Lost Ark: The Best Gunlancer Leveling Build

Gunlancer is one of the Advanced Classes available for Warrior. Armed with an exploding lance and a shield, Gunlancer is a DPS-Support hybrid; the Support comes from giving enemies status ailments and creating barriers to protect themselves and teammates from statuses instead of healing like Bard and Paladin. Its unique position makes Gunlancer be one of the most versatile Classes in both PvE and PvP. Here are the Skills for each level you should prioritize for your Gunlancer build in Lost Ark.

Gunlancer Leveling Build in Lost Ark

At early levels, your options are only these four basic Skills (most people refer to them as Fillers):

• Sharp Gunlance.
• Rising Gunlance.
• Fire Bullet.
• And Shield Shock.

Sharp Gunlance is good to add extra range for your poke combos, but prioritizing Rising Gunlance is a must. Since Rising Gunlance can throw mobs into the air for follow-ups and has the Thunderstroke Tripod that can paralyze both normal enemies and bosses, other than that, focus on reducing your Skills’ cooldowns. YouTuber Chaoslayer has also made a good video explaining the basics of how Gunlancer Skills works. Check their video below if you need one or two tips to get started.
