Black Desert Online - Musa Guide 2023 - Skills, Combos, Addons, Gear, PvE, PvP, Siege, NW & More!

[@Stellz]

***SOME NEW UPDATES AND SKILL ADDONS CAN BE FOUND HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpLXnqGNmKlorZI ***Refer to this comment section and the video description for frequently asked questions. There is a video cut glitch during the CCs part at the 40min mark, but the section was about to conclude anyways. I have included a PvE combo in this video description that can be used as a basis due to many players still asking for one. It won't have 100% uptime, that is why I recommend freestyling to learn skill your skill cooldowns and put together patterns/strings of abilities for good buff and addon uptime. Once again for builds, I was giving templates that you can use when thinking about what upgrades to go for next and how to think about where you want to be gear wise in the long term. There are many more builds out there, including triple Deboreka evasion and DR builds with offhand swaps, but these builds are super late game and not beginner/intermediate friendly. By the time you consider stuff like that, you'll be knowledgeable enough yourself to make those decisions. I only ever recommend things that I've tried and used myself. I will try my best to answer 100% of the questions, so always feel free to ask whatever you'd like. Thank you all for the support!

It's not a guide, it's a Musa Bible 🙏 Thank you very much for all the detailed infos and we all appreciate the work and experience you put into it. Insane how detailed and useful it is, compared to others content creators, if only they could make guides like that for other classes😅

[@SenpaiKai888]

[@wiselyomar2695]

Is this guide still relatable at the year 2024? I just rerolled to musa for a fresh start ! After quitting for almost a year

[@gerrydresta2386]

that help me so much, thanks you

[@mackingreys]

may i know which combo you often use? so i could practice that 1 first.

[@JamieR]

Great guide! Will def come back to this once I tap my awak BS to TET or PEN. Do you have any recommendations for Succ Musa guides?

[@Stellz]

I believe that Soonuh and Okazaki have youtube channels with Succ Musa guides/videos. You should try to find them and check them out. Some of the best Succ Musa players that I know of on NA are: Soonuh, Foresthunter, Lavexis, Nazu. You can find them within the official Musa Discord and they are friendly enough to help you out with specific stuff.

[@ServTech1337]

Whats ur thoughts on pve after buffs ?

[@tonynguyen216]

great guide do you also just use in the dr build nouver with pve aswell or only pvp?

[@Stellz]

Nouver is a PvP only offhand. You will want to use a Kutum for PvE.

[@mustafahanates]

Thanks for your effort. My english level is not good enough to understand the whole video. İ couldnt understand the skill usage order and the animation cancellation during skill transitions. Because my level of english was not sufficient. Thats why ı m sorry. But its a very useful and informative video. İ wish i could understand more. Thank you.

[@BathTree]

An hour and a half!!! I'ma go get a coffee LOL

[@josie200988]

What is the WW BIND? I need to do that

[@covan2755]

@stellz your current gear in the Link you are DR using the nouver. Do you change to kutum then for PvE??

[@Stellz]

Yes, Kutum for PvE always

[@SeyedMansour27]

hey, great video you mind redoing the skill tree part? mine is not the same i think it got updated

[@Stellz]

Nothing has changed besides the order of a few skills listed. It's still 100% accurate

[@SeyedMansour27]

yes the order is chaged, if its only to that level it's ok, ty@@Stellz

[@Dasents]

I accidentally swapped my gear to the reform boss gear, that’ll do me for now and I can farm pen gear right or should I just do the reform?

[@nintendoflow2409]

Bro how do you maintain wp on musa in pvp, I go through one rotation of skills and even with shift e it is a struggle. I try landing hits that also recover wp but it still isn't enough I end up having to stall until I can get enough back to pump out skills

[@SenpaiKai888]

Fashion guide next? You lookin good m8 😆

[@Stellz]

Anemos Armor is the way. Maybe one day we get more cape costumes though...

[@sneakymitchell7802]

Blooming needs a buff big time. Like add a guard on last skill. I use it to just farm in pve to switch weapons

[@dloading1581]

does it good on dr build? since musa is squishy ,so more like glass canon build i think

[@Stellz]

I mentioned this near the end in the Endgame build section. Endgame dr musa, the way I built it, is glass cannon. You can build to stack some dr on earrings, maybe a cadry, lightstones artifacts etc. However, I've never tried the build so I'm not going to recommend something that I don't know about

[@ravonic_guile0178]

I actually found you on Musa discord.

[@AKADanyDanman]

Hi, Could you share or explain if you are freestyling which addons to choose? Based of the most used skills in pve or the most useful ones? Tnx for your help

[@Stellz]

I would recommend using the addons I show for my Hexe PvE example. Crust Crusher T3, Pyrostorm T2, Backflow T2, Searing Slam T2, One Step Back T2, Dash Slash T2. Could use Eradicate as well if you like. And then just put Monster Damage/Crit %/Back %/-DP/Crit hit rate/accuracy, etc on them so that you have everything. Then rotate the skills in an order that best makes sense or works for you

[@peggeMEGA]

Will the cc timer and immune thing be visible in pvp or is it just on dummies?

[@Stellz]

Just on dummies

[@ravonic_guile0178]

What are some great grind spots for skill points for Musa?

[@Stellz]

Sulfur, polly forest are the best ones I know. They are way easier to obtain now so other spots shouldn't be as bad now too

[@ИванПолухин-ъ2о]

Why don't you finish lmb+a/d? In pvp combos.

[@guccigang9881]

Godr vs BS seems like a confusing choice, Lots of conflicting information out there. As a new player which route do you think i should go?

[@Stellz]

Godr -> save money and buy PEN blackstar. You could very easily spend 2-3x the price of a V blackstar by tapping it yourself. That's my advice. If you like to play with RNG then you can do the TET -> PEN blackstar self enhancing way. Could be 1 tap or 60 taps

[@eduardobif7960]

in musah evasion build, its way better to have the evasion offhand instead of the centaur, it will give you more ap and more evasion, and its way more cheaper

[@Stellz]

Its just a matter of preference and accessory available per person. I mention the green offhand and how you can use it. Special Evasion is becoming increasingly more common on different crystals and pieces of gear as time goes on. And its basically the strongest defensive stat in the game. More people will opt into special evasion kutum evasion builds on some classes as they get best in slot accessories. In this case, you are trading 10% special attack evasion for 20 flat evasion by putting on an AP belt and Green offhand.

[@eduardobif7960]

@@Stellz it's a very good point, but all this is assuming that you have garmoth in your offhand, in my case for example, who doesn't have, the best option is the green offhand

[@KenneithTV]

i don't type the 1 step back always miss the atack if i used..

[@hughjanus916]

Are those both debuffs on one step back

[@blackheavymetalman]

Does evasion do anything in pve?

[@ahmetarslan5935]

Thx perfect

[@tchevensky7802]

hows the musa awakening damage now days? specially in solare? plus, why do people consider him a easy class to play? i play awak hasha and this seens to be much harder

[@Stellz]

They consider it easy to play because it can produce great results with a simple playstyle that has no gaps basically. You can stay in awake and never use your preawake kit if you wanted to. Fight and dive with the same 5-6 super armor skills on cd, and safely move with rmb and never be CCd. The damage on awake musa in all aspects of PvP is very good. I was rank 1 on solare for Musa and rank 3 overall in the game back when I was playing it.

[@tchevensky7802]

@@Stellz aw yea so probally i might have no problems rerolling to it since awak hasha you are always swaping to pre to land some cc and also as part of protected movement to save some stamina...

[@Boo.b58]

Is Succ Musa not really viable for PVP 1v1’s nowadays? Or is Awa Musa just better

[@Stellz]

Succ Musa is very good in largescale/smallscale pvp. Neither awake or succ are particularly great in 1v1s, they suffer from the same downsides

[@Swistak65]

Do you cancel Spinner with Twister right after the crit buff pop up?

[@Stellz]

You can. I generally get spinner buff for PvE during Pyrostorm quick cancel by inputting S+LMB at the end of Pyrostorm then going into Backflow. For PvP I get my spinner buff after I Crosscut or with a Chase -> S+LMB -> Chase cancel

[@erdemakyildiz5580]

Hello, Musa There are a lot of Addons for Awakening Skill Addon. I'm Looking For Fixed Skill Addon For PVE Grind RNG Items. Which Skill Plugin You Show in the Video Would You Highly Recommend I Use? In the following order.

[@Stellz]

Use whatever skills, it doesn't matter for low end spots. Put monster damage, movement speed, critical rate, critical damage, etc on your skills and just rotate them as they are up

[@TheAntonio6579]

Yoo, what outfit or mesh of outfits are those at the start ?

[@Stellz]

Anemos armor. It is only available in the spring around March/April

[@TheAntonio6579]

thanks, is the armor the whole set ? so it also changes the gloves and legs ?@@Stellz

[@Stellz]

Ya its just the Anemos Armor and Dark Martial Helmet

[@ltu.buff.u7724]

Ez sub😊 na can i ask for succ build and ad ons?😊

[@Stellz]

Thanks! If you want succ musa info, try to get in touch with Okazaki, Soonuh, Nazu, Lavexis, Foresthunter in the Musa discord. They are all really great on the spec

[@guccigang9881]

how are you getting so much WP? i find myself running out sometimes.

[@Stellz]

Level, boss gear set effect, and one of the stats like Health or Strength I believe

[@kevinreyhan209]

can i see your UI setup ? it might help a lot thank you

[@Stellz]

I don't have a custom UI. I play with the default game UI, with the old traditional HP bars

[@priyohandoko7581]

What u using now for musa, Eva or DR build?

[@Stellz]

I just rolled back to DR because I want to tag and learn Awake Valk. When we get the new boots, swapping will be so much easier

[@jeffrussel7104]

why can't I lock "Upper Kick" only the ultimate version?

Can you share the garmoth link for the add ons and crystal presets?

[@Stellz]

garmoth.com/character/UMhKXmzZhT

[@Pkdor666]

BRO , IF THE MUSA HAVE A PASSIVE OF EVASION, NOT GONNA BE A DOWNGRADE USING DR BUILD AND NOT AN EVA BUILD?

[@Stellz]

Evasion musa is great. However, you can't start off playing evasion as an early-mid game player, it doesn't work. You need a lot of evasion for it feel playable and not be worse than DR

[@Pkdor666]

1200 or moore is good?@@Stellz

[@iswyz6620]

What should i Play yet Musa awk of succ Whats Vetter

[@Stellz]

Both are very good. Awake musa is easier to play and understand

[@OAK_YouTube]

What addons would you use for t1?

[@Stellz]

Similar to T2/T3, Self % Buffs but more enemy debuffs since a lot of addons do nothing in T1. Human damage, -DP, etc is useless on T1. So just get good buffs across the board on your other skills

[@lobankloser6846]

How did we move from free Boss gear weapons to a almost final Godr ayed Main and Awak. weapon?? They are like 20b each. Same with accessories.

[@Stellz]

At least for NA. PRI/DUO Godr are 14-18bil. Tet entry level accessories are down 30-40% across the board. Even at full tuvala equivalent gear, there are many grind spots where you can make 600-1bil per hour. It doesn't take long to get these things nowadays

[@lobankloser6846]

Is deathblow usefull for musa as awk spec?

btw why does my evasive shot not stiff?

[@minkmink3232]

how to chosen one cup blue and yellow for accessory ? it how to different ?

[@Stellz]

Blue = Defensive (HP/DR) , Yellow = Offensive (Crit/AP). Most people build yellow for PvE. Both for PvP are good depending on your build on what you want. If you want to be tankier go Blue, if you want more damage go Yellow

[@ayyrick]

Musa is so fast, he can outrun his own shadow. This comment doesn't make sense because it's impossible to outrun one's own shadow. Shadows are cast by objects when they are blocking light, and the object's movement is directly correlated to the movement of its shadow. So, if Musa were to outrun his shadow, he would essentially be outrunning himself.
