Lost Ark Machinist (Scouter) Skills

Machinist, which is called Scouter in the Korean version, is a simple class around high-tech sci-fi theme, he has yellow skills and blue skills, and purple skills. Yellow skills are yourself using the gun or like the grenades where kind of roll around and fire like you've got some maneuver skills, and then you got the counters there. Blue skills are your drones, you can control your drone with your shift key and if you press X, your drone comes back to you, you can reposition your drone and then use the skill from your drone. Purple skills are combination skills of yourself and the drone, so as in you're doing a combination attack, since they are combined, you can’t do anything with your drone while you are using them, but in the case of blue skills and yellow skills, while you are using a blue skill, you can also use a yellow skill.

The identity skill of the Machinist class is Hypersync, which is charged whenever the Machinist lands an attack, once Hypersync is entered, core energy will be expended by abilities until the Machinist runs out, and his drone can be transformed into a battle suit.

Lost Ark Machinist (Scouter) Build Options

A Scouter has two builds, one has a transformation build and one that focuses on the yellow skill, the blue skill, and the purple skill separately. The more popular one is the transformation class and what it does is if you transform, you get 60 shield and then when you transfer them back, you get returned energy of 40, this is exactly like shadowhunter. So most of the time when you have a proper build with like 1800 spec, the more spec, the better you can transform technically in two skills, you usually have level one of the engravings because the level one engraving is very efficient. The untransformation class is completely different, if you wanted to play that way, that's so better when you get the boost, you can play the transformation build as an alt because it's so much cheaper, it increases the level a little bit, make some Lost Ark gold and then maybe try out a different build, the class is super simple, that's why most people have it as an alt, it's one of the best alternative characters next to shadowhunter.
