Lost Ark: Guardian Raid Guide

This section is designed to give you a brief overview of the different Artillerist skills in a sample skillset that hovers between the 240-300 skill points mark . Rather than a detailed build breakdown, this is an overview of what sort of skills the Artillerist has on offer, as well as how the whole class comes together with shields, CC-immunity, and high burst DPS.

A dedicated vendor can also transfer your item upgrades into a new piece of gear, saving you days of grinding.



You get two Powerpass tickets upon reaching level 50, allowing you to boost two alternate characters straight into the endgame.

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.


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 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


The Sharpshooter is a ranged DPS class in Lost Ark that relies on advanced bows and unique arrows to deal damage. In short, that means you're going to be dealing mostly ranged/long-range damage, with a few close-range abilities thrown in there as w

Starting out, you'll only be able to clear the first raid level of Guardians. To unlock additional raid levels, you'll need to complete all subsequent Guardian Raids. For example, to unlock raid level two, you'll need to complete all four Guardian Raids at raid level one. Tiers are broken down as follows:


This class overview covers some basic class mechanics for the Sharpshooter, as well as a look at playstyles, Engravings, and a sample skill build. This is not designed as an advanced class guide, but rather as a "Here's an overview to help you decide whether you want to play the ranged warri

The Barrage Engraving works with your Barrage mode, resets the cooldowns of all Barrage skills when you kill an opponent. This also increases skill damage by +2% with a 25 max stack.

Which one do you take with the Artillerist? Overall, the Firepower Enhancement engraving sees more use for PvE leveling and endgame clearing. Not only is the incoming damage reduction great for difficult content, but the boost to your crit rate also helps you deal even more damage during your burst window.


Deathblade Surge is cast in the max level of Surge Zero form, regardless of the number of Death Orbs you have. When Arts is activated and skills other than Basic and Awakening attacks hit, the Surge Enhancement effect is stacked every 0.4 seconds (max 20 stacks). When Death Trance ends, gain Death Orb Meter for each Surge Enhancement effect you have (5% ea


Upon activating Last Rush, recover 50% of the Hawk meter. The enemy hit by the ability takes an extra 40% damage for 8 seconds.

Both of these class Engravings are viable, and it really depends on what sort of situation you find yourself in/what sort of build you're going for. On the one hand, you have Death Strike, which focuses on a burst damage build that wants to maintain the extra damage debuff for as long as possible . The Loyal Companion playstyle is basically anti-burst - you don't use the self-destruct and instead want to keep the Hawk summoned for maximum sustained dama

Most leveling guides you'll read on the internet will recommend that you skip every side quest in Lost Ark. And they're right, mostly. Side quests give pitiful XP and rewards in the KR and RU versions of Lost Ark, but Smilegate made some small reward changes in the NA/EU version.

Unlike most MMOs, you don't have to live and breathe Lost Ark to get the most out of it. Hardcore players that log in daily will get the most rewards, but Lost Ark has a few catch-up mechanics that make it much easier to play casually.
