Lost Ark

Summoner Builds

Summoner is the newest Advanced Class in Lost Ark. The Summoner will be the fourth Mage class and will be released on December 14. In this guide, we’ll have a look at the best Summoner PvE builds for Lost Ark NA/EU.

Summoner Release Date

The Summoner will be released on 14 December 2022 in North America, Europe, and South America. It is the fourth and currently last Mage class. The other Mage classes are Bard, Sorceress, and Arcana.

Originally Smilegate RPG had planned to release the Summoner as one of the 15 Advanced Classes at the launch of Lost Ark in February 2022. On relatively short notice the Summoner was replaced by the Sorceress Advanced Class at launch.

In South Korea, the Summoner was re-balanced this summer. In the western version of Lost Ark, the Summoner will be released in its rebalanced state.

Summoner Guide

The Summoner is a ranged spell caster. She summons the spirit of the elements to fight for her. In the balance patch Lost Ark received in South Korea in 2022, the Summoner was changed drastically. The Summoner will be released in its released state in NA/EU.

To play a Summoner in Lost Ark efficiently, a player can select between two builds types:

Min/Max Master Summoner Build

The Master Summoner build is based on the Master Summoner class engraving. It is a very high investment build and you need a lot of points in Specialization for this build to make it work properly. It is not recommended for characters that are just starting out, because of the lack of stats and tripods.
