Today we are going to cover the Lost Ark advanced Summoner, the spec build that's doing a lot of damage in KR. We list the gears, stats, engravings, skills, gems and more for the advanced summoner build.

Best Lost Ark Summoner Build Guide (Spec Build)

Advanced Summoner has to do with identity skills, it reduces required meter by one and enhances animation effect. It also increases crit rate, damage of normal and identity skills. So the DPS heavily relies on identity skills and most of the normal skills are for gaining the identity meter. So it uses less attack gems.

Gear & Stats

For the gears, Hallucination is the beta. For the stats, specialization is the main stat. Spec increases the damage of identity skills and identity meter gain. For the substance, crit or swiftness is what you go. Depending on which stat you sub, the engraving slightly changes. The difference is critsub has higher potential, but compared to serving swiftness, not just the survivability but because of low cooldown reduction you cannot run adrenaline engraving since it's really hard to maintain the buff. Also, having low cooldown reduction means it does less destruction and stagger.

Engravings

If your substance is swiftness, then go for hipmaster, Grudge, Keen blunt, Adrenaline and Advanced Summoner, that's currently the best build. The reason why this build can run Kim blunt is because it can get over 60% crit rate thanks to hallucination, adrenaline, Advanced Summoner and from one of the minion buff called Shruti. You can run cursed over hipmaster, but there's no reason to take the penalty from Krystal since all the Summoner skills are free positional. If your subset is crit, then you go cursed doll over adrenaline since adrenaline is really hard to maintain on that build.

Phoenix: It requires 4 meters when you have the class engraving. This skill is used a lot in chaos dungeon, it can hit the mobs which are in the front with a wide range. Good example uses in the raid can be destroying tentacles in the Vykas gate 3.
Jahia and Eligias: It requires 5 meters when you have the class engraving. This skill has the strongest stagger among identity skills. It does similar stagger to using two times of a image. But if you think about the identity meter required, a limit requires three each and Jahia requires five when you have the class engraving, so Jahia is more efficient to use.
