by The Destroyer or Destroyer is a Warrior with a Tank role in Lost Ark , despite having a large amount of vitality and creating shields, he also has a really fearsome attack power.
One of its weak points is that it is quite slow both in movement and attack speed and the vast majority of its abilities require charges that will take time (obviously it had to have some drawback, but it is still a really good class).
Another very good point is that the rotations of his abilities are very simple and it will not take you long to get used to playing with him. In addition, it offers many different Engraving options unlike other characters in which there is not much to choose from as is the case with the Gujista .
BEST DESTROYER BUILD: HAMMER OF FURY (PVE)
In this build we will choose the Hammer of Fury Engraving instead of the Gravity Training Engraving, this engraving will give us very juicy bonuses to critical damage and chance.
The Destroyer has two types of skills: Focus Skills that are blue in color and Gravity Force Skills that are purple in color. Well, when using Concentration Skills we will obtain Gravity Nuclei (we can have a maximum of 3) and when using a Gravity Force Skill it will consume the nuclei that we have obtained and will benefit from the increases in probability and critical damage thanks to this engraving.
So our rotations will always start by using the Concentration Skills until we get 3 cores and then execute one of the Force of Gravity Skills and so on.
IDENTITY ABILITY – HYPERGRAVITY
By pressing the Z button with the Identity Meter filled we can enter Hypergravity mode; When entering this mode, the movement and attack speed of nearby enemies is reduced, we will obtain shields and we will have immunity against pushes and disadvantages.
During this mode the vast majority of skills will not be able to be used, but basic attacks with the hammer will gain a lot of damage.
BEST ENGRAVINGS
Apart from the Hammer of Fury Engraving, at its maximum level it will increase the critical damage by 45% and the frequency by 15% of a Force of Gravity skill as long as we have the three cores (and the engraving at level 3) , we will see engravings with which we will complete the build of our Destroyer.
One of the essential Engravings is Supercharge , since practically all our Force of Gravity skills need to be charged, we will need this engraving to increase their charging speed and we will also obtain a good bonus to the damage of these skills.
The damage we generate is very much based on the Force of Gravity skills and whenever we execute them we will be surrounded by a shield, so Barricade will be great for increasing the damage of these skills and does not have any penalty.
- Hammer of Fury :
- Level 1: When using the Gravity Force skill, Critical Rate +3% and Critical Damage +5%, depending on the number of cores used.
- Level 2: When using the Gravity Force skill, Critical Rate +4% and Critical Damage +10%, depending on the number of cores used.
- Level 3: When using the Gravity Force skill, Critical Rate +5% and Critical Damage +15%, depending on the number of cores used.
- Slashing Blunt Weapon :
- Level 1: +10% Critical Damage but chance to deal -20% damage.
- Level 2: +25% Critical Damage but chance to deal -20% damage.
- Level 3: +50% Critical Damage but chance to deal -20% damage.
- Barricade :
- Level 1: +3% damage if protected by a shield.
- Level 2: +8%.
- Level 3: +16%.
- Supercharge :
- Level 1: +8% charge speed on charge abilities and +4% damage.
- Level 2: +20% speed and +10% damage.
- Level 3: +40% speed and +20% damage.
- Brawler Master :
- Level 1: +5% Headshot Damage
- Level 2: +12% damage.
- Level 3: +25% damage.
- Cursed Doll :
- Level 1: +3% Attack Power but -25% Healing.
- Level 2: +8% Attack Power but -25% Healing.
- Level 3: +16% attack power but -25% healing.
- Grudge :
- Level 1: +4% damage to bosses but +20% damage taken from them.
- Level 2: +10% damage to bosses but +20% damage taken from them.
- Level 3: +20% damage to bosses but +20% damage taken from them.
Blunt Slashing Weapon will boost our critical damage brutally, but it should only be equipped if we have a really high critical chance ratio.
The vast majority of the Destroyer’s abilities are Frontal Attacks, so another Engraving we highly recommend is Master Brawler which will increase the damage of those attacks by up to 25%.
Grudge and Cursed Doll are the wild card of almost all characters but they have pretty bad penalties, but in the case of the Destroyer the Grudge penalty is mitigated very well with the shields it generates when using its abilities, so it is very recommendable.
BEST DESTROYER SKILLS
These are the skills and runes that we recommend to build your Destroyer:
- Heavy Crush : This is his fastest ability and with the shortest cooldown time, we will use it primarily to obtain a Gravity Core and complement it with Armored and Jump Shatter to get the maximum number of cores.
- Quick Hit.
- Rune: Quick Reload
- Dreadnought : Slams the ground twice, generating a shockwave that deals AoE damage; When using this skill against an enemy, we will gain 2 Gravity Cores.
- Tenacity.
- Tanned Body.
- Violent Hammer.
- Rune: Protection.
- Jumping Smash : Thanks to the adjustments in this skill we will have excellent mobility when using it and it is great for counteracting the Destroyer’s slowness a bit; Hitting an enemy with Jump Shatter will grant you 2 Gravity Cores.
- Top Change.
- Armor Destruction.
- destruction.
- Rune: Fury.
- Endurance Pain (Endure Pain) : We will generate a roar that will do damage in the area and thanks to Taunt we will provoke nearby enemies, we will also reduce the damage received by 90% for 5 seconds and when hitting any enemies with this scream we will immediately obtain the 3 Gravity Cores.
- Wide Hit.
- Make fun.
- Hidden pain.
- Rune: Talisman.
- Full Swing Hammer : After charging the two rods, it generates several hammer spins, sweeping towards enemies.

- Absolute Force.
- Famished Force.
- Rune: Overwhelming.
- Awakening Ability – Big Bang : We will keep this Awakening Ability until its bar reaches the limit to produce a burst of energy that will do devastating damage; while charging you can move your character without problems, plus 50% damage reduction and you will also have immunity to knockbacks and debuffs.
GEMS
These are the Cooldown Reduction and Damage Increase Gems that we recommend focusing on.
Cooldown Gems :
- Pain Endurance.
- Battleship.
- Jump Shatter.
- Perfect Hit.
- Earth Eater.
- Full Hammer.
- Seismic Hammer.
Damage Increase Gems :
- Earth Eater.
- Full Hammer.
- Perfect Hit.
- Seismic Hammer.
BEST ATTRIBUTES
In this build we will focus specifically on raising this attribute:
- Critical : With this build for our Destroyer we are going to focus mainly on raising the Critical to do as much damage as possible with our hits, in this way, although the Destroyer lacks speed when using its abilities, we can almost always deal a critical hit to the enemy.
As a second attribute in the necklace we will look for one of the following:
- Specialization : This attribute will be very interesting for us, since by raising it we will increase the damage we will do with the Force of Gravity skills and it is not interesting enough to enhance them due to the great damage they generate by having the three Gravity Cores, in addition the Specialization also increases Awakening damage.
- Speed : It will make our character a little faster when it comes to moving and executing his skills, as well as reducing the waiting time of said skills (this is recommended in case your rotations are not effective due to the waiting time of skills, but can also be remedied with high level Gems ).
BEST CARDS
As with the vast majority of characters focused on dealing massive amounts of damage, we’ll be choosing the Howling Cliff set as our first choice.
His most optimal option would be Light of Salvation, but it will take a lot of time and luck to get that many legendary cards to be able to have this set at least at Awakening 18 for him to rent.
- Howling Cliff :
- Set 2: 8% Darkness damage reduction.
- Set 4: 8% Darkness damage reduction.
- Set 6: 9% Darkness damage reduction.
- Awakening 12: +7% to Critical Chance.
- Salvation Light :
