When you unlock this weapon and the capability to play the “awakened” version of your class, you’ll be able to swap between the awakened skills and your pre-awakening weapon and skills using the weapon swap key (which is C on PC), effectively giving you access to two weapons and two sets of skills.
Again, for my Hashashin, this new weapon is a dual sided glaive, and this weapon as I said comes with its own set of skills.
Once you hit level 56, you will receive a quest from the black spirit to unlock your awakening weapon and skills. These skills also are affiliated to a weapon that you use for example, my Hashashin my pre-awakening skills are used with my Shamshir main weapon and my Haladie sub weapon. As you level up in BDO, you use your class’s pre-awakening skills or “main skills”. Simply put, awakening and succession are two different ways to play the same class.
The first thing that I want to cover is the difference between awakening and succession. In today’s beginner guide, we are going to be talking about skills in Black Desert Online, from skill addons, skill points, rabam skills, black spirit rage and awakening versus succession. Succession, Skill points, Skill Addons & more!
