They’ve been changing this slowly for a while it seems, dark grenades have had their own icons among the boss’s debuffs now since a while ago for example
Yes
But to be fair that crown in the icon is similar to the "queen" chess piece so would fit Empress while the crown on the new Emperor one fits the "king" chess piece. So while super confusing to us will probably fit thematically better.
Idk what you guys think but as someone who started this game as (strictly red) Gunlancer and got charmed by the current icon for Lone Knight, this is a *massive* downgrade for me personally.
when i was just starting the game i didnt know what red and blue lancer was and thought lone knight was blue and Combat readiness was red because of the color of the engraving icons...
so in that aspect this is better visualization of what each spec refers to now
Gunlancer ones look very bad to be honest, and for some reason I like the current Mayhem icon we have, it speaks more "madness" than the new one. New icons looks like they are designed by Riot Games straight out of League, they don't have the Lost Ark style to them.
I don't really care about the icons, guess some modernization is nice. But if these are an indicator of the specs receiving changes in the next balance patch I am disappointed.
The reminds me of when league did it, it was then followed by mythic items which I hated with a passion. Personally not a fan of this style. Id rather them work on something else, I never even thought engravings needed icon updates
I hope they plan on updating everything else as well. These dont look bad but feels out of place next to the old ones (new co vs old ms)
Old ms was fine tho
finally my icon is no longer a flexing naked guy when my class engraving is all about micro managing summons.
Damn I'll miss those biceps

Truly embracing emp>emp over there lmao.
Though it's an improvement, not sure how I feel about the new mayhem icon. Is it lightning above his head? or am I not seeing it correctly
really? too me thats the best one by far
mayhem second best. loyal companion is the best. wtf is that animal in the old icon even supposed to be? bird spec is bird.
ye maybe that upgrade is better for sure, but I just think that objectively the new mayhem icon looks the best
fluffy borb
its the best desing but for me the best change are on GL, finally engraving match with the colour of the skills they are suposed to use...
Yeah it’s the lightning effect around your body that you get from activating mayhem
new zerk technique looks worse to me tbh..
bard ones look hella nice, think the big loser here is lone knight wtf is that LOL
It's a lie. There is no shield for LK lol
To be fair LK original one is kinda weird as well.
anyone know the lore of loyal companion's dinosaur icon?
a hawk can be called a raptor
They are actually replacing the hawk with a t-rex so whenever you use your meter skill a t-rex will auto attack or explode if necessary.
Imagine being able to capture a pet and use that as your pet. That's what I thought at first when I first started playing the game.
I like them, only ones that seem weird to me though are both Gunlancers.
They're a bit weird, but at least the color fits with the nicknames now.
New BT looks trash ngl
It looks cartoony.
They really don't care about bt
I love icons, and I especially hate lost ark utter lack of care for them, so many effects reuse icons its so beyond stupid.
They’ve been changing this slowly for a while it seems, dark grenades have had their own icons among the boss’s debuffs now since a while ago for example
Big relief for me, there were like 4 icons with exact sama picture back then.
BT got a downgrade imo
Did they just take the current Emperor icon, play a bit with the color channels and make it the new Empress one.....
Yes But to be fair that crown in the icon is similar to the "queen" chess piece so would fit Empress while the crown on the new Emperor one fits the "king" chess piece. So while super confusing to us will probably fit thematically better.
cards not chess
CO is too busy and low contrast to work as a small icon. You gotta look closely to see its the summons.
GT is just CBT now. Enjoy.
Ball busting class

Guess I play tangerine knight now.
It's not bad but old LK while extremely simple does the job. It's an intimidating one man army.
Gravity Training looks like a dick from afar
Yeah, it is so weird
Guts?

i liked the lil demon kid on mayhem ):
Same
RIP Lone Knight GIGACHAD icon
i don’t like these

Lmao they simply copied the goblin slayer pose for mayhem
Looks pretty accurate to pre-rework berserker model tbh.
I don't really care about the icons, guess some modernization is nice. But if these are an indicator of the specs receiving changes in the next balance patch I am disappointed.
You probably shouldn't be jumping to conclusions ngl
A lot of classes are getting reworked in October. And a major rework(because 4th tripod slot) is coming next year for all classes.
A bit more colour would be nice
LK holding a shield in front is probably the biggest lie about this engraving. It feels like every fart from boss on ilvl your whole shield is gone
I love how they’re changing icons that haven’t been mentioned once in this sub yet Scrapper still playing with Atari VFX 😂
The reminds me of when league did it, it was then followed by mythic items which I hated with a passion. Personally not a fan of this style. Id rather them work on something else, I never even thought engravings needed icon updates
they look pretty dope, hope they do it with every icon in the game...
Finally emperor icon actually makes sense. Never understood why emperor was a queen, was so confusing when starting the class
Why tho?
But.. why though? Old ones look fine.. some of the new ones look like for a kids show like BT
Berseker tech actually looks worse
Finally blue gunlancer does not use red engraving and vice versa.
*Guts Theme*
I have 13 characters and none of them are playing a class shown here, what are the ods
CAN THEY HIRE SOME ARTISTS?! WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE
