May-12-2022

In Lost Ark, the Glaivier is a melee damage dealer with two weapons, a glaive and a spear, each with different abilities. Glaivier can swap to a short spear in a Flurry stance for a precise lethal attack, or bring out the glaive in Focus stance for a more aggressive style, which allows her to a balanced mix of speed and power. This class ranks pretty high on Team Deathmatch's overall PvP tier list, and if players take the time and effort to master her playstyle, she'll dominate high-end duties. This article will introduce you to the best Lost Ark Glaivier builds for PvP.

Lost Ark Glaivier PVP Gameplay

As a Glaivier, the goal of the game is not only to be a powerful DPS class but to be the initiator of your team. Practicing your positioning is a good starting point when playing Glaivier. In PVP, the camera positioning is important because you and your opponent only have a limited FoV. So keep yourself within the right range, but also horizontal with the enemy.

Ideally, you'll want to start your combos and initiations by sliding in with a Flash Kick or your other movement skills. These include Starfall Pounce, Vault, and Cutting Wind, which skills activate especially quickly. Another benefit of starting with these spells is giving your teammates a chance to follow up. Also, be sure to go fast with Dragonscale Defense, a key skill that is not wasted in combat,  but is more of a hybrid defense/offense context.

While Glaivier Identity is fairly straightforward, it's also very effective. The purpose of your Identity is to hit your opponents with abilities that will quickly fill up each section. Keep an eye on your opponents and your teammates, position yourself correctly and start launching or peeling for your teammates while throwing high damage combos to net kills.
