Looking for the best Lost Ark Destroyer builds? Here are all the skills you need to dominate PvE and PvP battles as a powerful, hammer-wielding warrior.
While some warriors execute their foes with a two-handed greatsword, others prefer the devastating blows of a giant hammer, and luckily the Destroyer is equipped with just that.

Gunslinger, Berserker, Paladin or Destroyer
Each of the advanced warrior classes has their specific role, with the Berserker dealing massive amounts of damage, the Paladin acting as a healer, and the Gunlancer being the primary tank dishing out attacks.
When it comes to the Destroyer, the class acts as a hybrid tank and damage dealer, giving you the opportunity to adopt a brutal playstyle.
Although your movement will be relatively slow as you move across the battlefield, the hammer-wielding warrior is capable of pulling and pushing enemies with gravity-bending abilities.
Not only that, the Destroyer acts as the perfect disruptor with tons of attacks that deal stagger damage. So if you want a mix of survivability, devastating damage, and gravity-based abilities, there’s no better class for you than the Destroyer.
The destroyer is capable of dealing massive amounts of squadron damage.
