The Sorceress is one of the two advanced classes available for Mages. Using a wide range of Area-of-Effect elemental spells, the Sorceress is highly effective for dealing with large groups of monsters or targeting those that are weak to certain elements. Considered a popular pick for those that enjoy PvE activities such as Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids, the Sorceress is a great class for those that favor dealing heavy damage. This guide will provide information about the Sorceress’ Skills at each level and how to design your PvE and PvP builds in Lost Ark.

Sorceress Leveling Build in Lost Ark

The Sorceress starts with a few elemental spells at early levels and unlocks more as you progress. The main elements the Sorceress can control using her spells is Fire, Lightning, and Water/Ice. Each element is helpful for different situations in both PvP and PvE. For example, while Fire spells often deal the most damage, numerous Water and Ice spells can slow down and freeze enemies. You also start with two separate skills, Arcane Rupture and Blink, that consumes magick from your Arcane Meter. While Blink is a simple-to-use teleport spell, Arcane Rupture increases your damage output and reduces spell cooldowns.

While the Sorceress has a wide range of spells to use, the builds to use during PvP and PvE will differ. For example, some of her most powerful spells are also ones that require a couple of seconds of cast time before launching. In this short amount of time, a player may move out of the way and release their own array of abilities, putting you at a severe disadvantage. The following tables provide recommendations for PvE and PvP Sorceress builds and powerful Tripods to boost each spell.

The PvE build for the Sorceress focuses on high damage output, greater AoE capabilities and buffs to Arcane Rupture. In contrast, the PvP build prioritizes lowering cooldowns for some of the Sorceress’ most powerful abilities and maximizing rapid DPS to overwhelm your opponent.

Sorceress Awakening Skills in Lost Ark

The Sorceress has two main Awakening skills at her disposal once she unlocks them:

  • Enviska’s Might: The most commonly chosen out of the two. A high DPS, large-radius lightning spell further increases the Sorceress’ overall damage output. Enviska’s Might is not only more reliable in PvP but has many uses in most PvE situations.
  • Apocalypse Call: A high DPS, large-radius fire spell. While it can deal immense amounts of damage, particularly during dungeons and raids, the randomness of the meteor drops makes it slightly less reliable than Enviska’s Might. However, its +200% damage buff against Challenge or below monsters makes it capable of dealing more overall damage than Enviska’s Might in many PvE situations.
