‘Black Desert’ Awakens Corsair Class With New Skills, Weapons, and Outfit
by Gary Catig
Black Desert is a sandbox-oriented MMORPG incorporating high fantasy elements with a maritime and pirate spin. Recently, one of the classes — the one and only pirate-mermaid Corsair class — received a ton of new features thanks to the Awakening update.
Corsair players are able to unlock a new outfit, a new harpoon style weapon called the Patraca, and some additional skills. A description of the Corsair class can be found below.
The awakened Corsair is captain of the Slippery Scallywags, a band of friendly pirate otters that assist players in combat. The Slippery Scallywags fire their cannons to help defeat foes as players perform their powerful new skills. Adventurers can also strategically choose to use her new special weapon, a Patraca, as either a sword for melee combat or as a harpoon gun for ranged attacks. Corsair can easily rush down enemies while surrounded by its mist. Distant enemies aren’t safe either, as she can pierce them with her harpoon from afar, dragging them into her mist and neutralizing them.
Check out the details on the new awakened skills:
- Spare No Quarter!: Rather stylishly throws her rope into the air, lifting her up and surrounding her in mist, before she comes down to slice her foe.
- Sun-splitter Patraca: Throws her rope towards the sun, momentarily staying mid-air, before firing her harpoon. Enemies hit by the harpoon will be neutralized by her mists.
- Cap’n’s Orders: Open Fire!: Lifts her weapon into the air, giving the signal to open fire. Following her orders, the Scallywags fire their ship’s massive anchor at the enemy.
There are also other in-game events to celebrate the graduation of summer season servers. After Adventurers complete all the challenge quests, they are able to graduate from the season server. Adventurers can play their characters on regular servers and get special rewards such as the PEN (V) Capotia, a powerful accessory that can greatly aid newer Adventurer’s journey.
For those who play Black Desert on consoles, Xbox users can get 20% discount on Pearl Box and PlayStation users can get up to 60% discount on the bundles.
