As always, players will find a host of new content to work through, the Punika Powerpass event, and much more. The arrival of the Slayer, the fifth Advanced Class for Warriors, anchors the update.
May Update Highlights

Successful attacks with the Slayer fills the Fury Specialty Meter, which, when full, can trigger Burst Mode. During Burst Mode, several stats are significantly enhanced and players will have access to a Specialty skill which unleashes powerful slashes and stabs.
- Punika Powerpass – Similar to the North Vern Powerpasses from the launch version of Lost Ark, this pass allows players to bring an alternate character into the game once completed the storyline through that continent. Additionally, players will receive Item Level 1340 gear.
- Hyper Express Event II – Players will be able to designate one character between item Level 1340 and 1460 on their roster to participate in this event where they’ll earn honing materials to quickly level up to Item Level 1460 and beyond.
- Engraving Support System – Lets players choose 4 engravings to be in effect at level 3 during the event.
