When it comes to the Advanced Classes in Lost Ark, Deadeye is one of the four found under the Gunner mantle. Within the Gunner, it’s a male-only class, and it acts as the male equivalent of the female Gunslinger. Also, he rotates through three weapons: Sniper Rifle, Pistols, and Shotguns. Therefore, when you create a Deadeye Advanced Class build in Lost Ark, there’s a balance between weapons and skills.

Beyond that, there are some differences in the builds concerning PvP battles and PvE encounters, such as Raids and clearing out dungeons. But regardless of what you face, Deadeye focuses on combo damage, crit damage, and low cooldowns.

Lost Ark: The Best PvE Paladin Build

Besides your skills, engravings are always important. For some suggestions, we recommend the following:

  • Grudge: With this engraving, you get double action. First, for Boss-level and above monster foes, the damage increases by 20%. Second, your incoming damage reduces by 20%.
  • Keen Blunt Weapon: In general, this is a great complement for your Deadeye build of high crit damage. It increases crit damage by 50%, but it does increase your chance of dud hits.
  • Master of Ambush: Because this increases back attack damage by 25%, it’s ideal for those sneaky shotgun attacks.

Not to be left out, your Awakening Skills serve you well too. Bursting Flare and Clay Bombardment help you deal heavy damage and maximize how many targets you hit. So, they’re great for crowd control. Furthermore, they’re useful across the board in PvP and PvE.

So, play around a bit with Deadeye to see if these builds work for your playstyle.

Lost Ark is available on PC via Steam.
