There are five main classes in Lost Ark: warrior, martial artist, gunner, mage, and assassin. But all of them have from two to five sub-classes. Each sub-class has specified abilities that define a playstyle that fits this sub-class of the Lost Ark class. To pick a class you need to find out more about it and its subclasses to choose the best Lost Ark to build. You will find the Lost Ark Martial Artist class description from the official website in this post.
