Lost Ark: Gunlancer Class Guide
Much like the other Martial Artist classes, the Wardancer has some balanced builds between PvE and PvP, has a charging gauge for special abilities, and is fairly squishy. This guide covers an overview of everything you need to know about the class.
The Paladin is designed as a tanky support class that can provide team benefits in both PvP and PvE. Abilities come in two styles: Yellow (Holy Skills) and Blue (Punish Skills) . These are divided into support and attack damage skills— Yellow for Support, Blue for Damage. However, don't think you're going to be much damage. While you can pick up some damage for leveling, your role is solely to support. **** That said, they deal more than enough damage to progress through Chaos Dungeons or Towers on their own.
Guardian's Protection - When you activate this skill, you recover 100% Shield Meter and release a protection aura of 10m around your character. Foes inside the aura take extra damage and are stunned. All party members take 40% less damage and are immune to debuffs and pus
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.
The Wardancer is a high-mobility, high burst damage, melee class that really shines in PvP arenas , although there are suitable builds for PvE. The Wardancer can build her power gauge and then unleash high-powered special abilities . Like other classes in Lost Ark, your playstyle is determined by your choice of Engraving. You'll find that the Wardancer has a fair bit of downtime between bursts, so be aware of this before you begin leveling. This guide is designed to help you make the right choice before you start working on your main. So here is our tip: during high-level endgame content you will spend your time, well, not doing much at all.
Shotguns are your main source of damage. Make sure you're rotating into the shotgun regularly to get your priority damage off. These abilities are BACK ATTACKS, which means you need to be stood right up behind the boss and blasting your shotguns away.
Crystalline Aura is essentially what you're paying the money for out of the options, and it does make the Bronze Founder's Pack worth it if you're going to be putting a lot of time into the game during the first month of release. Crystalline Aura is the premium membership for Lost Ark and can be purchased again at a later da
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun. At this level of Dungeon you just want to use your Shotgun abilities off-cooldown whenever they're available. Rotate with Pistol skills like Equilibrium and Rifle skills like Spiral Flame.
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 .
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.
Most importantly, the damage-enhancing support skills for the Bard and Paladin have the same effectiveness, so most groups don't care who you bring. Ultimately, pick what you find the most fun or who you think looks the coolest.
Crit Rate of Red skills (damage/Gunlance) increased by 15%. Crit damage is increased by 50%. You cannot use your shield, and shield meter is consumed 100% times faster in Defensive Stance.

The Founder's Exclusive Avatar is an interesting one. If you follow the Korean and Russian versions of the anime game crafting guide, you'll know that these Avatars, or skins, can make you loads of gold later on. If this Avatar remains a Founder exclusive and not available later it will be a rare item. Worth keeping in m
Judgment increases the damage of your Punish (blue) skills, but its real use is in building up your Piety Meter faster. It's not uncommon for Paladins to spec for this Engraving to build up their gauge faster, allowing for better uptime on Holy Aura.
A bit like Master of Ambush, Keen Blunt Weapon ( increases crit damage by 50% at level 3, but increases chance of dud hits ) complements the Deadeye's kit of high crit damage and high crit rate. It also works well with the Enhanced Weapon engraving with this build - so, pretty much another must-have.

In simple terms: Combat Readiness is for a tanky, shielded build, whereas Solo Knight is for a burst damage and DPS build. Leaning into the Gunlancer's advantages means that the Combat Readiness Engraving is the one we'd recommend for a juicy, powerful PvE build. It enhances your defensive abilities (shield) while also providing you with plenty of damage buffs. However, Gunlancer is a super-balanced class, and if you're looking for pure burst damage output, there is a very reliable DPS crit build using the Lone Knight Engraving to clear dungeons and other endgame cont
