Click to enlargeThe Lost Ark August 2023 update is the final part of the summer content roadmap, introducing players to the Aeromancer class, Akkan Legion raid, and more.
Aeromancer class
The Aeromancer is the second Specialist advanced class to be introduced to the game. They can harness mystical illusions to manipulate weather or vanquish enemies with the flourish of their umbrella.
The Aeromancer's special metre is called Sun Shower, which is filled from hitting enemies with your skills. Once the metre is full, the Sun Shower can be used to gain offensive and defensive benefits, giving your basic attacks splash damage, and you and your party damage reduction.
They'll release sometime in August, along with a power pass and progression events, to make levelling easier.
Akkan Legion raid
You may have defeated Akknan once, but he's not gone. As part of the Lost Ark August 2023 update, you can take part in the Akkan Legion raid.
This is a new 8-player raid taking place in Arthetine, which will release with a normal and hard version, requiring item level 1580 and 1600 respectively.
Sonavel Guardian raid
The Sonavel Guardian raid is also a new activity for players to take part in, requiring item level 1580 to participate.
