Introduction
When playing Lost Ark, there will several classes that you’ll have the option to choose. Some are easier while others are much harder to shine and perform well in.
Each class will involve different skills and knowledge of the game and so it will be helpful to ensure you have a good understanding of how to play Lost Ark, especially when you play in one of the harder classes.
To make the most out of your game, the class you choose and the success you can have in it can make a difference.
Easiest Classes
Berserker
Berserker is one class within the Warrior profession. It’s much easier to survive with this one than with other ones. While classes in Warrior tend to be slower when it comes to aspects of play such as attack and speed because of being heavy, this can help them better when it comes to surviving.
Berserker is a little faster than other classes in Warrior. You’ll have a fun time playing as they generally perform well across all the game’s different aspects and playing options.
There are a few great skills involved with this class that you can use, such as spinning charge and a gauge that you can build through attacks and allow your Berserker to become stronger. Power and speed improve with this innate skill. It’s the easiest class within the game and much less difficult when compared to others to get the hang of.
Awakening skills are easy to use and come in handy. When playing PvP, Berserker is one of the top 10 best classes available in the Warrior profession.
All you have to do is press a single button and your Berserker charges and attacks, enabling you to cause a lot of harm to your opponents.
Another awakening skill allows you to charge and move around simultaneously, lasts longer, is powerful, and is fairly easy to activate. When in beginner mode, this Berserker’s skill will be beneficial.
Destroyer
The Destroyer class is also one that’s within the Warrior profession. Its advantage is that while it’s heavy and slow, it has a strong defensive side. However, it’s also a little slower than the Berserker, making this class slightly more difficult to control and play. Thi
More shielding is available here than with Berserker which is one of two ways to improve your ability for survival when playing Lost Ark and will keep the Destroyer safe.
Destroyer’s skills are easy to action, such as blue skills which they can use to build upon their purple skills and make them stronger. In PVP mode, they rank at the top of their class in the game. This makes them a very popular option for players to choose.
It’s a great option for beginners as it’s easy to play and you won’t make many mistakes. The destruction skill allows you to obtain a good level of success when playing this class in Lost Ark.
Just like with Berserker, Destroyer can benefit from innate skills such as a gauge to increase power. In PvP, you have one particular skill that can come in useful where you’ll have a hammer to use against your opponents and make them come to a stop, which will make it easier to attack them.
Hardest Classes
Supportive classes are harder in general as the moves require faster and more difficult button play, lots of combat fighting tactics to remember, and PvP position is needed to succeed with these classes.
Paladin
Although Bard is a fairly hard class to play, Paladin is even harder since it involves having to place more telegraphs in certain areas.
Understanding the mechanics: where your player is positioned, where they need to go, catching the opposition, are all difficult tasks that you’ll need to navigate well. As part of the Warrior profession, your player will be heavy (more so than with the Berserker which is easier).
You’ll be standing idle more than with other classes like Berserker or Bard as a support. You have to be smart here when using your cooldowns as you’ll want to make sure you don’t waste them when you don’t need them. Save your HP for the right times.
With Paladin, you can’t allow your player to make any mistakes if you want them to succeed. To stay at the top level and gain the best experience while playing Lost Ark with this class, make sure your player has more pots and gold to use rather than spending them all. Always remains a team player too.
Gunlancer
The Gunlancer is part of the tank class. These classes are typically more difficult to play as they require a greater level of responsibility. While the class is simple in understanding the available actions, the Warlord needs a quicker reaction time and excellent decision making ability to perform well.
As well as support, there are high expectations for the Gunlancer to harm opponents. This added pressure makes the game ever more challenging.
Taunting the opposition to protect your team is also needed, making the tasks involved more various and difficult than with the Holy Knight or Bard class. One downside though is that it can’t use telegraphs like the Holy Knight can.
Still when you’re confident that you understand and have control over all the defensive means available to the Gunlancer, you must master how to cause damage to succeed.
You can only move back while other classes can charge towards their opponents, making it harder when playing this one. So learning DPS will come in very helpful here.
