The Gunslinger is one of the strongest but most fun classes in Lost Ark because of its mobility. In this guide, we reveal which skills she has, how you should level them up, and which builds are useful in the endgame.
What class is this? The Sniper is the only playable version of the base Gunner class and is most comfortable in ranged combat. She is quite mobile and has some useful AoE attacks.
Thanks to her special ability, she can switch between three sets of weapons: the rifle, the shotgun, or two pistols. This results in you having access to 16 skills in combat. In other classes, it is usually only between 8 and 12.
Due to the constant change of weapon, the class is also a bit more demanding in its rotation than some other classes.
Pro
- Has access to 16 skills
- Is very mobile
- Has a very high damage potential
- One of the most fun classes in the game
Con
- The art shooter has very little life points
- The many skills make them difficult to master
What game content is the art shooter useful for? The art shooter is - well played - a DDler in the S tier. However, due to her abilities, she falls down faster and has to be mastered first.
In PvP, it is a light breakfast for almost all classes, especially in the low-level area. However, the better you master the art shooter, the harder it is to counter her. In high-rank PvP, she is therefore an A-tier.

The art shooter in the leveling process
What is the most effective way to play Art Archer at the beginning? In the beginning, it helps if you invest heavily in mobility and AoE damage. You can do this by skilling Quick Step, Somersault, and Rapid Fire in the shotgun.
Also, level up the Perfect Shot skill to deal that much damage to a single target (dungeon bosses).
In the equipment you make sure that you collect and apply the values crit and specialization. These increase your damage enormously.
How should I allocate my first skill points?
- Up to level 12 you should allocate 4 points to the Fast Step skill with the Excellent Agility bonus and again 4 points to the Somersault Shot skill with the Agile Agility upgrade.
- Up to level 22 you invest all 48 points in the Balance skill. There you activate the bonuses Exposed Vulnerability, Assault on the Enemy and Nerve Shot.
- Up to level 26, you increase Perfect Shot skill by 20 points and uses Steady Heal and Kill Confirmation.
- At level 31 you then invest 20 skill points in Deathfire and skill Eager Slash and Flame Bomb there.
- Up to level 35, invest more points (48 total) in Deathfire to unlock the third perk, Infinite Annihilation. You also invest the first 20 points in Focused Shot with Quick Aims and Double Shot.
- Up to level 40, you invest more points to activate the third bonus (48 points) of Focused Shot, Final Strike. You should also invest 4 points for sniper in ranged combat.
- Up to level 48, your Marksman increases to 48 points and unlocks Omnidirectional Fire and Sentinel's Breath. You also put 4 points into Peacemaker with Excellent Agility.
- Then, at level 50, invest 48 points in Ground Aim, your newest ability.
In the end, your distribution will look like this:
- Level 4 and 4 points in fast step
- Level 4 and 4 points in somersault
- Level 10 and 48 points in balance
- Level 10 and 48 points in Deathfire
- Level 4 and 4 points in Peacemaker.
- Level 10 and 48 points in sniper
- Level 10 and 48 points in Focused Shot
- Level 10 and 48 points in Ground Aim
The art shooter in the endgame
In the endgame, Artistic Archer can be played with different builds and a focus on different weapons. Although you will have to constantly rotate through the weapons, the focus can be shifted according to your wishes.
The DD in Raids: A build that focuses on the rifle and shotgun is currently popular in raids. Your damage there comes from the Perfect Shot, Focused Shot, and Ground Aim abilities.
The focus of this build is the Crit attribute. In keeping with this, you land crit debuffs on enemies with the pistol.
This build has long range and high damage, but little defense and a high skill cap. You can find the complete guide on Maxroll ( via maxroll.gg ).
The DD in dungeons: In chaos and cube dungeons, it makes sense to focus more on AoE. That's why the skills of the pistol are more in focus here. Damage comes primarily from Balance, Bullet Rain, Deadfire, and Shotgun Sniper.
This build is a bit easier to play than the rifle build from the raids. There is a more detailed explanation at maxroll ( via maxroll.gg ).
The Sniper in PvP: In both 1v1 and 3v3, the Sniper is played with a mixed build. The focus here is above all high mobility through quick step and somersault shot. In addition, value is placed on CC, for example through points in Disaster and Focused Shot.
However, the art shooter is very demanding in PvP because you have to actively avoid incoming damage and enemies. You have a lot of damage, but little defense.
You can find the complete build at Maxroll ( via maxroll.gg ).
