Lost Ark’s May Update is a go called Destined for Destruction and it’s packed with new content

After Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG looked at player progress data Lost Ark“Enough of our playerbase has reached the item level required to participate” or should reach it in time so the update is in full swing, Destined for destruction. The advanced Destroyer class is included, as well as a brand new Guardian Raid, the first Legion Raid, new quests and world activities, new rare gear and much more.

The Destroyer comes with his huge hammer to crush and – destroy – enemies. Destroyers can drag or fire enemies and stagger with damage. This is the fourth advanced class for the warrior, offering additional playstyle options if you’re most into crushing a few enemies.

The very first Legion Raid will feature Valtan and appear in both normal and hard modes. This new raid type also introduces relic rarity gear, which you can craft from materials you earn in the raid. The Valtan Legion Raid is for eight players and will introduce new mechanics, requires a heavy reliance on teamwork and strategy to pull through and will take some time to complete. There are two gates in the raid, and passing each will save your progress so you can try again from the checkpoint if it doesn’t work the first time. Or the second. Entry requirements are 1415 for Normal and 1445 for Hard.

Also coming is a new Warden raid, this time with Deskaluda, for item level 1415. You can try it alone, with a group, or try matchmaking for a full 4 player event. This new Guardian Raid also drops materials that you can use to craft rare relic gear.

Each week there will also be a Guardian Challenge Raid featuring rotating Guardians, each with their own item level requirement. These special raids will use a “scale of balance” to level you up to an appropriate item level.

South Vern gets new quest content, a new field boss, Chaos Gate and much more. There’s also Wild Wings Island, where you can transform into a chicken and take on the giant chicking boss if you’re not in the mood for a Guardian Raid. This is the new co-op content page.
