These guides are so incredibly well made. Even if I don't plan on playing this class in PvP, I now feel like I understand it well enough to play around and against it. I wish you had infinite time and resources, a full series of these would be a game changer!
thanks a bunch for your video as always . i really like watching them just to learn about the class. i wish you did it for all classes :) not much experienced people making pvp guides for this game .... so its hard to break into it
great video, only thing i'd recommend for the skill build section is leaving the tripods and name on the left for the entire time you talk about the skill so that we don't have to rewind to see the tripods again.
@@LinNull both actually but mostly the first one so i can watch showcase clip while filling pods lol. also because sometimes i'm wondering what skill you're showcasing in the clip since theres alot of skills in the combo. sometimes i also rewind to see pods then fastforward and accidentally skip to the showcase clip for the next skill and i didn't notice i skipped a skill.
I've played it a bit in the past but not much - one of my lesser played classes but definitely very fun. Just hadn't gotten around to messing with it much.
Awesome guide! Thank you for your videos. You hit your combos very fast. Are you use 4 fingers in a row? Pinky on Q, ring on W, middle on E, index on R?
I don't usually press buttons with my pinky, so I'll tend to use 3 fingers for pressing (+ thumb on space bar), but that's good enough to pull combos off.
For me, right click to move, top row goes on QWER, bottom row goes on ASDF. It's the default options, then I just shift skills to my liking (for example I like having my knockups on E and dashes on W, but its up to individual preference.
I just met an arcana that did 100 - 0 on my gunslinger at the start of the game. Is it posible with the newest buffs or was he just cheating. The posibility to escape wasn't there as i was Staggered into fear into knock up - > dead. I've received no damage prior to the 100 - 0 combo. I have never seen any Arcana to do this even after the buff, ( now everyone uses the yellow skills ), only this guy Iceandfireq ( he is curently at mmr 2006 on EU )
With Culling/Death Card, you can get 100 to 0 no matter when. The skill he likely used was Evoke, which is a much higher burst than the old builds - so yes, that's definitely possible. Even this video shows at 03:58 an example 1-shot combo and that's without the Evoke build.
I spent the day messing around with Arcanist PvP, and this video confirmed all the little details I wanted to know. Incredible content Lin, thanks so much. My only question is: why isn't everyone focusing you while your team runs around watching in your sample 3s? That's pretty much the only experience I've had so far.
Because I'm focusing them instead haha - one of them is Destro/Arti/Summoner, 2 of which have a lot of difficulty engaging on Arcanist. The other was Destro/Gunslinger/Deadeye, and while they can chase me down, with a Berserker and Destroyer frontline on my team it isn't hard to play back. Comps matter a lot for Arcanist, and in those clips I got good comps I could play around.
Hi! I have one question, I have been troubling to pvp against artillerist how can I handle them? Specially their opening, Gatling stun misil 3/4 my HP gone... It's frustrating I haven't got any problem with any class except them
You can just basic attack. Hold down your attack button and gatling won't do anything to you - then just wait until they use space bar and its a free target, since you can hard CC them or just go in for a combo pretty easily.
I mean it's up to you, but usually her combo is very tight. Lower swiftness means you need to be even faster with Flower Dance return and get it very close to perfect if you don't want to force scales.
Been a bit busy and lost a bit of interest once Season 1 ended, so I haven't been playing Lost Ark currently (meaning no stream vods rn). There's still some on the channel but Twitch is clean currently.
The return pod for Spine Flower no longer exists - the alternate pod won't build stacks but it can still work as Call of Destiny builds stacks instead. Slight pod adjustments but can work. Other builds are viable now though, so Arcanist has more variety.
i got -200 pts yday from some arcana who was clearly way better than other arcanas but still.. i've never received such a beating in my life, the class doesn't seem really fair , there was pretty much nothing i could do
The class actually really struggles in higher level play. She is super dependent in Paralysis and has very bad Push skills. Put her agaisnt Glavier, Striker, Wardancer, Deadeye, any class with good Paralysis Immunity and she starts suffering. Just don't overcommit when chasing her and focus on interrupting her combos and long animations.
Unfortunately it's outdated with the Arcanist revamps. The class systems/gameplay/ultimates, etc. all still valid but the build itself had changed pods which means it's no longer possible to replicate.
@@fr0stlegend712 Sadly it's been a while since I've played so I can't really comment a good build for Arcanist right now, but maybe the unofficial disc could help out.
Very tough - she's not as ping dependent as GS (due to no weapon swap), but her combos are airtight due to scales and lag can cause issues with Stream of Edge Hard CC. 200 ping is likely too much for Arcanist, but if you're doing alright with GS then she'll be easier at that ping.
Check your guide and not understand some things. 1)Why some your skills have another animation in game than mine? 2)Now arcana has another tripods, seems its not actual build?
Arcana has received revamps that changed her visuals and some pods (like Dance of Spine Flower) sometime after the guide was released. While most of the guide is still relevant, some pods within the build section won't work since they were outright deleted, so it'd need amendments.
@@LinNull I am the Arcanist, I do see it on PVE but not on PVP, maybe a bug on the French UI version, I'll try to change it later and post there if there's a change !
@@Gaenico You should see it in PvP. You will not have a big market like in PvE bosses, and it'll be as if the enemies are Chaos Dungeon enemies. Perhaps you can try playing with the effects settings and see if it helps.
Well it does work after some changes (can't say witch one, changed some together), but it's really just "very tiny" icons as you said, similar to little mobs, and I ain't sure you can hide ennemies names in pvp, i'll try it too thanks for your help tho :)
Should be one from last week, but I've come down with Covid and haven't streamed pretty much since the guide went up. Will probably stream this week but haven't really been in a streaming condition the past week.
Small correction: Corrosion card is all sources of damage BY THE ARCANIST - so it will not apply to allies but will apply to personal burst.
My man Lin-null, also known as Mano Lin in Brazil. I'ts always a pleasure to watch your guides. Keep up the good work brother, good stuff.
These guides are so incredibly well made. Even if I don't plan on playing this class in PvP, I now feel like I understand it well enough to play around and against it. I wish you had infinite time and resources, a full series of these would be a game changer!
The concise commentary and time taken to create short clips to dub over the commentary... beautifully made!
This video deserves way more love than this. Lin makes the best guides hands down
your class guides are so good, they pretty much are the benchmark
Amazing guide as usual from the goat lin himself!
Godlike guide brother, thank you
Wow after I watched this video I instantly got grandmaster on 3 different regions playing arcana! Another great video Lin null
LOL it be like that
thanks a bunch for your video as always . i really like watching them just to learn about the class. i wish you did it for all classes :) not much experienced people making pvp guides for this game .... so its hard to break into it
Great quality content from best multiclass Grand Master in Europe, woah! Love the video
Terrific guide, thank you so much this was very helpful!
Mr. Handsome coming in clutch with this vid ♥
great video, only thing i'd recommend for the skill build section is leaving the tripods and name on the left for the entire time you talk about the skill so that we don't have to rewind to see the tripods again.
Will keep that in mind. Are you rewinding because you want to see the build pods when filling in game? Or just out of curiosity for what was picked?
@@LinNull both actually but mostly the first one so i can watch showcase clip while filling pods lol. also because sometimes i'm wondering what skill you're showcasing in the clip since theres alot of skills in the combo. sometimes i also rewind to see pods then fastforward and accidentally skip to the showcase clip for the next skill and i didn't notice i skipped a skill.

Great vid. More PvP class guides please.
Make an artillerist guide!
Você é brabo lin.
great video and helpful, thanks a lot, cloud you recmmend the stat for arcana? or the engravs for rowen battleground.
Hello, very helpful video!
You ever play hawkeye? I love sharpshooter, its the best class in the game by far.
I've played it a bit in the past but not much - one of my lesser played classes but definitely very fun. Just hadn't gotten around to messing with it much.

@@LinNull thanks 👍!
Thanks for your video! What finger position on keyboard is on your opinion optimal for pvp? QWER, WASD or something else?
For me, right click to move, top row goes on QWER, bottom row goes on ASDF. It's the default options, then I just shift skills to my liking (for example I like having my knockups on E and dashes on W, but its up to individual preference.

Insane views for LA PvP
I just met an arcana that did 100 - 0 on my gunslinger at the start of the game. Is it posible with the newest buffs or was he just cheating.

Great guide, very helpful. I really loved your character customization, it's possible to send me the custom file to base myself on?
Sadly this customisation isn't available in EU/NA as the face used was removed from the game in localisation.
Wheel of fortune doesn't do anything for awakening reset Per the whole match? It's still just 1 awakening ?
Still just 1 Awakening. You're capped to 1 use per match in PvP, regardless of CD.
I spent the day messing around with Arcanist PvP, and this video confirmed all the little details I wanted to know. Incredible content Lin, thanks so much.

Haha thank you, I'm just scrubbing around in casual queue so I don't actually expect much from my teammates. Thanks again for the video!
Hi! I have one question, I have been troubling to pvp against artillerist how can I handle them? Specially their opening, Gatling stun misil 3/4 my HP gone... It's frustrating I haven't got any problem with any class except them

I can make 600 swiftness + full crit work??? I find 600 > 750 negligible in most classes
I mean it's up to you, but usually her combo is very tight. Lower swiftness means you need to be even faster with Flower Dance return and get it very close to perfect if you don't want to force scales.
are you still making content? I click your twitch and its not available anymore
Been a bit busy and lost a bit of interest once Season 1 ended, so I haven't been playing Lost Ark currently (meaning no stream vods rn). There's still some on the channel but Twitch is clean currently.
What is the face preset for your arcanist? Looks great
Sadly I couldn't re-create her in EU/NA - it's a face they only have in KR/RU/JP (due to our "localised" face replacing some of the older ones).
is this build still what you'd run after the ptr update?
The return pod for Spine Flower no longer exists - the alternate pod won't build stacks but it can still work as Call of Destiny builds stacks instead.
Slight pod adjustments but can work. Other builds are viable now though, so Arcanist has more variety.

Hello may i ask if this build for pvp is still good on 2024 ?
Unfortunately it's outdated with the Arcanist revamps. The class systems/gameplay/ultimates, etc. all still valid but the build itself had changed pods which means it's no longer possible to replicate.
@@LinNull so for arena pvp what is the best build for skils that i could use? :D
@@fr0stlegend712 Sadly it's been a while since I've played so I can't really comment a good build for Arcanist right now, but maybe the unofficial disc could help out.
How is arcana with 200 ping? my main is GS and i lose my mind when i pvp.
Very tough - she's not as ping dependent as GS (due to no weapon swap), but her combos are airtight due to scales and lag can cause issues with Stream of Edge Hard CC. 200 ping is likely too much for Arcanist, but if you're doing alright with GS then she'll be easier at that ping.
why my skill are different color?? yours are peorple and mines are yellow
Arcana has received a revamp that changed the looks of her skills. Some pods have also changed (namely Dance of Spineflower).
@@LinNull so sad... darker look was way better
Check your guide and not understand some things.
1)Why some your skills have another animation in game than mine?

Is that normal that I can't see the stacks over the ennemies in PVP?
If you're the Arcanist you should always be able to see it. If you're not the Arcanist, you'll not be able to see it.
@@LinNull I am the Arcanist, I do see it on PVE but not on PVP, maybe a bug on the French UI version, I'll try to change it later and post there if there's a change !

no twitch vods???????????
Should be one from last week, but I've come down with Covid and haven't streamed pretty much since the guide went up. Will probably stream this week but haven't really been in a streaming condition the past week.
What’s your stats, pls
I run 750 Swiftness, 250 Crit, but that's personal preference.
@@LinNull Ty so much
