Shadowhunter is one of Lost Ark’s assassin classes, forgoing the mastery of blades for the power of a demon. Shadowhunters embrace the dark within, lashing out at their opponents with fiery strikes and drowning the weak in shadows. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make the most of your inner darkness.
Shadowhunter Engravings Guide
When it comes time for the Shadowhunter to start using the engravings system, she’s met with a dramatic and gameplay-changing choice. Shadowhunter’s two class-specific engravings are Demonic Impulse and Perfect Suppression, two choices that both affect the Shadowhunter’s power in very different ways.
But how do these choices affect the Shadowhunter?
- Perfect Suppression – Lv. 3: Normal Skill Damage +30%. Shadowburst Meter +50% for all skills. Disables Demonize.
- Demonic Impulse – Lv. 3: The Composure effect does not activate when Demonize ends. Upon Demonize, Demonic Skill Cooldown is reset, and Crit Rate +30% while Demonic Mode is active.
To put it in the most dramatic fashion, Shadowhunters have to choose to suppress their inner demon or embrace it. This is a really cool thematic choice for the Shadowhunter, and both options are pretty viable build-wise. The choice to embrace your inner demon or suppress it is up to you, but whatever choice you make, here’s the engravings you need to make the most of it.
These lists aren’t complete. They leave room for one or two flexible engraving picks of your choice. However, the listed engravings are priority, and should be taken before anything you add.
