Greetings Adventurers,

Here are the latest update details for Black Desert Online on July 19, 2023 (Wed). Today’s patch contains 316 updates and is approximately 1,55 GB.

Mythical Doom, Mythical Awakening

• Added Mythical Doom, which can be obtained through Mythical Awakening.
  • Visit the stable keeper in the following regions to attempt awakening:
    • Stonetail Horse Ranch: Gula / Grána: Melabee.
    • One female and one male Doom at Lv. 30 or higher are required for the awakening.
  • Use the Mythical Censer to attempt the awakening. The base success rate is 3%.
  • If successful, two Dooms will fuse into one and a Mythical Doom will be born.
  • If it fails, you can retrieve your Doom at any time and use another Mythical Censer to try again.

• While the basic stats (HP, Stamina, Speed, Accel, Turn, Brake) are the same as regular Doom, Mythical Doom can learn up to 28 skills, including its exclusive skills.
• The price of Mythical Doom is higher than the combined price of Lv. 30 female and male Doom required for the awakening, but Mythical Doom is not tradable due to its rarity.
• Mythical Doom, an awakened Dream Horse, does not have a gender.

• Mythical Doom is born with all the inherent skills of regular Doom and Mythical Doom’s exclusive skills.
  • Exclusive skills: Infernal Sprint, Shadows of Hellfire, and Infernal Legion.
• Mythical Doom has 100% mastery of its inherent skills when acquired and they will not disappear even if the horse’s growth is reset.

• Detailed information on Mythical Doom's inherent skills are as follows:

Skill	Preceding Skill	How to Use	Stamina Consumption
Shadows of Hellfire	None	↓ + E	400
	Summons two Mythical Dooms. The summoned Dooms can be ridden by the caster, guild/party members, or allies freely. When using this skill, the caster who summoned the Dooms will receive the Trace of Shadows buff for 20 min. While the buff is active, using the Shadows of Hellfire will not summon the Dooms, but will apply the following effect to up to 10 nearby allies: Movement speed +5% for 1 min ※ The summoned Dooms will disappear automatically after 10 min or if the caster logs out, regardless of whether they are being ridden or not.
Infernal Sprint	Dark Sprint	Auto-activated after Dark Sprint	600

• The summoned Mythical Doom has Lv. 30 stats and can use a total of 16 skills, including Two-seater, Dark Sprint, and Infernal Sprint.

• Added a success rate increase system to the Mythical Awakening.
  • Every time the awakening fails, the success rate increases by 0.2%.

Flow: Chakram Rise, Flow: Indignation

Ninja

The Awakening Ninja is being revised with the newly changed Sura ChaoSpree, making it easier to utilize buff/debuff effects in a combo sequence. The Awakening Ninja had to utilize a lot of main weapon skills, which meant that in order to switch to the Sura Katana, the awakening skills had to be placed and used in the Quick Slots. Now, we've changed it so that the Murderous Intent can also be triggered with your main weapon if Ankle Cutter is locked, allowing for continued combos via command key. However, Core: Murderous Intent gave Super Armor and Stiffness every 3 sec, which was overly powerful, so we've increased the cooldown but enhanced the Skill Add-on and DP Reduction effect.
Additionally, we've relocated the buff/debuff effects from Flashing Light, which had difficulty utilizing the All Evasion Rate reduction, and Serpent Ascension, which already had a 100% Critical Hit Rate applied to the skill itself. This change has improved gameplay, making it easier to utilize the buff and debuff effects more smoothly during skill combos.

Nova

Nova Succession uses “Prime: King of the Dead” to summon Axian additionally at the cost of HP. However, each Axian summon consumed large amounts of HP, which made the skill difficult to make use of in PvP situations, despite having HP recovery on successful hits. To lessen this burden on HP, Axian summoning now consumes SP instead of HP.
Also, to improve upon Nova Succession’s uniqueness of fighting alongside guards and Axians in PvE, Critical Hit Rate was increased for “Face the Darkness” and “Icy Kiss”. Additionally, “Storming Star” was difficult to utilize due to its slow motion and low damage, so we changed its animation and added “Prime: Storming Star” for improved usage.

Main Weapon, Succession

Prime: King of the Dead

Maegu

Today’s patch adjusted some of the skills of Succession Maegu. First, we tried to maintain the strengths of Succession Maegu, such as smooth combos, long-range attacks, and wide-range attacks, while adjusting her tankiness by reducing the number of hits (which can be exploited by Frenzy Draught, etc.). Although the number of hits has decreased, the damage has increased, so there is no significant change in the total damage. We also reduced the range of the Foxspirit: Tag and Flower Shroud and adjusted the buff/debuff effects of some skills to maintain the advantage of long-range attacks while making the gameplay more careful.

As we mentioned at the Heidel Ball, we apologize once again for the additional adjustments made due to our mistake. We will work more carefully in the future and respond more quickly to any issues that arise.

Main Weapon, Succession
