The Artillerist is a Gunner subclass, and it makes use of heavy weaponry to blast foes into smithereens. While they are not very mobile classes, they make up for the slow movement speed more than tenfold with damage. Using huge mechanical launchers combined with an outfit of heavy armor, they are both a tanky and destructive class that is incredibly fun to play.
Artillerists build up their meter by dealing damage with their weapon by adding a Firepower buff. The buff increases overall damage by a percentage, depending on the level of the buff. Since most of the class’s damage is delayed, it can sometimes be tough to hit enemies that move around a lot. Below, we’ll list all of the Lost Ark Artillerist engravings, both exclusive and recommended options.
Lost Ark Artillerist Engravings
Like every class in Lost Ark, two exclusive Engravings are available for the Artillerist. Players are not limited to those two only, and there are dozens of other engravings available to boost your stats and compliment your playstyle. These are listed in priority of how you should get them. As you level and unlock more engravings, you can go down the list and add the others. For the Artillerist, we’ll be focusing on building Engravings around Firepower. If you want to pick up Barrage Enhancement, you can do so and keep it at level one.
Artillerist Exclusive Engravings
- Firepower – Incoming damage decrease. Crit Rate increase depending on the level of the Firepower buff.
- Barrage Enhancement – Barrage skill damage increase. If you have no Firepower Buff, Firepower Meter increased. Once the Firepower Meter recharges, removes the cooling effect.
Recommended Artillerist Engravings for Firepower
- Firepower – Incoming damage decrease. Crit Rate increase depending on the level of the Firepower buff.
- Adrenaline – After using skills, Attack Power increases and stacks up to six times. At max stacks, Crit Rate increases.
- Keen Blunt Weapon – Crit Damage increases but your attacks have a chance to deal 20% less damage.
- Hit Master – Damage increase for attacks other than Back Attack and Frontal Attack. Does not apply to Awakenings.
- Barricade – Increased damage to foes while shielders.
- Grudge – Damage increases to Boss or above monsters. Incoming damage also increases.
- Cursed Doll – Attack Power increases. Healing decreases, except for natural recovery.
A majority of players will generally be using the Firepower enhancement Engraving, taking it all the way up to level three. Some players like to use it with Barrage Enhancement to use both class-exclusive Engravings. However, that is a playstyle of less than half of the top players in Lost Ark. In terms of stat priority for the Firepower Artillerist, you will want to focus on Crit and Swift.
