'Lost Ark' March Update Scheduled For Next Week, Includes Breaker Advanced Class

by Rainier on March 13, 2024 @ 3:14 p.m. PDT

In Lost Ark players explore the vast and diverse world of Arkesia on their quest to find the fabled Lost Ark and save the realm from a demonic threat.

Lost Ark is a AAA free-to-play, massively multiplayer online action role-playing game that is only currently available in Korea, Japan, and Russia, where it boasts millions of active players.

The game features 15 distinct hero classes that offer deep combat with unique combinations of adaptable skill sets utilizing the Tripod Skill system. Players forge their own legend, whether alone or with allies, as they battle through dangerous dungeons, sail by ship and even create their own island home.

Amazon Games collaborated with Smilegate RPG to provide players in North America and Europe with the best experience possible by localizing and translating the colossal world of Lost Ark into written and spoken dialogue in English, French, German, and Spanish. 

The new Breaker Advanced class will arrive on March 20 as part of Lost Ark’s March update.

The Breaker is a veteran of war with a keen sense of combat after putting himself in life-or-death battle situations on the frontline. Ever since winning a Changhun Tournament, he wanders around the world, dueling with the most powerful beings to fortify his strength and skills. The Smilegate team wanted to create a class for players who enjoy the fun and challenge of controls in combat. Designed with punch attacks and heavy blows inspired by boxing, Breaker also has a special control mechanism added in for extra fun in combat, and a combat style that will be diametrically different based on the type of Class Engraving that players use.

CLASS IDENTITY

STAMINA ENERGY/SHOCK ENERGY/TENACIOUS POWER

Just like the Scrapper martial artist class, Stamina and Shock resource energy fuel one another as you use your skills. When using Stamina skills, your Stamina gauge decreases while the Shock gauge increases - and vice versa. When any skill successfully hits enemy, Tenacious Power is gained. When using your Tenacious Power meter is full, you can activate Brawl King Stance for more speedy combat. Brawl King Stance is enhanced when using the Brawl King Storm engraving and replaced with Asura State when using the Asura's Path engraving.

BRAWL KING STANCE

When Tenacious Power reaches 100%, you can switch into Brawl King Stance by pressing the Z key. When entering Brawl King Stance, Movement Skill cooldown is reset and Atk. Speed +10%. In Brawl King Stance, Basic Attack is enhanced. Upon landing the last basic attack, Stamina Skill and Shock Skill's cooldown -5%. When entering Brawl King Stance, for 10s, outgoing damage from you and your party members +6%. When using Basic Attacks while using Stamina Skill in Brawl King Stance, the final hit of the Basic Attack occurs immediately.

ASURA STATE

When Asura Energy reaches 100%, you can enter 'Asura State' by pressing the Z key. When entering Asura State, Fighting Spirit effect changes into Sura Destruction effect, and for 10s, outgoing damage from you and your party members +6%. In Asura State, basic attacks are enhanced and damage increases based on Crit Rate. When Sura Destruction is activated, Skill Damage including Awakening and Basic Attack skills increases. When Sura Destruction is activated, Movement Skill changes and Move Speed +15% Press X to activate Defensive Speculation. When Defensive Speculation is used, gain Push Immunity for 2s, gain Shield 40% of Max HP, and Incoming Damage -20%. When Defensive Speculation is used, when hit by a boss of a specific rank or higher, Penalty Meter -50%. After using Defensive Speculation, if you are attacked within 2s, the duration of Defensive Speculation increases by 3s 1 time. After Defensive Speculation is used, goes into Fighting Spirit Absorption state for 10s and cannot use Defensive Speculation.

Amazon called upon Breaker expert and Lost Ark Creator Program member, Saintone, to give a list of helpful tips and tricks for players eager to try out the new class, delving deeper into the powerful Brawler King Stance, the mystical Asura State and much more. This class breakdown is the perfect resource for any guides you might have planned for the Breaker. Please let us know if you need anything else for your coverage!

Lost Ark is available for PC (Steam).
