in this lost ark word answer guide i'm going to show you what it means to play as a ward answer in terms of how well they perform in combat the best skills and tripods to focus on and the play styles available to them if you're searching for a melee dps class with the ability to buff themselves as well as the party to be effective in combat then this ward answer guide is for you be sure to check out our other lost art class guides including shadowhunters sorceress gunslinger paladin gunlancer and deathblade war dancers are one of the advanced classes that fall under the martial artist they wield lightweight knuckles which allow them to deal considerable damage up close and personal by performing a combination of punches and kicks however they're not as straightforward to play since you need to learn to manage the relatively long cooldown period of their skills the lost dark wardancer will be able to inflict high damage as long as you perfectly land your hits in addition you're able to effectively dart in and out of combat because of how quick your movement speed is similar to deathblade so our war dancers need to change positions to punch and kick enemies from behind to maximize the amount of damage they deal with their back attack skills on the bright side they can buff their entire party to boost their mobility ward dancers and strikers are highly mobile dps classes in lost ark with the ability to execute multiple combos at melee range but there are a few differences that set them apart for instance war dancers are more agile allowing her to inflict consistent damage throughout she also has a class engraving which improves the damage dealt by her normal skills at the expense of rendering esoteric skills unusable conversely strikers focus on building energy to deal maximum damage he's also not as fast but he can deal excellent damage while auto attacking much less if you've been meaning to play a faster class while granting a variety of buffs to your allies then you should pick the war dancer the lost ark ward answer is a melee dps clash that focuses on dealing decent burst damage based on optimal skill rotation as a martial artist their mobility allows them to cover a rather large area since they can easily move from one point to the next in the blink of an eye making it a challenge to pin them down they also benefit from this since their skills have higher cooldowns meaning that there is a certain down time when it comes to follow-throughs in their combos what's more as war dancers are a squishy class which makes it more essential to upgrade their mobility having a fast reaction time helps in precisely executing back attack skills to maximize the damage you inflict in terms of buffs wardancers can improve their crit rate and mitigate damage as well as boost attack speed and movement speed all advanced classes in lost ark have unique features or identities that differentiate them from other classes these can either unleash more damage or enhance the buffs they grant for the lost dark word answer it's the esoteric identity allowing them to use special skills known as esoteric skills which are strong and overwhelming damage abilities that consume one or two orbs the energy used to power these orbs increases every time you hit enemies with basic and normal skills note that when esoteric skills are active you won't be gaining esoteric energy however the moment you go back into your normal state you can start instantly filling up your esoteric meter without needing to wait for several seconds unlike the shadowhunters shadowburst energy by the time your lost dark wardancer reaches level 60 you'll have unlocked a total of 18 skills comprised of normal esoteric and awakening skills to add to this you've invested several points into normal and esoteric skills to specialize further by unlocking their respective tripods the tripod system allows players to customize skills in various ways like increasing the esoteric energy gained or reducing the cooldown of their respective abilities in total you only need eight skills per character with a select number of tripods in this section i'll cover the essential normal and esoteric skills and tripods you should allocate points into regardless of the play style you end up choosing normal skills and tripods lightning kick a good engagement skill that lets you perform a flurry of kicks to close the gap between you and your enemies while dealing decent damage in the process what makes lightning strike more effective are sharp movement thunder kick and heaven's lightning this combination broadens the area you cover due to improved mobility on top of inflicting extra damage as you slam targets to the ground you'll also be able to perform another rapid kick towards the end of the skill flash heat fang delivers a series of painful punches to deal great damage rather than moving around you'll stay in place the moment you activate flash heat fang so remember to position yourself directly behind targets to maximize the damage you deal if you have a gap between you and your enemy not all of your attacks will connect the best tripods to keep in mind are fist of darkness and weak point detection these upgrades boost your crit rate and make the skill even more effective against push immune or stronger targets to improve your survivability since you don't move while the flash heat fang is in use you should take the enlightenment tripod which grants push immunity and ignores a portion of the enemy's defense moon flash kick another excellent skill to charge towards enemies by kicking your way to them and then performing a spinning back kick to deal incredible damage to make moon flash kick much more powerful you should consider choosing intense shock light footed and full moon kick this combination lets you inflict damage over time by electrocution when you charge into them increases the aoe in the number of kicks you make and deals massive damage with your finisher move wins whisper buffs you and your allies for a period of time to be able to use wins whisper more frequently it's good to invest in quick prep to decrease the skills cooldown you can then choose oath of the wind and ready attack to boost your overall damage by raising crit rate and attack power respectively swift wind kick this allows you to traverse the area by creating a whirlwind with your kicks which you're able to easily control to inflict considerable damage over time to use swift win kick more often you should take the quick prep tripod the other upgrades to obtain are fire round kick to deal added damage over time by burning affected enemies and extreme training to boost your damage and make it easier to manage your war dancer while this skill is active roar of courage this lets you shout into the open not only to deal damage against nearby enemies but also to impose a debuff to temporarily decrease their crit resistance the best roar of courage tripods to get are wide hit impaired mobility and fatal wave this combination widens the aoe lessens the target's movement speed so you can follow through with another combo of punches or kicks and further reduces their crit resistance making them extremely vulnerable sweeping kick a very powerful kick to deal lethal damage and to push enemies who aren't immune away from you this creates a breathing room so that you can move around and recover your bearings because of the space between your owner targets you're able to get away with equipping pure excellence to deal the most amount of damage possible even if the damage you receive increases the remaining sweep kick tripods to consider are weak point detection thereby improving damage dealt against push immune targets and shadow cleave to boost your crit rate while temporarily blinding them energy combustion this skill is quite similar to deathblade's male strumming that you're able to conjure and maintain a gust of wind surrounding you to deal damage against nearby enemies while energy combustion is active you can use other skills to improve your defenses it's best to take combustible armor she then obtains skill reduction and last whisper this combination lowers the skills cooldown period at the cost of reducing its duration in the end energy combustion will deal explosive damage if you pick the esoteric skill enhancement engraving you should get sky shattering blow to gain a huge amount of esoteric energy sky shattering blow unleash roundhouse kicks to attack in multiple directions sky shattering blow is a good skill to momentarily paralyze normal monsters and to send them flying into the air thanks to ascension kick the other tripods to choose are ready attack to boost your attack power on your second hit and abundant resources to increase the esoteric energy you gain by about 200 percent esoteric skills and tripods lightning strike releases a ball of energy to deal great damage while stunning enemies and debilitating them in the process note that you'll consume one orb upon activating lightning strike to make this skill more effective you should choose vital point hit steady will and electrocution this combination boosts your crit rate and overall damage call of the wind god makes use of a devastating tornado to attack enemies over a period of time you'll consume two orbs upon activating this skill the best call of the wind god tripods to select are growth attack and raging storms both of these upgrades enhance the damage dealt during and right after the skills activation which results in explosive damage you can then pick frost storm to slow down enemy movement and freeze them after several stacks if you have three full orbs ready you can immediately use lightning strike on frozen targets to inflict better damage in lost arc every advanced class unlocks engravings that allow you to further specialize in your chosen class as these grant special effects which you can activate by reading recipe books and equipping accessories and ability stones you're able to obtain them as random rewards by completing endgame activities such as chaos and abyss dungeons and guardian raids in this section i'm going to talk about lost ark word answer engravings which determine the play style you wish to adopt for your character and our class specific abilities and traits you gain access to this when you reach higher levels the two class engravings available to the word answer are esoteric skill enhancement and first intention let's first discuss the esoteric skill enhancement class engraving or playstyle together with the stats that go with it esoteric skill enhancement increases the number of orbs available at your disposal from three to four the damage you deal with esoteric skills is also improved however you need to aim for esoteric skill enhancement level three due to the incremental damage increases at lower levels she then slot two of the esoteric skills we've talked about to take advantage of this playstyle for normal skills such as moon flash kick wins whisper roar of courage sweeping kick and energy combustion you're going to want to choose tripods that let you gain esoteric energy in order to quickly charge your orbs for instance you can substitute moon flash kick's intense shock for white flame kit doing so will enable you to use esoteric skills more often in terms of esoteric skill enhancements combat stats you'll want to prioritize specialization followed by crit when gearing up this setup maximizes the damage inflicted with esoteric skills while increasing the amount of esoteric energy you gain it also enhances the crit rate of your normal skills and therefore its corresponding damage comparatively first intention is the much more popular playstyle between the two because of its high damage buff you receive in exchange for losing access to your esoteric skills this is a great trade-off since you can simply focus on normal skills and auto attacks rather than managing your esoteric meter as well for the first intention engraving reaching level 3 would be the goal to significantly boost your overall damage in terms of first intentions combat stats you should focus on swiftness to improve your mobility and attack speed while reducing the cooldown rate of your normal skills you can then allocate points into crit to enhance your crit rate even more final tips as a lost ark or dancer you'll have to adjust your playstyle especially if you're more used to executing frontal attacks due to the volume of back attack skills available it's essential to change directions often so you can go behind targets before hitting them with your combos doing so will drastically increase your damage in pvp the war dancer is focused on engaging enemies and buffing the entire party for better mobility they can then deal rapid attacks while blitzing from one point to the next to get the most out of your skills especially the wind's whisper buff which only lasts 6 seconds you'll have to engage targets first you'll then be activating wins whisper to boost everyone's attack and movement speed followed by roar of courage to lessen enemies quit resistance energy combustion is also important to reduce the damage you take finally you could smash them by activating several high damage combos using the rest of your normal skills like moon flash kick and sweeping kick lastly remember that you'll be incorporating auto attacks or basic skills into your burst skill rotation although this won't be huge it's important to continue dealing damage while waiting for your normal skills to cool down stay tuned for more lost art class guides
