Support Artist Raid Build Guide
Artist is one of the 3 support classes in Lost Ark. Whereas Bards prevent damage by focusing on high shield uptime, Paladins with consistent area wide team buffs and Artist is possibly 1 of the best babysitter support with the high healing rate and portals for allies that mispositioned.
The most unique tool that Artist offers is summoning portals with Paint: Door of Illusion that your allies can interact with to get a massive shield and gets teleport to your location it can be improved by having properties to remove debuffs without allies interacting but the worst part of the skill is hoping your allies have the awareness to take your portal even if you tried to save them.
The other strong point of Artist support, it’s her Harmony Orbs mechanic, Whereas Bards can’t choose how much meter they use for Heals and Buffs as their identity skills consume all the filled bar that she has and Paladins will always consume the entire bar regardless, Artist heals with Sunrise only cost 1 Harmony Orb each while Moonfall the damage buff only cost 2 Orbs . This allows Artist able to Heal or Buffs without accidentally consuming their entire Identity Gauge unlike other supports.
Artist has the best party mana regain skill in the game when compared to other supports, with Paint: Sun Well instant regains 30% max mana with fairly low cooldown when you have high Swiftness stats, whereas other supports only provides 40-50% mana regen increase.
The downside of Artist support is her ability to shield allies requires her to be jumping on them or close to them with Stroke: Hopper which sometimes it’s not the wise choice as you might get yourself caught in big mechanic resulting in 2 man down instead of only 1 man and Stroke: Sprinkle can be difficult to shield multiple allies if everyone is not group up due to its linear area of coverage.
If supporting your allies with sheer cuteness while devilishly splashing ink all over them for morale boost brushes your canvas, then paint the path for your allies with Full Bloom Artist.
