The Sharpshooter is a reliable Raid class because of its very high-power damage output. You want to focus on a set of skills that revolve around Snipe, which is a massive burst damage ability that can be used to delete Raid bosses. Arrow Wave, Atomic Arrow, and Charged Shot are all important . Here's a closer look at the ideal Raid build for 240-250 skill points (beginner level.)

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 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.

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.


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

We should point out that Lost Ark has an incredibly flexible class build system and a lot of versatility when it comes to deciding how you want to play. Just because something isn't 'meta' it doesn't mean it's not viable. If you really like the Wardancer, it pays to experiment with the class and decide for yourself what sort of playstyle you want to go for. Then you can start looking at more advanced builds.


Since the Xbox One's release back in 2013, Xbox has been heavily criticized for its lack of first-party exclusives. While Sony has been busy pumping out incredible experiences like Marvel's Spider-Man , The Last of Us 2 , and Horizon Zero Dawn , Xbox has given its fan-base only a few Halo s, one or two Gears games, and a handful of neat surprises like Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Bre

One of the highlights of E3 2021, Replaced is coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2022. Replaced uses beatifully unique retro-futuristic pixel art and 2.5D environments to construct an original take on the sci-fi cyberpunk genre. The game's cinematic lighting and camera angles, along with the fluid combat mechanics, are likely to make this one of 2022's best video Anime game story guide offeri

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.


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


In terms of utility, the Striker really specializes in CC . This is why he's so useful in PvP. With a number of attacks that keep your enemies pinned down, you're playing an offensive role that should target healers and other squishy oppone


The Striker's specialty gauge stacks from attacks and abilities, generating Elemental Orbs . You might see these called Chakras or energy while reading through other guides. You can store three elemental at any time, four if you use the Deathblow class engraving. These are then used up when you activate Esoteric skills , high-damage abilities that can only be activated when your Elemental bar is full or partially f

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 .
