LOST ARK ALL CLASSES GUIDE PVE/PVP OVERVIEW - WHAT CLASS SHOULD YOU PLAY? (2022 LAUNCH)

the nae regions are going to be releasing with these 15 classes confirmed we'll be talking about the basic identity and style for each class from a pve aspect as well as a pvp aspect each class will have a pve performance rating given to us by kr's rank 1 player jidao obviously there are different builds that you can run with for each class so take this as you will also there's nothing i'd appreciate more than a like and subscribe button push as it really helps my channel grow i'm streaming live on twitch five days a week and that is the absolute best way to connect with me personally otherwise our discord which also happens to have a lot of guys that we've been putting together for a lot of you new players that are looking for help whether that's in the form of builds basic guides beginner guides whatever that may be you can find all that information in the discord links in the description below final note here i didn't have footage for every single class for pve and pvp so i did take some footage from other content creators to represent some of these classes show them some love you can find their links in the description below the name fits the bill on this one and as a berserker expect to make heavy impact every time you connected your skills zerkers are on the slower end when it comes to the speed of their attacks meaning slower animations and higher base cooldowns but when you land your damage it makes a dent of all the other warrior classes berserker is the squishiest but not to be confused with it actually being squishy on the other end of it they have the best mobility and burst damage of the warrior group their class identity skill allows them to go into a berserk mode which is exactly that high attack speeds movement speed damage and even a berserk specific skill if you like the idea of running around with a giant greatsword and just dishing out huge burst damage this is it pvp wise berserkers are not the best initiators instead berserkers shine when a team can play around the zerker's cooldowns and set up attack opportunities for him if a team can successfully do this beserker is an insanely powerful class even at the highest levels of play this however also means that this class can be a bit calm sensitive compared to others seeing as you won't be able to create opportunities as well as some of the other top tier melee classes zerkers have a very powerful all-around kit that's very useful for 3v3 team play but you're balanced by slower and telegraph skills despite being a warrior class paladin is one of the two true support classes if you wish to be more of a red pally from wow where you focus on more of an offensive output style you may choose to do so but don't expect to be at the top of the dps meters not that they exist paladins will require a good sense of positioning and placement of skills and focuses more on keeping your party alive than dealing damage the identity of this class allows you to either focus on damage output or support probably the edgiest looking class in the game i should mention that this class is just very aesthetically pleasing and if you're into that holy arch type this is definitely going to hit home for you i was honestly tempted to play this class just because of how badass the costumes looked for it in pvp paladins are best played as a support in cc role its ideal kit allows it to be an extremely powerful support allowing shields and damage reduction to his teammates while there are dps builds out there and about a ton of high damage number pub stomping videos on youtube that style of play simply falls off the higher you go as other classes have the ability to dish out damage a lot more easier a lot more effectively while paladins lack in terms of cc protection they make up for it with access to a lot of damage mitigation in range paladins have sneaky good range and have quite a few mid-range knock-ups that increase in range with their identity buff up of the two true support classes paladin is the more offensive version compared to its counterpart bard if you like the idea of playing a support role but would rather look like a badass edgy holy knight instead of your typical cloth wearing female this is the class for you the tank class of lost ark gun lancer is a super beefy damage absorbing no mobility class with access to a ton of damage mitigation gun lancer is by far the tankiest class in the game in fact it's a bit of a hybrid as it's seen as an off support dps tank while you are handicapped with some of the worst mobility in the game you can literally ignore boss mechanics due to your taking this you're designed to take hits on top of that you also have access to taunts and pulls giving you more of that tank feel gun lancers have some pretty good burst damage but outside of those windows the damage is pretty low gun lancers have a strong presence in the pvp scene similar to pve they provide strong shields to their teammates while providing strong utility in the form of pulls and counters when it comes to strengths and weaknesses gun lancers are very strong against melee but they struggle against range while being in off support in pvp they also have solid damage in the form of burst while they won't be at the top of the damaged charts the burst windows are solid making them a legitimate threat the first male martial artist class it's no surprise that the founder's costume is the ryu outfit the class itself feels very much like a fighter with multiple skills that were probably inspired by street fighter's ryu damage comes in the form of burst windows as strikers have identity skills that require meter which is gained by applying damage build meter bursts in the form of punches and kicks pretty straightforward striker is a true melee class with high mobility and pvp very comparable to war dancer striker would be more of the offensive version of that class one of the more faster paced classes when it comes to pvp strikers can move around the arena extremely well engaging and disengaging very quickly the skill design allows strikers to not only be agile but also be very creative with their engages as you can weave skills together strikers output damage in the form of combos and have the ability to juggle targets for long periods of time however this is also a downside seeing as strikers don't have strong quick burst potential and the lack of protection to cc makes them vulnerable when trying to juggle targets the small hitboxes with lack of protection can make this very punishing especially for newer players before striker there was war dancer punches and kicks will fly as the gameplay feels like a true melee martial artist that has a meter and lets it go unlike its striker counterpart her damage isn't reliant on her meter dump as she applies buffs and debuffs then burns her cooldowns during that window making her less burstier but solid with sustained damage the buffs and debuffs that the war dancer has also brings a lot of value to the team due to the fact that she's pretty much just burning skills off cooldown the difficulty to truly master a word answer is one of the lowest in the game in pvp war dancer plays as the defensive version of striker the kit is very similar as they have some of the same skills however the playstyle is still a little bit different in the sense that while striker focuses more on the offensive output war dancers offer more support to their team in the form of damage reduction in buffs because of this war dancers are good frontliners that can open up opportunities for their team rather than being a damage carry they suffer the same issues that strikers do with the small hitboxes and lack of cc protection furthermore they aren't quite as mobile and creative with their engages as their striker counterpart but they do make up for this in the form of support if you want to play a class that gives you giant gauntlets while punching everything and flying around this could be the class for you scrapper is a bit unique compared to the other martial artists due to its identity scrappers have two meters in two types of skills yellow and green to put it plainly you'll be alternating between the two as using a yellow skill will consume the yellow meter while giving you more green meter and the green skills vice versa i should also mention that scrappers are also specialists when it comes to destruction and impairment which are very useful for boss fights as every raid will have these phases where destruction and impairment are needed scrappers in pvp can feel very powerful due to the amount of super armors the class has access to high damage low cooldowns and a lot of super armors make it a very forgiving class to play however what balances the scrapper in pvp are its longer skill animations which can be punished by hard cc's by better teams and players should also note that scrappers are the only class in the game that is able to use the spacebar dash twice but at the cost of a higher cooldown when used known as the dragon ball z character soul fists come equipped with both range and melee skills if you're into a martial artist style class that can shoot energy balls this is the class for you soulfuls have a power stance identity that allows them to charge up their key up to four times or four levels for a certain period of time each time you charge up you'll be doing more damage once you go through all the levels though there will be a cooldown period where you don't do very much damage pvpy soulfish should always have a place in the meta as a high-end class due to its off support outside of the two true support classes bart and paladin sulfus along with warlord are the two best off support classes for a team soulfists can provide buffs for their team including a very very good damage reduction buff her off support is not to be confused with low damage output however soulfus can be very scary when they're in their appropriate levels especially due to the fact that everything is enhanced including things such as shorter cc durations and even lower cooldowns on roll solfis are definitely a very solid class for pvp at all levels like their male counterpart deadeye gunslingers come equipped with three weapons pistol shotgun and rifle the identity of gunslingers allow you to alternate freely between each one to deal damage to your enemies expect to spend a decent amount of time short range with your pistols and shotguns as you will long range with your rifle outside of the fact that you have arguably the best sustained damage in the game you're also very mobile but at the cost of being the squishiest gunslingers in pvp are also a force to be reckoned with and should be a top choice performance wise for the western release having multiple super armors and the ability to deal with melee while being strong vs range make a good gunslinger very scary to deal with as someone who can catch opposing range classes while being able to defend against melee gunslingers have strong combo damage with a good ability of controlling fov positioning if you're thinking of playing gunslinger for pvp expect to have to aim well as a lot of the hitboxes are narrow this also makes this class not the ping friendliest originally known as the blaster an artillerist comes equipped with a massive launcher and focuses on nuking targets the artillerist is pretty balanced when it comes to burst vs sustain but lacks in the mobility department having a very unique identity artillerists can go into a turret mode where they can mow down targets with turret specific skills keep in mind though you are stationary during this dance and it can be pretty punishing if you're caught from boss mechanics despite being a gunner expect to spend a lot of time mid to close range to maximize damage but in return you are pretty beefy and able to soak up damage pretty well when an artillerist is in the arena they can deal insane amounts of damage if left untouched artillerists have the best combo damage in the game so if they catch someone that player will lose at least half of his hp bar maybe even more on top of this fact they come protected with shields that can also absorb incoming attacks the playstyle of an artillerist is a very defensive one as their kit is not designed around initiating as strong as this kit sounds one of the drawbacks is that it is a very predictable class making it easily counterable in order for an artillerist to do damage he needs to land that combo and sometimes that can be easier said than done like its female counterpart gunslinger deadeye also comes equipped with three weapons pistol shotgun and rifle the identity of gunslingers allow you to alternate freely between each one to deal damage to your enemies expect to spend a decent amount of time short range with your pistols and shotguns as you will long range with your rifle outside of the fact that you have strong sustain damage you're also very mobile but at the cost of being the squishiest i should mention that deadeye uniquely has a only build which is considered at this moment in off meta build and game it's no surprise that deadeye plays very similar to gunslinger there are subtle differences making them slightly unique to each other in the sense that deadeye when compared to gunslinger is a bit more effective versus melee classes while being less effective verse range otherwise everything else is virtually the same in the sense that they have multiple super armors strong combo damage with a solid ability of controlling fov positioning if you're thinking of playing deadeye for pvp expect to have to aim well as a lot of the hitboxes are narrow this also makes this class not the ping friendliest say hello to your bow and arrow class while you'll spend a lot of time at range you also have short range skills that you'll be weaving into your rotation giving you an in-and-out dynamic play style its identity gives him the ability to summon hawks which you can use to apply additional damage to your target you can expect to have less burst but strong sustained damage with sharpshooter the hardest hitting skills do come from range with your bow so you'll definitely have that sharpshooter feel in pvp the sharpshooter is your stealth-based class that fares well at harassing the general playstyle of a sharpshooter revolves around going in and out of stealth and damaging targets from afar with your bow or see seeing targets close out of stealth then retreating after your damage is applied your kit allows you to kite and escape very well however this gimmicky playstyle can be predictable in punishing when caught while sharp shooters can definitely solo carry early games that performance starts to drop off the higher you get however we have seen sharpshooters perform at the highest levels as there were a few sharpshooters competing in the previous royal rotors tournament when you think support in lost ark the first class that you think of is barred elegance is what comes to mind as bards wield a harp and play music to cast support skills and deal damage if you're looking to play a class that solely focuses on support then bard is right up your alley as the support provides multiple buffs for teammates don't expect to spam support skills non-stop as endgame raids require you to be strategic with your abilities and having class knowledge will bolster your team's performance through your play a good bard's presence will be absolutely felt by a team and she can make or break a team's overall performance its identity is pretty straightforward as you'll have a meter and you'll build that up and you spend the meter by providing buffs or heals for your team despite bard being a top tier support class you may also play it as a dps role and find some success as its sustained damage isn't bad this however requires a full commitment to dps for the build and it can be rather expensive and time consuming as you'll need two different sets if you're confident in pvp and you can walk the walk you will absolutely shine in the upper ranks of pvp in fact you'll be loved you may not be a highlight reel but you will certainly be the backbone of the group at the grandmaster rank you'd be safe in placing your money on the team that has the support over the team that doesn't bards are one of the two classes in lost ark that can successfully fill the support role of a team providing crucial support skills in the form of shields and even cc immunity despite having poor mobility surprisingly enough bards can hold their own and can help finish off targets as they do have skills that do some decent damage one of the major downsides however is that climbing the ranks may be a bit more difficult than other classes as you will not be able to do much damage overall and you will be reliant on your dps teammates however the more effective you play as a bard the level of teammates you need to climb won't be as high the zookeeper class of lost ark summoners could be equipped with pets that deal damage as she uses elemental based magic skills to dish damage you won't spend much time maneuvering around as a summoner as they have relatively poor mobility however you will be able to remain at range with an arsenal of skills including skills from your pets assuming the aesthetics of this class is up your alley if you're looking for a more straightforward easy to pick up class this could be it for you just note that the summon pets may be frustrating at times and the hardest hitting skill has a bit of a cast time making it more susceptible to miss as raid bosses do move around from a pvp standpoint if you're asking yourself what's the easiest class that i can play that will allow me to climb the highest this is the class the straightforwardness and easy to pick up aspects follow through to pvp and as a summer you can expect to do very high amounts of damage that requires little effort outside of the mobility which is its weak point the kit is overall very solid having pets that can not only damage targets for you but cc them as well having super armors that protect you from cc even having a shield that can protect you from hard cc this is a class that is just overall very strong in pvp to close this one out my good friend says most importantly summoner is pretty in my opinion one of the sickest looking classes in the game the original name of this class being demonic was a perfect word to represent the theme and feel the class you equip double blades that resemble the demon hunter weapons from wow and you utilize both range and melee skills when building enough meter shadowhunters can transform into their demon form allowing you access to more skills and more damage there are a couple different builds for the shadowhunter and game one that focuses more on the human form while the other on the demon form if you're into that flashy edgy demonic style class this is it for you despite the website saying shadowhunters are melee in pvp they are most certainly considered a ranged class shadowhunters are a legitimate threat in the arena as they have a strong ability to cc targets from afar as well as doing high amounts of damage the role of a shadow hunter in pvp centers around the positioning and catching of targets from afar whether it's in the form of a peel or an engage mobility is also not a weakness of this class however a reasonable lack of super armor is i also want to mention that demonics have skills that are on the narrower side in terms of the width of the hitbox for those concerned about ping wielding multiple swords with attacks that land with power and speed welcome to deathblade feeling like a cross between your typical swordsman and assassin class playing a deathblade will give you a combat experience that feels swift personally i get attack on titan vibes from this class but that's just me the gameplay of a deathblade is pretty straightforward as your identity allows you to build meter and either spend it as a strong hit or spend it to buff yourself solid sustained damage coupled by generous hitboxes with skills that move you around playing a death play can be a perfect match if you're looking for the style of play as of the current version of the game deathblades are considered to be one of the top melee dps selections in the arena thanks to its class design deathblades are one of the hardest classes to peel against due to their cc protection and hitboxes they also have strong burst skills that are very effective as they have fair amount of range however having longer cooldowns on their harder hitting skills make the cooldown pacing of a blade similar to that of a berserker interestingly enough while blades do have some mobility in their skills contrary to popular belief their mobility is actually not their strong suit and hold them back a bit being a very strong selection when fighting other melees death blades are put in check by various range classes for the most part
