The coveted first clear for Lost Ark's Kazeros Raid has been claimed. It took nine days—roughly 205 hours—since the August 20 update.

The raid team LoaHunters secured the inaugural clear without any Sidereal Weapons—a first for a “regular-gear” squad. Their strongest conventional weapons top out at +25, and their average combat power sits noticeably below that of the top-end teams.

LoaHunters features 소티메리 (문설)—well known for a Thaemine Second clear—and 청룡진, who holds records for a First clear on Inferno and a Thaemine Third clear. The roster is: Gunlancer (낀현동), Glaivier (발구미), Gunslinger (문설), Machinist (cadlez), Glaivier (청룡진), Deathblade (힘꽁), Bard (생각해볼께), and Bard (윤노랑).

On August 20, the team first nailed the Act 4 (Hard) inaugural clear in 2 hours 29 minutes, and has now followed it up by entering Kazeros: The First as well. Kazeros is a two-gate boss; Gate 2 is structured into three phases, much like Thaemine. After defeating Gate 2’s Phase 1 Kazeros—who has about 2 trillion HP—players face 1.7 trillion HP in Phase 2, and the final phase proceeds in a “???” state, with the HP bar hidden, similar to Thaemine. Progress reports came quickly up through Gate 2 Phase 3, but then there was a lull. However, at approximately 12:01 on the 29th, the “regular-gear” LoaHunters became the first to break through.

While The First honors go to LoaHunters, the race isn’t over. The First remains open until the Top 10 is finalized. Squads placing 2nd and 3rd will receive the 2nd and 3rd titles, respectively, and those finishing 4th through 10th will earn the Kazeros TOP 10 title. All eyes are now on which raid teams will round out the Top 10.
