With a new month comes new content for Lost Ark players. Developers Smilegate and publisher Amazon Games have been pushing updates for their game since it was released with the last bit of news shared at the beginning of April. In that update, they mentioned that they will be introducing another new warrior class called Destroyer, trial guardian raids, and a few more general updates. With May here, it’s time to look a little closer at what’s new.

First, let’s focus on the new class for players; the hammer-wielding Destroyer. Armed with a variety of skills centered around charging into battle, their hammer attacks are dangerously crushing and so catastrophic that Destroyers can bend gravity to their will! They will do whatever it takes to utterly annihilate their enemies.

Next, we have a few new raids to cover:

• The New Challenge Guardian Raids which add a new weekly activity for players. Each week, players can attempt to defeat three Challenge Guardians. Every Guardian has their own required item level to enter, and each week one Guardian will rotate out, replaced by a different foe. Differing from a normal Guardian Raid, Challenge Guardian Raids will apply ‘Scale of Balance’ so that your characters’ item level will be adjusted appropriately to that of their enemy.

• The Valtan Legion Raid, which can be done on Normal and Hard difficulties, will introduce the first Legion Raid into the western version of Lost Ark. Legion Raids are difficult team-based activities that require teamwork to understand and execute the strategy necessary to counter each Legion Commander's unique characteristics, abilities, and mechanics.

• The Deskaluda Guardian Raid - a new Guardian that will arise and must be vanquished before they usher in an age of darkness. Deskaluda will require an item level of 1415 to attempt. As with the other Guardian Raids, you can attempt to vanquish Deskaluda alone, with a party, or matchmake with up to three other heroes.

You can check out all the details about what is coming to Lost Ark in May at the developer’s update blog. These developers don’t seem to be showing any sign of slowing down the flow of content for the game any time soon, so as long as there is a player base, it seems there will be new content. Are you excited for what they are bringing to the game this month?
