Lost Ark is getting ready for its next update, with the Slayer, new progression events, the new Ebony Cube, and much more arriving on May 10th.
The Slayer is the subject of a new Lost Ark Academy devblog, introducing the kit and what makes this newest advanced class so special. In the most recent letter to the community from Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG, they mentioned that the Slayer would be arriving next, instead of following the order of the classes in the Korean release, due to community demand.
The Slayer–thefifth advanced class for the Warrior–is called “a female remix of the Berserker class”, so if you’re familiar with that class then you’ll have an overall idea. Yet, this is a remix for reasons. Armed with her greatsword and the ability to trigger Burst Mode when she fills her Fury meter, this melee warrior does have her own distinguishing features. One of them is the Slayer-specific Specialty skill, Bloodlust.
The Slayer will slash and swing that sword to damage enemies, stomp the ground for an AOE attack that includes Earth damage and an earthquake status, unleash piercing attacks, charging blows, and even throw her sword down and sometimes even spin it and slash anything in the way. Then when you fill her Fury meter, you can trigger Burst Mode to increase her damage and movement speed and use Bloodlust, which adds the ability to slash at enemies in front of you and then knock them back with a damaging stab.
Her two Engravings are Punisher and Predator. Punisher ups damage in Burst Mode even higher and prevents Exhaustion when Burst ends, but slows Fury gain and Burst duration. Predator boosts Fury Meter, but adds Fatigue and prevents Bloodlust.
Also in the update will be a new Punika Powerpass
