The Lost Ark Season 1 PvP is well underway and many players are experiencing the exciting aspect of PvP. However, to first enter PvP matches players have to pick their Lost Ark PvP stats in the book of coordination.
Let’s take a look at the best PvP stat point options for every Lost Ark class.
Lost Ark PvP Stat Points
The stat points that you select for Lost Ark PvP are separate from the rest of the game. They only take effect within the organized deathmatches, but give you some very important bonuses. First, let’s take a look at what all the stats are and what they do.
- Crit – Gives player’s attacks a chance to critically strike.
- Specialization – Improves special ability effectiveness (Z), resource recovery, and awakening skill damage.
- Domination – Increases damage to crowd-controlled and debuffed enemies.
- Swiftness – Increases attack and movement speed, reduces cooldown duration.
- Endurance – Increases armor, shields, and health.
- Expertise – Increases the durations of debuffs you cast, reduces the duration of debuffs on you, and increases damage to staggered enemies.
Best Lost Ark PvP Stats For Each Class
Now that we know what each stat does, it’s time to look at the best stat distribution for each class. This is simple enough, as there is usually one build that shines above the rest, especially for new players. There are a few options if you know what you’re doing, but sticking to the recommended build will get you far.

Generally, most of your points are put into Swiftness and then some in either Domination, Endurance, or Spec, depending on your class. This will give you a ton of attack speed, movement speed, and cooldown reduction, as well as extra damage, defense, or special ability effectiveness.
It’s very simple, but to the point. Movement speed is vital for PvP in Lost Ark, so you can keep up (or run away from) your enemies and dodge attacks. Meanwhile, extra attack speed and cooldown reduction provide a massive damage boost.
Each stat point is maxed out at 750, so generally you aim to max one stat out, then put the rest into a supporting stat like Domination.
Most classes also put 1 point in Crit. This enables your character to critically strike in PvP, but with just one point it is around 0.003% chance, so it’s most effective on classes with skills that also increase critical strike chance.
How to Queue For Lost Ark PvP
Now that you have a good idea of how to distribute your stats, it’s time to get into some PvP.
