In addition to Lost Ark’sslue ofPVE Raid’s and Dungeonsalso has a PVP section where players can compete against other players in 1v1 or 3v3 content. Not all classes are suited for this part ofLost Ark’s content, but this list will show the best classes to pick in PVP.
Lost Ark’s PVP
Players are notable to immediately jump intoLost Ark’s PVP modes; there are a set of parameters that must be completed before access is granted. Firstly, there is a level requirement; players must be at least level 26 to participate in the PVP section of the game. In addition, players must have also unlocked the first capital city of Luneterra, whereLost Ark’s Arena is housed. Finally, players will receive a quest that will walk them through the game’s PVP system and give them access to the special area.
Lost ArkPVP takes place in a small arena in tournament style; no large scale oropen-world PVP systems are in place. There are three game modes: Deathmatch,which is Player vs. Player,Team Deathmatch,which places three players against another team of three; andTeam Elimination, another 3v3 mode that takes advantage of battle rounds instead of all-in chaos.
Berserker
Berserker is a very solid and grounded class in Lost Ark. Berserker excels in dishing out high damage while remaining somewhat tanky at the same time. Berserker has multiple skills that hit wide arcs and immobilize or “push” enemy players, lining them up for easy team combos or single target damage in 1v1 situations.
While Berserker suffers from low mobility, this class is a good distraction for enemy teams to soak up more damage than other classes and break up enemy formations.
The Bad
Wardancer
The Wardancer is a very high damaging and mobile class, making it incredibly viable in PVP. The Wardancer shines in its quick casting abilities and combo potential. With the proper positioning, this class can rain down an insta-kill combo on most classes before they have time to react.

In addition, Wardancerbuffs teammates’attack speed and character stats with its aura effects. Where the Wardancer loses a step is its range; as a melee class, it is limited, having minimal AOE potential, and its abilities do not reach as far as other classes in the same class tree.
Gunslinger
The Gunslinger excels at picking enemies apart with its long-range abilities, able to poke enemy players until they are at low enough health to be executed. The Gunslinger makes a great addition to teams adding increased pressure for enemies to close the distance and lose their positioning.
Gunslinger also benefits from incredible mobility, making it extremely hard to lock down and deal damage to. However, the Gunslinger suffers from lower health than other classes and can be blown up if caught in any classes' combo.
Sorceress
The Sorceress shines because of its wide range of AOE abilities; this class can cover the battlefield in a slew of elemental storms that cut off the routes of enemy players, putting battle plans into disarray and hindering mobility.

The Sorceress plays well in the background, saving high damaging abilities for when a single target overextends or the enemy team groups up to tightly. This class does suffer from low health, which is made an even more significant issue with the Sorceress’s low mobility making it hard to escape a tight situation.
Deathblade
The Deathblade is a class that terrorizes most instances of PVP. This class benefits from wide arcing abilities that can dish out massive damage to enemy players caught in the vortex. Deathblades also benefit from multiple skills that aid them in mobility, allowing them to get out of danger in the blink of an eye.

Low health is an issue for the Deathblade, but close counter engagements are in this class’s favor unless outnumbered. Unfortunately, this class’s cooldowns make it difficult to retaliate against multiple opponents.
