Warrior | Character classes Black Desert Online Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Class description

Like Valkyrie, the Warrior uses long sword. His strong points are high defense and high level of health. Playing style is similar to that of the Valkyrie, but they are different from each other in terms of skills. Valkyrie is disposed mainly towards supporting the party and healing, whereas the Warrior is a typical knight whose task is to take on damage.

Armoring

Warrior, like Valkyrie, uses the longsword and the shield. Armoring for both of the classes is identical. While leveling up and completing quests, you will be receiving various weapons that are sufficient for effective slaying of monsters. With time, you will have to change the weapon to something more effective, which is the costly Liverto Longsword. A cheaper alternative is Yuria Longsword that you can upgrade as you will. When it comes to the shield, focus on Vangertz Shield, which provides higher accuracy and higher defense.

A good choice when it comes to armor is Agerian set which is relatively affordable and quite common. You can freely upgrade this set, because you will be using It throughout the majority of the game. Another set that you can take interest in is Taritas that provides a bonus to accuracy and health.

As for jewelry, it is a good idea to take interest in Bares set. It mainly boosts your attack. However, if you notice that your attacks keep missing opponents, invest in jewelry that improves on accuracy.
