Gunlancer

Gunlancer (also known as Warlord) is an advanced class for the male warrior found in Lost Ark. He is primarily a melee class that uses a shield and gunlance as his main weapon.

Additional Info

“	As the first line of defense, gunlancers take the brunt of enemy attacks with their defensive stance and battlefield shield to keep the rest of their party safe. While their gun lance is a formidable weapon, their true value derives from their ability to protect allies and absorb damage like a sponge.	„
