Best Lost Ark Destroyer build: overview and Identity Skills
The Destroyer has two identity meters.
The first is Gravity Cores.
Using skills will fill your three Gravity Cores, which you might then spend to empower other skills.
This is superficially similar to theStrikerandWardancersOrbs, but it plays out a bit differently in practice.
Destroyer has two types of skills.
Concentration skills have blue icons and build up Gravity Cores.
Destroyers second identity gauge is the Gravity Meter, which functions similarly toBerserkersBurst Meter.
At full Gravity Meter, you’re able to activate Hypergravity mode.
However, it also massively boosts your basic attack speed and power.
Use Hypergravity mode for additional single target burst when you have a window during boss fights.
That makes the leveling process easy, as you could blow away most mob packs with one button.
Your Gravity Release skills also make single-target damage a breeze, easily dropping campaign bosses.
Each skill has ten levels and earns powerful Tripod effects at levels 4, 7, and 10.
Use those points to set up the build above.
The build above will help you play to those strengths.
Engravings are powerful bonuses that help customize your character to fit your playstyle.
There are many generic engravings you might unlock for all classes, plus two class-specific engravings per class.
Destroyers are:
Both Destroyer class engravings lean into different slides of the build meter then burst playstyle.
Your generic Engravings are pretty flexible, but some options are always stronger than others.
For Destroyer, this is all very simple.
You want as much Crit as possible, with Specialization as your second priority.
This holds true at all stages of the game and for both class Engravings.
Crit will increase your critical strike rate, while Specialization helps you build Gravity Cores and Gravity Meter faster.
You may also consider splashing some Swiftness to smooth out Destroyers slow attack animations, but it isnt required.
Awakening Skills
The final pieces of the class puzzle are Awakening Skills.
These are essentially ultimate abilities, with huge damage and lengthy cooldowns.
Destroyers are:
Big Bang deals more damage but is much harder to land because of the charge time.
Destroyer’s playstyle is not for everyone, but pays dividends for those who enjoy it.
