Builds | Lost Ark Wiki

The Best Builds in Lost Ark focus on optimizing Character Creation with the intention of min/maxing, knowing exactly how many Levels each Build can take, and how many Levels of each Class are needed (in the case of Multiclassing).

Trial and error is needed to achieve this in many cases, since enemy composition plays a role in what Weapons and Skills are more useful than others. Tailoring Builds to the exact things you'll be facing in Lost Ark is a huge part of what makes specific Builds better than ones you might find in regular RPG. If you're looking for the Best Builds in Lost Ark, you can choose from any of the following.
