Fantasy MMORPG PvE Raids Guilds

The Guardian is one of the Awakening classes in Black Desert Online (BDO), known for her brute strength, heavy attacks, and tanky playstyle. She wields a two-handed Battle Axe in her Awakening form, delivering slow but devastating blows with high area-of-effect (AoE) damage. Key Features of the Guardian: Role & Playstyle: - PvE (Grinding): Excellent in large-scale PvE due to massive AoE skills and self-sustain (HP recovery). - PvP (Node Wars/Siege): Strong frontline tank with crowd control (CC) and high burst damage but lacks mobility. - 1v1 PvP: Struggles against fast, agile classes but can dominate if she lands her CC combos. Weapons: - Main Hand: Labreve (Shortsword) Balanced stats. - Awakening: Battle Axe Slow but high-damage skills with wide AoE. - Succession: Focuses on pre-Awakening skills (Labreve), offering faster attacks but less burst damage. Strengths: - High HP sustain (many skills heal her). - Super Armor (SA) and Frontal Guard (FG) on key skills for survivability. - Excellent AoE clearing in PvE. - Strong in large-scale PvP due to tankiness and CC. Weaknesses: - Slow movement & attacks (vulnerable to fast classes like Ninja, Lahn, or Musa). - Lacks grab in Awakening (only in pre-Awakening). - Mana management issues (requires proper skill rotations or potions). Skill Rotation (PvE Grinding): - Prime: Lava Piercer (AoE + HP Regen) - Prime: Frenzied Destroyer (High burst damage) - Prime: Mountain Divide (Large AoE knockdown) - Flow: Raging Thunder (Mobility + Damage) - Shift + Q (Ancient Wave) for HP sustain. Gearing Tips: - AP Focus: Since Guardian has high base damage, prioritize AP (Attack Power) over DP early on. - Evasion vs. DR: Some players prefer Evasion builds for survivability in PvP. - Recommended Accessories: Ogre Ring, Tungrad Earrings, Basilisks Belt. Awakening vs. Succession: - Awakening: Better for PvE grinding and large-scale PvP (big AoEs, high burst). - Succession: Faster, more fluid attacks but lacks the raw power of Awakening. Final Verdict: The Guardian is a great choice for beginners due to her straightforward playstyle and high survivability. She excels in PvE grinding and large-scale PvP but struggles in 1v1 against mobile classes. If you enjoy slow, heavy-hitting warriors with self-healing, shes a fantastic pick. Would you like a detailed skill build or recommendations for PvP combos?
