Hailing from the forests near Florin, Shai is the first support class featured in Black Desert on PlayStation 4. Shai utilizes new combat abilities and skill-buffs that are focused on avoiding danger and aiding her allies. On the other hand, Mystic is a powerful brawler, pummeling opponents with a variety of devastating martial-arts skills that strike fear into her foes.
See below for more details on Shai and Mystic’s skills, along with information on the new Dark Rifts.
Shai Skills
- One-Two-Three – Shai’s basic attack using the Florang, which can be thrown up to three times.
- Eat This! – Shai recklessly throws her Florang at her enemies. This skill has the longest range of all the Florang skills.

- Over Here! – Shai creates a shielded area that protects her allies.
- Play Dead – Shai falls to the floor, tricking enemies into believing that she is no longer a threat. Monsters can see through this ruse, but players on the other hand…
Mystic Skills

Dark Rift
- After completing ‘Journey to Mediah’ quests, it will allow your character and all subsequent characters to see Dark Rifts on the map, which have a chance of appearing each day.

- Defeating bosses spawned from Dark Rifts provide brave Adventurers with a variety of rewards and loot!
