Energy Overflow – This Engraving is not used very often as Robust Spirit is by far the more reliable Engraving for landing big damage with your World Decimation Awakening skill. Energy Overflow is harder to use. It requires a lot more micromanagement of your ene
The Bard is one of Lost Ark’s dedicated support characters and is usually the top choice for a dedicated support in both PvE and PvP, although the Paladin (and in the future, the Artist) see play as well. This class provides all sorts of buffs to the party, including damage reduction, damage increases, and various other bu
The Striker has a range of skills available. This is just a breakdown of what a simple skill loadout might look like on a high-level Striker character. Pay attention to the Esoteric skills – these are essential, high-powered skills that are boosted by your Elemental ga
The Sharpshooter, like other Gunner classes, likes Crit damage, especially with the build above. At level 3, Keen Blunt Weapon provides a boost of 50% crit damage. That’s massive.
Loyal Companion
When your recovery effect ends, an additional effect is activated which recovers 24% of your max HP.
As you are mostly focusing on the support side of things with bard, The Song of Courage, then you want to go for the Desperate Salvation Engraving. This boosts your healing effect after the initial burst, as well as provides you with some of your own sustainability. Bards are squishy. Staying alive longer in the fighter will benefit you, and therefore benefit your t
The rifle skills are last on the damage priority list as they have no Tripods at all in this build, and should only be used as damage alternatives while you wait for debuffs reset on your pistol skills and for your shotgun abilities to come off cooldown .
The Bard’s Identity Skill is Serenade. You earn Serenade Bars during combat for hitting attack abilities, and each activation of a Serenade consumes one bar. You can stack up to three bars at the same t
The Sharpshooter is a ranged DPS class in Lost Ark – he relies on his bow and a Hawk to deal damage, dealing damage mostly from medium to long-range. A few close-range abilities are thrown in there for good measure.
Want to deal massive damage and carry your team to victory in PvP arenas? Soulfist is one of the best in the Anime Game events for just this type of playstyle, but she’s difficult to master. You will need full commitment to the Soulfist to get the most out of the cl
Cone-shaped explosion, longer cooldown (+4s), and extra 100% damage to Challenge or lower enemies
Awakening Skill – Golden Eye. Both Engravings are viable, but Golden Eye often finds itself in Dungeon-clearing builds thanks to its massive AoE output. It’s faster than Fenrir’s Messenger, the other class Engraving, and doesn’t need to be charged up. Instant hit for lots of damage. Can’t really go wrong with it.
For Awakening, it’s time for Golden Eye again . Lots of AoE damage is good for dealing damage as you move in to deal damage with Blade Storm and the stealth it provides can be good for dodging attacks from the Raid boss. There is some flexibility with this build so play around with what feels good to you.
The Engravings will change depending on whether you’re playing the class in a PvE or PvP role. You will find more detailed breakdowns of the best engravings for the different playstyles on our best Striker build gui
Reliable Engraving that increases attack power by 16% at level 3 and reduces healing from your items by 25% . This is a decent trade-off, especially with the Artillerist who has shield capabilities to reduce incoming damage.

Since you have to build up the Shadowburst meter first, you’ll want to spec heavily into Tripods that increase your Shadowburst meter build-up. Some common skills for this build include Thrust Impact , Howl , and virtually every Intrude Skill. You’ll want to drop at least one of the seven available Intrude Skills for Demonic Slash , preferably two so you can also run Demolition or Sharpened
The other recommended Engravings are as follows. These are really go-to Engravings for most classes in PvE. You can find out alternative Engravings and specific builds in our best Soulfist build gui
This class guide covers a detailed overview of what to expect when you choose the Striker as your main in Lost Ark . Follow-up guides will go into more detail regarding builds and play styles. This is just designed to give you an idea of what the class is all ab
Like our other Dungeon build guides, this is a pretty straightforward, entry-level build for the Deadeye. You don’t have to rely too much on stats, Engravings, or abilities , as long as you have some decent gear and at least a few tiered-up AoE abilities.
This is the simple stuff. You’ve just hit level 50 and you want a build that will help you clear the first dungeons. Don’t worry. You don’t need anything too complex to get through your first runs. This build is designed to make the most of the Sharpshooter’s great damage , a mix of AoE skills , some Elite-focused abilities , and a simple rotation of abilities , and a pretty straightforward choice between the two class Engravings – Loyal Companion or Death Strike .
