In this guide, we will walk you through all the information you need to know about the Shadowhunter Leveling in Lost Ark including the skills and combos.
Lost Ark Shadowhunter Leveling
Shadowhunter in Lost Ark has Demonize Identity with high mobility and low cooldowns. Shadowhunter is an assassin class that uses dual-bladed tonfas to attack and one of the game’s few transformation classes that further increases her mobility and damage. Shadowhunter’s skills have a tiny Area of Effect (AoE).
Shadowhunter has the ability to shapeshift into numerous demonic forms in order to inflict havoc and power on their foes. When they release their inner devil, they are noted for possessing tremendously devastating powers, greater health, and improved movement speed.
Focus on equipping the highest Item Level gear while emphasizing the Crit and Swiftness Combat Stats to boost your damage and clear speed during the leveling process. With a few exceptions, focus on Main Story Quest to level swiftly.

Lost Ark Shadowhunter Leveling Tips
Because you won’t have many skill points early in the game, it’s ideal to spread them out evenly among all skills until you reach level 20, when you’ll be able to fully max out one. If you see the word ‘filler,’ it means that you may do whatever you want with your skill points.
At level 50, this strategy only utilizes 252 skill points, so it doesn’t account for the extra skill points you gain from side missions. If you complete some side missions along the road, you may have more skill points than the instructions advises.
Allocate Skill Points to gain Tripods for your most powerful Skills. Once you have your desired Tripods, use the leftover points on secondary skills but don’t forget to use those points on main skills when the need arises.
