One of the less commonly picked specialists in the ranged Gunner class is the Sharpshooter. The Sharpshooter, also known as the Hawkeye, is a bow-wielder with meter generating abilities that utilize mechanical bows with special arrows and effects. The class boasts high survivability and agility to keep them in the fight, with a skill set that makes them great for exploiting boss weaknesses.
Sharpshooters can summon a hawk that can be used to attack enemies and lower meter exhaustion. You can sacrifice the hawk and meter on an uber-powerful attack. The Sharpshooter class has two exclusive engravings: Death Strike and Loyal Companion. In this guide below, we’ll list all of the Lost Ark Sharpshooter Engravings, with recommended Engraving options for the Death Strike and Loyal Companion combination.
Lost Ark Sharpshooter Engravings
Like every class in Lost Ark, two exclusive Engravings are available for the Sharpshooter. 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 this class, we’ll be taking a look at one all-around good path for utilizing both Death Strike and Loyal Companion.

- Death Strike
- Loyal Companion
- Hit Master
- Keen Blunt Weapon

- Cursed Doll
According to the leaderboard rankings in other regions. many Lost Ark Sharpshooter builds are utilizing either Death Strike by itself at level three, or a combination of Death Strike and Second Companion both at level three. There are a couple of players in the mix that run with only Loyal Companion, but it is limited. Whatever path you choose, you can make use of our recommended Engravings list above to build out powerful synergies.
No matter your choice, the main stats you will want to focus on is Crit and Swift. Some players also put in some Specialty to build meters more quickly, but that’s not as common as the focus on two stats. Note that Death Strike users will be weaving in melee attacks in addition to their range skills to get the most damage. You will also want to burn your meter quickly for the damage boost, before going back to melee range and building the meter back up.
