Later, once you start dishing out stats between different pieces of gear, you want Crit as primary and Specialization as secondary, just to get your Hawk up again and provide debuffs/damage. We cover this in more detail in our Sharpshooter Raid build.

Shadowhunters, known as “Demonic” in Korean and Russian clients, is an advanced Assassin class that has mastered demonic shapeshifting. Shadowhunters dominate the battlefield with their pair of bladed tonfas, demonic-themed powers, and their true demonic f

The Sharpshooter, like other Gunner classes, likes Crit damage, especially with the build above. At level 3, Keen Blunt Weapon provides a boost of 50% crit damage. That’s massive.

Loyal Companion

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

Increases size of perfect zone, when you land a perfect shot the ability has a crit rate increase of 30% and crit damage increase of 160%

Here’s a look at the Sharpshooter’s two Awakening skills. These are endgame ultimate abilities, essentia

The Striker is a subclass for the ‘Martial Artist’ class. In terms of where the Striker stands in PvP and PvE, it’s a popular PvP class and sees less use in PvE. However, like all classes in Lost Ark, there are suitable builds for each gameplay t

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.

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

For Awakening, it’s time for Golden Eye again . Lots of AoE damage is good for dealing damage as you move in to deal damage with Blade Storm and the stealth it provides can be good for dodging attacks from the Raid boss. There is some flexibility with this build so play around with what feels good to you.

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

Increases the attack to an AoE with 8m radius, deals extra damage

This is a sample Striker build, although to fully refine the class you will have to work with Runes. You will find more detailed build guides in our Lost Ark Striker class best bui

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 Anime Game Collectibles 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.

Another familiar Engraving, Cursed Doll provides a solid 16% attack power boost at the cost of reduced healing (25%) when you use potions and other items. The tradeoff is worth it.

Keen Blunt Weapon

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

Overall, the Shadowhunter is a class that’s easy to play, deals excellent damage, and features some of the flashiest abilities in the game. It doesn’t have the best group utility when compared to other specs, but if you love the idea of carving through hordes of opponents as a demon, Shadowhunter is the class for y

Five Normal Skills stand out from the rest: Demonic Slash, Thrust Impact, Demolition, Cruel Cutter, and Sharpened Cut. These abilities are commonly used in human-focused and demon-focused builds, albeit with different Tripods for each bu

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.
