Looking for the best Gunner builds in Lost Ark? Here are all the skills you’ll need to dominate the battlefield in both PvE and PvP with this super-powered Sniper.
Choosing a class in Lost Ark is above all a matter of preference. With 15 different specializations available at the launch of the game, you should normally find what you are looking for.
If ranged, high-firing gunplay is your thing, then the Sniper archetype is for you. Among the four specializations available, in this guide we are going to look at the Gunner: a character who is certainly slow, but who compensates for his lack of mobility with remarkable tanking and colossal damage.
Looking to optimize your Gunner with the best build? Whether you’re into PvE, PvP, or even both, here are some great builds to guide you.

Artilleryman, Fusilier, Maverick or Implacable Salvo?
Make no mistake about it, all Marksman specializations are capable of inflicting impressive ranged damage, although there are major differences in their gameplay.
Both the Fusilier and the Sniper rely on a substantial arsenal and good mobility that allows them to inflict heavy damage while staying out of harm’s way. Relentless Blast is aimed primarily at players who prefer gunpowder arrows, with gameplay focused on a mix of ranged and melee, and great survival tools.
Finally, the Gunner is undoubtedly the Sniper that stands out the most for its gameplay. Indeed, each of the powerful area of effect abilities of this specialization is particularly slow, which makes it much more vulnerable than its comrades. To compensate, he is therefore equipped with heavy armor and a shield mechanism that allows him to benefit from very good tanking.
If you dream of unleashing overpowering attacks with flame throwers, aerial strikes and other lasers, the Gunner is for you.
