Just another dream class suggestion
Style:
It’s all the popular things in pop culture recently related to a Japanese sword character that would draw so many players. It’s got the anime influence from Demon Slayer (super popular), the demon hunter vibe from Nioh 2 and the badassery of Baiken from Guilty Gear’s personality and chain/sword combat. The outfit potential is insanely beautiful. Nice bounty hunter / monster slayer “tough girl” vibe, cool masks and horn accessories ornaments.
Pre awakening / Succession: Katana and blunt chain weapon
Most the combat damage from katana moves and hunting items, the chain used more as a tool for grabs and AOE knockdowns/stuns, binds, disarms and usable as grappling hook including vertical mobility if there is a surface to grab on to. Sword has a lot of deflection moves, Jedi style. One bomb/grenade move for a fun ranged AOE weapon and bounty hunter vibe.
Awakening: Heavensword (7 Branch Sword)
Various elements / Japanese style spirit animal summons. Heavy on AOE and Pet attacks.
Release Date: Some time after Haso continent release and Black Space Engine second Black Desert Remaster.
* Everytime I play Lahn or Maewha I wish it was this, just throwing ideas out there since a lot of my other dream classes have been made, figured BDO devs are on my wave length of coolness.
everything cool but pls be male ;)
I've given up on ever seeing Haso, the home of numerous classes.

Its just around the corner!

I just wish they'd go back to the whole releasing similar classes as male and female like witch/wizard mae/musa and striker/mystic. Just different enough to provide each with their own style but still close enough to be able to cater to people who want either gender.
The problem with this is that it's very similar to Musa and also Ninja.
If anything I think rather than 6 Katanas for the Ninja they should have gave him Chains or Sais. That way they could still make a "Samurai" Class separate from the Ninja and Musa.
Then your idea could fit more. I personally think a better option would be Katana Main and Awaken Bow or Dual Katana/Katana + Wakizashi Main and Musket.
Moveset would be similar to current Ninja Awaken but with less teleporting. More of a "dance" like feel. Could also make it so that main weapon is a Katana but can switch stance to drawing the wakizashi for certain moves, quick stab or a follow-up attack to certain skills. Still treading close to musa tho.
Most of the "eastern themed" warriors could be summed up by Ninja and Musa. Weapon Choices are.... limited... Less you go crazy with Kukris, Numchucks, Sais, etc.

"around the corner" in free translation it means winter 2025 ;D /....maybe

I love your ideas of dual wield and musket/bow awakening better than the spirit stuff I came up with. Thinking about it more id like her to be more grounded and less magical for awakening. Fit well releasing around assassins creed RED and Rise of Ronin.
Also her main/succ shouldn’t just be a katana, it should be a long katana or “Dai Katana”. Like the generals of Sekiro and Afro Samurai, elden ring, more afro, less heavy but long. That would make her so bad-ass paired with the cosmetic vibe of ornate outfit ideas above. I do see the treading close to the other sword classes, obviously visual design wise she covers a whole different desire, choosing the right and unique mechanics would clear this up, and give us an official japanese female katana user finally.
