Presentation of the artilleur
Jurrant only by heavy weapons, very heavy, the gunners use some of the biggest calibers ever designed to calarpate their enemies. Despite reduced mobility, these combatants compensate for their lack of agility by enormous mechanical launchers and other impactful weapons, heavy armor and an incredible destructive force.
Role of the Artiller
In Lost Ark, the artiller is an archetype of the sniper class.
It is a remote DPS class inflicting very heavy zone damage (AOE). You have a huge weapon resembling a missile launches allowing you to shoot flames, missiles, bombs and other deadly projectiles.
It is a relatively easy class to take control of mainly to reduce the destruction bar of some bosses (explanation in the mono-target build)
articulator identity skill
The artiller has a fairly original identity skill. You have some kind of counter that increases whenever you touch enemies. The gauge has three levels to increase your damage by 10%, 20% or 30%.
Once the gauge is maximum, you can activate your “dam” identity competence that literally turns you into motionless turret. In this form, you have four capabilities: a shield and three important sources of damage.
Forces and weaknesses of the artilleur
Strengths :
– Very big damage
– quite resistant for a remote class
– Easy to play
– Useful for bosses with destruction
Weaknesses:
– Very little movable
– No buff for the group
– Some abilities rather long to launch
Artilleur’s skills
Awakening skills of the franc-shooter
Our Recommended Builds on Lost Ark
In Lost Ark you can save up to three talent trees. You can change Build for free at any time in the game (out of combat and when your skills are not in CD). In the lines that will follow we will talk about “Tripod”. If you do not know what it is, do not hesitate to read our guide on the Tripod system of Lost Ark.
Remember that there is no optimal build. We recommend some builds that we believe are efficient, but above all, we advise you to find your own build that will be the most fun for you.
Leveling Build of the Artilleur
The artiller has only two Tripod mobility. It’s one of the few classes we are not going to advise you to go for them. Focus on your destructive damage, especially AOE.
We advise you to mount these capabilities up to Tripod level 10 in this order:
– Flame launcher (level 14)
– Explosion of gravity (level 32)
– Napalm shot (level 10)
– Plasma storm (level 28) you can keep it at level 7 of Tripod
– Air Raid (Level 12)
– Complete bombardment of projectiles (level 40)
Build PVE of the AOE artilier
The artiller has many zone capacities (AOE). Use it in and abuse in chaos dungeons, tower or different quests.
When you collect the monsters, remember to launch your “energy field” to protect yourself during the “gravitational explosion” that leaves you motionless for a few moments.
– Lance Flames: Gros Damage / Brushes
– Air raid: Gros damage
– Gravitational explosion: big damage / super armor / shield
– Bombing of projectiles: Gros damage
– Improved cartridge: Damage
– Napalm shot: against / control
– Energy field: Shield
– Plasma Storm: Damage
Build PVE of the RAID Destruction Artilleur
Despite its many zone capacities, the artiller still has good damage on the bosses, which will be practical in raid especially to destroy the boss destruction bar.
If you are not familiar with this mechanics, some bosses have a destruction bar that can be reduced by certain capabilities. Once the bar is emptied, the boss returns to “shock” for a few seconds and allows you and your group to inflict any damage to the target.
– How to: Destruction
– Napalm shot: against / destruction
– Improved cartridge: Destruction
– Flame launcher: Gros damage
– Turret invocation : Passive damage
– Bombing of projectiles: Damage
– Energy field: Shield
Build PVP of the artilleur
In PVP, your role will be to be the main source of damage for your team. You bring very little utility outside your astronomical damage that can melt the bars of your opponents. Your wide skills will also allow you to zone some opponents a little too virulent.
– Napalm shot: Control
– How to: Control
– Flame launcher: Damage – Zoning
– Swing: Control
– GATLING: ZONING
– Shores of projectiles : Damage
– Air raid: Gros damage
– Energy field: Shield
For your main combo, we recommend:
- Flame launcher or gatling for zoner your opponents
- Stun swing
- Bombing of projectiles, to throw in the stun for more luck to touch
- Howler for Kock Up
- Air raid to finish your opponent
