As a part of a wider interview, we asked Sabo for many contexts around the development of Lost Ark's Slayer class.

"When courses are added to Lost Ark, the aim is to create something which feels unique while at the same time fitting in well using the current roster of classes and also the content hanging around," she explained.

"Amazon Games and Smilegate RPG want players to possess options to suit every type of playstyle whether or not they want to experience a support role, a high-damage dealing character, or something like that totally unique that rewards players for learning the deep mechanics behind its expertise.

"Of course, player feedback on which they'd want to see paired with data on which content players are interacting inside the game plays a component as well."

The Slayer is really a female version from the Berserker class and wields a truly huge greatsword. Landing attacks fill a Fury Meter, which allows for that Berserker mode. It's like the Berserker, however, the Slayer is much more mobile.

"Everything about Slayer encourages players to jump into the fray of battle as she gets stronger the greater damage she does," Sabo explains.

"During Berserker Mode, the Slayer's damage and movement speed increase even more, and she or he can use a distinctive Specialty skill called Bloodlust, which annihilates her enemies with powerful slashes and stabs from her massive greatsword.

"With Slayer, players ought to be aggressive and leap into battle whenever they can, because this class is made for dealing damage and gets much more deadly with each enemy she decreases," Sabo says, suggesting the Slayer is fantastic for clearing mobs and extra threats to charge up in hectic clashes before unleashing big damage on the boss.
