Black Desert Online: The Best PvP Classes, Ranked | Game Rant

Black Desert Online has a reputation in the MMORPG community as an unforgiving and hardcore game. Sometimes it even supports player griefing behavior but also penalizes it accordingly. That is to be expected in a sandbox game where you can take on anyone who annoys you. In such matters, having the best viable 1v1 character for PvP can make a huge difference.

Because as it stands, Black Desert Online‘s characters each have their own place in the different game modes namely PvE, Node War, and PvP. Certain characters excel in PvP just as some do in other modes. Having one of these top PvP characters is almost a must especially if you don’t have a guild to protect you.

10 Tamer

Two heads are better than one and the Tamer is a class that loves to call upon an ally for its damage. The Tamer has a pet called Heilang that can either distract an enemy or assist in incremental damage. Either way, it puts any 1v1 enemy at a disadvantage, unless you’re also fighting another Tamer.

The drawback of having a trusty evil dog ally is that the Tamer sacrifices some of her tankiness. That means players usually have to keep in mind positioning, dodges, and attack rotations to ensure that the Tamer doesn’t get a taste of her own medicine.

9 Striker

The Striker is for players who love relentless and blunt aggression. Each of his attacks has high mobility, making the Striker’s moves a 2-for-1 that does damage and closes the gap between him and the target. Among the two Cestus users in the game, the Striker is the easier of the two to commandeer.

Some even consider the Striker as a class that plays on its own since the rotations are simple enough. What makes the Striker one of the best classes for sustaining a grinding spot is his tankiness compared to other 1v1-viable classes. He can take as much as he dishes out.

8 Wizard

The Wizard is in a good spot right now in the current meta of Black Desert Online and has always been at the top spot in Node Wars. That’s because the Wizard’s area damage is exceptional and can cover a huge zone, practically carpet-bombing an army of Node War players with reckless abandon.

So how does that translate to his 1v1 abilities? Not bad to be honest. The Wizard’s area damage means he doesn’t have to aim much or his positioning isn’t too important; the target will get hit regardless. Moreover, the range also gives the Wizard a head start, especially against melee-focused PvP classes.

7 Kunoichi

Despite being the female counterpart of the Ninja, which is considered as one of the best in PvP, the Kunoichi isn’t as strong. She does have a better range to compensate for the lower damage and can attack in a wider area compared to the Ninja.

As for her PvP skills, she’s at least better than some of the melee-focuses PvP staples. The Kunoichi can swap weapons fast to confuse opponents and her moves are also pretty hard to read. Do be aware that she’s also more difficult to master compared to other PvP classes.

6 Warrior

One of the oldest and pioneer classes in the game, the Warrior has proven himself many times to be an effective all-rounder. He’s tanky and can still deal some impressive numbers and quick kills as well as quick heals that will catch most enemies off-guard.

The beauty in the Warrior class is that it’s one of the simplest characters to use in the game and can be easily mastered. The Greatsword which is the Warrior’s primary weapon when ascended, vastly improves his mobility and area damage.

5 Ranger

Being one of the highest-damage classes with narrow area attacks, the Ranger is a respectable and feared opponent out in the grinding spots. She can easily pepper the enemy with ranged skills before rushing into melee mode with her ascended form and finishing off her softened targets.

Heck, some players even forego ascension and build the Ranger for pure bow DPS. The downside with her is that she’s fiddly to use and takes a while before players make the most of her. She’s also a glass cannon and can die easily if cornered.

4 Lahn

The Lahn is one of the best PvE classes when it comes to grinding tons of mobs and then moving from pack to pack. Her area damage is also exceptional and in the hands of more skilled players, she can easily match the Wizard in clear speed.

When it comes to PvP, Lahn is famous and notorious for her grab attacks that blindside the enemy by letting her close in the distance in the blink of an eye. After that, escaping a Lahn’s vast area hitbox is a challenge, making her a menace in 1v1 situations.

3 Hashashin

One of the newest additions in Black Desert Online, the Hashashin is the male equivalent of the Sorceress despite the class’s name. In any case, the Hashashin is what it sounds like. It’s a more offensive and more controlling version of the Ninja.

The Hashashin also has a wide range of sweeping attack skills that make him a monster out in the grinding spots. For 1v1 he excels well enough due to the tons of crowd control chains he can unleash at a target.

2 Sorceress

The Sorceress, like the Warrior, is also one of the oldest classes in the game and has a reputation for being a reliable and safe character especially once the balance updates start rolling. The Sorceress is also a great offensive all-rounder and she’s awesome in all aspects except defense, making her another glass cannon.

In terms of her PvP potential, that’s usually up to the player’s skill. The Sorceress merely presents players with opportunities to make 1v1 combat easier. The offensive capabilities of this class are top-notch and it’s easy to deal damage as well as stun the opponent.

1 Ninja

As for the undisputed king of 1v1 combat in Black Desert Online, that would be the Ninja. Since he was introduced to the game, no other class has been a better pick for griefing or defending a grinding spot against lone enemies.

The Ninja has a unique ability in the game that’s flexible; he can vanish with a smoke bomb and this can double as a defensive move or a prelude to an attack as the enemy will lose sight of the character. Sadly, the Ninja is often a one-trick pony and often shines only in 1v1 or other forms of small PvP.
