Lost Ark has a wide variety of builds because every class has many subclasses and each of them has builds for different situations. For example, you can find levelling builds, raiding builds, PvP builds, etc. In this post, we will describe one of the most popular Lost Ark Arcanist Raid build.
Infusing special cards with her Magick, The Arcanist leverages her deck to inflict the most damage to her enemies. From slicing up enemies to summoning powerful attacks, she’s always prepared. But sometimes, she prefers to leave things to fate with her specialty skill “Card Deck”. As an advanced class under the Mage, the Arcanist is great at supporting the team with her single and multi-target skills. In the right column, you can see the list of links that will help you quickly navigate through the Lost Ark Arcanist Build.

Engravings
Engravings in Lost Ark are special effects that can be found on Accessories and Ability Stones. There are Normal Engravings and Negative Engravings. These effects modify certain abilities or characteristics of a character such as improving Ambush Damage, Max MP or in the case of Negative Engravings, reducing your Attack Speed. There are also Class Engravings which modify Class-specific abilities and traits and in some cases, drastically change the way a Class plays.
