[Events] At Long Last, My Time Has Come

Sage, the Savior Awakened from Eternal Slumber



"The Last Ancient"

Soon, the blood-eyed, dark invaders will seek out these lands.
On that day, I shall make my return from eternity.



[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Sage is the first caster-type class developed ever since Wizard and Witch's release. We wanted a figure depicting the archetype of the Ancients, a character that would also be very appealing to our NA/EU Adventurers. Sage was an actual denizen of the ancient kingdom whose ruins have been found all over the world of Black Desert. A scientist and Ancient Weapons researcher, he taught students atop an ivory tower.

A master of time and space, Sage commands both to unleash destructive power. After the teaser aired, some viewers wondered if Sage was "a Bitcoin class?" due to cube-shaped object shown in the teaser. That was "Kyve,” Sage's main weapon, which he wields to open rifts in space and call forth Ator's Fist to crush his foes, as well as plenty of other powerful offensive magic.

Sage can accelerate time and manipulate space to reduce the cooldown of specific skills or open rifts in space to move short distances, regardless of obstacles in his path. This allows him to position himself strategically to gain the upper hand in combat. He also has the unique trait and advantage of utilizing his skill combinations to make himself adaptable to what the situation calls for.

All of his skill effects are highlighted by colorful, kaleidoscope-like visuals, which capture the mysticism and beauty of the ancient's combat style. Lastly, Sage can enter Hystria Ruins or Aakman Temple directly with no materials and will have Succession available at launch.




[h2]“I will save you from the blood-eyed invaders.”[/h2]
Sealing himself away to thwart the impending destruction, Sage re-opened his eyes only to learn that the ancient kingdom that he belonged to was long gone. But why has Sage arisen now?

[h2]Sage’s Combat Style[/h2]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Sage wields the Kyve, made of a special substance he developed, and the magic-filled Talisman. He uses Kyve's special ability to freely change its form to distort time and space, bringing forth powerful physical forces. Sage can inflict damage with powerful attacks from afar and interrupt foes who try to catch him off guard. Also, he can quickly re-position himself in the thick of battle and turn the odds to his favor. His versatility enables Sage to carry out multiple roles depending on what the situation calls for.

Bear witness to Sage as he flips the hourglass of fate in his long-awaited return to this world.
