The new Lost Ark ‘Destined For Destruction’ update patch notes are here with everything you need for the next chapter of the MMO. The debut of Legion Raids and the Destroyer class headline a massive content drop, with plenty of quality of life changes, to boot.

Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG’s Western launch of Lost Ark has been nothing short of a smashing success, and the devs are ready to bring new ways to sink more hours into Arkesia.

Players should be prepared for a short period of downtime when the patch goes live on May 19. After that, everything from a new Guardian Raid and fun, new activities will be on the table for players to explore.

Lost Ark Destined For Destruction release date

The new Lost Ark update will release on May 19 at 12 AM PT / 3 AM EST / 7 AM UTC with an expected downtime to run for four hours.

Smilegate expects to have the servers back up around May 19 at 4 AM / 7 AM / 10 UTC when players will be able to log in to the Destined For Destruction update.

Lost Ark Destroyer: New Advanced Class

Lost Ark players will be able to alter the state of physics with sheer strength with the MMO’s latest class addition: The Destroyer.

You’ll be able to see the change when choosing which Warrior Advanced class to choose from alongside Berserkers, Paladins, and Gunlancer.

Legion Raid: Valtan

Lost Ark’s first Legion Raid in the West will have eight players facing Valtan for the chance to collect materials for crafting Legendary gear.

The devs recommend people get their Heroes to level 1415 to before attempting Normal difficulty and 1445 for Hard mode. Be sure to put the extra grind in before having a go, since Legion Raids carry a week-long lockout per attempt.

Lost Ark Destined for Destruction update May 19 patch notes

VALTAN LEGION RAID

Valtan will introduce the first Legion Raid into the western version of . 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. As Legion Raids are challenging and take time, there are gates (or checkpoints) that will save players’ progress as they advance through the Raid.

Valtan is an eight-player Legion raid, has 2 gates, and introduces a swathe of new mechanics. Players will need to be item level 1415 to attempt normal difficulty, and 1445 for hard. Learn more about how to enter the Valtan Legion Raid, new mechanics like Sidereal skills, and information on rewards in the Valtan Lost Ark Academy.

DESTROYER ADVANCED CLASS

Armed with a variety of skills centered around charging into the heart of the fray, their hammer attacks are so catastrophically crushing that Destroyers can bend gravity to their will— slowing, launching, pushing and pulling enemies— whatever it takes to utterly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, destroy them. The Destroyer will join the Berserker, Paladin, and Gunlancer as the fourth Warrior Advanced Class. Learn more about the Destroyer’s unique abilities, skills, and playstyle in the Destroyer Lost Ark Academy.

NEW ACTIVITIES

DESKALUDA GUARDIAN RAID

A new Guardian 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.

CHALLENGE GUARDIANS

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, not only are these foes more difficult, Challenge Guardian Raids will apply ‘Scale of Harmony’ so that your characters’ item level will be adjusted to match that of their enemy. However, with increased challenge comes increased loot! Rewards for each Challenge Guardian can be obtained once per roster, per week, and offer more diverse rewards than normal Guardian Raids.

GUILD ACTIVITIES

While being in a guild has been a helpful source of finding raid groups and providing benefits like the guild shop, new PvE and PvP guild activities arrive in this update. Issue challenges across Arkesia to control guild bases to prove your guild is the best around.

• Island Siege – A PvP guild activity that allows you to battle other guilds in PvP combat. Your ranking is determined by how many points you earn from capturing objectives and defeating enemy players. Island Siege also includes fun activities, like Naruni Island Racing, Snowpang Island Snow Fight and a PvE competition on Altesien island. Earn rewards and perks like gems, accessories, ability stones and more.

• Raid Match – Enter a base with your guild and challenge the powerful Sylmael Devourer. Once summoned, you’ll have limited-time to cooperate with your guild and quickly destroy the Sylmael Devourer. The faster you kill, the more you move up in the guild rankings.

If you’re not in a guild yet, time to start searching! You can use the [Alt-U] hotkey or find the guild menu on the list of menus by pressing escape. Once there, if you’re not in a guild, you can browse through and apply! Many awesome content creators also have series of guilds for their communities, so make sure to see if there are guilds for any communities or friend groups you might already be a part of.

WILD WINGS ISLAND

Arkesia is a vast land, filled with a myriad of menacing and sometimes, well, less-menacing threats. Seeking revenge for eating their friends and family, Crispy Golden Chickings are planning to raid the island. Players turn into a chicken or beer to battle the Chicking boss to earn event coins. The quicker you defeat waves of enemies, the quicker more Chickings appear and the more coins you can earn!

Wild Wings Island is a new event island (appearing west of Tortoyk, with an event every hour) where you can participate in co-op quests or join solo to help suppress this unique uprising. In return, you’ll be rewarded with Rapport Chests, Tailoring & Metallurgy Books, Honing Materials, Pheons, Card Packs, Silver, and more!
