Notes[edit]

  • Young Karka invaded Lion's Arch during the start of phase 1 of the Lost Shores event, and subsequently returned to Lion's Arch for a second confrontation 24 hours later, at the start of phase 2. They were purged from Lion's Arch in this second confrontation.
  • Usually opens with a powerful attack of multiple crippling projectiles. A form of protection (deflection, reflection, dodging) is recommended.
