Best Lost Ark Wardancer build: PvE and PvP

The Wardancer is perhaps one of the fastest martial artist classes in Lost Ark, able to dash and glide quickly around enemies for quick bursts of damage. While not the best PvE or PvP subclass available to players, it’s more than able to hold its own against of melee DPS classes.

Lost Ark Wardancer Build: Engravings

There are, as usual, two picks for the primary Engraving. The first option Wardancers can pick is Esoteric Skill Enhancement, a great Engraving which grants an additional Esoteric Orb and makes Esoteric skills deal more damage per orb you have. However, First Intention is our Wardancer-specific Engraving pick. This stops you from gaining Esoteric metre altogether, but grants a flat 25% increased damage.

For non-class Engravings, we recommend the standard DPS Engravings used across many other classes. These are:

Cursed Doll: Attack +16%, incoming healing -25%
Grudge: Increases damage against bosses and higher-levelled enemies by up to 20% and decreases damage taken by the same amount

Lost Ark Wardancer Build: Priority stats

When it comes to sub stats on a Wardancer, Swiftness is your best bet. With moving in for quick attacks central to the classes’ identity, the ability to attack and travel fast is paramount above all else. As such take Swiftness whenever you can, and Crit as a backup when Swiftness is not available.

Best Wardancer Awakening Skill

For the Wardancer, Flash Rage Blow is our Awakening Skill of choice. With proper positioning, you can deal massive damage from consistent strikes followed by a massive shockwave. However, if you find yourself in a bad spot, you can always cancel it early for a smaller shockwave and an opportunity to dash away to safety.
