Since Lost Ark was fully released for all players on February 11, it has been a popular choice for both hardcore MMO fans and those looking for a new game to try out. While some prefer flying through quests and fighting strong monsters, others invest their energy in PvP and climbing the rankings. While you may already have a character dedicated to questing and PvE, you might be wondering what classes are best against other players. This guide will provide you with information on some of the best classes for PvP in Lost Ark.

The Best Classes for PvP in Lost Ark

The best classes to choose in PvP will partially depend on your playstyle. However, two classes with considerable advantages during PvE and PvP are the Bard and Paladin classes. Since they both provide buffs and healing, they are not only incredibly useful in parties but during PvP. While the Bard has higher healing output than the Paladin, the Paladin is much tankier, and deals increased damage.

Alternatively, classes such as the Deathblade and Deadeye are also great choices if you are looking for a more DPS-heavy combat style. While you will be missing the support capabilities of the Bard and Paladin, your damage output will drastically increase. These classes allow you to shred through your opponent’s health completely. Even if you match against a Bard or Paladin, the high mobility and damage output of the Deathblade and the crowd control capabilities of the Deadeye will help you counter the heals and buffs of the Paladin and Bard.

If you prefer fast-paced melee attacking over ranged, the Deathblade will be your go-to. In contrast, if you prefer a ranged attacker with a wide array of weapons to choose from, the Deadeye will be your best bet. The Paladin works well if you’re looking for a tankier class with damage and healing potential, while the Bard is more focused on burst healing.

Lost Ark will be available exclusively on PC. For more information regarding the game and future updates, check out the official website.
