RELATED: Lost Ark is Getting Its Own Battle Pass
Lost Ark’s developers have been closely monitoring player feedback and player progression in order to decide the best time to release increasingly difficult content, and they’ve concluded that enough players are powerful enough to warrant some new additions. Valtan, the first Legion Raid, will be a difficult eight-player raid featuring complex and difficult mechanics. Two checkpoints throughout the raid will save player progression, a sign that players likely won’t be breezing through straight away. The raid also introduces a new rarity of gear, Relic gear, crafted with materials earned from the raid. Deskaluda, another Guardian Raid, will also arrive with the update and successful challengers may earn Relic quality accessories from the boss.
A new advanced class for Warriors is being introduced, known as the Destroyer. Carrying a gigantic hammer, the Destroyer’s crushing attacks are so devastating that they actually bend gravity, pushing and pulling enemies at will and dealing large amounts of stagger damage. New activities for guilds will be made available in the form of Island Siege, a ranked guild vs guild PvP mode, and Raid Match, a speed challenge where the guild must defeat a Sylmael Devourer as quickly as possible to climb the rankings. Also included in the update are numerous quality of life changes such as front/back attack indicators, UI updates, an improved party system, better loot dismantling, and even new hairstyles.
No official release date has been set for the May update, so there’s still some time for players to prepare their characters for the upcoming challenges. In the meantime, there are still plenty of Abyss Dungeons to clear, mounts to unlock, and mokoko seeds to find.
Lost Ark is available on PC.
