These builds were created around each Class, and features guides and explanations for which Stats and Engravings are meta, and which Skills should be used in which situations.
Lost Ark Scrapper Build Guide
Scrappers aren't as mobile compared to Strikers and Wardancers but they make up for it by dealing big hits with their punches as a result of wielding Heavy Gauntlets. What makes the Scrapper unique is that they don't have to manage Mana. Instead, they need to find the right balance for their Chi, which comprises yellow and green skills, to effectively inflict heavy damage. This is done by alternately activating either skills in a certain order. In spite of it, Scrappers are recommended for new players because of how simple they are to learn.

Lost Ark Scrapper Raid Build Guide
The Scrapper Raid Build is an end-game Lost Ark Scrapper Build Guide. Raid Builds are geared towards dealing massive damage to a single target and supporting party members. This Lost Ark Scrapper Raid Build Guide features the the playstyles offered by different engravings, what accessory stats to look for, and a list of recommended skills to take.
The Scrapper plays a DPS-oriented role in raids. Depending on the class engraving players choose, Scrappers can be either be great burst damage dealers or have nice sustained damage. Either way, they are excellent at dealing with raid mechanics, with many of their main skills doing good stagger and part break, and their counter skill doing good damage. Players should, however, be aware of their long animation locks and position themselves well.
Pick your Scrapper Engravings & Stats
Your playstyle can differ based on which class engravings you take:
Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu
The Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu playstyle is a fast-paced, fluid one that focus on Stamina skills (yellow skills). This class engraving boosts the damage of Stamina skills and speeds up Stamina bar (the yellow identity gauge) recovery, but reduces the damage of Shock skills (green skills). As such, most skills on your skill bar should be Stamina skills to maximize your damage.
As with other DPS classes, Scrappers should look to equip accessories that increases their Crit stat to increase their damage potential. Specialty only augments Shock skills, and since those aren't the main focus of this engraving, we're taking Swiftness instead for the increased attack speed and cooldown reduction.
Shock Training
The Shock Training playstyle focuses on the high burst damage of Shock skills (green skills). This class engraving boosts the damage of Shock skills and adds extra Shock bar (the green identity gauge) recovery every tick. As this engraving doesn't lower the damage of Stamina skills (yellow skills), you can maintain a relatively similar number of Shock and Stamina skills on your skill bar to manage your identity gauges better.
We're taking Specialty with this engraving to boost both the damage of shock skills as well as Shock bar gain. Crit is taken as well to maximize damage potential.
Besides class engravings, players should also consider gearing and levelling up these engravings:
Grudge
An engraving that you'll see most, if not all DPS classes using. Provides one of the highest damage boosts of all engravings at the cost of increased damage taken. Other options are available to take instead or to stack with this engraving (e.g. Cursed Doll). Only take this engraving if you can afford to take it to level 3.
Master of Ambush
Increases damage for each back attack that hits the enemy. Has great synergy with this build as most key skills are back attacks.
Adrenaline
Increases crit rate at max stacks. Since Scrappers do not have access to many (if any) crit rate buffs, this engraving can help maximize damage, especially since it's easy to stack with the class' quick and low-cooldown skills.
Spirit Absorption
Increases player attack and movement speed. Helps Scrappers with to quicken casting times to shorten long animation locks, and provides a good mobility boost.
Keen Blunt Weapon
While a good damage boost, this engraving should only be run if you have a high enough crit chance to crit consistently and can take this engraving to level 3.
Scrapper Build Skills
These are the recommended skills to take when running a Scrapper in raids. Mouse-over the skill names to see what they do.
Key Skills for a Raid Scrapper Build in Lost Ark
Charging Blow is a movement skill that provides Scrappers with an attack buff. Movement skills are important in raid settings to avoid taking damage and reposition quickly. Only the first tripod is required for this skill. Ready Attack gives you an attack damage buff when you hit the boss with this skill. If you have extra skill points remaining, you can invest into these next two tripods for higher damage from this skill. We mainly take Stone Fist here for the larger hitbox, to make buffing ourselves more consistent. Finally, Death Band increases the casting speed of this skill, as well as boosts it's damage against push-immune foes (i.e. raid bosses).
Death Rattle deals massive damage no matter what build you're going for and best of all, it does good stagger and part break damage. When picking this skill up, you'll want to invest into all three tripods for this skill. Quick Preparation lowers the cooldown of this skill, allowing you to use it more often in fights. The next tripod, Single Hit, increases this skill's damage whenever you hit only one enemy, which is the case almost all the time in raids. Finally, Shock Explosion provides the skill bonus damage that scales on how filled up the Shock bar is.
Other Skills for your Taijustsu Scrapper Endgame Build
Dragon Advent is another good stagger skill that has good damage and allows you to stick close to the boss. While the tripods on this skill are not as important as those of other skills, having more tripods gives this skill more damage. The first tripod, Moment of Truth, increases the skill's damage output in exchange for consuming more Stamina. Tenacity is the safer option for the next tripod as it makes you uninterruptible while casting the skill. If this is not an issue for you, you can take Conflagration Attack instead, which adds DoT damage after the skill ends. Finally, Great Destruction significantly boosts the skill's damage when hitting only one enemy.
Iron Cannon Blow is a heavy-hitting skill that does decent stagger. All 3 tripods are required for this skill. Overflowing Power increases the damage of the final hit of the skill and Quick Preparation lowers the cooldown of the skill. Finally, Advance Enhancement provides a lot of buffs to the skill, giving it increased move distance to help you close the gap between you and the boss, more attack speed to quicken the casting time of the skill, and a massive damage boost against push-immune enemies.
Instant Hit is a quick skill that can be used to counter and deals good damage. All three tripods should be invested in when taking this skill. Wide Hit increases the hitbox of the skill, allowing you to counter more consistently. If this is not an issue, you can take Stamina Control instead to lower the Stamina consumption of this skill. Counter Effect provides the skill with an insane boost to damage in exchange for removing the stun effect of the skill, which we do not need in raid scenarios. Finally, Tracking Instinct adds a dash before the attack, allowing the skill to be another gap closer in your arsenal.
Battering Fists is another high damage skill that also provides some stagger and part break damage. All three tripods are required to maximize the damage of this skill. The first tripod, Capture Opportunity, increases the damage of the last hit of the skill. Red Explosion increases the damage of the second part of the attack against push-immune enemies. Finally, Berserk significantly boosts the damage of the skill.
Continuous Push is a good damage skill with some defensive utility as it allows you to move slowly while attack and provides damage reduction as you hit the enemy. All three tripods are required for this skill. Vital Point Hit increases the crit rate of the skill and Moment of Truth gives a damage boost in exchange for increased Stamina consumption. Finally, Violent Advance quickens the casting time of the skill, adds extra hits to it, and increases it's overall damage.
Judgment is a low cooldown skill that can apply a debuff on the boss with 100% uptime. Since we're only taking this skill for the debuff, only the first tripod is required. Amplified Damage allows the skill to inflict a debuff on the boss that increases their damage taken by all party members. Since the length of the buff is longer than the cooldown of this skill, it's qiute easy to keep the debuff on the boss for the whole fight.
Roundup Sweep is another counter skill that deals a lot of damage. If you think you have too many Shock skills for this build, Roundup Sweep can replace Death Rattle if counter skills are a priority in the boss fight. You should invest in all 3 tripods to maximize damage. Swift Preparation gives the skill a chance to reset it's cooldown if it crits on hit, allowing it to be off-cooldown often with high crit rate. Madman provides additional damage to the skill and Reinforced Hit increases the skill's damage without increasing the required charge time.
One of two Awakening Skills that Scrappers can choose from. The safer of the two, Undefeated Dragon King is a skill that does massive amounts of damage on top of having a quicker casting time than it's counterpart and can be casted from range.
One of two Awakening Skills that Scrappers can choose from. Blast of Ruination deals more damage than it's counterpart and should be taken if you're comfortable with casting skills in melee range of the boss.
