Lone Knight Gunlancer Gearing Guide for Lost Ark

Lone Knight is extremely straight forward when it comes to builds. You have two options for stats; Crit or Swiftness. Depending on which you decide to play as will determine which engravings you have to pick from. This playstyle is an Earth's Entropy user, there is no other option.

Card sets for Gunlancer are very straight forward. If you have access to it, Light of Salvation is the set to equip for Legion raids affected by Light-type damage. For any other content, or if Light of Salvation is unavailable, Lostwind Cliff is optimal for the increased Crit rate. If you're new to the game, feel free to equip any card set you have access to that increases survivability, such as Field Boss II.

Combat Readiness has a little variation to choose from, since the class engraving itself can be used at either level 1 or level 3, which then affects which combat engravings you use. Decisions should be made based on budget, Relic gear set, and preferred playstyle.

Engraving	Priority	Description
Lone Knight	High	Non-negotiable, this engraving must be taken at level 3. The Crit rate/damage benefits from it are too massive.
Grudge	High	A staple in damage builds. Every DPS class in this game takes it, Gunlancer being no different. Defensive Stance makes the downside of Grudge almost entirely negligible.
Super Charge	High	Affects both Charged Stinger and Surge Cannon, which equates to the majority of our damage. Not only does it increase our damage, it also speeds up the slowest actions in our kit.
Master Brawler	High	In true Earth's Entropy fashion, this engraving is a no-brainer.
Cursed Doll	Optional	Standard fifth engraving. The healing reduction shouldn't be too bad, considering how tanky you still are.
Adrenaline	Optional	Should only be taken at level 3 with a Swiftness build, replace Cursed Doll. Feel free to use it at level 1 regardless of stat distribution.
Combat Readiness	Bonus Engraving	Only take this at level 1 if you're going to use it. The scaling is too bad to warrant taking it any higher.

Starting in Legendary gear, you'll want the Harsh Oath set from Argos to give you additional Critical Damage. At this point in the game, you can mostly ignore the set from Valtan normal mode and immediately start transitioning into your only option, the Earth's Entropy gear set. The damage difference is massive from using this, so don't be discouraged early on if your numbers are a little lackluster without it.

There's two options for red Gunlancer. You either stack Crit with bonus Swiftness, or you stack Swiftness with bonus Crit. Use the appropriate engravings depending on the playstyle you decide to choose. The Crit build has higher damage potential, and will have larger numbers popping up on the screen, if that matters to you.
