Artillerist Strengths and Weaknesses

When there may be strengths to the Artillerist class, it’s impossible to think that such a hard-hitting combat class has any weaknesses. So let’s take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of Artillerist in Lost Ark.

Artillerist Engravings

Every class in Lost Ark consists of their own Engravings that lay out class abilities to master. Like every other class, Artillerist also possesses its own Engraving: Firepower Enhancement and Barrage.

Firepower Enhancement

Firepower Enhancement is heavily focused on PvE leveling and, with its massive increase in Critical rate, also deals an amazing amount of damage during your burst window.

This particular engraving provides this class with a 30% damage reduction with a 25-35% increase in Critical Rate.

Barrage

Barrage is mainly focused on enhancing your Identity Skills. This Engraving isn’t best suitable for Artillerist since this class is mostly used for heavy assault and isn’t used to being unprotected during combat.

Barrage provides a cooldown reset to all Barrage Skills upon killing an opponent, increasing an additional 2% skill damage.
