Engravings
Engravings play a vital role in building any class in Lost Ark. Every character gets two Class Engravings and various general ones. To make the most out of Engravings, we suggest leveling up your character to level 50 to unlock the Awakening Skills. The two Engravings for Striker are:
- Esoteric Flurry: Striker reduces the cost of all spender skills to one Esoteric Orb and increases Esoteric Skill damage.
- Death Blow: Striker increases your maximum number of Esoteric Orbs to 4. Using an Esoteric Skill will spend ALL available Orbs, and deal bonus damage based on the number of Orbs consumed.
For general Engravings, you can choose pretty much whatever suits your playstyle best. However, we found these to work pretty well with the current meta:
- Master of Ambush: It increases Back Attack damage.
- Spirit Absorption: Provides attack and movement speed boosts with no debuffs.
- Keen Blunt Weapon: It increases critical damage but has a slight chance to reduce non-critical damage.
- Grudge: It increases damage output but also increases damage taken.
Awakening Skills
Each class has two Awakening Skills that they can use to defeat their enemies. These skills are extremely powerful as they are endgame abilities that are considered as an “ultimate” attack. While you are given two options to choose from, you can only equip one at a time. The Awakening Skills for Striker are:
- Nova Blast is a series of advancing strikes that deal enormous damage. The attack cancels if the first strike misses.
- True Heavenly Awakening kicks twice in an arc, dealing massive damage and launching enemies up into the air.
Both of these abilities are amazing and have their own benefits and downsides. True Heavenly Awakening is faster to use and deals good damage. Whereas, Nova Blast deals tons of stagger damage. While the swiftness of True Heavenly Awakening is nice, it is better to have a staggering ability. Most endgame bosses have a massive area of effect attacks that can kill your entire team. Staggering at the right time will prove beneficial.
That’s everything you need to know about the Lost Ark Striker PvP meta build. There are other builds that you can try but this one is in the meta right now. We would love to know which build you are using and which class is your favorite.
