He does not part with his lion, which attacks opponents, diverts attention to himself, and also buffs the character. Also, starting from level 49, a mystic can ride a lion on horseback, of course, this is not, but beautiful.
This character does not have a lot of damage, but he is strong in another thing - control. The mystic jams and stops everything he can reach.
character before awakening
When equipping, we must not forget that the timer needs stamina - it is consumed a lot when moving, blinking, in which it is invulnerable. Therefore, the more beds, the better.

In PVE - don't bother, run into the crowd of mobs, use the Lion's Roar. We go to the next crowd of mobs. If the mobs didn’t fall from the roar, it’s easier to go to the spot where the mobs are easier - take it in quantity.
In PVP, we help our allies with controls, using Lightning Field, Horror Strike and Lion's Roar on a rollback - we run into the crowd, use it, run away. Ult without a charge of 100% makes no sense to use at all.

Mystic, or "tamer", as he is often called by the regulars of Russian-speaking servers, is rightfully considered one of the most controversial and ambiguous classes in the game. Let's see where BeastMaster (Tamer) will show his best qualities, and what type of gamers will definitely not like him.
What does it represent?
Many users who are just getting acquainted with BDO mistakenly compare this class with "summoners" familiar to them from other projects, for example, and even Diablo sequels. But everything is quite different.
Mystic is just a cute little girl. In fact, this is a powerful "dodge", which is capable of inflicting good damage on opponents on its own. And, in combination with a pumped-over pet, the “tamer” turns into a real machine for “farming”. No wonder this class competes with the barbarian for the title of the best mob smasher in Black Desert.
As for PvP, everything is not so clear-cut here. At the initial stages of the game, the mystic is able to “drag” any opponent 1x1 at the expense of a pet (it is often called a lion, a dog, or even a “catops” due to its similarity with both feline representatives and man’s best friends). But at higher levels, when other classes can easily cope with a pet, "tamer" becomes easy prey in duel fights. But thanks to a large number of useful skills with a massive “buff” and damage, they like to take him in “parties” in 2v2, 5v5 confrontations and in sieges.
Since the launch of the CBT on Korean servers, the mystic has undergone numerous changes. In general, whether it's a "nerf" or a "boost", they only benefited the class. But in general, this is a chic mobile class with simple controls, good damage and interesting combos. True, with weak indicators of protection. Which is not surprising, given the presence of such a powerful additional weapon as a pet that is murderous in every sense of the word.
Advantages and disadvantages of the class
The main feature of the mystic is, of course, his pet. Not only is a tamed animal capable of inflicting impressive damage on several targets at once, but it also perfectly “stuns” and “controls” the enemy, which is extremely useful in PvP. You can also ride on it. But this is rather a minus for the “tamer”, because, having saddled her main weapon, a pretty girl immediately loses in damage, and in mobility too.
In addition to the advantages of the class, you should add its mobility, a large number of combinations that increase survivability and damage, as well as the ability to move quickly even in the midst of opponents. The main disadvantage of "tamer" is that at high levels, "pet" ceases to bring too much benefit. If this is not very noticeable in the fight against mobs, then in PvP, especially 1x1 fights, the class turns into a “whipping girl” as soon as the enemy cracks down on living creatures.
Key Skills
Like other inhabitants of BDO, the skills of the Mystic depend on the chosen style of play. Some of the most useful in the class experienced users consider:
lion roar- restores strength at the expense of enemies, and also allows you to overturn the enemy. Even after cutting on Korean servers, many continue to swing this "skill" and consider it extremely important.
Discharge- Deals damage to all enemies around. One of the most "damaging" mass skills of the class.
Stream blow. Allows the Mystic to perfectly dodge even a group of enemies.
Heaven strike. You make a capture and discard the ill-wisher.
Trap. Allows you to kick while evading an enemy attack, while dealing good damage.
air poison- a skill thanks to which you simultaneously hit and push the enemy back.
Vampirism- allows you to restore hit points when dealing damage to an enemy. Not the most important, but sometimes a useful skill.
In addition, the class has enough other useful skills, but you should choose and develop them directly for your style of play.
Weapons and equipment
It should be noted right away that in PvE for mystics, equipment at first does not matter at all. Your pet will do all the work for you. But from the weapon, you should pay attention to the Asvel blade for “farming” mobs at low levels. After the fortieth level, it is desirable to acquire a “fluffy” Yuria. And after the fiftieth and above, everything is as usual - Liberto, Kzark. As a second weapon, it is advisable to take something for accuracy or damage increase.
As an optimal set for a mystic, either Agerian (white) or Grunil (purple) is suitable. Again, depending on which play style you prefer.
"Sharpening" and "awakening"
First of all, this class needs survivability and the speed of using skills to pump out ammunition, because this is a very mobile and agile character. With a lack of accuracy, you can slightly disperse this indicator. And you should awaken those skills on which your gameplay is tied. For a solo, these can be damage and survival skills or a “pet” buff, and for a “support” one of the mass “skills”.
The Mystic in Black Desert is one of the five classes that have existed since the game's release (along with the Barbarian, Sorceress, Warrior and Archer). The human teenage girl was probably conceived as a class specifically for kawaii lovers. However, appearances are deceiving: this cute creature in capable hands becomes a dangerous opponent, able to compete on equal terms in PVP against representatives of other classes.
Black Lion
The main feature of the Mystic, which no one else has, is the ability to summon the Black Lion, a powerful ally that helps in battle, and can also be used as a means of transportation. In the latter case, it is not the best of the existing mounts: the movement speed is low and does not increase in any way, and the acceleration does not last long, as it uses the character's vigor. In addition, unlike a horse, an elephant or a camel, the Black Lion does not know how to transport goods. You can use this skill only when the character reaches level 50.
However, such an ally is not called for at all for this. Having given the command to attack all visible targets, the Mystic can relax and do nothing else: all the monsters in the line of sight will be destroyed by the Black Lion. This allows you to use one little trick: by looping the route along the autopath and giving the command to attack, the Mystic can farm mobs in AFK mode while the player is busy with other things, and the pets loot the drop. The infinite farm is limited only by the cooldown for using the skill - after 30 minutes the Black Lion disappears, and it must be called again.
It is also worth noting that the Mystics are "cardboard" - initially they have a lower health reserve compared to other characters, when pumping this parameter they also do not receive an impressive increase, but at the same time they are extremely mobile. Despite the fact that the mystic is equipped with melee weapons in both stances, he can only be used as a tank at a very high level of protection.
Main rack
Until level 56, Mystics use the Blade as their primary weapon and the trinket attached to it as their secondary weapon. By the way, the same main weapon is used by two more classes - Kunoichi and Ninja, so mystics usually have less problems finding ready-made equipment at the auction.
First of all, it is recommended to pump skills that increase the Black Lion's attack power and health level. If there are free skill points left, you can spend them on strengthening the most damaging skills based on your own playstyle.
Mystic also has an enemy grab, which is traditionally activated by pressing the E button (it is also recommended to swing to the maximum), several types of kicks, a dash with a cooldown of just one second, as well as a buff to increase attack, defense, critical damage chance, attack speed and a movement duration of 60 seconds, affecting all allies. This makes the Mystic useful in any group - both during mass PvP and when raiding a world boss. But the block needed by the melee player is not in the main stance of this class.
Awakened Stance
After completing the quest to awaken the weapon, the Mystic can use the Chanbon, a man-sized war pole. As with any class, the gameplay changes drastically: even if you didn’t particularly like the fighting style used, with a pole all attacks become extremely dynamic and spectacular. In addition, a block becomes available, which, with the proper level of character protection, cannot be broken at all.
Also unlocked is Black Lion: Roar, which draws the attention of monsters to the summoned creature, allowing it to be used as a tank. Combinations in the awakened stance are based on finishing off opponents with chanbon. Like many classes, the most powerful abilities are activated only at level 58. It is not for nothing that many BDO players believe that a class can only be fully appreciated by leveling up to this level and having studied all the required skills.
Appearance and style
As mentioned above, unlike other classes, whose representatives are adults, elves or giants, the Mystic in BDO is so far the only teenager. This leaves an imprint on her appearance and behavior: somewhat angular movements when walking, which distinguishes many teenagers in real life, as well as short stature - representatives of this class barely reach the rest of the chest, and Varvara is generally waist-deep.
When creating a character, it is impossible for Mystic to make big breasts, which is so loved by many players, and also to add wrinkles, if suddenly there was a desire “for fun” to play a fidgety dry old woman. The set of tattoos is almost identical for all other classes, and the Mystics are also different.
Teenage restrictions can be seen in the appearance of all types, as well as the costumes of their premium store: Mystique is not available for overtly sexy outfits - only colorful dresses with ribbons, fox or cat costumes, various rabbit ears and, oddly enough, luxurious hussar mustaches used instead piercing.
Even having bought paints of gloomy shades for painting equipment and having carefully rummaged around with setting up the character’s appearance, you still won’t be able to create a brutal or dangerous-looking Mystic - the output still turns out to be a nyasha. Perhaps it is for this feature that this one is loved by many anime fans. However, hardcore fans of heavy metal do not refuse to play as Mystic - her ability to use chanbon can undoubtedly be called one of the most interesting combat mechanics in Black Desert.
Mystic in the game Black Desert is one of the most interesting and unusual characters. This little girl cannot boast of a huge sword or a magical staff that can strike the enemy with lightning or fireballs. She does not have strong armor, but at the same time, Mystic is a very serious opponent, who is a great danger to any fighter. The main secret of this girl is the unique ability to summon the Black Lion, which acts as a reliable defense against all enemies inhabiting the Black Desert gaming space. The control of the Black Lion is carried out with the help of special spells and commands that send him into the thick of battles. In order to successfully play as a Mystic, you need to carefully study all his strengths and weaknesses, understand the strategy for building a skill build, and also choose the right equipment, magic jewelry and inlay stones. In this review, we will consider in detail all the advantages and disadvantages of this character, talk about his combat and magic skills, which can be useful both in single battles and in large battles with a large number of friendly allies. We hope that this information will be useful to everyone who plans to play Black Desert as a Mystic.
Strengths and weaknesses of the Mystic
At the first glance at a miniature girl, it is difficult to imagine that this character, even before awakening, has crushing power. Her amazing ability to maintain invulnerability during dizzying jumps and somersaults far exceeds the skills of other fighters. But the main potential opens at about the fiftieth level. Up to this point, the character most often acts as support for allies. The Mystic can effortlessly delay a dangerous enemy to gently bring him under the lethal blows of his teammates. After the forty-ninth level in the BDO Mystic, awakening unlocks the character's hidden abilities, after which the little girl becomes a formidable force, capable of inflicting crushing blows with the help of the Thunder Chanbon, created by the masters of antiquity. In addition, she can not only summon the Black Lion, but also ride it, instilling fear in the ranks of enemies and helping to reduce the population of the spawning evil spirits.
As for the shortcomings, they include very monotonous fighting techniques. Unfortunately, the Mystic cannot boast of a huge arsenal of skills. In this, he loses to the skills of a Wizard armed with a magic staff, or Maeve, who perfectly wields two combat blades, literally chopping her opponent to shreds. In addition, the weakness of the Mystic is too low defense. Of course, the girl knows how to perfectly jump and dodge the smashing blows of the enemy. But if she fails to dodge, then she can take critical damage in a matter of moments. To avoid this, you need to try to dodge close fights, as well as carefully select ammunition that will help increase the level of protection of the character. This applies to all aspects of equipment selection, from armor to the right choice of inlay stones. In addition, you need to pay attention to regular training, since any mistake in the fights with evil spirits can end sadly for the Mystic and his Black Lion.
Combat skills and abilities
Let's make a reservation right away that when choosing combat skills, each player should rely solely on their own preferences and their own style of play. We will not dispute the game tactics, since when considering the development tree, we are based only on the opinions of professional players and their recommendations regarding the usefulness of certain Mystic skills. In the future, the player must make the final choice and make an independent decision about whether it is worth pumping the skill in full accordance with his character development tactics.
- Dissecting leaf fall. This is a standard automatic attack for any class, which is performed using the main weapon. It is characterized by extremely low damage with the restoration of a minimum amount of mana. Therefore, the development of this skill is inappropriate.
- Heaven strike. During this kick, the Mystic grabs the opponent and knocks them down with a graceful kick for two seconds. The player can, with free points, learn the first level, and then move on to the development of more effective skills.
- Mobile evasion. The mystic performs a sharp jump in any direction to avoid being hit by the enemy. During the jump, he becomes invulnerable. Knowing about the weakness of the Mystic's defense, we recommend pumping this skill to the limit.
- Jump from above. Using this skill, the Mystic can quickly close the distance with the enemy, then to hit him in melee. Despite its apparent usefulness, the skill is not of particular interest due to low damage and accuracy. We don't think it's worth the skill point investment.
- Evasion attack. This is a kind of evasion from enemy attacks, combined with an attack. It can be used twice if you study the "Water Rush" branch. Not the most useful skill, so learning one level will be enough.
- Hail of blows. This skill involves performing a series of kicks. In the opinion of professional players, this skill is not of great interest for the effective leveling of the Mystic. Therefore, it makes no sense to spend too many skill points on learning it.
- Chosen One. But this is a very useful skill that is used to control the enemy. The mystic throws up an enemy and then knocks them over onto their opponents. With development, the opportunity opens up for inflicting an additional attack in the air. Learn to the limit.
- Summon the Black Lion. This skill is in absolute priority for players who have chosen Mystic. With the development of the strength of the Black Lion will gradually increase. Therefore, you should not wish for skill points to learn a new level.
- Absorption of the Black Lion. The Mystic can sacrifice a summoned Black Lion in exchange for a temporary boost to his skills. We recommend using this skill only in exceptional cases, when the Black Lion is running out of time or his health is at a minimum.
- Thunderclap. This is a very strong blow, which, in combination with its offshoot "Otherworldly Strike", presents a huge danger to the enemies of the Mystic. This is due to the fact that this skill deals very significant damage to opponents. Definitely worth developing to the limit.
- Lightning field. This attack allows you to pull the enemy, as well as deal damage to him and reduce the speed of his attack. When Black Lion reaches level 7, he turns into a destructive whirlwind, dealing frenzied damage over four seconds. Learn without question.
- Black Lion: Throat burn. With this skill, you can not only push the enemy away, but also deal serious damage to him while he is in the air. A very useful skill, so we recommend learning to the maximum mark.
- Black Lion: Powerful wave. Having received a command from his little mistress, the Black Lion begins to intensively gnaw at the indicated target. If the enemy is on the ground, then the damage inflicted on him increases significantly. We strongly recommend that you study this skill to the end.
- Black Lion: Uppercut with a paw. This strike is performed by the Black Lion, easily knocking down opponents who are on horseback. The damage from such a blow reaches simply unimaginable proportions, so you must definitely learn this skill.
Protective equipment Mystic
For the Mystic, the issue of protection is of great importance. This should be taken into account when choosing equipment, which should not only enhance the objective advantages of the character, but also smooth out all his shortcomings. That is why it is better for the Mystic to use equipment that can fully reveal the attacking potential. Let's take a closer look at the types of weapons, the most effective sets of armor and jewelry, and also take a separate look at inlay stones that increase stamina and defense.
Main and secondary weapons
At the very beginning of the game, the Mystic may well get by with Yuria's blade. Then this weapon can be changed to the Liberto Blade. The player should try to improve it to +15 or higher. If this does not work, then you can continue the game with Yuria's blade, improving it to +15 and yellow quality. This will help reduce the difference in attack power. In the future, you need to strive to equip the Mystic with the blade of Kzark. At this point in time, this blade is the best weapon, giving more accuracy and attack speed +3. Kutum bracelets can be used as an additional weapon. These bracelets provide the necessary bonuses to attack and defense, as well as significantly increase accuracy and damage against enemies. In addition, Kutum's bracelets also provide +10% to enemy attack resistance. That is why they are considered the best weapon for single skirmishes with the enemy. At high levels, the Mystic can use Nouver's bracelets. To use these bracelets, you must first gain at least +350 Accuracy. But this is quite justified, because they can always come in handy in skirmishes against opponents with high damage reduction rates.
Maximum Effective Armor
Many professional players say that the best armor option for the Mystic is the Grunil set. Such a set significantly increases the maximum health reserve and gives slots for installing inlay stones. In addition, if the player manages to collect all the items from this set, then they will receive an increase in attack stats. As alternative options for the Mystique, you can use the Jeres Helmet, Jeres Armor, Jeres Shoes and Ajeri Gloves. The cost of these items is much less, as they require fewer stones. At the same time, the player receives an impressive bonus from the Jeres set, which is +200 to maximum stamina and +5 to damage for all races. As a result, these items provide resistance to the character's rollover, +5 to the speed of restoration of vitality, +50 to carrying capacity, +200 to maximum endurance, as well as +1 to attack speed and +1 to casting speed.
A set of jewelry for this class
Despite the rather large selection of jewelry in the game, the player will need a fair amount of luck to get some items. We will not dwell on how to get certain jewelry, but only talk about what items can be useful to the Mystic.
- Earrings. Your best bet is Asula's Eye Earrings, which gives +7 Attack Power and a nice set effect. Alternatively, Earrings of Pares, which gives +2 to attack power, or Earrings of blue coral, which also increase attack power, are quite suitable.
- Rings. If a player is just starting to upgrade the Timer in BDO, then he should try to get Asula's Eye Ring. This ring gives +7 attack, +2 defense, and +2 damage reduction. If you can't find this ring, then you can get the Ring of Pares or any other ring with a bonus to attack power.
- necklaces. Starting the game, the Mystic can easily get by with Asula's Eye Necklace, which has bonuses of +11 to attack, +3 to defense, and +3 to damage reduction. This necklace can then be upgraded to Serap's Necklace or Schultz's Gladiator's Necklace, both of which greatly increase your Attack Rating.
- Belts. First you need to try to get Asula's Eye Belt with a bonus that gives +6 to attack. In the future, you can look for Shultz's Gladiator's Belt or Basilisk's Belt. These belts also have additional bonuses to the Mystic's attack.
Installation of inlay stones
When choosing inlay stones, we also focus on attack speed and increased survivability, as they are important for this particular class. Most often, experienced players advise placing the following stones:
- on a helmet to increase resistance, it is better to install Amethyst (Barrier);
- Iolite (Health) can be put on the body to increase vitality;
- gloves can be equipped with Amber, which increases attack speed;
- Malachite (Resilience) is quite suitable for boots, increasing resistance to tipping over;
- on the main weapon, you can put a Valuable grenade (Attack Speed);
- for additional weapons, it is better to put Garnet (Capture) or Garnet (Attack on the bottom).
If there are free resources, the player can put the Essence of the Blood Arena on the main weapon, which gives +1 to the chance of a critical hit, +1 to attack speed, +3 to damage to people. The Essence of the Red Spirit is perfect for a secondary weapon, giving +100 to maximum health, +5 to attack, +3 to damage to people. Of course, these stones cost a lot of money, but they will significantly increase the combat characteristics of the Mystic.
Summary of this review
Summing up this review, it is safe to say that the Mystic turned out to be a very unusual character. Managing this class is not very difficult. There are no too difficult combinations here. Even a novice player who understands how to summon a lion quickly becomes a formidable opponent. At the same time, the player who plays the Mystic must always be on his guard. He should not let enemies get too close to his character. This is especially true of warriors and barbarians, specially sharpened for close combat. In addition, the appearance of the Mystic deserves special attention, which will appeal to all fans of Japanese and Korean animation, which is distinguished by its characteristic manner of drawing characters. That is why the pretty girl sitting on the back of the Black Lion enjoys great love and wild popularity among many professional players living in Korea and Russia.
Hello to all adventure lovers who came to our blog. We continue our story about the amazing and unpredictable world of Black Desert. Mystic is perhaps the most controversial class in this game. After reading our article, you will learn about the pros and cons of playing for this hero, and you will know his strengths and weaknesses.
The girl who calls the beast to her side and is known to the players of Korean servers as Tamer is considered one of the most tenacious characters in this online-RPG. And this despite the fact that she does not have a huge supply of HP, nor strong protection. Her main tool of defense and attack is the lion, which does all the work. And our heroine at this moment calmly stands aside and enjoys the process. I wonder why this is happening? Reading!
Main characteristics
Mystic is not a difficult class to manage. To apply the necessary combinations of skills and combo attacks, you do not have to train the skills of a pianist and press a bunch of buttons, as in the situation with the same.
The Defense Mystic is the most fragile character in the game. The question arises: how did the mystic win the title of the most tenacious class? Everything is very simple. The mistress of a huge black lion does not have to enter into an open confrontation with opponents alone. And during her dexterous movements and jumps, she is invulnerable.
A good attack and a huge supply of devastating combos allow the tamer to quickly and unexpectedly attack enemies, protecting his allies. But for all its advantages, the mystic in Black Desert plays the role of support. Protecting the members of her group from the blows of opponents, the summoning girl at the same time takes the most active part in the battle. And here, too, there are some nuances, which we figured out and present to your attention.
First, let's briefly talk about fights with other players - PvP. This is a favorite pastime of many players, but if you want to do pvp alone, then it is better to opt for a warrior or an archer. You can read the game features of these heroes from the guides about and. After reading our articles on these classes, you will immediately understand why. And the potential of the tamer is revealed in group battles 2x2, 3x3 and 5x5, where there is someone to support and not be exposed to the blows of opponents.
In mass PvP, your main task will be to protect the hit squads of sorceresses and archers. Using control skills, the mystic holds back the onslaught of enemies, while her powerful allies smash hordes of opponents to smithereens with their devastating attacks. The ability to work in a team is one of the determining factors for success in pvp for this class.
The appearance of the tamer will appeal to fans of anime and manga. No matter how you change her appearance in the editor, in the end you will still get something that resembles an anime character. Her main weapon is a neat blade, which she uses quite skillfully. And, of course, one cannot fail to mention the huge black lion, which is ready to rush to the aid of its mistress at the first call.
The developers endowed him with a good supply of various controls and the ability to bite very painfully. The strength and power of this beast to some extent pays for the fragility of the character himself. But any mistake in a serious fight will lead to the loss of the tamer. In such a situation, even a good gear will not save her. So, playing as this class, you will always have to be on your guard and keep enemies out of melee range, especially warriors and .
In PvE, the mystic feels quite comfortable. In the arsenal of a pretty trainer there are several handy skills for destroying mobs. But we will talk about this a little later. There are no fundamental locations for downloading a tamer in the game. Choose any place that suits you.
Equipment and weapons
One of the main questions for each player who has chosen a mystic is what set to put on a character in order to enhance his strengths and smooth out his shortcomings. If you are looking for the perfect gear suitable for PvE and PvP, then this is Jeres. The Boss set is also suitable for destroying mobs. As far as PvP goes, the Taritas armor is the best choice here.
In the first stages, either Yuria or Liberto is used as the main weapon. Subsequently, he will be replaced by Kzark. For PvE, it is convenient to combine offhand attack and jewelry that will increase damage. In pvp, additional weapons that increase evasion and maximum HP are more useful. If you manage to get an offhand from a dragon in Valencia, it makes sense to combine it with protection jewelry.
Next, you should think about reinforcing the costume with inlay stones. We insert gems into the body for hp, into the legs - to knock over the enemy, into the hands - for attack, hp and attack speed. For the main weapon, use stones for crit or attack speed. The set bonus is given not only from four, but also from three things, so you have the opportunity to look for profitable combinations of things that create the perfect balance for your character.
Tamer skills
Of course, each player, as he develops, creates his own unique tamer build, based on his personal preferences and individual style of play. We will look at the development tree of this class and reflect on which of the skills should be downloaded first and which ones can be left for later. But the final choice in any case will depend only on you.
1. Leaf Cleaver - Traditionally, all classes in Black Desert have their auto-attack first on the list. Despite the rather poetic and intricate name, the skill itself is rather mediocre. The character makes several weak hits and restores a small amount of mana. The latter can be useful if there are not enough cans in stock. In addition, some sources claim that the strength of the blows of the mystic's pet depends on the auto-attack. So it’s still worth pumping the skill, but definitely not among the first.
2. Sky Strike is one of the main control skills that the character uses directly. The skill allows you to capture the enemy, located at a short distance, and accurately throw him to the ground. In the course of pumping, it also becomes possible to hook several more enemies during the throw. The downside is that the target is only knocked over for two seconds. To begin with, you can pump by one, and raise it to the maximum when there are free skill points.
3. Mobile evasion is one of the most useful skills. The character makes a jump, during which he is invulnerable, and retreats from the enemy at a decent distance. This skill you will use all the time, as it is the main way to avoid deadly blows in pvp. And therefore it makes sense to download it to the maximum at the first opportunity. The effectiveness of the “Lunge” skill, which we will talk about a little later, will also depend on its level.
4. Jump from above - at first glance, the skill may seem useful. He promises the opportunity to break the distance and attack the enemy in close combat. But in reality, this skill is very inconvenient to use, inaccurate and ineffective in terms of damage. So spending points on it is highly discouraged.
5. Dodge attack - a strafe attack, which also has the "Water Rush" add-on. On the one hand, this is a good way to restore mana during fights with monsters. On the other hand, the skill consumes a lot of stamina, which is vital for jumping.
6. Hail of blows - an absolutely meaningless and ineffective series of blows. And the worst way to spend skill points.
7. Chosen - the second useful skill for capsizing. Also allows you to throw the enemy, then to use one of the attacks in the air. We study to the end, but only after pumping farm skills.
8. The call of the black lion - everything is clear from the name. We download first of all, because the pet is our main weapon. Priority Skill.
9. Absorption of the black lion - when using the skill, the lion is sacrificed in exchange for a good buff for all allies that are within a short distance from you. A very ambiguous skill, especially considering that a tamer can do little without his pet. It makes sense to use it only in a situation where nothing threatens you.
10. Flash - Flash: Pierce - Flash: Spin - Claw - a very branched series, which does not need to be pumped at all. Combos have some potential for the future if the developers reduce the animation and add more damage. As it stands now, this branch is no match for more useful skills.
11. Thunderclap - Otherworldly Strike - probably the most useful series that can be found in the mystic tree. Otherworldly Strike - aka "Fist" - when fully pumped, deals simply unrealistic damage with a guaranteed chance of a critical hit. Therefore, we develop it to the maximum.
12. Black Lion: Whip is a good alternative to the previous skill. It practically does not lag behind him in terms of damage and will definitely appeal to those who do not like to strain too hard during the game. No complex combinations and cancellation of animation - just a quick and spectacular destruction of opponents. In any case, you will have to pump a skill per unit, and then you choose. In order not to waste skill points, it is better to learn one thing: either Whip or Otherworldly Strike.
13. Lightning Field - the skill allows the pet to go into a four-second AoE, stunning opponents and causing huge damage. This skill opens up unlimited potential for controlling gaping enemies, so we study it without even thinking.
14. Black Lion: Throat Burn is a skill focused exclusively on pvp. Knocks back an enemy and deals additional damage when it hits an enemy in the air. This is especially nice when you consider that the mystic has good knock-up skills in his arsenal. A must to study.
15. Black Lion: Cat's Paw - The skill is useful, for the most part, due to the rollover effect. As you level up, the number of targets and the accompanying accuracy debuff increase. One of those useful skills that are definitely worth downloading.
16. Black Lion: Earth Lightning - quite a powerful blow to a group of enemies. It is worth pumping to the maximum as soon as free points appear.
17. Black Lion: Powerful wave - at first, the skill may seem weak. But at maximum pumping, it gives tangible damage to lying targets. After activating it, the pet is transferred to the mystic and makes a series of dashes to the capture point of the enemy. Thus, if you started to develop this skill, then you need to pump it to the maximum.
18. Black Lion: Horror Strike is an AoE stun that is well worth researching. With further pumping, significant benefits will not increase.
19. Black Lion: Claw Strike is a 100% mystic ultimate that deals massive damage in a short amount of time. We download immediately after the farm skills.
20. Black Lion: Claws - a beautiful skill that deals additional damage in the form of 5% of the hero's maximum mana level. We recommend to study, if not in the first place, then in the second place. It will be useful when fighting bosses and other players - the more your mana, the more damage will be.
21. Black Lion: Lion's Roar - This skill is most useful until level 50. The initial stage of pumping is free, and it is quite enough to bring down enemies with one hit at the first stages with the support of a pet. And when they become thicker, you will already have more powerful skills pumped.
As for the awakening of skills, there are no hard and fast rules. It would be nice to get +15% attack speed on Beyond Strike. It also makes sense to get the movement speed debuff for Thunderbolt. This will allow you to more effectively catch archers and mages. On the skill "Cat's Paw" it is worth catching instant health regeneration, which will enhance the initial regeneration of this skill. With this awakening, your character will not be so dependent on cans for HP.
If you read the description of the mystic skills carefully, you can already understand what to expect from this anime with a lion when you have it in your opponents. First of all, it is the lion that should be feared, because of its damage and abilities. Or, as an option, try to catch the mystic himself at the moment when she is not ready for this - but for this you will have to try very hard.
In any case, the main rule when fighting a mystic is to avoid the attacks of the lion if possible and try to get the tamer with your skills. Logically, this task is easier for archers who deal damage at a great distance.
In general, we liked the mystic. It has its pros and cons, and it takes a special kind of mindset to play well. The class is suitable for those who have already played support characters and like to heal, apply buffs and help their friends without getting into melee.
The only nuance is that there is no male character in this class. What do you think, if there was a male mystic, what would his pet be like? Black lioness or panther? Or someone else?
