The Glaivier advanced class, also known as the Lance Master, is the newest class added during the April 21 update in Lost Ark. Glaivier is a female Martial Artist class that uses a lance to attack enemies using two different stances. This guide will provide information about the Glaivier’s skills at each level and how to design your PvE and PvP builds in Lost Ark.

Glaivier Leveling Build in Lost Ark

The Glaivier uses her spear to dish out melee attacks using two different stances, Flurry and Focus. You can use Z to change between each stance to change the way the character attacks. The Flurry stance allows you to attack using sweeping area-of-effect attacks, while the Focus stance allows you to use rapid hitting attacks. Each stance also comes with different skillsets.

Glaivier Awakening Skills and Engravings in Lost Ark

The best build for PvP and PvE will depend significantly on the Awakening Skill and Engravings you use. Similar to other classes in the game, the Glaivier has two Awakening Skills available for you to use after unlocking them:

  • Yeon-Style Spear Technique: Spear – Choose a location to fire your spear. After a short delay, the Glaivier will leap into the air and launch the spear towards the spot, causing an explosion that damages any enemies within the attack’s radius.
  • Yeon-Style Spear Technique: Storming Red Dragon – Unleash rapid-hitting attacks that damage any enemies within the radius. At the end of the attack, the Glaivier will launch herself forward, damaging and knocking back enemies.

Likewise, the Glaivier has two class-specific Engravings that the character may use:

  • Control: You are unable to switch to the Focus stance. However, your Flurry skills damage increases by 18/27/36%, depending on the Engraving level.
  • Pinnacle: Replace Dual Meter level three with engraving-exclusive bonuses that increase effectiveness depending on the Engraving level.

One central power source for the Glaivier is the buffs she receives when switching stances. Depending on your Duel Meter level, you will receive buffs that increase your move and attack speed, damage and critical damage. Since this is a crucial part of Glaivier’s build, the Pinnacle engraving will provide you with the most benefit. However, Control is viable if you prefer the playstyle of the Flurry skillset. The skill builds below apply to PvE and PvP situations and utilize the Pinnacle engraving.

Flurry (Blue) Skills

Focus (Red) Skills

While this skillset build accounts for the Pinnacle engraving build, there are only minor differences when using the Control engraving. For example, the skill points you allocate to Focus skills will instead strengthen your Flurry skills. Since you will miss out on the increased critical rate and dual meter boosts from perks such as Firepower Control and Air-Ripping Thrust, you’ll focus more on your damage output and crit rate.
