Lost Ark: Gunlancer Class Guide

Piety Meter: Each time your attack hits a target, the Piety Meter increases. It also passively gains charge. At max charge, you can activate either Sacred Executioner or Holy Aura. Sacred Executioner enhances your Punish skills, while Holy Aura grants you and nearby allies 10% increased attack damage. You cannot gain Piety while either buff is active, and the gauge resets when either effect ends. Only one of these buffs can be active at a time.


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

This guide will give an overview of how the Paladin works, its Identity skill, the best Engravings to run with this class, and the best skills you should be using. Get ready to smite your foes and give your allies some powerful buffs.


You'll want to use Upper Slash , Head Hunt, Blitz Rush, and Moonlight Sonic to create some powerhouse combos against anyone that gets hit by you. Your other abilities should provide mobility or additional damage to help you set up combos against your opponents. The idea is to juggle your opponents in the air and damage them with Moonlight Sonic for serious damage. More specifics can be found in our Deathblade best builds gu

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 Online Guide.


As well as the ranged attacks and a couple of melee attacks, the Sharpshooter's identity skill is to summon a Hawk . It acts a bit like a pet and requires very little micromanagement. You've got two options: send it in to tickle the enemy, or make it self-destr

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.


Note: Lost Ark is a free-to-play game which means these Founder's Packs are 100 percent optional. They offer extra benefits in-game but are not necessary to play. Note: All Founder's Packs stack. So, if you purchase a Gold pack, you also get all the benefits from the Bronze and Silver pa

As a support, the Paladin is only matched by the Bard in the NA and EU version of Lost Ark. Paladins provide a plethora of damage buffs, survivability increases, and they even cleanse debuffs. If you want to support your allies while wielding holy magic and a massive sword, the Paladin is for you. If you're looking for a DPS class, pick something else.


This style of build utilizes Spincutter, Soul Absorber, Moonlight Sonic, and Blitz Rush to dish out some serious damage. Some of these abilities are charged, so be sure you're behind the enemy before you begin to rotate through your abilities. With enough Specialization and Crit , you should be able to carve through opponents and maintain Remaining Energy's various buffs with little is

The Paladin and Bard are equally as powerful in Lost Ark's endgame and see equal use for most activities. In general, the Bard is better at healing than the Paladin, but the Paladin's skills are slightly easier to use. Bards rely heavily on their Identity skill and short-range skills to buff their allies, leading to more decision-making in combat. Paladins have much forgiving support skills, on average covering a larger radius when compared to the Bard. This class might have less punchy heals than the Bard, yet Paladin is the only support class in NA/EU that can cleanse debuffs.

Blessed Aura enhances the Paladin's Holy Aura with two additional benefits: damage reduction and healing. This makes your Holy Aura a powerhouse in terms of support capabilities, making this a must-have Engraving for just about every Paladin build in Lost Ark.


This is a sample set of Sharpshooter skills for a build that uses the Death Strike class Engraving. So think of it as a big burst, high critical damage. We will go into more detail in specific builds for the Sharpshooter when there is a more accurate overview of the NA/EU pa


As a Deathblade, you'll be using a wide range of rapid-hitting attacks to build up the Deathblade Arts, your class identity skill. When activated, you become a supercharged version of yourself that's faster, hits harder, and can unleash a devastating final blow. Those that love dexterity-focused melee classes in MMOs and ARPGs will feel right at home with the Deathblade. Oh, and this class is a blast to play in PvP, making this an excellent main class for newcomers and veterans al

The Paladin's Identity skill revolves around their Piety Meter , a gauge that grants access to one of two powerful buffs when full—a damage buff or a support aura. As we've just mentioned, you're going to be using Holy Aura the most to frequently buff the damage of your allies. In general, you'll want to ignore Sacred Executioner (the blue buff) unless you're playing solo content.
