If you’re a fan of Iron Man and a player of Lost Ark, then the high-tech weapon user Machinist is perfect for you. But just like any marksman-type character in any MMORPG, the Machinist is, while strong, also squishy. It may sound very daunting to use a Machinist if you’re a beginner in Lost Ark, but you don’t need to worry. The right Machinist build can help resolve that.
What’s the Best Machinist Build in Lost Ark?
There are two Machinist builds in Lost Ark: the Evolutionary Legacy build and the Arthetinean Skill build. It mainly depends on what class engraving you want to focus on. The Evolutionary Legacy build focuses on using your Air Strike more constantly to fill your Identity Gauge quickly for Hypersync.
In contrast, the Arthetinean Skill focuses on boosting your Drone and Joint Skills damage. You don’t rely much on the Hypersync transformation for the latter and do most of the damage through your weapons and skills.
Here’s our recommended build based on what Class Engraving you prefer:
