Wardancer is one of the available archetypes for the female Martial Artist in Lost Ark. More than simple fighters, Wardancers use elemental power to unleash devastating attacks and gravity-defying moves upon their enemies. This guide has all the info you need for your end-game Wardancer engravings build.
Wardancer Engravings Guide
You have the opportunity to unlock two unique class engravings for your Wardancer, both of which significantly change how your Esoteric Orbs function. These two engravings are called Esoteric Skill Enhancement and First Intention, and while unique to your class they must both be leveled up like any other engraving. These engravings should always take priority over any other.
But what exactly do your class engravings do?
- Esoteric Skill Enhancement – Lv. 3: Max number of Esoteric Orbs +1. Esoteric skills inflict +12% Damage per Esoteric Orb you have.
- First Intention – Lv. 3: Damage to foes +25%, but you can no longer gain Esoteric Meter.
As you can clearly see, the choice of engraving here creates two vastly different playstyles, and so they should be the defining point around which the rest of your build is based. Esoteric Skill Enhancement focuses on empowering your Esoteric skills, while First Intention forgoes Esoteric skills entirely in order to focus on your normal rotation. However you choose to play your Wardancer, here is how you build her.
These are no means comprehensive lists, leaving a few spaces for engravings of your choice. However, these are priority, and should be taken first.
