Lost Ark: Scrapper (Infighter) Class Detailed Guide and Skill Build

the Scrapper is a martial artist class that focuses on hand-to-hand combat with two massive gauntlets. “Hand-to-hand combat” is quite literal, as the Scrapper skillset is almost entirely comprised of different types of punching attacks. If you’re looking for diverse martial arts, you may want to look elsewhere. There are no kicks, throws, or grapples in the Scrapper skill set, just hands.

We always encourage players to test a class themselves before they start playing that class. At the end of the day, you wouldn’t want to spend your time with something you don’t have fun. You may also want to check our ultimate beginner guide and tips If you are new to this game.

Lost Ark: Scrapper Class Overview

• Best Martial Artist Beginner Class
• Massive and Impactful DPS Punches
• Good Self and Party Buffs
• Effective Impairment Skills
• High Mobility

As a Lost Ark Scrapper, you can inflict a significant amount of damage mostly through the big punches you deliver with occasional stomps. But this isn’t the only thing you’re good at since you also have impairment skills to knock them up or down, allowing you to successfully clear mobs and bosses. Moreover, Scrappers have Super Armors to protect from crowd control.

Lost Ark: Scrapper Class Pros & Cons

We will cover how these, as well as the class Engravings, impact the playstyles for the Scrapper.

Pros

• Great damage output, and fairly sustained damage
• Lots of Stagger – essential for clearing some boss Stagger checks
• Lots of Super Armor for sticking close to the boss

Cons

• Two unique playstyles that depend on your Engraving, which means a bit of a learning curve
• You need to hit your self buffs, otherwise the class is pretty weak
• Managing the identity gauge is a bit more complicated than just button mashing

Lost Ark: Scrapper Class Best PvE build

Lost Ark: Scrapper Class Best PvP build

Similar to a PvE Scrapper build, the name of the game in PvP will always be dealing damage, but the PvP build puts more of a focus on AoE damage to deal with multiple enemies attempting to surround your position.

So, in order to maximize your PVP strength, here are all the skills you’ll need:

Lost Ark: Scrapper Class Identity Skills

Scrappers have one of the most interesting Identities I’ve seen in the game because it encourages you to experiment with different playstyles. Stamina Skills are predominantly comprised of Back Attacks while Shock Skills feature both Back and Frontal Attacks. As such, it teaches players to be flexible when it comes to approaching enemies. To optimize damage output, Scrappers will either move behind them or charge in front of them.

Lost Ark: Scrapper Class Engravings

Engravings are a key component of endgame customization in Lost Ark. There are many generic engravings that all classes can use which provide major boosts to your character, though often with considerable downsides. There are also two class Engravings for each class, which create distinct playstyles for endgame content. Wardancer’s class Engravings are:

There are two class-specific engravings that players can use for the Scrapper Class.

Shock Training Build

This build focuses more on using Stamina Skills to generate Shock. Leading to hard-hitting Shock skills, which will then generate Stamina to then use on your Stamina Skills. The Shock Training engraving means you can generate Shock passively and gives a damage bonus to your Shock skills.

This build typically looks for Specialization and Crit as their desired stats, with Specialization usually being the primary focus. Aim for around a 70/30 Specialization/Crit split.

Shock Training Engravings

• Shock Training
• Grudge
• Ambush Master
• Cursed Doll
• Adrenaline

Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu build

The Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu build is the opposite of the former, instead it focuses on Stamina skills, with a few Shock skills to dump any excess Shock. The Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu engraving increases your Stamina regen and boosts the dmg of your Stamina skills, while penalising your Shock skills. Meaning you won’t need to alternate between using Shock and Stamina often in order to fuel your Stamina skill usage. Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu is a faster-paced and mobile build with high attack speed and consistent damage. 

This build typically looks for Crit and Swiftness as their desired stats, with Crit usually being the primary focus. Aim for around a 70/30 Crit/Swiftness split to begin with.

Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu Engravings

• Ultimate Skill:Taijutsu
• Grudge
• Keen Blunt
• Adrenaline
• Ambush Master

Lost Ark: Scrapper Class Awakening Skills

Awakening Skills are not your typical Skills in Lost Ark. These are advanced skills and can be used by different types of classes. Each class possesses its own unique Awakening Skill that gives them passive abilities, making them even stronger.

Undefeated Dragon King: Focus on your inner energy and perform an attack on the opponent.

Blast of Ruination: Focus and strengthen your gauntlets to perform a striking attack.
