Learn effective strategies for Black Desert Online scenarios, from quick wins to total destruction. Master unit management and HQ assaults with this expert guide.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the scenarios in Black Desert Online? Awesome! Don't sweat it if the later ones feel tougher – it's usually just because the enemy throws more units at you. Their AI and the actual units they use don't get smarter, they just get more numerous. Their go-to move is to send a massive wave straight at you, leaving just a small squad to guard their HQ. If you can thin out that initial push, their guards will scatter, and the HQ starts moving around like crazy.

The general game plan here is to either soak up that first big attack to wear them down, or use it as a distraction. While they're focused on your main force, you can send a few sneaky units to try and snag the HQ in one go. We'll cover three main approaches: one for a super-fast win, another for wiping out every single enemy unit, and a third for winning using only the units you start with.

Oh, and a cool little detail – the maps are all pieced together from the same large coastal area. You'll probably start recognizing spots from one scenario to the next, which can be pretty neat!

First Battle

Honestly, this first battle is a breeze. Just let the enemy come to you and make sure to keep your weaker units replenished. You'll see planes show up a turn or two before anything else. With two anti-air guns and a fighter, you should have zero problems taking them down. After that, start slowly creeping your artillery forward to meet any incoming enemies, and use your tanks and Armored Cars (ACs) to clean up anything that gets through.

If you play it safe, you should be able to take on the enemy HQ without losing a single unit. You can totally win this mission with your starting forces and still manage to destroy every enemy unit without breaking a sweat.
