Lost Ark Artist Class Guide: All Engravings and Skills

The most recent update to Lost Ark introduces the Artist Advanced Class. Check out the Artist’s Class Engravings and Skills in our Class Guide below.

Lost Ark Artist Class Guide

The Artist class was introduced in the most recent “The Art of War” update. The Artist brings a refreshing and unique playstyle to the battlefield with her illusion powers. With her introduction also comes the addition of the new Specialist class category. The official blog post also indicates that she will not be the last Specialist this year. This class is designed to bring diverse tactical options and exciting gameplay experiences to the table.

With her magic brush, The Artist can choose to summon divine beasts or directly attack her enemies, displaying her tactical versatility. Her kit is geared towards providing support to her team, rather than raw damage output, which makes her a valuable addition to any party. By rescuing her allies with her illusion powers, The Artist can quickly turn the tide of battle in her team’s favor.

Artist Class Changes in Western Version

The Artist class was at the center of controversy a few months back within the Lost Ark community. Lost Ark has been quite faithful to its original, and more ahead (in terms of content) counterpart in the Korean version, but this changed when publisher Amazon Games revealed that the Artist will receive more changes.

“While our goal is to preserve the authenticity of the original game, we also work with Smilegate RPG to make localization updates to ensure the game feels approachable and representative of our Western players. Nothing gameplay-related will change for the Artist Class, but some skins will be modified to better fit Western norms. “Amazon Games commented. “Specifically, skins with short skirts will have shorts added underneath the skirt, and other skins will have adjusted pant lengths or tights added. We will be working to preserve the original spirit of the skins when applying these changes to ensure players will have a variety of compelling customization options for this uniquely versatile class.”

Artist Class Identity

The Artist can fill the Harmony Meter Identity Gauge by landing skills on foes, filling up three Harmony Orbs. Harmony Orbs can be used to cast Moonfall and Sunrise. These two Identity Skills do not have a cooldown.

• Moonfall – (Uses 2 Orbs) Strike the ground with a powerful stroke. Temporarily increase Outgoing Damage of all party members within 24 meters.
• Sunrise – (Uses 1 Orb) Focus energy and summon a Sun Marble at the target location within 10 meters, which recovers HP. Up to 3 Sun Marbles can be summoned at once, and each Sun Marble lasts for 60s.
