Lost Ark: Sharpshooter Best Builds

The Wardancer has applicable builds for both PvE and PvP, although she is typically more common as a PvP class. However, PvP is usually determined by a set template, so we've outlined a very simple skill build for the Wardancer below to give you an idea of what your build might end up looking like. We will go into more detail about abilities, leveling order, and runes in our best Wardancer build guides.


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

If you like Monster Hunter or any boss-hunting game modes in MMOs, Guardian Raids are for you. You and up to three other players will hunt down a deadly boss for rewards. They're varied, rewarding, and fairly quick to complete if you have a good team. Let's dive into what Guardian Raids work, how to unlock them, and some of the rewards you can expect to earn.

Lost Ark's Paladin class—otherwise known as the Holy Knight—is one of two support roles in the game, matched only by the Bard. The class is valuable in both PvP and PvE content and is one of the more reliable classes to pick up and play for your first run through the Anime Game news.

Hunts will vary depending on the Guardian you're facing, but most hunts consist of finding the boss and defeating the boss. Before you begin, you'll be given the option to harvest the boss' soul or not. Doing so will give you much more loot, but you can only do this twice per day (ignoring the catch-up mechanic). In-game, your first task is to find the boss. Finding the boss is significantly easier if you bring flares, a battle item that will reveal the location of the boss on your map for a short time. You can craft them at your stronghold.


The Soulfit's identity gauge is called Energy, or Ki if you're using the KR/Russian translations. You fill it up by hitting abilities and then activate three separate stages, buffing attack damage and speed. These stages are known as ' Hype Modes ', although this also goes by different names depending on your server. Energy is expended at an okay pace, but the best Soulfist players rotate their energy consumption by activating their identity gauge. It takes a bit of getting used

To be a good Paladin player, you're going to want a mix of Punish (blue) and Holy (yellow) skills in your rotation. In general, your Punish skills will be used to quickly build up your Piety Meter. Your Holy skills are used to buff your team. Let's go over the most common skills used in each category.

**Updated February 5th, 2022, by Charles Burgar: ** Covering every aspect of the Paladin class in Lost Ark required us to give this article an update. We've added more information about each of the Paladin's Engravings, their Identity skill, best skills and Tripods, and we've added a section discussing the differences between the Paladin and Bard for those stuck between picking either class.


At level 3, Cursed Doll increases all attack power by 16% but reduces incoming healing. This is not that common in high level raids, but it's a good place to start during your first endgame runs.

As for defeating the boss, your group will need to coordinate to counter the Guardian's mechanics and beat the boss. The first tier of Guardians is fairly simple, utilizing high-damage attacks and very simple mechanics to ease you into the game type. Further tiers involve buff and debuff management, one-shot mechanics, and more. Be sure that your team is prepared before diving into the later tiers of Guardian Raids. Once the boss is slain, you'll be able to harvest its soul to claim your loot.

Guardian Raids allow you to harvest a Guardian's soul upon completing, granting you a shower of loot. You can only harvest a Guardian's soul twice per day per character. Similar to Chaos Dungeons, it's possible to farm Guardian Raids more than twice per day, but your subsequent clears won't give as much loot unit the weekly reset.

Guardian Raids are unlocked upon reaching level 50 and completing the "Guardian Raid Qualification Certificate" guide quest. You can find the quest in North Vern. If it's not available to you, be sure you've finished the Chaos Dungeon guide quest. To queue for a Guardian Raid, head to the minimap icon that looks like a red banner in any major city.

In terms of the Scrapper's gauge, she has two: a Yellow bar and a Green bar. Yellow skills boost the yellow bar, green boosts the green bar. These are Stamina and Shock skills. The skills do different things, usually determined by your Engravings. We will go into detail about this below.

Engravings are similar for the Raid build as they are Dungeons - go for Death Strike, Loyal Companion if you have it, and Hit Master as the recommended Combat Engraving to get first with the Sharpshooter.

The important part of playing the Sharpshooter is to maximize your Hawk Meter by using skills like Blade Storm. Because of the Death Strike Class Engraving, the Hawk becomes even more powerful and is a staple part of your damage-dealing ability. You want to apply Last Rush with the Hawk - this provides a massive damage debuff on the raid boss, meaning it takes extra damage for 8 seconds. Follow up with your burst in this window.
