She has been a challenge to level compared to my archer that hits in a wide AOE with everything insta dead. This makes her perfect for tanky, high HP mobs all packed together. Her attacks are focused into a narrow column or small area. It’s also impossible to defend any grinding spot. I found Shai a bit frustrating because I can’t help but compare her lack of AOE to my current favorite class, the Archer. She is also excellent in boss fights and against tanky mobs with large HP. Many people play her to progress in Life Skills and she does have many benefits in that regard. She has amazing self sustain in PVE and high HP. Her greatest strength is found in her healing ability and buffs. I love her animations as she twirls her big boomerang in crazy circles. She’s different than anything Black Desert has ever offered before. After reading this guide, you should have a better understanding of the Shai and if you would like to learn more. This BDO Shai Guide is a simple overview to highlight strengths and weaknesses.
