For the Artillerist, thats theFirepower Gauge.
As you deal damage, you will build up your Firepower Gauge.

Every 33% grants you a damage buff, bringing the Artillerists DPS to more and more impressive levels.
At full Firepower Gauge, you’ve got the option to also activateBarrage Mode.
However, entering Barrage Mode also roots you in place, completely immobilizing you until you exit Barrage Mode.
That of course leaves the player rather vulnerable.
This is the typical game plan for Artillerists.
Things are no different here, and thats why Artillerist shines.
Each skill has ten levels, but higher levels require more skill points.
Of course, youll also gain Tripods at levels 4, 7, and 10.
These powerful augments alter a skill, sometimes drastically.
These are fairly flexible while leveling, but the setup below will be your best bet.
So, you will be able to max out a few extra skills right from the get go.
Use these builds as you transition into endgame with Engravings and Awakening Skills.

Best Lost Ark Artillerist build: Engravings
The next step in customization after 50 is Engravings.
These are extra buffs you might acquire through gear andEngravingbooks.
For Artillerist, these are:
As it stands right now, Firepower Enhancement is the meta pick.
The defensive bonus is huge for a relatively immobile class like Artillerist.
These suggestions should work well for most Artillerist players.
Specialization and Swiftness are nice secondary targets, respectively increasing Firepower meter gain and lowering cooldowns.
Since most Artillerists will use Firepower Enhancement, most Artillerists will want Crit for maximum DPS.
If you do decide to mess around with Barrage Enhancement, use Specialization to get into Barrage Mode faster.
In PvP, however, Heavy Turret is the go to.
Thats everything you’re gonna wanna get ramped up for endgame as Artillerist!
