Vykas Hard Walkthrough | Artillerist PoV | Lost Ark

[@EndieM8]

Phase 2 65x Bar mechanic explanation: Three clones will spawn at 5 o clock, 7 o clock and 11 o clock. They will flash 5 times each, either black or red. They will then shoot 5 BLACK orbs towars Vykas. They will always be black orbs. The flashes before hand (red or black) will determine whether you soak the orb or let it pass through to Vykas. The goal is to soak all black orbs that fly towards Vykas and let the red orbs pass. Soaking 2 black orbs in a row = death. Soaking a red orb = death. You can time stop the orbs to soak them, but timing has to be perfect so that you don't get clipped by the next one coming. So to do this mechanic, there are 8 position assignments: 11-1, 11-2, 11 Spare 7-1, 7-2, 7 Spare 5-1, 5-2 (can also be 5 spare instead of 7 or 11, these are floating roles) So that was all that typing we did during the positioning in the ready circle. Why spare? Because 2 clones will spawn 3 black orbs (I forget if its guaranteed always 2 clones spawn 3, but it at LEAST one). Remember you can use time stop to soak orbs if people are dead. And thats it, if you soak all black orbs you will succesfully pass the mechanic. I think they made it a bit easier allowing you to miss one black orb, but that might be for normal only I can't remember.

i was a spec /crit barrage arti before the buffs but switched to swift arti, sure it does a lot less damage but is safer which at the end gives you a lot less headaches.

[@EndieM8]

Spec crit is much easier to play when you play with supports with full yearning set upgraded

[@DraupnerN]

Your character link is updated to specc/crit is there any guide you can point me towards to check the skills/tripods?

[@MJunkis]

God build, as always. Love your content.

[@o0fireshadow0o]

What are your engravings for this build ?

[@alexcack7872]

Is it 6 set poem of salvation for spec arti? @EndieM8

[@giuliominuti9231]

how do I decide between flamer and forward barrage to build meter? Forward barrage seems cool because of the extra counter

[@whyareyoureadingthis1947]

Flame is better. Forward barrage need to be in melee range to be effective and you don't want to do that all the time.

[@giuliominuti9231]

@@whyareyoureadingthis1947 yeah but you get a lot more meter just by using it twice and with lvl 3 or 4 tripod cd goes to 4 seconds. I've seen some swift artis on loawa running enhanced shell+swing+forward barrage, without gems for turret mode

[@hamzabouchoucha4303]

run both since they are part of the rotation also forward is counter plus 3 s cooldown

[@mrpah7802]

How much rewards for any gate chest????????

[@nrgubiwan3051]

Do u think an artillerist can out perform a striker or scrapper in dps? (Same itemlvl)

[@iluvatarchem]

very nice guide man. One point I want to make is that on ilevel with a partial relic set all three fights hurt very much. This will be fun on release

[@AE-cj8ch]

It’s about your item level too

[@iluvatarchem]

@@AE-cj8ch well no many people will outlevel Vykas hard by very much. I expect to be at 1465ish so I will die like crazy

[@waltervalencia937]

spec crit artillerist can run this raid? or do i need to change to crit, swift?

[@valraukardso7117]

is swiftness crit artillerist decent at EU/NA atm? I want an artillerist as an alt at 1370

[@jamesshroogle6331]

Is swift Arti actually decent with good investment? I play spec on my 1460 main and my 1385 swift/crit alt deals so little damage compared to when my main was at that gs. I have 4x3 on my alt aswell and change gems over but my tripods are mediorce. Does the relic set help swiftness Arti a lot?

[@zeusanael3416]

of course

[@p13rp1]

I think swift artillerist is better if its your alt, as it is easier to play than spec

[@charohazard]

swift is trash compared to spec but its still passable

[@rjacks3284]

good investment? play whatever is fun is good investment. chasing numbers is pointless just something to satisfy people with frail egos.

[@jamesshroogle6331]

@@rjacks3284 dealing damage is fun to me and I'm asking if I will experience decent damage later on because I dont know myself

[@N1cE2pLaY]

Hi Endie, i need your help with Eso Striker. Which Relic Set should i go for?

[@Hiimbenzo]

1ST ENDIE BRO JUST WHAT I NEEDED

[@Hiimbenzo]

2nd then

[@santiagouhalde]

what engravings u using on this blaster ?

[@alitunaysara]

amazing guide and walkthrough, thanks for your content endie!

[@RoyalNZPoE]

what are the rewards for vykas hard it looked like you only got 2 x the relic items needed to craft with. Isn't it 3x of each material on hard and 2x on normal?

[@SparSchwabe]

You get 6 for normal and 12 for hard if you buy all the boxes

[@haroldareyou]

Hi Endie, i'm on the edge in switching from swift/crit to barrage build. Currently at 1445 and my gold and mats are still sitting as I'm still trying to decide whether to switch or not. Is Swift/crit still viable until Brelshaza?

[@EndieM8]

For sure, it’s a preference. More reliable than spec build but less dmg

[@BsideBomber]

ARTILLERIST MASTER RACE! Also why hit master over adrenaline ?

[@tomek7677]

Maybe little off topic , but does scouter also for same outfit ?

[@EndieM8]

yup, this one is shared

[@gheoagaairsoft8192]

did he ever used the 6p bonus set?

[@isohel11]

do you think hard mode is clearable with only 4x3 legendary accs + 2 2p relic? Getting full relic accs for 5x3 seems impossible for me for now

[@MetinCrafter]

It is. You need Vykas for the full relic set, so you cant really go much higher than 2p on some classes. 4x3 is also perfect for Vykas.

[@isohel11]

@@MetinCrafter thanks, was just worried if the relic acc stats(int/str/vit) would matter

[@MetinCrafter]

@@isohel11 it obviously makes it easier, and you should look to transfer to relic over time but vykas is definently doable without. Clown tho idk

[@SplitMoonlight]

If your whole party is running the same, you will not clear. With that setup, you will be getting carried by your party. 33331 with relics is recommended for prog.

[@MetinCrafter]

@@SplitMoonlight Many KR streamer already said 4x3 with Legendary Accessories is perfectly fine and even 3x3 would work but thats on the more difficult side. What you list is KR recommendations, not NA/EU.

[@nanonidesu8250]

I just realize KR only have solo Valtan, doesnt have any clip about solo Vykas even they Overgear it too much show how hard this Vykas and after

[@EndieM8]

There is solo vykas but only for p3 you need other ppl to do p1 and p2 to do mechanics to progress

[@sohai5848]

Subbing~ waiting for more detail guide ^^

[@Copain88]

Thank you

[@BuroTrusts]

How in gods name are you supposed to do this blind

[@Mx_9-k8t]

People that do honest blind raiding are build different

[@blind187]

thanks for this :)

[@youkiko1664]

do one with redlancer pls

[@PejtuJoker]

impossible with PUG group for like 4,6 weeks Normal we go....

[@Mx_9-k8t]

Gate 1+2 looked very doable (but as he said this group was making it look easy), gate 3 looked like it'll take 2 or maybee 3 tries :P

[@johnbarnes102]

I would like to say informative. But at the same time I am so confused...lol

[@EndieM8]

HAHA I will make a more thorough guide, this was just a commentary I did while doing the raid

[@Scholli_1988]

Bridge

[@zane6723]

Be ready for whales only lobbies 😄

[@rjacks3284]

western lost ark is so cringe huh? according to the devs western servers have by far the most and the biggest whalers. its probably because they cant beat content on ilevel and need to be significantly stronger lol.

[@seanwolf8394]

@@rjacks3284 From my experience seeing non whales without relic gear 3 weeks after valtan shows something very different. Most f2p suck ass. The whales or dolphins invest money and also more time to be better at the game. Poors don't understand, as they are blinded by jealousy.

[@gottakilldemall]

@@seanwolf8394 That’s not true, I had a 1490 sorc in my group on valtan hard that couldn’t get to ghost for every try we did
