Lost Ark: All Classes Guide

Lost Ark is an online multiplayer and role-playing game. You’ll play this game by selecting a character from a class. There is a total of 5 classes in Lost Ark and each of the classes has its own subclasses from which you choose the character you want to play.

The first thing you’re going to see when you boot up Lost Ark is to choose a class from the five different classes that each have their own set of individual subclasses. We know it’s a bit difficult edition where you agonize over this decision but we are here to tell you about every class and their subclasses from which you can choose who you liked the most.

Classes in Lost Ark

There is a total of 5 classes in Lost Ark from which you want to choose your playstyle and character.

• Warrior
• Martial Artist
• Gunner
• Mage
• Assassin

Warrior Class

If you prefer big brutes with big weapons and you just like to smash enemies with those weapons then warrior is your type to go with. Warrior has three subclasses in it from which you can choose your play style and character.

Berserker

Berserker is a character who specializes in AoE attacks and whose identity ability involves some classic berserker rage. If you want to smash things then berserker is a ton of fun although his defense may be the lowest.

Gunlancer

Gunlancer is a tanky boy who can create a shield that can defend your team. If you are going to be playing with a team of other players then Gunlancer will be good for tanking.

Paladin

Paladin is more of a support class who can buff and heal the team although he likely does the least damage among the three warriors. Paladin will be a go-to support class when playing with other lost ark players.

Martial Artist Class

Martial Artist class is all about getting close to enemies and punching right in their faces. If you prefer close combat with the enemies then the martial artist is your type to go with. This class has four subclasses that you can choose your character and play style from.

Wardancer

Wardancer is a fantastic choice for new players due to her high mobility and low mobility cooldowns although she is a bit lacking when it comes to long-range attacks or AoE attacks.

Scrapper

The Scrapper is a little slower and has longer attack animations but hits harder and a bit tankier as well.

SoulFist

The Soul Fist has more ranged attacks and can act as alternative support alongside a paladin or bard and they’re a good choice if you want to get into a PvP part of this game.

Striker

The Striker class is only available when you play as a male martial artist and it’s a good all-round class with its decent mobility and low cooldowns although it can be a bit tricky to get hold of it.

All of the Martial Artist subclasses are pretty useful and it really depends on whether you’re focusing on PvE or PvP. Personally, I would recommend going with Wardancer because she can turn into a tornado.

Gunner Class

The Gunner class is opposite to the Martial Artist class in which you keep a distance from your enemies while taking advantage of their advanced technology. This class has four subclasses in it.

Gunslinger

Gunslinger is very similar to the Deadeye of this class but the key difference is that the Gunslinger is a subclass locked to lady gunners. They both get to use a pistol, a shotgun, and a rifle. They have high mobility and they can do some major damage.

Sharpshooter

Sharpshooter is essentially the archer class that has some stealth abilities, it’s a pretty versatile class although you better land your shots.

Artillerist

If you just want to blow stuff up then this is your class, he has a big gun that has plenty of powerful AoE attacks although he is a tad slower than all the gunner subclasses.

Deadeye

Deadeye is similar to the gunslinger, he has a pistol, a shotgun, and a rifle with high mobility to cause great damage to enemies.

Mage Class

Mage is all about magic and you get to choose from its two subclasses. If you like magic then you can go with this class.

Bard

The Bard is one of the best options for support class other than the paladin. She’s got a magic harp that can buff and heal teammates and she’s got some decent spells that could do a bit of damage.

Sorceress

The Sorceress is a go-to magic-user with tons of high damage spells although she’s unsurprisingly very squishy. If you want to blast enemies with magic then definitely sorceress is your type to go with.

Assassin Class

Assassin is all about backstabbing and front stabbing with some dark powers and if you like assassins then you can go with one of the subclasses from the assassin class. It has two subclasses.

Shadowhunter

Shadowhunter has double blades which are proficient in melee and long-range attacks. It’s a well-balanced class with solid damage and mobility.

Deathblade

Deathblade is much cooler than shadowhunter which does heavy damage and has high mobility but also has long cooldowns on their abilities.

Assassins are good for PvE but with their high damage output, this is likely the best class if you’re thinking about getting involved in the PvP of this game.

That’ll be the all classes of Lost Ark and we hope you found it informative about which class you want to go within the game for PvE or PvP.
