Black Desert Mobile classes tier list
Black Desert Mobile has become one of the most prosperous large-scale mobile MMORPGs in the market, where users can join different online activities including world boss fights or mass PvP battles. One of the toughest decisions you'll encounter is choosing a base class from the 26 available options. This decision becomes even more confusing when you learn about the awakened and ascended versions that become available later on, each featuring distinct skill sets, weapons, and progression paths.

The best class for PvE
In this mode, you can choose any class, as it's your opportunity to grind peacefully and appreciate your character's impressive skill animations. After all, they are designed to be capable of completing the storyline, but if you're not particularly concerned with the game's aesthetics and prefer being a “try-hard”, here's a list of picks that are easy-to-play and excel at grinding quickly:
- Wizard
- Igneous
- Maegu
- Phantasma
- Archmage
- Corsair
- Gladiator
- Letanas

The best class for PvP
The best classes in this mode should be those capable of debuffing, immobilising, and disengaging rapidly. While It's necessary for you to main the class you are playing and practice regularly, you should also keep in mind that balancing and the current meta may affect class viability over time, so choose a class that suits your playstyle and objectives.
Here's a list of the best PvP picks:
- Berserker
- Gladiator
- Raven
- Yacha
- Igneous
- Shai
- Blade Master
- Kunoichi
- Eclipse
- Woosa
- Windwalker
- Zayed
- Warlord
- Lahn

- Wizard
- Invoker
- Shai
- Igneous
- Woosa
- Berserker
- Gladiator
- Lupa
- Corsair

Understanding specific world boss mechanics is the first thing you should aim for, then you should look for classes with sustain, healing abilities, and resurrection options. To save you the trouble, here are the best picks for this mode:
- Igneous
- Raven
- Wizard
- Woosa
- Maegu
- Archer
