Some Pros and Cons of Black Desert Online Shai You Shoud Know

---

This BDO Shai Guide is a basic introduction to Black Desert Online's newest class. Shai was released 26th June 2019 in Black Desert Online on NA servers. The Shai, like all classes in BDO, is gender locked as a female only class. Shai is so cute. She's not like anything the Black Desert had to offer before. I love using her short ranged Boomerang skills.

Shai Class Tiers
● Control: ☆☆☆☆
● Defense: ★☆☆☆
● Combo: ★★☆☆
● Evasion: ★★☆☆
● Attack: ★☆☆☆

Character Creation Key: Class Tier Stats Explained:

• Control: This is a measure of the difficulty in controlling the Shai. The Shai was given 0/4 for Control difficulty by the developers. She has the lowest score out of all classes in Control.

• Defense: Defense measures the Shai's ability to take damage that hits her. This score is 1/4. Expect to get higher damage than a 4 star Valk when you're hit. This stat surprises me since Shai feels a bit more tanky than a rank 1.

• Combo: A Combo is a combination of key presses in a set order to perform a series of powerful moves. This ranking is a measure of the complexity of key combos available to the class. Shai has a ranking of 2 for Combo.

• Evasion: Evasion measures the class ability to evade attacks. Shai has 2/4 in Evasion, so we should expect the Shai to not evade as well as a Ranger, for example, who has max Evasion.

• Attack: Attack measures how much damage this class can dish out. Shai scores a 1/4 in Attack, which is the lowest of all classes.

Highlights of Shai:

• Compared to other classes, there is the Smallest arsenal of skill sets to choose.
• Fantastic whimsy: try playing and don't smile when she dances. 
• Impotent ability for a short time limited by stamina
• It is currently limited to a new and improved donkey mount. (despite the increased speed, turning can still be tricky.)
• Life Skill Bonuses: Increased LT when leveling up and starts with Gathering & Alchemy at Professional 1.
• Powerful single target PVE, but lacks extensive AOE and range.
• Quick attack skills with low Cooldowns.
• She has amazing self sustain and high HP.
• Some skills don't land if mob is on a hill. Shallow water sometimes makes her swim.
• Very weak offensive PVP (severe damage reduction penalty)

This BDO Shai guide is a simple overview to highlight the pros and cons. After reading this guide, you should have a better understanding of Shai, if you want to know more, please stay with us.
