Gunlancer is a Warrior Advanced Class in Lost Ark. Gunlancers are the most defensive Warrior Class specialization. They stand out for their remarkable ability to absorb massive amounts of damage, making them the perfect first line of defense for any team. The great defense they have comes at a cost in mobility, as they are the slowest Warriors.
As the first line of defense, gunlancers take the brunt of enemy attacks with their defensive stance and battlefield shield to keep the rest of their party safe. While their gun lance is a formidable weapon, their true value derives from their ability to protect allies and absorb damage like a sponge.
