Black Desert BDO Mystic Guide 2022 (2024)

Gear Builds For The Mystic

Pure AP Build

https://bdoplanner.com/LightParryingSages

Helmet: It’s a toss up between Griffon and Giath. With the recent changes to CC having high resistance has become a priority. Making Griffon ultimately better than Giath. 2x Intimidation crystals

Chest: Dim Tree providing 200 HP is superior to other choices. 2x JIN Cobe

Gloves: Bheg’s is the default choice for gloves to reach the 350+ accuracy recommendation for optimal damage. At least 1x JIN Viper is recommended.

Boots: Urugon Boots are the most optimal choice for this build. High DR stats with some evasion, making them better than Muskans for this build.

Mainhand: Offin/Kzarka can both work in this build, the goal is 269+ AP. It’s the highest point for Bonus AP.

Offhand: Nouver is the best offhand for this build. Crystals will vary depending on Striker vs Mystic.

Belt: Basilisk’s belt is the intro belt for this build but ultimately you’ll want to switch to Tungrad belt (If you’re rich, you can skip the Basilisk belt)

Necklace: Ogre or Tungrad neck would be the best choice for this build.

Rings: Crescent’s are the best rings for this build. Eventually we’ll get Tungrad Rings and they will become end-game rings.

Earrings: Tungrad Earrings are the goal for this build.

Alch Stone: Vell’s Heart is the best in slot alchemy stone. High stats and 3 sheet AP.

Costume Crystal: Both Crit and Move Speed are equally acceptable.

Kyrie’s Pure DP Build

https://bdoplanner.com/WeaponBasilisksBarhans(edited)

Helmet: Heve is chosen here due to 2 extra hidden DR and set bonus of 250HP over Rocaba’s 5 All Evasion. Rocaba is a viable option as HP is only “staying power”, not mitigation.

Chest: Dim Tree’s HP is valueable staying power.

Gloves: Heve Gloves set bonus. Vipers are not picked here because damage is not your goal and CC is irrelevant to hit-rate.

Shoes: Current high AP/renoun meta makes extremely high amounts of Evasion (700+) valued over Damage Reduction due to being able to outscale Accuracy faster than AP.

Mainhand: Kzarka & Offin can both be used in this build. Offin can put you in a higher AP bracket (extra DR), but Kzarka gives you a good amount of accuracy.

Offhand: Rosar Vambrace is the best option for this build. Extra Ap and 2 crystal slots.

Neck: Bensho is slightly valued over Sicil in this slot due to 1DR, 2 All and 4 Hidden Evasion.

Belt: Centaur over-values every other DP item in the game due to HP

Rings: No viable Evasion option makes Cadry HP, DR your best option.

Earrings: Same as Cadry, more expensive and harder to enhance due to being a craftable item and not a monster loot drop. Ruby Manos are valued over PEN Token of Friendship due to Evasion and allowing you to aim for TET Ruby Manos later.

Alch Stone: Protection for tanks

Costume Crystal: Movement Speed due to none from boot gems.

NOTES:
All items in this build are under or around 1 billion silver (NA), this makes this build very cheap and competitive while remaining nearly unkillable as of date. Your goal is to tank, distract, CC, and axe forts.

There is an argument here for Red Nose and Rocaba for pure mitigation. If you can survive longer than 1minute and 30seconds you’ve regen’d more HP than Dim Tree’s 200HP, this number goes down with Blue Ressurection pots (15hp/s) but testing needs to be done.

Other options include stacking Damage Reduction in the form of Urugons, Griffon, and Iron Vambrace, weapon core, ancient seal, rhutum belt, and token of friendship

Notes:

1. Dragon Shatter(RMB) is the awakening version of Thunder pound, since it doesn’t have Super Armor or Frontal Guard its not great for trades, but it great for the Down Smash and in PVE as a filler.

2. Lock all abilities not being upgraded!

3. Locking Scissor Kick (W+F) allows you to use awaken W+F from pre-awaken.

4. Hurricane Sweep is our new +500HP recovery skill

Mystic Awakening Tips:

1. Hurricane Sweep (F) Restores 200HP per kick (doesn’t have to hit a target & if you use the S+F keybind, the whole skill will go on CD.)

2. Dragon Shatter(RMB) is the awakening version of Thunder pound, since it doesn’t have Super Armor or Frontal Guard its not great for trades, but it great for the Down Smash and in PVE as a filler.

Transitional skills

Pre-awaken > Awakening: Spiral Torpedo(W+F), Tranquility(Shift+Space), Sea Burial(W+RMB), Wolf Frenzy(Shift+F), Wave Orb(S+LMB+RMB), Dragon’s Rip (S+E)

(These skills will also work from quick slot. is S+LMB+RMB in pre-awaken & LMB+RMB in awakening)

Awakening > Pre-awaken: Twisted Collision(Q), Crouching Wolf(from quick slot)

Quickslot Recommendations

– – when used from quickslot in awakening, swap you to preawakening

– :UnbridledWrath: – used to be for same reason as above^, now it’s preference

– – only usable from quickslot

scissor kick / – these both have the same input, and can be used in preawaken to swap to awaken, so putting only 1 of them on quickslot will allow you to pick which you use(alternatively many people just lock scissor kick if they don’t want to use it)

Animation Cancels

– > – cuts out the fall animation of and rising animation of , press Q then press and hold W + RMB right as begins

– / > or using in preawak – skips charge of

– > most skills(most notably ) – cuts out the last hit of

– > – cut dash short to grab

– > / / – cuts out recovery frames of

Locked Skills

evasion, sweaping kick, fatal smash, fist fury, hidden claw, death clout, splinter thud, deva queen, ankle hook, adamantine

100% Trick

Using followed by a 100% makes the vacuum linger through most of the ult. This can be great for small/large scale pvp.
