In Lost Ark, the player can choose from many classes, including the Glaivier, an advanced Martial Artist class. While the Glaivier can offer a lot of damage using her Dragon attacks, she can also change her stance to become a powerful melee fighter. The player must master the ability to switch stances at the right time to make the most of this class.

One of the key aspects of Lost Ark is creating the perfect build. Players have a lot of options when it comes to setting up their Glaivier, from choosing the most effective skills to picking the best engravings. However, following this Glavier build guide will lead to players creating an unstoppable powerhouse.

The Best Skills For The Glaivier

One of the essential parts of the best Glavier build is choosing which skills the Glaivier will focus on. As they unlock throughout the game, there are specific ones that will match up well for this class from both the flurry and focus stance skill sets. Of the Awakening Skills, the player will want to focus on using Yeon-Style Spear Technique: Storming Red Dragon.

The Glaivier skills and applicable tripods recommended to upgrade them are as foolows:

The Best Engravings For The Glaivier

Choosing the best engravings for the Glaivier is critical to getting the most out of her. Whether the player seeks to boost the Glaivier's stats or change how the class plays, engravings offer a significant amount of alteration. Of the two class engravings, the player will want to choose the Pinnacle engraving. Pinnacle is the better choice of the two, as it allows the player to continue to take advantage of the class' ability to switch stances. In contrast, the Control engraving eliminates the Focus stance completely.

The standard engravings that the player will find most beneficial to the Glaivier class are as follows:

• Cursed Doll: This engraving is better left for more veteran players as it has an adverse side effect. The player will receive a large attack power boost but, in return, will experience a reduced healing ability.
• Grudge: This engraving should not be used until it is at its maximum level to get the most benefit from it. The player will deal more damage but will also incur the same amount of extra damage. They will need to be quick on their feet to ensure they avoid direct attacks.
• Keen Blunt Weapon: This engraving increases critical hit damage but also presents the chance that basic attacks will deal less damage.
• Raid Captain: This engraving will increase the damage dealt by the player by a percentage of the Glaivier's total move speed.

The Best Stats To Focus On For The Glaivier

The player will want to spend some time focusing on certain stats for their Glaivier. These are Swiftness and Crit. They should be given an 80/20 split when adding points. Choosing the appropriate accessories is absolutely necessary to achieve this breakdown, which will result in optimal play for this build.

Swiftness as the primary stat focus will allow the player to increase their Glaivier's movement and attack speeds and their class skill cooldowns. Crit as the secondary stat focus will increase the chances of landing a critical hit. The combination of these two stats will allow for a more powerful and faster Glaivier.

The Best Alterations To Make For PVP

The player will need to make some alterations when switching to PVP. This is also a viable build for raids. The primary focus is on making some changes to the skill lineup to ensure that there are enough options for staggers and debuffs.
