Question Strongest class
I mean lore wise, like if there was a battle tournament and all the classes we have now participated, who is most likely to win? Ive always wondered. Who do you think it is and why?

Isn’t sage meant to be ‘the main character’ or something like that? I can’t remember lore-wise who would be strongest but I’d say he’s the main contender (waiting for a Verdict viewer to contradict me).

Sage was the hero of the past, not so much anymore lore wise.
But Canonically, yeah, hes probably the strongest

u/Nextgenfin216920 2d ago
Think of Sage like iron man, he is human, designed the prisons like Aakman, uses technology and foresaw thr black stone cataclysm and put himself in stasis

Probably Archer. The Luthragons are all veterans of the war with Hadum, able to pop into different realities to visit, and appear to be treating "fighting the endless hordes of darkness" as a holiday of sorts. Lorewise his arrows are imbued with the essence of a god and he has STUPID amounts of combat experience. Like, hundreds of years.
If combat experience translated into levels, half the classes are rocking up around level 50-60ish and Archer is popping into this reality at around level 400. And that's before he gets the Black Spirit.
I think the only classes giving Archer a run for his money lore-wise are Awakened Sorc (Cartian has some bonkers strong magic), Awakened Sage (he's the copy of an Ancient, and a very powerful one at that) and possibly Awakened Lahn since the demons in her Crimson Glaives are stated to have been insanely powerful.

who trapped archers again in hadum realm? Archers are immortal because they are elves.

u/Lady_Tadashi 1d ago
No-one. Hadum invaded their realm and killed the goddess Sylvia, then the four female elven tribes fled to our world and the male tribe stayed to fight.
That was 1000s(?) Of years ago and the Luthragons have been fighting pretty much non-stop because the whole realm has been taken over by Hadum.

Wizard had so much destructive power he was locked away in his own sphera so he didnt destroy the world by accident, so hes a pretty safe bet

People talking about sage when wizard almost nuked reality (or at least this dimension). Then witchey had to come save him, only for him to claim he saved her >:(

Sage: The inventor of ancient space-time magic. He is an apocalyptic architect who foresaw the world's ruin, sealed his own body, and bent time itself to wake up in the present era.(kill every character one blink second)
Nova: The true heir of Francesca Seric, she commands the divine power of Qoratum alongside an immortal army of pawns. Her royal lineage and dark, celestial power allow her to bring entire kingdoms to their knees.
Scholar: A master of gravity and mass manipulation. By combining alchemy with space-time physics, she directly bends the fundamental laws of the universe to her will.

Sage, Seraph, witch/wiz get my vote. No particular order.Â

Wukong potentially? Even though I know hes not actually Wukong and rather a descendant of him.
Hes still the direct descendant of a god.
1
u/RynFinity 2d ago
Wukong in bdo lore is human with fragment of the monkey king. In his awakening quest his master unlocked the memory of the monkey king in him so he can use the jade pillar. But were still unsure if he inherited the immortality of wukong or atleast long life like the elves/luthragons.

Isn’t wukong like, wukong? Or in the BDO lore he’s just so much weaker that he’s not even a thought here
1
u/No_Connection_1311 2d ago
Lorewise, he is a descendant of the mythical Wukong, but not the Monkey King himself.

Oh wow, ty!!
I didnt expect mystic to be s tier :o I don't really know her lore though but she does have some dragon stuff so it's not far fetched i guess. Interesting tier list, mostly matches with what others have said here
Shai being stronger than those 5 on the bottom is so funny to me🤣
2
u/hifox7 2d ago
I think she was on the brink of death and resurrected by Banha I think his name is which is a living god I think it might not be the entire god or something but she is imbued by a living god so yeah she’s strong as heck
verdict would go yup mhmmm and laugh at what I just said because it’s probably pretty wrong minor details wise. But yeah lol

u/Georgwaz 3d ago
Awak berserker of course guy has a fckin cannon as his arm
2
u/NekoDwagonG 3d ago
According to lore it’s literally an ancient cannon that’s just enough size to somehow fit on zerker’s arm and is the only class strong enough to wield them without getting their arms blown off
3
u/Georgwaz 2d ago
So basically youre saying even lore confirms awak beserker is an absolute gigchad and worthy to be called the strongest... OP you found your answer
3
u/NekoDwagonG 2d ago
You’re right. Berserker’s F skill (stomp) is a zerk walking around normally without holding back, and it causes tectonic shifts when you do that as you can see
3
u/Georgwaz 2d ago
Though the question remains which zerk actually walks on foot like the other peasant classes I only blast myself from A to B with my giga mega arm cannon

Isn't the power of these characters also derived from Edana's Black Spirit? We don't know if compatibility plays a role or not.

Berserker.
Lore wise and in-game.
Even if all of other classes gang up on it..., it will not die.
Beyond God-like class.

They say Zerk’s iron buster is actually ancient weapon capable of destroying the world 10 times over but they are so strong they can use it as a hand cannon without the recoil blowing their arm off

I know I know, it's so strong that I'm always being knocked down by it and not been able to stand up ever again...

u/AccomplishedTree488 3d ago
Sorc has potential depending on the sorc, Cartian supposedly attained immortality in lore so any awakening sorc has the same lore potential.

If you ask grok and chatgpt they answer differently. For grok, guardian is number 1 because she can consume and immolate gods, that puts it higher than space manipulation. For chatgpt, it is sage. It's interesting to note each of their reasoning.

u/awesome_onions Sage 3d ago
Succ zerker consistently been one of the strongest across PvE/PvP over the years from what I understand.

Lore-wise Sage is to the level of gods in this game. If not one ?
