BDO | Ultimate Class Tier List | 2024 | PvE Only |

!!_ ATTENTION PLEASE _!! When evaluating, we didn't just consider the performance of the classes in a single spot(for example not only Dark Seeker's Retreat). We couldn't ignore the poor performance of some classes in all other spots of a category just because they performed relatively well in one spot. The Classmasters provided average values.

Easily makes the best PvE tierlist. Doesn't just go off of what he hears from the masses, just from the people who actually know what the heck they're doing.

Nova Awakening DIFFICULTY: VERY HARD PAWEL: Not hard to play :D

[@lockedbill4942]

I mean if u play the class it's super easy, her skill animation is quick and good aoe with dmg with less memorize combo because she only have like 2 combo with very shot time perform

[@Josh-99]

Awakening Nova isn't hard to understand, but it has this flow of "High APM > Insane APM > repeat" that some people may find exhausting. Also, her defenses are almost universally Super Armor, so not paying attention can get you utterly exploded in certain areas unless your DP trivializes incoming damage.

[@Josh-99]

@@Moon-D0G As I've said, she's not difficult in terms of knowledge or skill, she's difficult in that she has very high APM and her primary defense is Super Armor. That means that she can be exhausting to play, and if you make a mistake you can take a lot of damage through your Super Armor.

[@evil_inside1332]

From someone who has only ever really played Nova Awk: it's not hard, just a bit fatiguing from the ultra high APM. the only change i'd recommend to Awk is to allow it to sustain Accel to some degree such an Succ Maehwa does Red Blade

[@Josh-99]

@@Moon-D0G They had to provide i-frames for the Black Shrine boss fights, otherwise classes with i-frames would have a dramatic advantage over classes without them for many of the mechanics. Here's the thing: providing i-frames in PvE actually INCREASES the skill ceiling. When you don't have them, all you can do is move out of the way of attacks as quickly as possible and wait for the attack animation to trigger; when you do have them, you can i-frame at the absolute last split-second to keep your DPS up and move only to prevent getting hit by the attack. This is especially true of attacks with telegraphs or long wind-up animations.

[@andiandi3339]

Great work! Thank you Quendya and the contributors.

[@daniellockwood7061]

I think this tier list needs a skill floor and skill ceiling category instead of just a blanket difficulty. What a lot of people are correctly pointing out is that A nova is not "very hard" to play at an effective level, but what they're failing to understand is how hard the class is to play at the highest level. She's so OP right now that almost anyone can pick the class up in a week and pull above average trash in a lot of spots, but you aren't going to be pulling above average trash in comparison to good Novas. The difference between pawel and an average A nova is ridiculous and I can't think of any class where there is that kind of gap between the top and the average players in PVE.

[@acheneniwae2362]

Add to that the exhaustion factor. The issue with awak nova skill ceiling is not the technical difficulty in itself but being able to maintain it over multiple hours. Like 1 or 2 is ok but more than that and you'll be better off grinding on a guardian. Well, that would be an apm category. That said, I have yet to play the new nova.

[@aligr3224]

pawel really got glorified thanks to the discord huh xD 3 years ago we taught him how to do it, props to him for taking it, unlike the majority who shun us away :D

[@aligr3224]

just know, that he is tryharding af every hour and flex on that discord all day to keep up a face lol. all things aside, the difference between him and the average nova player is that he actually sweats and press everything high dps on cd while keeping his buffs up. its actually simple, what isnt as simple, is to get the muscle memory to do so, which takes time, since ofc, its muscle memory and not much else, or less.

[@atmas1337]

One thing I never see people mention about zerk is the painful leveling process and how it feels like your headbutting a wall until you get mana/energy problem solved and that you need to be in beast form..

U! U have the best BDO videos in KZbin! Amazing tier list with a lot of really hard work with notes etc. love your guides so much, u r my favorite, thank you! ❤❤❤

[@Quendya]

[@myTERAexperience]

Awk Berserker pve combo is pretty easy. Don't let Yofamsteve discourage you because whatever reason... the most difficult part to learn is mobility and protections via mobility in awk zerk. Not an issue in pve but in pvp that's where you'll kick urself if u don't learn protected movement.

[@Somebody374-bv8cd]

Most classes: Wall of text Zerker : one line Archer, Guardian and Kuno: 1 person Scholar is new so 1 comment is reasonable. Checks out 🤣

[@Elmermol]

Thanks for all the work you put into this and the contribution to our community

[@Quendya]

Thank you mate. Without you guys i wouldnt make this that much accurate

[@PhamVans]

Nice work sir, very interesting to see a raw analysis like this from actual players. I myself have played since Ninja launch and have spent a decent amount of time on most of the classes (for PvE, some PvP). Obviously there are some biases but there is one ranking I can't actually agree on, which is the ranking for succession nova. I personally found her to be great for end game PvE. She's slow, but definitely has some of the best burst damage AoE's in game. It's a very add-on dependent class though, which is probably why people have complaints. She's the only class I've seen where some of the skills automatically chain together.

[@chielzzmew]

Amazing work bro ty. One thing that I see coming back a lot is the "fun" factor. Like you can have a class at 8 for endgame spots, but a 10 in fun. Some people only chase the meta, others will stick with a fun class that is less efficient. Maybe for future class lists :)

[@nappary5872]

Fun is subjective

[@AntaresBDO]

To many people the meta classes are also fun, or their understanding of fun is making most money. This is also 100000% acceptable, people should understand that.

[@michaelrenaud1300]

what you have ''fun'' with can be shit for me ... and the other way around its hard to tell

[@sonniday4346]

Thanks Quendya for showing the people that laugh at me and claim stuff like "Sounds like a Skill Issue" "Learn ur Class then u will get better Numbers" every time I say what I pull at ANY Endgame Spot because "Succ Nova is OP at ENDGAME ATM" But great work like allways ur Tierlists are made with the correct Ideas, not doing idk like 1h on each class at one spot and then ranking them but asking Class Mains what they think, a Idea which PA Should Consider partially, but problem with that is that everyone wants their class to be the best ... Thanks ;D

[@civilspirit1483]

I love how plain archers everythin is hahahaha, I honestly reckon hes all around amazin, only thing you need to learn, is timing with each skill, and when to use it, but my combo at gyfins for example (vid made for it) actually prefers on pair if not better than some classes. My experience with Archer is still growing, but good to see how it's viewed to a better player.

[@alexmads6363]

Looking at the list, we already know that pearl abbyss does not know how to balance or with the changes she makes she does not have the purpose of balancing the classes. Difficult classes that do not reward you for grinding, very easy classes that in all spots are tier S+, classes that are not even an option for either pve or pve. Classes that are very forgotten or that don't even make the effort to promote them (see la nova succ, valk succ, kuno awa). Good video, i always think this tier list are very very reliable

[@easypro]

Thank you for the new list. I'm starting an awa maehwa today even tho shes not top tier i just love the speed and effects on her so its time to see how far i can get with it

[@cjd82187]

Great work (as usual), you put so much time and effort gathering info from others when making these. Much appreciated.

[@Metalhead365]

Finally a good PvE tier list! Thank you!!! Literally watched 4 crap videos before this and yours is by far the best. I would have enjoyed your commentary on if you agree with the class masters. I don’t think sorc is hard. Maybe if you want peak performance but the mobs in bdo aren’t the brightest and if you have a decent understanding of your class you should be able to burst them down. Just my take.

[@ExpressionOfArt]

Great vid and use of class graphics on the background. As a Succession Nova its always a bit sad that I see her being universally stated as being the worst class in the game no matter where I look or read be it reddit, youtube or community forums. Its so weird they keep her in this spot when she was so sorely in need of rework for some years now and they aren't even planning anything so it's not like they're can be like "we're working on it". I keep trying to stick with her but sadly the comment about trash vs other classes is true. I can't come close to averages for most spots 😩

[@UshioSorrows]

I would love to see a new category, " Grind Speed "

[@NotBuddh4]

Translated from Google Translate My nickname is Buddha, I'm a player on the SA server and I play Sorceress Succession, I'm here to mention that I agree with the notes regarding its performance in the early, mid and end game, it was well classified and coherently reflects the current state of the class. Sorceress Succession is a choice, not one of the best, but a valid choice for those who want to have a quiet game, because it has many resources to recover HP and MP, in addition to the frontal blocks that are present in most of the main skills of the class, which allows it to go into heavier spots more precociously and with the s help it even more to achieve this goal. I also agree with what Gameru mentioned in relation to the recent buffs that have had little impact on succession, the class has the vast majority of its skills in cone and forward with a low-medium range and because it has one of the worst mobilities in the game, it reflects in the early and mid game spots where it has the worst performances in the game, because it has limited movement skills added to the high stamina expenditure for it. The fact that she has few explosion skills makes her perform less well in some early-mid game spots, but in comparison her performance increases in end game spots where there are fewer monsters and she is more resistant to DPS skills such as "Prime: Black Wave", "Prime: Claws of Darkness" together with the 6% accuracy buff in the "Prime: Crow Flare" skill and -9% evasion in "Absolute: Beak Kick" makes decent grinding in end game spots possible with a lot of effort. In conclusion, the class is a lot of fun despite being classified as average in the current state of the game, but that doesn't make it a bad class, just one with a slightly lower performance.

I'll leave a comment to boost the youtube algorithm! I will say though, as a succ zerker player. the fall off between midgame and end game is way worse than .5. According to Garmoth atleast. #43/51 at Crypt... 50/51 at Darkseeker? Mid 20's at Tungrad, Dekhia Tunkuta, Cyclops, etc. That's more than a .5 drop. You know its bad when Choice wont even grind on it at end game spots.
