Striker Engraving Guide

Striker is one of the classes available to to the Martial Artist archetype in Lost Ark. Strikers are hard-hitting warriors, inspired by the shame of defeat into becoming powerful martial artists. In this guide we’ll show you the best engravings build for your Striker.

Striker Engravings Guide

Just like every other class in Lost Ark, Striker comes with two unique class-specific engravings that determine the way the class is played. These engravings are Esoteric Flurry and Deathblow. Both of these engravings revolve around the Striker’s esoteric orbs system.

So what do these engravings do?

  • Esoteric Flurry – Lv. 3: Only 1 Esoteric Orb is used when using Esoteric Skill, and Esoteric Skill Damage +18%.
  • Deathblow – Lv. 3: Max number of Esoteric Orbs +1. Esoteric skills consume all Esoteric Orbs and inflict +35% Damage per Esoteric Orb consumed.

These two engravings do very different things to your Esoteric Orb ability, meaning they can’t be taken together. Making your choice of Striker engraving determines how the rest of your build will look, so don’t invest in leveling up both of them early on. Here’s the best builds for both.

These are no means comprehensive lists, leaving a few spaces for engravings of your choice. However, these are priority, and should be taken first.
