Soulfist BEGINNER GUIDE | Lost Ark Class Overview

so fists are an advanced class available to martial artists that bring Dragon Ball Z Vibes to the game they have both melee and range skills as well as unique class identity that is called hype as a selfish you can enter three different levels of hype the higher the level the greater the Buffs and the lesser the time you can stay in that mode for after you let a hype level duration run out you'll enter hype level zero and this is basically a high recovery mode during hype level zero you will use minimal skills only and need to wait for a full reload the basic playstyle of the Soul Fist is to release all of your damage during your hype mode Windows with even more focus on your Awakening ability called World decimation which makes you gather energy from your surroundings whilst holding up both hands to the air before dropping the biggest Spirit Bomb in the game keep in mind though that this ability has a really long casting animation so you kind of need to predict your Target's positioning before staking everything on this card but being ranged the melee at the same time makes this class ultimately not the easiest one to play but with enough practice and right timings to throw the biggest explosion in the game it will definitely be worth it so if you're looking for a flashy fast Place class with decent AOE good party Buffs and most importantly the strongest and hard is hitting single Target damage in the game then the Soul Fist is for you when it comes to your Advanced martial artist classes the biggest difference between a solfist and any of the others is that solfice has the most range that provides ultimate flexibility of course that doesn't mean she's a complete ranged Champion like a sorceress since she as well has lots of melee skills that can also be used as Gap closers though having more range means almost always that you'll deal more damage than classes that have to jump right into action like the striker for example on top of that the selfish is also not as fast as the war dance sort of glavia or as slow and heavy as the Scrapper meaning she's a little bit of every martial artist just with the strongest Awakening ability in the game The Soul Fist is a burst oriented class that Buffs itself up to a final hype mode level 3 and then releases as much damage as possible during that phase to be confident in hitting all of her skills during their DPS window you have to pre-plan your rotation and in the best case no all crucial enemy mechanics so typically you start by using one or two movement or sub secondary DPS skills at hype level 1 and then jump into the next hype mode at level 2. you then stay at this hype mode until it almost runs out and you enter your final hype level 3. there you want to immediately activate energy as an opener to buff yourself and your teammates with increased damage reduction and damage overall as the window of hype level 3 doesn't last very long you really want to make sure your Awakening is the first active skill you want to use as it's the hardest hitting and therefore the most important skill in your kit that takes a very long time to cost so again always make sure you enter this rotation when you know your Target's mechanics as you won't be moving when casting or else you may up throwing that gigantic dense ball of energy into simply nothing selfish have two pretty distinct play Styles and can focus more on a faster and straightforward play style with their energy overflow build this leads you to constantly use skills that you make the most of your damage enhancement when you keep your energy meter low but you can also focus on your robust Spirit build that needs you to position more frequently and time your skills better as you'll often find yourself running around in hype stage zero but this ultimately lets you deal the highest numbers due to their good buff kit and somewhat High Mobility you'll spend most of your time running around waiting for your cooldowns and height meter to reload whilst grouping up mobs to make sure you use your few burst skills on the biggest mob group possible as a back attacker you want to also use your Mobility to get behind a single Target like a boss and release your heart hitting skills like merciless Pummel from behind your Awakening is Far and Away the highest single Target damage ability in the game so you'll be using it quite often and feeling the pain of missing moving on to PVP the mid-range nature of the Soul Fist also wants you to stay well mid-ranged one reason for this is that you'll have just enough space to poke your enemies with range skills like force aw while always being in range for a team or follow-up engage to properly make use of your melee skills as well another reason for you to stay in mid-range is that this way you'll always apply the Synergy Buffs to your team as your buff range is limited and having you staying right in the center between back and front line is the best spot for that since your damage will all be done in your hype level burst Windows you also want to focus on that by making sure you activate hype level 3 if you see a perfect window to fully engage a good engage moment for example is if the enemy team is clustered in one place or an enemy Target already used a stand-up dash making it impossible to escape from your Fallout burst combats let's take a look at some of the solfe's core abilities flashstep is the May movement skill as it will rapidly move you to the Target location on top of that is also used to buff your attack damage so run this skill regardless of whatever type of Engraving you take energy releases your main Synergy skill that provides more attack damage and more damage reduction for yourself and your party having this buff makes you want to use it either before they engage or right after to make sure you and your team get the most out of your clashes run this skill regardless of which type of Engraving you take as well merciles funnel is one of the Soul fisters primary DPS when it comes to normal skills it lets you move forward delivering a punch kick punch where each attack does more damage than the previous one Shadow breaker has a quick animation making you strike the ground twice and has the best weak points and stagger built into your kit Heavenly squash is a mid-range DPS skill that drops massive Palms at the Target location which deal a good amount of damage and has some decent stagger built into it as well the same goes for Force awk this mid-range DPS skill makes you shoot three energy balls that knock back Target's hit as with all classes the solfis has access to two Awakening abilities World decimation is pretty much why you pick this class as it's basically a Genki Dharma from Dragon Ball Z the solfish raises her hands above her head and concentrates enough energy to make it explode in a large Airy area ideally you only use this skill when you know your target won't be moving as its animation time alone is three seconds long which may not sound too long in theory but it definitely is annihilating Ray is your second source of Pride as it's basically Goku's Kamehameha the Soul Fist gathers energy here as well but you need to release it whilst holding the skill after you release the hotkey you'll get help from a comrade soul and your key Ray would deal increased damage in terms of play rate most people use World destination though as it's not a holding skill but mainly because it's the highest single Target damage skill in the entire world of archicia catapulting U2 MVP in every raid as long as you hit it every Last Arc class has access to Engravings that will focus your playstyle in one particular direction for selfish you will choose between robust spirit and energy overflow robust spirit makes your selfish become a burst machine as it lets you skip hype level 1 and 2 whenever you use your identity to power yourself up meaning you'll always hover between your strongest height level 3 and the weakest hype recovery mode zero the play style with this engraving shifts from managing your energy to more like lining up your hard hitters to release them all at once in that small window that you enter whilst in the highest stage of hype when you choose this engraving you want to focus on the specialization staff first to increase your damage of your Awakening decrease the downtime of recovery mode and of course enhance the damage during your key explosion after that you want to focus on crit to try and pulverize anything that gets caught up inside your Awakening explosion energy overflow speeds up your playstyle quite a bit as it kind of lets you ignore your energy bars since you can't get it to zero anymore this allows you to spam your skills whilst increasing your damage if you keep your energy bar below 30 it makes it a bit more consistent and hence reliable damage type of playstyle but it comes at the cost of disabling your additional energy recovery whilst in hype that being said you want to make sure to stay at hype 2 most of the time to deal consistent damage output and then let it run out to height zero so that your downtime won't be as long you only enter hype stage 3 if your Awakening skill is ready to be used as you'll suffer greater down the time the higher the hype level you were in when you choose this engraving you want to focus on the swiftness stat first to keep cooldowns as low as possible helping you rotate through your skills in a more frequent manner to keep your energy bar low at the same time after that crit is your second best stat to build a bun most selfish players do run the robust Spirit build but both Engravings are similar in terms of viability so run whatever feels more enjoyable for you to sum it up being a selfish means you need to know the boss mechanics because in case you do miss your bus window upon activation of hype 3 you'll not only lose a lot of damage but you'd also need to wait until you fully recover from pipe zero that should be everything that you need to know to get your journey started or not start don't forget to head on over to our website at
