The highly anticipated Ninja and Kunoichi classes are coming out of the shadows and into Black Desert Online on July 20, Kakao Games announced today.

The Ninja is an agile close-quarters combatant. With dashes, aerial skills, and even teleportation, Ninjas can get up close to their opponents alarmingly fast. Designed to land precise, deadly strikes, both the Ninja and Kunoichi can conceal themselves until the time is right. When in a tight spot, Ninjas can also make use of stun and debuff techniques to regain the upper hand.

The Kunoichi fights in much the same style as the Ninja but specializes in deflecting attacks with her trusty Kunai. A defensive force to be reckoned with, the Kunoichi uses her sharp senses to execute perfectly timed blocks before landing devastating counterattacks.

This update will also introduce the new Skill Addon System, which lets players customize their attacks by attaching up to two effects to their characters’ skills. Improvements will be made to the Skill Reset system, making it easier for players to redistribute their points without losing skill addons.

Finally, Node and Siege warfare will formally be added on July 17. Kakao Games extends their thanks to everyone who participated in the trial period and helped make these massive new guild versus guild modes as enjoyable as possible.
