Raid/PvE Loyal Companion Sharpshooter : Sharpshooter Build Guide

Build Details & Information

PLEASE NOTE THAT SHARPSHOOTER IS GETTING BIG BALANCE CHANGES AND BOTH ENGRAVINGS ARE GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY ARE TODAY

Hello! I am Brother Chris and I have been playing Lost Ark since its western release in February 2022. This is meant to be an introductory guide to quickly get you up to speed for a raid/pve Loyal Companion Sharpshooter.

Class Introduction

---

Loyal Companion Sharpshooter is a swiftness primary class so by nature of that can be very spammy. It's identity skill is a silverhawk that you build meter to activate, it attacks enemies and has abilities you spam while it is active for increased damage. Sharpshooter is a mix of range and melee combat as some of your best meter generation is from melee skills.

Pros Unique playstyle Fast movement

Cons Low defense, squishy

Rotation

---

Loyal Companion is mostly a priority system where you apply your damage debuff via Atomic Arrow and then use your highest damaging skills that are off cooldown. Your most damaging skill is going to be Snipe and you should always prioritize that first - second being Charged Shot. Arrow Wave Sharp Shooter are relatively similar. Arrow Shower prioritized last. MAKE SURE TO ALSO GET DAMAGE AND COOLDOWN GEMS FOR SILVERHAWK.

An optimal start of fight rotation would look something like this.

1. Fenrir's Messenger
2. Summon Silverhawk
3. Atomic Arrow
4. Snipe
5. Charged Shot
6. Arrow Wave
7. Sharp Shooter
8. Arrow Shower

Something to also note Fenrir's Messenger your awakening will fill your silverhawk meter to help you maintain uptime on silverhawk. You should try to have silverhawk up as much as possible and always be spamming Wings of Storm (Z ability) for the added damage.

Engravings

---

The engravings listed are what is considered meta for Loyal Companion

Engraving priority would be something like Loyal Companion > Grudge > Keen Blunt Weapon > Raid Captain > Hit Master

you can swap Hit Master for Cursed Doll if you like though it is generally not worth it in my opinion.

Stats

---

Loyal Companion Sharpshooter wants one thing and one thing only, that is swiftness. You want all the swiftness. Crit secondary for necklace/bracelet.

Swiftness: 1600
Crit: 550

this is with relic accessories and a bracelet and all potions unlocked from horizontal content.

Relic Set

---

Loyal Companion uses Hallucination set as this helps with our crit rate and also provides us some nice damage.

Tripods

---

The most important tripods are going to be your damage ability focused tripods - you want to prioritize Snipe and Charged Shot tripods as these will boost your damage the most.

Skills

---

You can replace any of these if you so desire Arrow Shower Deadly Slash Moving Slash.

Some common swap ins include Blade Storm for meter gen and Claymore Mine or DM-42 for weak point

Card Sets

---

The go to is always Light of Salvation at 18 awakening or more as it provides the most damage increase.

If you don't have los18+ you can always use Field Boss II or Lostwind Cliff as filler.
