Lost Ark Destroyer Information
- The Destroyer is an evolution of the Warrior Class.
- Destroyers' attack damage scales with the Strength Stat.
- The Destroyer playstyle hinges on lower sustained DPS with very high burst damage. Like most Warrior classes, they are slow but very sturdy and can easily tank incoming damage.
- The Destroyer's skillset comprise of [Concentration Skills] which generate Gravity Cores on successful hits. These cores are then spent by using [Gravity Release Skills] to deal increased damage depending on the amount of cores consumed.
- Destroyers suffer from long cast animations on their [Gravity Release Skills] but make up for it with heavy defensive proeperties and passive abilities.
- The Destroyer's Identity Skill is the Hypergravity Mode. After charging the Gravity Meter through combat, Hypergravity Mode can be activated which slows the movement and attack speeds of enemies within range, grants the Destroyer shields and immunity to many debuffs and negative effects. The Destroyer loses most of their skills while Hypergravity Mode is active. In exchange, their auto attack becomes greatly enhanced and they gain use of a new Vortex Gravity ability.
- The Endure Pain skill is a very valuable part of their moveset as it deals heavy damage, grants Push immunity, decreases incoming damage and generates 3 Gravity Cores on hit. Furthermore, with proper Tripod setup, it becomes one of the very few skills that can taunt enemies, making the Destroyer a proper viable tanking class.
- The Destroyer is an easy class for players who can get around their sluggish, defensive playstyle which rewards skillful use of their mechanics with truly massive damage potential.
