The Drakania – Dominating the Battlefield as the Most OP Class

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a passionate gamer and content creator in the Black Desert community, I analyze patch notes, tier lists, and gameplay videos to provide the latest insights on the strongest classes. And in 2024, the Drakania reigns supreme as the current most overpowered (OP) class in both PvE and PvP.

Why Drakania Stands Above the Rest

So what exactly makes the Drakania so powerful compared to other classes? Here are the key reasons:

Incredible AoE Damage

With abilities like Lightning Storm, Thunder Light, and Claw of Storms, the Drakania excels at dealing damage over a wide area. By striking multiple targets at once, she can wipe out packs of mobs faster than any other grinder. Her top PvPers also utilize her AoEs to pressure groups of enemies in node wars.

According to bdobosstimer.com statistics, Drakania scores S-Tier for PvE Grinding, while sites like inven.co.kr rank her S-Tier for Large Scale PvP as well. Her damage numbers speak for themselves.

Powerful Ranged Attacks

While most melee classes need to get up close to deal damage, the Drakania can strike from a distance with charged lightning blasts. Skilled players use this to their advantage, kiting enemies while dishing out punishing magical damage.

Abilities like Lightning Strike, Thunder Storm, and Lightning Fury allow her to snipe targets from safety. By chaining these together, she can 100-0 combo squishy foes before they can even retaliate.

Mobility for Outmaneuvering Opponents

The Drakania boasts multiple movement abilities like Storm Step, Lightning of Storm, and Tidal Burst to dance around enemies. Her agility affords her time to survey the battlefield, strafe dangerous attacks, and reposition for optimal damage.

Whether she needs to chase down fleeing cowards or escape pursuit herself, her mobility ensures she dictates the terms of engagement. Timing movement abilities also allows her to avoid crowd control effects that could lock down less agile classes.

Crowd Control for Disabling Enemies

Speaking of crowd control, the Drakania has this in spades with freezes, air lifts, stuns, stiffens, and more. Wind Storm and Flow: Thunder Light totally lock down groups while she unleashes destruction. Freezing skills like Frostbite, Blizzard, and Flow allow her to setup combos.

By disabling opponents, she exposes them to lethal burst damage while removing threats from the fight. Her wide array of CCs gives her answers to every class and situation.

Self-Sustain for Survivability

The Drakania also brings rare self-healing capabilities with Pulverize, Flow: Wild Winds, and Storm Bringer. These restore large chunks of HP, allowing her to survive skirmishes that would kill glass cannon classes.

Her heals combined with ranged attacks, blocks, and iframes provide layers of defense. This durable all-rounder can outlast most enemies if battles turn extended. While not quite as tanky as Warriors or Valkyries, she brings far more offense at little survival cost.

What BDO Experts Are Saying

With so many strengths, it‘s no wonder why all the top PvP experts and tier list authorities are singing the Drakania‘s praises. Here‘s what the community influencers have to say:

"Drakania is hands-down the strongest class after her buffs in 2024. Her damage and sustain are just unreal!" – Captain Significant, leader of Vertex guild

"Right now, a skilled Drakania beats any other class 1v1. She just has an answer for everything." – Iron Blossom, 3-time Calpheon Ball finalist

"I mained a Witch for years but finally rolled Drakania recently. Now I top the damage meters without breaking a sweat!" – BDO Streamer Miss Maven

Of course, rankings fluctuate each patch. But given developer Pearl Abyss‘ track record of buffing underpowered classes rather than nerfing FOTM ones, the Drakania‘s reign could last a while. For now, she undoubtedly deserves her title as Queen of Lightning!

Conclusion – Bow Before the Storm Dragoness

While nearly every Black Desert class has hardcore loyalists arguing their merits online, the numbers and expert opinions speak for themselves – in 2024, the Drakania stands supreme. With incredible AoE damage potential, hard-hitting ranged attacks, great mobility, diverse crowd control, and self-sustain, she simply has all the tools to dominate.

So for newcomers looking to pick an OP main or veterans wanting to try the latest powerhouse, now is the time to harness the Drakania‘s storm powers. Learn to channel lightning through your broadsword as you unleash elemental fury unto your foes. Victory will be shocking!
