Best Lost Ark classes

Shadowhunter dominates with 1332 ELO points, holding a 54-point lead over Scrapper in second place. This gap marks the sharpest divide in the ranking and suggests players value Shadowhunter's transformation mechanics and damage output above all other classes. Scrapper follows at 1278 ELO with a 71% win rate across 7 duels, proving its melee combat style resonates with a significant portion of the community. Sorceress claims third at 1237 ELO with a 50% win rate, while Sharpshooter and Gunslinger round out the top 5 at 1223 and 1217 ELO respectively. The bottom reveals striking contrasts: Artillerist languishes at rank 15 with just 1096 ELO and a 14% win rate, indicating the heavy gunner class struggles to win favor among voters.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
