Daum Games has announced that two new classes will be added to Pearl Abyss’s MMO Black Desert Online on April 20th, these are the Musa and Maekwa classes which add unique abilities and what the developer calls a “very different play style” from the current roster of available characters.
You can check out the Musa class in the below trailer.

This is a melee class that uses rapid reactions and high speed to beat the enemy. Musa characters offer enhanced mobility and perform best in small-scale PvP with AoE-focused attacks.
“The Musa is at his best when dashing across the battlefield to dispatch enemies with powerful AoE attacks, but each uncalculated move can be deadly due to his lower defense,” Duam says.
In the video below, you can see the Maehwa class in action.

The Maehwa class if the female counterpoint to the Musa class and offers a range of similar skills. The Maehwa also fights with a short bow and blade while moving rapidly across the battlefield to escape enemy attacks.
“While both classes are melee oriented, the Short Bow affords the Musa and Maehwa a selection of ranged attacks used to knock down targets and provide an opening to deliver close quarters attacks. Unlike the Musa, the Maehwa specializes in one-on-one combat with the impressive ability to lock down single targets for an extended amount of time,” the publisher explains.
In our review of the game, we said, “Its tight combat, numerous tradecrafts, and extensive setting have left me hooked. If you’re craving something new over the well-traveled roads of many other MMOs, you owe it to yourself to give Black Desert a deeper look. But if dungeons, raids, and the treadmill of increasingly impressive loot are what you’re looking for, then you’ll have to look elsewhere.”
