Lost Ark: BEST Scrapper Build [PvP & PvE]

Scrappers are essentially part of the Martial Artist class in Lost Ark, and they are easily compared to their counterparts, Wardancers. In essence, Scrappers themselves are equipped with heavy gauntlets. They can deal devastating blows to their opponents with the way they hone excellent mobility and can swiftly move across the battlefield. On the subject of the martial artist, consider reading our Lost Ark Wardancer Build as it features the Martial Artist class too! 

They are a well-balanced unit that also unleashes potent damage with their attack power and base attack and punches their way through enemies until they are practically dead. Scrappers, in general, do not need to worry about their Mana consumption; rather, they need to maintain their Chi to deal potent hits to opponents. 

They are especially overpowered against larger bosses, as well as single targets and crowds of opponents too. They are a solid unit, and we will cover their skills, tripods, engravings, and overall playstyle. You will definitely like our Lost Ark Deadeye Build guide if you like this build. On the other hand, if you would rather main a class like a Sorceress, then make sure to take inspiration from our Lost Ark Sorceress Build!

Engravings and Playstyle of Scrapper Build

Wrapping up the Scrapper Build, Scrappers will take advantage of two main engravings or two different playstyles, which the players can experiment freely with to attain the highest damage output. 

Shock Training 

Kicking things off with the Shock Training Engraving, when the players acquire it, it will improve upon the shock skills used by the player while also enhancing the overall shock energy that the player is gaining back. The engraving itself mostly places the focus on damage output rather than mobility while in combat. 

Players should invest in getting Shock Training to level three to improve their shock skills further. The shock skills mentioned above can be slotted into this playstyle to get the highest amount of buffs possible. 

As for stats, players want to invest points into Specialization and Crit, which will allow for an easier particle regeneration while also enhancing the overall critical hits landed upon opponents. 

Ultimate Skill Taijutsu Engraving 

Comparatively, the Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu Engraving merely focuses on mobility compared to higher damage output. When talking about the two side by side, we can see that Shock Training focuses on damage output, while Taijutso is more concerned with mobility being provided to the player. 

Stamina recovery is also considered while adopting this playstyle, and it is suitable for players who want to move swiftly across the battlefield. Take it up a notch to level 3 to buff the skills being used by the player. Players can equip both stamina and shock skills, but take note that the stamina skills will deal greater damage than the shock skills. 

All in all, it is a dynamic playstyle and can be left to interpretation by the player. That wraps up our Scrapper Build; we hope that you liked it, and let us know what you think of it in the comments below!
