Here, I would like to introduce you to a class in Lost Ark: Summoner. I’ll try to explain Summoner’s preferences and builds about her as simply as possible in this guide. 

Maybe you can also keep up to date with what’s going on in KR right now in this guide. Of course, with this guide you can use some builds to complete your journey to Lost Ark.

Class Engraving

Let’s start with the basics. Class Engraving I will cover in this guide is Master Summoner. As everyone expects or roughly understands Master Summoner, Master Summoner Class Engraving is a true Specialization class.

Unlike other classes that use identities as additional enhancements, Master Summoner not only uses identities, but can also use Ancient Elementals as her main backbone DPS skills. Therefore, most of her skills serve as auxiliary major skills.

Combat Stat & Engraving

As you might expect, her base and core combat stat is Specialization. Since her DPS performance depends heavily on her identity. Therefore, you need to choose a variant based on Specialization statistic.

So no matter what you build with Summoner, Specialization stat is indispensable. Of course, she has a few variant builds to choose from. But I don’t think Master Summoner is controversial about her most common build.

Building on her foundation is Specialization with Hallucination Gear Set. With Hallucination Gear, her critical hit rate might be better than you think. About 70%-80% when engraving on the right side.

You guys will probably be using key stats as secondary stats, so you may feel like her control is a little heavy throughout the raid. Personally, for a smooth identity cycle, you’d need at least a Specialization stat of around 1650 to see barely enough for 2 Akir in a cycle.

Of course, for a better and smoother gaming experience, the best stat requirement is 1750 or higher. But because Lost Ark game itself requires a little Lost Ark Gold budget for Specialization stat accessories. So, if you want to play some decent role in your team. You need at least a Specialization stat of around 1650.

Can & Can’t

Unlike other Specialization professions that have a certain degree of difficulty in maintaining DPS, Summoner has better stability in maintaining DPS.

She pours out skills easily in a short amount of time. Also, throughout the content, it’s very easy to maintain Hallucination buff, and the damage performance is decent.

Unlike other classes that rely on status, Summoner can more easily use her skills for many gimmicks, especially destruction and stagger. Personally, I think it would be easy to engage in a lot of gimmicks throughout the raid.

However, unlike her stable and good DPS and gimmick performance, her mobility and flexibility are quite poor. Her mobility is more like that of a Destroyer and Gunlancer.

Her survival skills haven’t changed much either. All her survivability abilities are space, dodge, and Ancient Elementals that are immune to damage for a short period.

Also, the latest trend in Lost Ark updates requires your character to have more mobility. As a result, some of Summoner’s skill builds and combinations or further combat statistics may not be for recent raid content.

She requires you to have a lot of experience to play the overall effect of Summoner. So in order to see her full performance in Variable Raid, you need to be more accurate or precise with her abilities.

Core Mechanic

The core mechanics of Master Summoner are identity supply and Ancient Elementals. As you might expect, her core mechanic is more of an identity loop, and there’s not much to focus on just looking at it. Provide your identity and use your attack skills before Ancient Elementals drop.

In addition, the key to Summoner management is buff skills. We cannot stack these two summoning or buffing skills at the same time. Therefore, you need to use buff skills one by one to see efficient damage performance.

Skill Combo

The skill combos are indeed a reference to Summoner. We can summarize the general framework of Summoner combos like this. This summoner skills and identity cycle does not require rote memorization, but understanding and applying it at the right time and in the right place.

But one thing you need to remember is that those attack power-up synergies must be used. Whether used before or during Akir’s spell casting, you must take advantage of synergy to get the most out of this identity’s DPS performance.

Regardless, I hope this guide is a little helpful on your journey to Lost Ark. Hope you have excellent results with your Master Summoner!
