This update will introduce content end gameincluding two legion raids and a new character class, here is what awaits players:
- LEGION RAID: VALTAN (NORMAL AND HARD MODES)
This is the first legion raid in the Western version of Lost Ark. Legion Raids are arduous, team-based activities that require working together to determine and implement the strategy that will counter each Legion Commander’s unique traits, abilities, and mechanics. Because legion raids are grueling and time-consuming, they contain portals (or checkpoints) that will record your progress. Valtan is an eight-person, two-portal legion raid that introduces a whole range of new mechanics. Players will need to have reached item level 1415 to try their luck on ‘normal’ difficulty, and 1445 for ‘hard’. The Legion Raid: Valtan will also introduce a new “relic” gear rarity. Relic rarity gear can be crafted from materials earned in the raid. They grant more armor and weapon bonuses, as well as bigger stat bonuses and more engraving nodes on accessories.
- GUARDIAN RAID: DESKALUDA
Guardians are powerful entities capable of tipping the scales in favor of good or evil. A new guardian will appear and must be defeated before it triggers a new era of darkness. To try your luck, you will need to have reached item level 1415. As with other Guardian raids, you can attempt to defeat Deskaluda solo or in a team, or with up to three other heroes through player encounters. . Just like in Legion Raid: Valtan, you will be able to earn Relic-quality accessories if you defeat Deskaluda.
- ADVANCED DESTROYER CLASS
We’ve already talked about the cataclysmic impact warriors have on the battlefield, but no class epitomizes it quite like the destroyer and his hammer. Armed with a range of abilities allowing him to smash through the pile, his hammer attacks are catastrophic to the point of having an influence on gravity: the destroyer can slow, throw, push and pull enemies, everything he can. necessary to destroy them completely. Thanks to the huge imbalance damage it inflicts, the Destroyer will be very useful for teams trying to defeat powerful opponents. The destroyer joins the berserker, paladin, and gunslinger, becoming the warrior’s fourth advanced class.

GUARDIAN RAIDS (CHALLENGE)
Guardian Raids (Challenge) will be a new weekly activity for players looking for a new challenge. Each week, you can attempt to defeat three Challenge difficulty Guardians. To face each of them, you will need a different item level. Each week, a guardian will be replaced by a new enemy to face. Unlike regular Guardian Raids, Balance Balance will be applied to Guardian Raids (Challenge) to match your character’s item level to that of your enemy. Also, you cannot use the Battle Workshop in the Raid Zone. As the challenge is bigger, the rewards are more interesting. The rewards granted for each defeated Guardian can be claimed once per Expedition per week, and are more diverse than those from regular Guardian Raids.
