Demonic Impulse Shadowhunter in Lost Ark is one of the best and one of the most interesting builds one player can experience. Everything from looking scary and mysterious, to changing forms and unleashing havoc on your enemies.

Here we will discuss the best build for Tier 3 and how to manage it. Let’s go.

T3 Demonic Impulse Shadowhunter Build – Lost Ark

Demonic Impulse Shadowhunter is a fast paced positionless melee class that focuses on the specialization stat. They are a constant Dps bomb with a self healing and movement speed, making them fairly easy to play and in the same time – very hard to kill.

Skills

This is what I think is the bare minimum. It requires only 264 Skill Points which most players need to have when they reach Tier 3.

With this you have all the tripods that can make you transform as quickly as possible.

Then once you get 308 Skill Points, proceed down this road.

This is very good for enhancing your overall mobility for any type of action and transformation.

At 340 Skill Points you will research these.

This increases your damage to pushing new monsters like bosses while also much faster animations time and being much more consistent.

Optionally: you can change Thrust Impact to Sharpened Cut for much greater mobility.

Engravings

You can take anywhere from 2 to 4 Wells, or however many you need. Put them from strongest to the weakest in this way:

  • Vision
  • Howl
  • Grip
  • Reclone

On your Demon skills, Galewinds on Leaping Blow and Blood Massacre are highly recommended. They make the skills flow faster and you will be less likely to be interrupted while using them. Very important because they are the hardest hitting skills you have.

On the rest of the skills, it is all personal preference. Bleed, Rage, Quick Recharge, Overwhelm – they are all viable and it is up to you to match your own playstyle.

This is what I currently run and it is highly efficient and successful.

  • 1302 – 1325 = have equipped 2 demonic Impulse engravings
  • 1325 – 1370 = stick to 2 demonic impulse engraving books and use a tier 2 relic rock to end up with at least 2 level 3 engravings. Adrenaline, Hit Master, Grudge all good choices
  • 1370+ = you can stick with a cheap 3/3/3 setup, or upgrade to a 3/3/3/3. This can cost from about 15k to 25k. Adrenaline, Keen Blunt Weapon, Hit Master, Grudge or Cursed Doll all good choices

Skill Tripods

Another way to increase your gauge gain is to apply Skill Tripods. Shadowhunters have in total 4 tripods that increase in this aspect.

The ones for Vision and Howl are in very high value.

Pet

Very important to change your pet in Specialization. You can do this by going to any Working Achatemeow in any major city.

This gives an extra +10% to your spec stats which is very important.

Gems

This is pretty simple really. Gems are really cheap for Shadowhunters, and this is all you need to use.

Cards

The best is 6 set field boss for 12% more hp, this of course means more hp and more healing done with potions as well as the natural healing that Shadowhunters enjoy.

This is for the far future, aim for this set.

So go ahead and try this Shadowhunter build out, and i am sure it will become your favourite!
