The Shadowhunter is the reaper-type damage dealer of the Assassin class in Lost Ark. They focus on dealing large amounts of damage with close-range melee attacks and their ability to shapeshift into a demon. To get the most out of the Shadowhunter advanced class, you will want to verify you are running the right build. Here is our Lost Ark Shadowhunter Build Guide.
Shadowhunter Class overview
The Shadowhunter is a scary sight in battle. It puts out effective damage from both melee and ranged distances, and it sports high mobility. The only drawback to the Shadowhunter is that they are meant to be played at a fast pace, which is daunting for some players. Luckily, the Shadowhunter’sIdentity Skillcan help to make this class deadly.
The Shadowhunter’s Identity Skill is calledShadowburst Gauge. When your Shadowburst Gauge fills up, you canturn into a demonic form of yourselfthat gives you boosted health and movement speed. In this mode, you unlock access to a few new skills that you’re able to use to claw your enemies with high damage. Your build should work to increase your effectiveness both in and out of your demonic form.
