Amazon Games has shared a first look at the Valkyrie Class for Lost Ark, with a behind the scenes blog detailing her ahead of the August 20th release.
The blog post is in a Q&A format, so we won’t just drop all of it here, instead you can visit the page to get all the info. Amazon says, however: “The Valkyrie class is easy to pick up, but flexible in how players can showcase their skill. This flexibility extends to its ability to switch between damage dealer and support. From skills and combat animations to skins and class design, Valkyrie faithfully delivers the essence of a holy warrior, making her highly appealing to those who value immersive character visuals.”
Among the info is a detailed look at the Valkyrie’s creation, which you can see part of via the image below.
Comparing to other classes from the game, Amazon explains: “In terms of combat tempo and feel, Valkyrie offers a faster, flashier, and more agile experience than the heavier, grounded playstyle of the Paladin.”
Valkyrie has three categories of skills, as follows:
- Justice Skills focus on minimal use of divine power, instead relying on refined swordsmanship to present a disciplined and knightly image. Motions like striking and holding posture emphasize composure and control.
- Starlight Skills allow Valkyrie to summon a sacred sword in her left hand, wielding it like a dual blade, or infusing her one-handed sword with divine energy for powerful strikes. This category enhances her identity as a valiant and symbolic holy warrior.
- Protection Skills use sacred shields to protect allies or weaken enemies. Some skills include impact animations to strengthen her presence as a defensive class.
Lost Ark is out now on PC.
