Is It Still A "Raid" If It's Played Solo? Either Way, Lost Ark's July Update Will Add The MMOS's First Solo Raids

On July 17, Smilegate and Amazon will drop Lost Ark’s next big update, bringing Solo raids to the MMORPG, according to the latest Eye on Arkesia. When it arrives, players will be able to use Solo mode to take on the Valtan Legion Raid and the Abyssal and Ivory Tower Abyssal Dungeons. These solo instances will include special effects to help classes out since they won’t have other players to rely on.

Of course, rewards for attempting content solo will be rewarded differently than if players go with a group, but players will still be able to obtain progression materials. It’s a nice way to allow players to gear up without having to wait for a group to get it done.

In addition to the Solo raids, the new update will see players revisiting Echidna in her After Story, once they’ve completed her raid that is. It also includes a Tier 3 support boost up to 1580, including price decreases for upgrades.

For the fashion aficionados, the update will also include the 2024 swimwear skins that were released in Korea. Of course, it wouldn’t be summer without a festival, so the Maharaka Festival is on its way. Details on that will be made available in a later video.
