no longer be acquired via other means. The coupon allows players to transform their expensive, enhanced weapon into a different type and makes it suitable to be used by a different class.
